i just got done winding this unit on a 1" with 26 ga ...  have not ran it yet ... 

just had a brain fart ...  warning ...  may hurt ...  not sure as i have not tryed it ... 


but how bout you take a flyback from a tv and wind a jt on it ...   


i would expect it to work ok in this setup ... 

might light a few bulbs

Are  you planning on  changing  batterys   every few days ?
Or  using  stepped down AC?


I  am  still thinking that   a a coil can be used to step  down  the  voltage  being used .....   I have  decided  it is time to  work on that  today .

gary

ummm batteries. Off the grid except for the internet. 

A coil can indeed step it down. I am about to post some more details on yesterdays findings next door.

Step down and keep the frequency the same by not changing the base resistor. hmm interesting. Many questions are coming up.

i decided to take apart a celing fan motor today   

it was a pain but i took it all apart

guess whitch part i snaged ... 

?

thats right the ring   so what if i wound on here a mk2 jt  it wants to spin due to induction plus there is alum in it so....   what will be   if we set it up 4 bifillar coils then .....

2 jts transformer and generator then generator transformer ....   hummmmm

lol

I now wound on here a 7 turn primary 14 ga solid  and i was gonna wind another mass to mass as the first primary  then i got to thinking over top of the pickup coils wich will be joined at one end the short end in the pic showen as a mk2 picup coil intertwined but not crossed and output will come of the long ends .. 

but i was thinking of winding a mass to mass secondary of 28 ga like my shift coil ... and it would be hooked up with the first primary then the second primary is 180 deg out of placement as the first one ...  so i will 2 jts all mass to mass except the picups  i will then wind over top of the primaries another mk2 picup the same as showen in the pic below  but thease ones will grab from the 28 ga windings ...  and i could do 1 final collector winding right around the hole thing ....

lol


what ya think

ist!  its already half done ...
