@Artic_Night,
OK, I just put my cro on my earth battery for you, the Super cap is disconnected.

if anyone scopes a earth battery please post a pic! that is something i would love to see!

I can go one better mate, try clicking on my tiny video.

Here are some photos of my Fuji JT that I enclosed inside of an 8mm video tape case.  maybe this will cut down on my shocks, ha ha.

Thanks to all for explaining why I have 2.5 volts on my cap with 1.95 input.  I believe Jeanna said it first, but thanks to the others as well.  I believe this explains it exactly.  Spikes to fast for my DMM to "see" but the cap does not lie and will charge to the highest input voltage including the spikes.  This now makes total sense and I am not at odds with the science and what I have been seeing.  I love it when I learn something and it fits my visual reality and the real world, ha ha.

Jim:

I will watch your vid after I post these photos.  I'll bet that is interesting.  I want to see how that compares to Jeanna's shots.

Thanks again to all.         Gadget, good luck at the demonstration.  May the light be with you, ha ha.  Your stuff will work fine.  Take some pics and post them here when you return.  We would love to see them.

Man, that is all over the place but it appears to be consistently all over the place, if that is even possible.  If mine looks anything like that no wonder my DMM can't read the spikes.  It almost looks like a Bedini or JT circuit but the spikes are not as dramatic.  Thank you so much for posting this.  I have learned so much today my head might explode like an over loaded cap.

@Bill,
That is the stile n way to go, nice lime green, very nice indeed.
I'm sure your fingers will be safe from shocks now Bill, well done.

@Jeanna,
I went and took a look at your scope of your earth battery output, its bit different to mine, but I have seen the same on my scope at times, does your EB traceing move around like that seen in my TWV?

@Gadgetmall,
Good luck when you travel to your destination, safe travelling, and I hope many buy your goods and wares.

@All
This video was taken just about a half hour from the previous one.
Here you will be able to see just how much the waveform has changed from the 1st one.

I have not altered any settings on the CRO.
The flickering is a bad connection, probably its on the EB clip to a electrode in the ground.
