@Xee . ya a Slash and and a few bars on that coil symbol please .

How about this? Actually, I think it should be labeled "unknown" which is why I did not lable it.

that looks. good  . It was in a little bag of assorted inductors I got from goldmine Electronics for 2.49

   As said, if you start stacking these doublers, dont touch the wrong place. Remember the voltage tripler in TV's nowdays puts out 35k and its a killer.

thaelin i believe its the amps thats the killer, more specifically down to 0.01 amps can stop a heart. anything lower than that and you will live. it will hurt, possibly burn, but you will live.

@NOP and xee,

So, what is the 5 watt tube using if you

1-and
2-
Is this for real?
What on earth CAN you assume?

We seem to be going around in circles.
On the one hand the laws of physics are used recursively to keep all assumptions inside the "Known" box,

(this is reasonable enough for trained people,)

and on the other we cannot assume that when we turn on a 5 watt light that we are giving it what it needs , which in this case would be 5 watts?

thank you for any thoughtful answers,

jenna what is going on with led's and florescents is we are using a high frequency high voltage circuit that does not pass FCC regulations because if you get it near a CRT (old tube tvs and monitors) it will cause distortion. if we were to utilize such a circuit we would have to find where the interference comes from and prevent it from happening. im suspecting it uses the power lines in the house to basically cause all kinds of fun.

This is not true at all.  There is an EE on my youube videos saying the same thing.  He also says I need water for the electrolyte for the reaction.  I told him my best readings are in totally dry soil and he says that is impossible.  The electrodes do NOT get used up in this configuration.  For those that don't know about how an earth battery works I suggest reading the research done by us on those two earth battery topics.  Through our experimentation we proved it is not galvanic and the electrodes do not deteriorate at all.  You can light an led with 2 copper pipes cut from the same tube if you get the spacing and alignment correct.  How can you have a glavanic reaction with 2 similar metals?  I asked this EE this and he said you can't get any volts from 2 copper pipes.  I have done it and seen it and he has not.

Please read the research done on the earth batteries before making definitive statements about them that are not correct.  Don't take our word for it, make one yourself and see, then you will know.  Thanks.

to further the EB statement i can take 2 2" galvanized nails and get .011 volts from them less than an inch appart!
