[Pirate88179]

Hey!!  I just hooked my new ferrite bead JT to my other toroid JT and both superbright leds light up very bright!  And, the JT (2nd one in the circuit) with the toroid is waaaay bright!  I think it is getting some cumulative (added) energy from being 2nd in line.  No pics yet and probably not for a while.

That is very impressive as far as lighting 300 LED's !!! Pirate88179 is up to 400....but...given what you learned in power recovery from the Bedini circuit do you think that the voltage going to light the 300  + LED's in this project could be recovered to recharge the battery driving the circuit while driving a few less LED's?   

Regards to all on this project,

Thks,  Mk1, yes all parts from jt plus caps.

“you burry my stuff so quick
- What stuff? Anybody see the “stuff”? Pls give the reference.
“since you need proof
- What proof is it? To charge capacitor? Can you run 5W bulb or comp-fan from it?
Anyway goodluck with your innovation…

There are shape and iron compound in the ferrite may be also different, they all saturate at different freq,And that is adjusted by the resistor .
Also did you have the same gauge wire and turns as previous atemps.

I also posted some nice video i found on youtube (a few post back it), for less electronically incline .

One more of the ferrite bead JT. 

...
.  I believe the extra ferrite mass in the bead helped. 

I don't know how to reconcile that with those that are using no ferrite and no core at all.

Great light, bill.

I ordered what I thought was the wrong thing last month an got a 1" long , where I thought diameter bead.

I am encouraged to make something of it now with this talk of beefier cores.

Thank you for your comment on  how to reconcile these oddments.

We are doing things that are very out there and for which there is no documentation.

So... Please people - When you show a result tell us what you did and what it is. Like how many winds how many wires  resistance  etc. Maybe even say what you were thinking or trying to get.

(I don't mean things the group is doing in general, just when you go out there.) WE REALLY DO WANT TO KNOW!


My druthers,
Thank you,
