UM,
So is it 3 primaries and 3 secondaries?

If that is so, then are you connecting the 3 primaries to individual transistors?

I have a goldmine that gave me a poor response (I have 4 like that). Its secondary is wound all around the core. I might try a primary like the one you are making. I will see if that primary can make an improvement in the secondary output on this 5/$1 goldmine. The 1 inch OD part is nice.

Thanks ist.
Keep posting with explanations. Your ideas are good, and the pics just need a little explanation. Today is helpful.

yes jeanna

all are alone units ... all collectors will get the ringging spikes from all 3 phases .. and they remain on less time than the original jt ...

it will operate on 3 pulses comeing from this 1.50 $ dollar chaser powered by 3 button cells wich i will change as i some how find the dow for super caps ..

none the less concept is still the same ... i will also on the next unit add a collector atop the hole thing ..

i will get a wave much like my 5555 coil ou put  except it will be 280v + rectified in 3 caps the neons are not needed but work well for indicator lights ... i can constantally short thease caps and i get a REAL NICE SPARK 

the primary jt are rotated by 3rd's and hooked up to the 3 leds from the chaser they will then power the idependent jt's 123 123 123

to improve this unit i will drop the turns to 1 turn jt's phased the same ..

Oh yes,
I forgot about the chaser. I was ignoring the round thing since I couldn't make sense of it!

Is it the chaser that is making the timing happen?

thanks,

the chaser controlls the rotation  but it is the jt that makes the close to resonant timeing of the spikes ...  i could tap the leds on the chaser for recovery to recharge the source ..

but i do prefer not to ... altho i may have to to stop from blowing leds when the ringgging colpase comes back

i will finish a simple fast nicad charger  first .. as it is only 3 of those in 1

ist!

got my coffee so im a good 2 go

I need some help and advice since I am unable to get this working.
Could someone please verify and correct me where I am wrong.

Thanks
