I was only able to really light a lot of leds from my EB once I began using very large supercaps.  I simply put them in parallel with the JT and the EB.  My original EB would only light a red led and from that, I was able to power a Fuji JT to light a 48" tube and later, 400 leds once i used supercaps.  This was a great suggestion given to you.  I know it will work.

I have seen all ur video on EB, and its truly amazing. I definitely gonna try it once i get those caps. But may i know how to put cap in parallel with JT and EB? Resonanceman has provide me the diagram(reply 14316).. Is it the same with what u have suggest? I have little knowledge in electronic and wish to learn more.. 

Thanks

Yes, it should be.  Parallel just means that you could remove the caps from the circuit, and there still would be a circuit.  so, I just took the + and - from the EB and ran it to my JT and where I connected to my JT I tapped in and place the supercaps using jumper wires.  so, the original circuit was still there, I just added the caps in addition.

Thanks for watching my videos.

@All,

Today I did a lot of testing on my figure 8 oscillator.
I got rid of the bias heating (in the resistor and pot) by
making a new trigger coil with fewer turns. So now the
coils, the resistor and the potmeter runs cool, but now
the transistors gets hot. So it seems that I have moved
my heating problem to the transistors. Hmmm.....
Maybe I should try Mosfets instead?

what is the draw on the batterys..
i haven't seen a fun saver in awhile..
might have to get me one..
right now i am just going to rewind my fugi primanys so i can use them in my solar lights..
i can get these fugi transformer down to 48 ma's and still light a 9 watt cfl..
people thinks its kool when they see my solar lights running and i tell them they are solar powered..
this time i am going to epoxy my transformers cause my old ones didn't last all year..
