Looks interesting

Do  you   have  a working model ?

I  will play  with it  when I have some time  .......hopefully this weekend

Thanks for  sharing  it

Thank you @resonance man !

Long way we are from the elctrinium topic!!

@jesus,
I would like to make your circuit mostly because it is so clear, but I don't want to make it if you have not tried it yet.

I am being overly cautious, maybe but I do not want a battery to explode in my face because I am giving it 100 times too much because I am making a little mistake with a diode.

I have it working and charging another battery at the same time. Both batteries are very old and does not hold a charge.
I am testing if this circuit repairs this batteries, so they can hold a charge.

Ah thank you, jesus,
I will do this almost exactly first. Then I will switch and make a charger from the secondary until I get one to work.
I only have 2 types of diodes for use. they are
4001 - (I made a full bridge out of these.)
and
4007 -(just got them)

I remember you said once before any in the 4000 range will work. I hope that applies to this as well.

I am glad you posted today. I was wondering how you are? You are here. So, good.

Oh good,
And, is it some of these that you are using on your fabulous jt?

Yep

@all

It looks like we have at least 4 people now who have built self chargers This is so great and you know its just the start. I am working on my LLA1 and it should cost less then 250 in parts If you can picture a massive toroid in the center with the JT circuit in the center of it in a shield that part is extremely important. 6 coils coming off and a toroid on each of those with 4 coils coming off each one 24 connections.

All in a circular formation with 4 focus beam points on the out side all pointing at the center. More on the beam to come later. Lets just say I got the idea from TheNOP Thanks! you seem to be right RF is the key!

Hard to explain! Oh and now I am running a second config to make sure I could get the same results. I will post my progress!
