hummmmmmm

intresting ...... 

what are you switching .... 

the original mot unit i have currently buit is positive swtched .... and compounds in the cap that feeds it ....

ill digg it out and shoot a video of it ...

peace

ist!

I am not sure what you mean by  positive  switching .

I am   using the  first  MOT as a JT

I could  try to  drive the first MOT with the output of  another  JT if I need to .

gary

[innovation_station]

i mean pnp  not npn  you will get better results ....

as i have seen anyways ...

cam is not working well for some reason ......  hummmmmm

since mag fields can be added together or nullify each other.

when adding a magnet:
you will assist inrush current at the detriment of the coil's mag field colapse rate.
or assist the coil's mag field colapse rate at the detriment of the inrush current.

whitch one do you think is preferable ?
this can be tested with a cored inductor with a magnet on them.

you can find such inductors in electronic circuit that need a biased inductor.
i occasionaly get one of these in printer's circuit boards.


i hope this post does not look too pendentic.
i perfer being pedentic then to use emoticons, cryptic language, and assume everyone will understand.

on the other side i do see that using emoticons and cryptic language is a nice way not to write any erronous things.

@ Gadgetmall,
Getting exciting now, ha ha, my MOT is still on the floor, lol.

Very TRUE and you will find that they increase Current as well . i have did small test with the primary only and sparking increases the current . Is it Because the wire is so thick? Is there OU in COPPER MASS ? We will find out .

@electricme . You have an advantage as your stuff (MOT) are 220 ours in use are 110 . They still kick though .

G-Day Gadget, and thanke   
but wont this be exciting if we can get OU out of a JT. I think the energy is coming from the Magnetic Field, I remember reading Iron reacts best with magnetic fields, I suppose the Earths Magnetic field would be included.
Stubblefield made his earth battery work with earths magnetic field, it must be a "mass" thing, the larger the iron, the more easier it is to latch up with it. 

In J Bedini's home page, or was it Icehouse, there is a photo of him sparking his bedini, and there are aeather sparks (blueies) and usual orange sparks in the next photo. hmm so I suppose if we get blue sparks, this is the stuff we need?

@all
I hope everyone is heeding these warnings, so much to doooo, so little time.

@ Pirate,
This is a little bit off topic folks.
I been up to no good mate,  I took a look at John Bedini's stuff over the last several days, I think I will attempt to make one of his devices. I have removed the Tape Head Drum assembly from an old VHS player I had here, it has a very smooth spinning action, very sweet if I might say so myself.

I have 47 of those unpronounceable silver disk magnets 1/2" by 3/16" in size. They have a pull or a repulsion like nothing I ever seen before

I don't want to take up any more thread space here Bill, so could you please PM me with ALL the details on how to make one of these thingies? TA

@all,
Good work in this forum, we making headroad.

As I understand it  the  reason the longer ones  are harder to light  because   you have to have enough  voltage to overcome the internal  resistance of the tube ....

But Gary, it is the opposite.
It is easier to light the longer ones.
They are so much bigger volume and have so much more surface area to light.

The minimum  frequency  would  be the lowest  frequency  you can run it at without   loosing    the  plasma  path for the  current  .

Sounds good.

And, I wonder what that frequency is.

Thanks for your thoughts,

The biggo stopped at 4 hours on the 7 watt fluoro.
It was on for less time than the 15 watt was on last weekend, by at least 15 minutes.
I will do the 15 watt test again tomorrow. I want to see just how much longer it will light and what the "dead" voltage will be.

The battery with the 7 watt fluoro tube off stands at 1.15v.

This is at least consistent. Harder to light the littler one and it goes out sooner with 1.15 battery voltage remaining.
