Hello IST

it has been a while   

Your circuit seems to be pretty interesting and I hope people are able to replicate.

Anyways keep up the good work.

Hi Osiris,
I have tried replicating your interesting circuit with the RF recharge variation. But the battery did not get recharged.
I used 3 TIP3055 in place of 2N2222A.
The JT coil was wound wound with a pickup which drive LED loads.
Everything else was the same as your specification.
The GDT( gas discharge tube)was a 250V 2 pole.
So Osiris, do you mind give me the spec of your GDT or spark plug firing voltage, because I think the 250V firing voltage is too high for my circuit.
The JT I build did give 170V AC out. But consumes quite some currents for lighting up 25 leds.
The battery voltage kept decreasing, no matter how I adjust the 1K pot.
It did climbs at some moment when I adjust it, but never kept recharging the battery, it just consumed less.

@osaris,
So what is the super cap / memory cap doing under your thumb, other than power the  circuit!!
