I have been playing with this on and off for over a week now.
Here's a summary of my final 6 tests with the 2N2222A transistor, which in previous tests performed better than the 3904.

2N2222A's do better at higher currents than 2N3904A's.

Ah... but the device as demonstrated by Akula does not run down _at all_ , it is self-running, according to the claims of Akula/Ruslan/Stivep. The main "replication" that I made of one of Akula's circuits produces identical waveforms to his on the scope, yet runs down immediately when its supply power is disconnected, or in a few seconds using a larger capacitor. Akula's just keeps on running. This is why I think it has concealed batteries inside one of the capacitor cans, which would make it perform just as he shows, waveforms and all.

I saw your comment on OU's most recent YouTube video and want to show you definitive proof that there is such thing as a free energy
device. It's in line with one of Eric Dollard's off-hand suggestions on how to get free energy. These are just Russian Kids from a couple
years ago that have definitively PROVEN the idea, so... I'll hear no more of your pessimistic views on the possibility of free energy, eh!

Heh.... Well, one thing is for certain... that's as close as Eric Dollars...er, Dollard will ever get to "free energy". In his case "free energy" means energy that someone else is paying for...  and from what I've heard, it comes in the form of a fine white powder.

That's not hearsay... there's a video out there with that coming from his own lips. I still love his lectures though. He is a powerhouse of good
information. Anyway.... I thought that might wake you up. Good morning from VA! -t

PS - I have a new circuit that has a capacitor and a battery. Should I hide another battery under the capacitor and claim free energy? - teo

Hey TK! Sounds like fun! If you like, I will mail you everything you need to replicate the 3F version of this circuit, including the hand wound
coil in the picture, which I used for my testing. If you use that coil, there will be no confusion, plus you can unwind it and reuse the wire
later... it's yours... don't forget to check for batteries! lol

I am not claiming any overunity here. This was just a learning tool for me. It does light an LED for over 2 hours with a 5 second charge from four 1.2 V NiMh batteries. I would send you some 20F's, which last about 14 hours on a 2 Volt charge, but I am using all of mine at the
moment. It usually took a bit over 10 seconds to get the 20F's to charge to 2 volts. - teo

PS - is that an ugly coil or what! Let the fun begin!
PSS - I watched your video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQi4jz2puio - it looks like my work in this circuit is like I thought - no
big deal. It looks like your circuit would run an hour or 2 with just one cap.
