I been there 

my wife took over the computer and would not give it up

I will try to get it tonight though....I have had no time to wind and it is frusturating for me but I'm glad things are happening.

Arrrrrh dosent it hurt lol, no rest for the mental anguish oooooohh.
Been there done that ,,,, the only answer is to get PC number 2 
heee he

@ Jesus,
Thanks for the positive points TA.

Congratulations @electricme!!!
If what you say is true then you are my hero!!!
I will replicate as soon as I gather the needed parts.

Jesus

Hurry and get the parts, lol.

BTW, this is not to deflect anyone away from the JT research, but I just want everyone to know of my success.
One very positave outcome has been the Transistor, its a 2N5886 in a TO3 case, same as the 2N3055, but looking at its specs, it can handle over twice the amps that a 2N3055 can, in fact almost 3 times as much.

Its rated as a 40amp device, and its a NPN transistor, it can handle 80volts, it should be no trouble as a substute in the JT circuit.

Gee I like that XX JT.

Just a hint, a key if you like, wind 3 coils, call them coil 1, coil 2 and coil 3 onto a toroid.
Feed stright DC into coil 1
Feed Hz into coil 2

See how much energy you can pick up on coil 3

@MK1,
I saw a circuit a couple of pages back with 2 transistors on it, (I think it was yours) coupled by a 10uF cap, here is a idea for you, bridge the cap with either a 1k or 5k pot the cap, (might need a higher rating one), then you should be able to adjust the frequency, it will be crude, but will work.

How square are the pulses? are they sharp or rounded?

Jim:

You always have these great ideas man.  I really like what you have done with your Bedini.  I am still trying to digest your pm but, once again, I will say that the EB, JT, Russian Tesla experiments, and Bedini are all related.  I remember seeing this when I didn't know anything and now, I know just a little more but I believe this is the case.

I too am very behind on this topic and have to play catch-up.  (no fun at all)  The Kapandzie (sp?) topic is moving along and Jeanna's Tesla posts are coming into focus now.  I do believe this is real and so do many others.  It is not only possible, but doable from regular folks like us with limited funds.

@Xee2
Now do you mean I should put several caps in series or parallel, what values should I put there?
Remember its putting out 40volt, so the caps have to be able to soak it up without spillage.
I can see a few hours scrounging through all my caps coming up he he.

@ electricme

It looks like this is running on the batteries. Will it run without any batteries?

Thanks Xee2

@Bill,
Thats right, all this is all related in some shape or form together, and Jeanna and all the others without exception are doing great work here, even the "phantomes lol" those who read and make a JT etc, but don't post. 

Well done all of us
