you know you really have no idea how much you built till you digg it out and look at the MOUNTIANS!

i added some pictures of the spec sheets for the rectifier diodes .. 

it will take like 120 000 watt  to blow it .. and the other can rectify that much ..

I like  the 1n4007s   
for  expermenting  I don't see any reason to  buy a diode  that  is likely to blow out.
These  are one of the kinds of diodes that worked well on the water arc  thread

In this video I have a Joule Thief running a SEC 15 and lighting a 4w CFL off a 1.5v AA battery.

The transformer is from an old PC power supply.
I have three small magnets on top of the transformer to help with oscillation.

The BEMF from the JT is going into the big cap and running the SEC 15.

Here is the video.
