I am impressed with myself too, really! I never done this kind of work before BUT hey I did a huge mistake that I found out today, I used the wrong paste for the soldering and it is very conductive which made ALL my transistor to be on the ON state all the time. I just found out while testing the remaining parts of the board trying to use the batteries again.

Oh boy what a mistake. Now I have to remove the chips and wash the whole thing with soap until all the paste is gone and hopefully make this work correctly. Lesson learned, plan, plan, plan and than plan some more. Make sure to get the ABSOLUTE correct tools for the job, no cutting corners.

And if I ever find overunity, no problem I will share right here with all!

Fausto.

Ok, I uploaded a vid on the 2 stage setup. I had a bit of reed problems and when the rotor is running it covers my voice a bit, but I think it shows what is going on. Ill do a cleaner vid tomorrow if necessary.

I am impressed with your method. But a word to the wise. You cannot run your
capacitors at any voltage above their working voltage even briefly, without potentially
damaging and punching through the dielectric insulation. There need be no margin
above the official WVDC working voltage direct current and so the margin has to
be below the WVDC number.

My experience in the PC board stuffing industry in silicon valley...100% removal of
soldering flux was an absolute requirement because as it ages it can cause corrosion.

Fortunately almost all componets on the board are sealed against water.
So guess what?...on the production line they wash and dried the production
boards in a standard dishwashing machine. The high temp water removes it
completely. Certain components are obviously not rated for water immersion,
dip switches, variable resistors, plastic encased relays, transformers etc,
so they leave those componets off the board and carefully solder them
in later. If you let the machine run through a cycle to clean itself first
you can do this too, using standard dishwasher crystal cleaner.

Thanks Mscoffman
One key ingredient is the diode on the drive circuit. I could reverse it and get 240v and store that in a cap, but it will be nill for any current capability. Lets say I put a 10k resistor across the cap, that 240v will end up about .5v, maybe. But having the diode in the direction I have it, Im still turning 2.5v into 25v in the cap, but the current handling is much greater. I can dump the 25v into a very low ohm coil with the second reed and get 270v, put a 10k resistor across it and get 25v and a 1k resistor and still have 5v across it. So it increases the current handling on the second stage very well and no load on the rotor drive.
I have since eliminated the bridge to a single diode like the drive circuit.
I need to get some higher current reeds and some high voltage diodes and caps to try a 3rd stage. It just may go a good bit over 1kv and maybe with some current handling.

Some may see the vid and say, why am I only getting 25v of bemf off of the drive coil when I could get 250v without the 2nd stage, but there is no current capability that way. Try it, it works. =]

Honestly I cant say no additional load on the rotor drive and bat. , there is a bit, But the 2nd stage coil Im running now is .9 ohm, a big audio filter coil. Im getting 270v on the secondary output. If I used it as a drive coil, my battery would be cooking.
Ill do a vid later with the big coil.
