Well, then what am I doing wrong?

I am in the process of getting 2 to light off one line today, but they are modified.

And ist,
if you are adding 500F and not telling me, please fess up!

my ring is .22uf  2 turn 1" gm 100 turn there bouts 30 ga rs

my cams just the cheepest things i could find .. 

i tryed to make a video but ...  baaaa   

ill try agin later! 

agin my CFLS USE 120 MA 110V TO OPERATE PROPERLY ... 

i have not supplyed it enough to run constant yet from a aa as it were pluged in the wall ...

but IM VERRY CLOSE ....

Dumb question. Why do you want to drive an unmodified CFL?

You try to run the jt in the most efficient manner but then you are taking the output and feeding it into an inefficient circuit board on the CFL.

[jeanna]

You know the resistor i mean , the one you use to put before the circuit , i guess you replaced it with a rheostat .

Longer i mean run time.

OK just fyi, I use the base resistor to protect the base of the transistor.

The rheostat or the protection I was using in my multiple secondary experiments was eye protection because those leds at full brightness were hurting me after an hour.

And to answer your question,
No, Whenever I want to see what is really going on,  I remove that resistor and blast my eyes!

The rheostat, here is for the' jeanna's light' and similar circuits. This lowers the input voltage and allows the cfl to remain lit for many more hours with a simple turn of the knob.

Again no,
The only resistor I am using with this is at the base and right now it is
68ohm
2.03Khz
1110v

thank you,

We went over this last night.

I want the heat from the inefficient board, because that heat makes the bulb very much brighter.
and
the next step is to light a filament bulb like kapandanze, but without the spark, just with the pulses from a transistor.
I know this is asking a lot.
I also demand a lot of myself.

YOU ASKING ME MAGS ...  ?

i will use it to bang coax loops .......

; )

w

from an aa

j  my 12 cam BOARD WILL LITE BULBS......

the way it is ...  use 1.5 vdc a few d cells ......

still love ya!

your the hardest worker of all and shared the most! 

MUCH RESPECT!

WHAT IS THE MATH ON 880V...  150 MA?   OR EVEN JUST THE WATTS ... ?

110?  HOW MANY MA'S?

THANK YOU !

if you go over they will melt down as the TINY WIRES CANT handle so much amps .....
