Joule Thief

      Your switch isnt working because when you reach a certain frequency and voltage it ionizes the air.  This causes a coronal discharge from whatever you are trying to switch which becomes a plasma and then a superconductor.  You might want to try a reed switch and a magnet.  The reed switches are hermetically sealed and the air removed.
  Your transistors are shorting because as I explained earlier the standing waves created in the bifilar resonance are backing up into the transistor.  You are on the frindge of creating scalar potential field relativity.  To tell turn off all the lights and cover any leds in the circuit.  Pitch black.  Place a piece of ironwire that is either painted or rusted near the torroid or any number of feet away.  If you see it light up with a little blue fuzzy hase bingo.

You may be onto finding one of the keys to a self-runner there.  Start it with the battery, and then...maybe you don't need one?

Hi Bill,
This is so interesting.
I just came back here to report that at 7:50 the lights are finally out. that is 6 hours on a AAA
the battery dead point is 450v, but it recovered so quickly it was hard to remember.
Whatever it is , it has been below the transistor start point for 2 hours.

There was one thing I wanted to check and I did.

I put a newer battery in and the lights went on very bright, then when I removed the battery, they drained the caps in about 3 seconds, so there was still something in that dying system that was in fact using the battery.

thank you,

Thanks sparks,
I agree that the system is arcing. I think it is arcing over the switch.

.
The transistors which died were in the window and never used. After I saw I had some bad ones, I checked them all.
I am waiting, because I think I threw too much magnetism their way. At least I hope so. I am not happy to think that radiating transistor killing rays are coming into my window.

I like the sound of that!

Hmm.
I think it is inside the switch not outside but I will try to arrange things as you described.

Today's circuit has no switch. I snapped a pic. It is on a wooden board.

thank you,

ok last up date for the night NOW IM POWERING FROM 1 AA  THE MAGIC MAKER ...  3 17000UF CAPS DRIVEING THE MKC COIL AT 7.9VDC AND CHARGEING THE SUPERCAP AND BURNING THE LEDS ... LOL


GOOD NIGHT ...   the thing has ran now over 2 hours and i have secondary ou put of 75vdc on the mkc and i can momontarly pulse the super cap get light and recharge the source ... 


simple baby toys ...

w

all that from 1 tap point!   what bout my 5 base feeds ...  naw this cant be overunity ... it should do more .... 

silly humans!

is this something like you were thinking ??

I mean your regular circuit but with a flyback jt on the first stage , the cap will fill faster.
