AC from Joule Thief Secondary/pick-up

[Pirate88179]

@ Jeanna:

I just thought I would pop in over here to see what is going on.  Very nice work!  I am all about ac and, I have now learned (thank to the scope) that even the pulsed dc I have been working with has ac components to it.

I look forward to seeing what happens.

@all

Here is @jeannas idea of 2 tiers schematic.
I hope it may benefit someone.

the off times of a spark gap are fast....



if you try the neo zap tap from the magnets ...

i have lit bulbs as showen on youtube ..  i just never posted the videos ...  pretty sure you can light many more than 1 60 w bulb ... 

o right ac and spark gaps

well if you had 2 mots .... pos and neg ... and a relay   we can have some fun ...  it likes to run slow ..

and if you used the relay insted of the secondary you can force the magic kick out the secondary of the mot ...  to your load

but 1 wire hook up should be used ...  meaning powering the relay then the mot primary ..

or some heavy duty blocking diodes so it wont feed back to the relay and burn it out ...

agin too many thousand ways ...   

ist

i guess it all depends on its use ...

I am wondering if this joule thief output can be used in a way that keeps the frequency that has been established by the primary, yet gets run through another inductor or a tank circuit. This will keep the oscillations going, and offer a mechanism to control them while redirecting the energy to a particular appliance for use.
I doctored a pic a little just for illustration.

Here it is.

how bout 2 neon bulbs or a burnt out tractor work light ... 

as vacume spark gaps ...

ist!

get it fast enough you got ark lighting .....
