Just a quick picture of my upside down garden. One of my north electrodes is directly under this garden.

OMG...... 


WOW

OK I FOUND AN ENGIEZER ADAPTOR 16V 4 AMP


THEN I HOOKED IT UP TO MY 6" SREEL RING LIKE A JT .. 

AND 2 NEOS 1 SIDE AND 1 NEO THE OTHER ...  I HAVE 2 COPPER COATED CARBON RODS FOR WELDING  SO NEOZAP TIME ... 

IN LIKE LESS THAN 2 MIN I HAD THE CARBON ROD GLOWING RED HOT

SOME ONE NEED A HEATER ... LOL

NEVER MIND HOW BRIGHT THE LIGHT WAS FRON THE SPARK GAP  AGIN 16V 4 AMP

DONT TOUCH THE RODS OR THE NEOS....

IST

ILL TAKE SOME PICTURES ... I NEVER TRYED A BULB BUT IF YOU CAN GET THE JT TO POWER THIS OR TO CONTROL THIS THEN YOU GOT ALL THE POWER YOU NEED .....

" So about the 12 volt bulb as a transistor heat quencher you are absolutely right.  The only problem is that it kills the pickup output. "

Hey Jesus, great work.

Maybe if you  try a variable resistor in front of the 12v bulb, it wouldn't hog all the energy...or even a smaller bulb.

Just a thought, hope it helps.

@ jesus ..  what if you wound a second one exactly like the first pickup coil left

all that is intact ... think you will pull ou put from the second coil ?

ist?

Pardon my ignorance.
Are you saying, to make a secondary winding as the one on the left side and check if it outputs voltage?
Nice video. Tremendous power!

I discovered that the 12 volt bulb I used is an halogen bulb and it needs a transformer to work properly.

Lets see What I can do.

Jesus:

That is not the type of bulb Jim was talking about.  What he meant was just a simple, Edison based tail light bulb that works on 12 volts.  They should be a pretty standard item of either a GE 1157 or 1159.
