HEy guys this is the Coolest light Source i have ever seen . EL wire . this one is white . 3 foot . It came from Ebay for a few dollars and comes with the powersupply that runs from a dead AAA battery !! has flash mode and on mode. It lights up nice at night and i had it on blink last night in a lightning bolt pattern and it was COOL ! These are amazing and runs from a tiny AAA battery with hardly no volts at all . The neat thing is it feels just like copper wire and you can bend it crease it what ever . I found other sources  and it looks like about a dollar a foot but this is the only one i have seen that runs from aaa battery . this ran all night long and still has power from  my dead alky batt is 0.7 volts . i wont open this but this has to be producing in excess of 100 volts output cause i have some el panels and they wont light on anything less and the ones you buy as night lights have stepup inverters in them  more like 1000+ V.
here is one that is 7.5 feet with two aa batteries . http://cgi.ebay.com/7-5FT-El-wire-glow-wire-cool-neon-battery-driver-White_W0QQitemZ110429563810QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b61d6ba2

THE  G TPU WOULD BE KOOL BUT .... bet its a ways away yet .... 

lol


Q wanna build  BOOST CAP BLOWER UP ER ... ? 


OR AN INVERTOR POWER SUPPLY ...


i would but ya know the song ...   AINT GOTTS THE  CAPS!

H

lol : )

Hey . I cant believ you aint got it yet . Well it will be there this week unless customs it taking there sweet time with it on your side . Shure i need a cap blowerer upper . but i need it to run off AA battery and i need it to pull less than 3 ma

Ok i tried 2n2222 2n3709 (2n3055 was the worst) , the trim pot is 1 k.

I don't have the budget for bulbs yet, also my meter is not working on the amp , only the 10 amps range , not even close to be precise .

I got 4 primary on the last test only 2 are used , i tried running 2 transistor (2 jt) got the same result i usually get in those circumstance with regular toroid.

It lowers the output , the other primary act like a secondary feeding the second transistor it doesn't need the battery it runs on the coil it self , try anyway you will see . To do there best work they would need to be in sync , link the base of both transistor.

My wire secondary is quite bigger then rg6 sat cable , i would love some 16 or 18 .

I also have a tube a bought years ago the same size , they are likely sold some where , they look like poster tube.

I have found that to get enough turns the core needs to be taller a bit , the angle usually at 45 degree 18 turns each 6 revolution .

Ok i go to bed now it 10h20 am.

Third time in a week , oh yes the motor is running even better and direct on the bridge , i feel like last year starting on the jt , now starting over with resistive load , this year will be great !

Mark can you describe the directions of your primary and secontary winds?  Clockwise/counter?  Are you starting from top or bottom?  I think I will make a small coil today!

HAHAHA

yea and it Will take a lifetime to fill ... lol


silly

you want pump bro!

this means  USE POWER!!!!!!!!!

LOL

H

IF I PUMP 60VDC AT 10KHZ at 2 amp ... how long to fill the caps ..... ?

lol
