will   btw you are a fool.  and i will porpousally  NOT USE SPELL CHECK    just for your kind 

listen go read the dam post i never said it was faked ....  i said i never did it ....  and i said for you to make sure to put all wires in your pictures....   duh!!

solve the shit ...   i did ...

now you all pissed me off


GOOD BYE......

if you were not so BLINDED BY THE MONEY ..... SHEESH!!!!  YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IT A LONG TIME  AGO....

I AINT DRIVEN BY MONEY....... hence all i have done ....

isteam!!

for the record im still broke lol   

ill post it AGIN RIGHT HERE   read the dam thing   doubt it lol  built it and find out .....   lol   

not only do you chalange me but tesla as well .......the the man that gave you almost all you have .....   agin FOOL.....

seen the movie IRONMAN?!?!?!?!   and you want advanced toys when you can not grasp the simple ones forget it!!

@ MK1:

I have no idea.  All I have is the manufacturer, model number and serial number.  It is an industrial laser and is a component of a larger system so it did not have to be labeled like a consumer laser would.

I looked it up about a year ago, and all I found was a diagram showing which end was which.  These tubes are probably at least ten years old or so. (guess)

I need to do more searching on the net to see what I can find.  I was just hoping I could get enough from the JT Fuji AA circuit to get it to fire up, even if only at low power.

Hey, what would happen if I put the tube in my microwave oven?  Just kidding!  It is ideas like that which used to get me into a lot of trouble in my younger days.

@pirate

Try google patent,http://www.google.com/patents?id=jkk9AAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&dq=4352185

Mk1 name is because i am fast or sleeping. mach1 lol

@ MK1:

By gosh, that looks just like it....thank you!!!!  I am looking at it right now.

@All

Small toroid JT: I added the diode and cap to this one and it really didn't give as much of an improvement as I saw in the big toroid JT. I think it topped out at around 1.9vdc. So, this tells me that, using identical parts, reducing the size of the toroid reduces output voltage dc.

Big toroid JT: I remade this, keeping the windings on it. I used identical parts with the only exception being that I used the Darlington transistor( Radio Shack PN 276-2068 ). Using this transistor gave me 0.3vdc more than the JT using the 2N3904. So, before I had an output of 3.0vdc and now it outputs 3.3vdc now 
Not too much of a gain, but it's a gain nonetheless.

I was told to set a firm goal. So, I think I want to end up with a JT that is as efficient as possible. I don't really care about adding or changing components as long as the original function of the JT remains, which I have been told is a blocking oscillator. If that's not the right term, then whatever it IS. My ultimate goal is to be able to run my air conditioner from an Earth Battery. I think using a JT or some variation of it would be useful in achieving that. To me, that would be a victory like no other. I live in Montgomery, Alabama and the house I rent is old and not energy efficient and the air conditioner is old too. So, my electricity bill for July - September is usually $300+ /month. Most of that is my air conditioner. If it took me $100 in components and stuff to make and Earth battery setup to run the AC off of, I would gladly spend it in order to save me $1000/year.

Don't get me wrong about the camera circuit and other stuff. I am playing with that as well. I'll look into whatever it takes to run my AC from an Earth battery
