The above posted circuit is the most amazing circuit I have ever tested!

If you say that Alex, I must admit, it is indeed than. I know that you have done a gazillion of experiments. Do you still have that site of yours?

Fausto,

Hello, long time since we talked. No, my web site is reduced to just a few files. But I still have a backup of every circuit tests done.
This circuit from LaserSaber is very fun to tests. At higher wattage the circuit starts to pour out RF energy all over the band. I even
got a small RF burn on my finger touching the collector on the power transistor and the light did dim when I got the energy.

So to you all out there researching this circuit, be careful the circuit can bite at higher wattage. I have attached a frequency scan
when I ran the circuit on 3 Volt @ 0,5 Ampere. The frequency scan goes from 0 to 50MHz. My pick up antenna is very close to the
circuit so I'm not transmitting much RF around. The power transistor that I'm using can switch well up to approx. 4MHz. I can
see RF energy all the way up to above 50MHz.

One thing is for sure, if you want to light LED lamps from a battery then this circuit will do that fine.

Hi Bill . Man have you found out why your thread is now under another captain ? I for one believe think it is a mistake as you moderated perfectly fine in your thread . You deserve better . Just look at all the circuits you inspired . Stephan needs to fix it .

I still have no idea why.  I have not heard anything.  Thank you very much for posting this.  I really appreciate your words.

I hope you sell 1 million (or more) of your devices on Ebay and have to set up some large assembly lines to keep up with the demand.

Hi Bill,


I sent you a PM concerning moderation rights. I am confused myself why Stefan put me as the moderator here. I  asked him only moderation rights over two threads only the "Joule Ringer V4" (or something like that) and my Crystal Cell Research.


I have no intention of taking over for you. If you want it back, please, send an email to Stefan.
