Thank you xee and Hazens!
7watt fluoro tube
15 watt fluoro tube
no go on the cfl.

I needed some magnet action to make it turn on
Not the one that connects to pos, but just the pickup
and 100uF across battery rail
100nF (104k) across base resitor

yeay!!

Great Job!!!!!

@ jeana

He had 400 after the bridge so it was RMS which means his peak to peak was higher. You need more turns on your pickup coil because it takes more turns with a low permeability core.

Interesting that you added this.
I was about to reply thusly:
I realized just now that the volts went down to 400v when I added the 104 cap.
That cap had extinguished the light when I had tried it yesterday and when I was trying to make the exact copy today the scope was on the pickup wires. That is how I know it reduced the voltage to 400v.

So, in fact this is not a difference anymore.
Just the magnet starter.
edit

EDIT: Whoops. It wasn't RMS. But you need more turns to get more voltage with your low permeability core. If you add more turns on you pickup coil you should be able to light tube without magnets.

Oh, I see. I even do have room on this biggo for more turns.

This is an unknown u value. I got it from allelectronics before I ordered those very low permeability ones from cws.
I expect some more success with them, now, because I bet I have the formula...
end edit

It sings up a storm too.

Thank you.

quick put a magnet inside the torroid!!!!! watch it spin from the magnetism in the torroid!! watch it make the light brighter!!!

@ jeanna

You have demonstrated a real example of getting free energy from magnets. The tube would not light without the extra free energy from the magnets. Very good demonstration.

@IST,
This might work.

hummm 

I MUST REMIND YOU NOW THIS SAME THING HAPPINED  TO ME ... A WHILE B4 THE LAST ONE ONLY THEY BURNT OUT MY SCREEN ON MY OTHER LAPTOP ....

DO U KNOW WHY ...  LOL

THINK ABOUT RINGINGGGG  CRYSTALS MGAICLY ...

IF THEY DONT CARE LETS TALK QUANTUM COMUNICATIONS ...

OR SCLAR WAVE  RING ... WANDS... 

AND IF THEY STILL DONT CARE LETS GO  ALL THE WAY TO BUILD A DEVICE THAT BURNS OFF CHEM TRAILS AND POKES A HOLE IN THE SH!T WEB ... USED FOR MIND CONTROL ...  AND WILL ALLOW THE CONCISOUS RAYS TO ENTER OUR REALITY AND WAKEN HU-MAN MINDS ...

BETTER GO GET YOUR ARMOR.... 

In the good old days when TV was new, some people lived in a valley, and they couldn't get reception, so some bright spark put an ordinary TV antenna on the toop of the hill, added another TV aerial which pointed down into the valley.
Both aerials were connected by ladder 600 ohm flat ribbon down load wire, each aerial had a ballon at either end.

OK, whats to say the same thing carn't be done to stop scalor waves at your place or anyones place? Find out the frequencies they use, and bounce the sig back at the cloud, will it be at 180 degreese?

will it work, don't know, neva tried it, but I know if a 180 degree signal can null the incomeing one.

How to find the frequency, get a photo of the antennas making the problem, look at for a reference thing that you know what size it is, a part, a fitting, a door frame, then match this against the length of the aerial, use ham radio aerial tables to calculate the dimensions of the antennas.

I don't have the stuff or the knowledge to do this, its just theory but it just might work.
