In other devices people have found that 22 turns is magic. I wonder about that in your circuit.

It would be interesting to add or subtract  a few turns ..this is not based on any theory.

@ All:

I think I finally have my Jeanna Light tuned pretty well over here.  I settled on 2 turns on the base, (22 ga. solid wire) around 330 on the pick-up (28 ga. mag wire) and 5 turns on the collector.(22 ga. stranded)  I am using a wire wound vr on the base of 25 ohms which gives me enough room to adjust for best light and less singing.  I have also added one of my large and very powerful 1" OD X 2" long neos left over from my Jonny Davro one magnet Bedini experiments and this brightens the light a lot and raises the freq. of the singing to where I can't hardly hear it at all.

I got zapped once again and this is putting out some pretty high voltage  according to my subjective pain meter located in my finger tips.

I just ran the light for about 2 hours and I find it fascinating that the cfl bulb was not only not hot, it was ice cold...colder than my room temperature.  I may try the addition of a trigger coil to the circuit just to see what happens there.  One other thing I thought about trying was that, since I am running on 1.5 volts, I think my EER might be able to run this circuit, possibly even without any super caps in the circuit.  I may try that on Christmas.

I love this little light!

well i can add a few things here .. 

i use 3 turns ... total ... jt  my leds are bright ... 

33ohm resistor...3/8 toroide.. od

there are many things i dont agree with but .  we will let it iron its self out lol


IM STARING A NEW THRED ..

THE WJT TRANSFORMER WINDING 101 

W J T  STANDS FOR  WILLIAM JEANNA TESLA TRANSFORMER ...  : )

W

this is my 3 turn jt  and how bright my 4 ultra brights are ... i CAN NOT GET A CLEAR PIC OF THE LEDS ... THERE TOOOOOOO BRIGHT!

@ kooler

There is not much difference in diodes at low currents, so I think it does not matter what you use. I have looked at his circuit and think it is very clever, but it does not seem like the diode across the base coil is needed. I was tempted to build it just to see. But if you are building one, maybe you can see if removing it makes any difference in performance.

i have bedinis that use this DIODE XEE#2

YES IT HAS A PORPOUS.... lol

shall i tell you ?  it recrifies the colpase from the trigger and sends it out with the pulse ....

feed back ?  in a managable amount ... yes i know so.... I BLEW UP METERS WITH IT .. on a demo

filled the room with smoke ... well  lets just say THERE WAS NO MISSING THAT WE BLEW THE METER ... i used this method  a while ago 

never EVER BLEW 1 3055 EVER USEING THAT UNIT AND 12DC SUPPLY .... the unit i sopke of was to be sent by boat over seas or was that under seas lol  for study ...  i never wanted to let it go ....

it was un comoleate ... and rests in the same way i left it ...   there was a big ram on for a unit that will charge 6 bateries from 1  ...  MINE WILL DO IT WITH EASE ...  BUT I NEVER OPENED THAT CAN OF WORMS ... SO WHY SHOULD I FIX RICHARDS BS ... CUZ HE COULD NOT PULL IT OFF....

I WILL NOT ..  HE OPENED THAT CAN ... NOT KNOWING HE WOULD BE USEING MY WORK ....

SO THERE IT RESTS ....   and as far as i know he still cant control it ...

when you run off to get rich your the fool ... lol 

w 

btw xee2 diodes play a far larger roll than you realize ...   i have covered this in the past ....

@ XEE2

what if the result is this ....  hummmm what if useing the diode on the trigger induces this effect ...  i will not say it does ... as i never scoped it ..  it is quite possible it does ...

That is what i thought  ! , I don't know how to make it any clearer . If you look at the Jt circuit  as i posted  and disconnect the bcap an put it in another room  and just have the jt on the table , ok . I use two meters , Double ,triple checked them and they are working properly with good batteries . I simply measure the input current across My one ohm resistor to determine what my circuit draws and leave that ammeter going ,ok , then i put another ammeter across the wires that would normally go to my bcap ,which is the other room and i let that ammeter measure that connection  the result is what you see . It is not normal . I won't say anything else about it , this one is Alex's and he can have a go at it but it appears this is outputting 18 more milliamps and about 2 more volts higher than it is using . I can't explain it but this is what it is doing . I must be going crazy and My eyes and camera and everything must be wrong . I swear this is exactlywhat this jt is doing  and so to further test this out before it goies in the morning i put two 30 farad supercaps on it . the run is or was 1.701 and the charged charge cap was 2.000 and i just put a light bulb regulator on it to see what will happen . Of Courase the run cap charged up to equal the charged cap and has stabilized at 2.00 volts for over 15 minutes without a drop . anyways I have no explanation why this exact duplicate of my other Heater Jts is outputting more current and voltage ? No  Idea  . I am tired . and i am so tired of seeing all these weird things i will put it all in Groundloops hands ,give it to him and let his eyes see what mine are seeing . Have i got some kind of power to make this stuff do what it does ? Has God given me something no one else has ? . Well i will have that question answered when Alex has a look .

Peace and good will is all i ask guys . . Please do not flame me for My Postings . I really do see what i see and i am starting to believe what i see and why only a few can do it bothers me . A lot ! I'm not Crazy i don't think.

Thanks for the response Xee2 . i thought the same thing but i want to know for sure so we will see . I'll ask Alex to post his findings  on this Jt and then if he dosnt see it  i guess ill trash my equipment , but i really think he will see what i see and i am sure My expensive Fluke is working percectly as i said i swapped both meters and they read the same within a micro amp:)

Merry Christmas

al a special gift was put in your hand my dear sun!

: )

no worries on your eyes bro ..  you have special skills ...   that is clear lol

did you get any snow .. ?  i tryed to pass some your way ... not sure if it made it far enough.. got close tho ...    lol   

ist!

A CLEAR PIC OF THE ...... IST MINI JT 3 TURN

i should be able to easly tune a secondary to it ... for recharge ... if i do it correctly in winding ... it will be idependent of source ......  la de da ... 

use 1 diode and out to cap common ground ... back to source ...  free light ?  aside the switching cost of the transistor ...

now what about 2 outputs the basic jt light and feed back and seprate recharge ..  yikes on a 3/8 od toride ...  thease are not super bright leds .. there ULTRA BRIGHTS....  and so they are ...

here are a few more pics of a compleated unit b4 i heat shrink it
