Hi slayer007

Thanks for the post. Your circuit performance is fantastic. What transistors are you using?

Thanks Xee2

I'm using a 2n3906 and a 2n2222.

This is the basic set up I use to measure Joule thief input current and output voltage. You can not just hook the output up to a voltmeter because the voltage coming out of the pickup coil is pulsed and DVMs are made to work with steady input voltages. The diode and capacitor make a peak detector that allows the voltmeter to read the peak pulse voltage.

Slayer's got one wire SEC, but here is what Darvo did for wireless:

Quote from his comments: "Mike, I had a little play with chilliqueens circuit and added a trigger coil a bit different how xee had it and got it working like Dr stifflers SEC.I have also now added an ariel(just acroc lead connected to a pan) to the base of the npn transistor and the lights are brighter.It will light a neon continously using just a 1.5v battery but if i power it with a 1.5v battery powered mobile phone charger it works great and can light neons all over the place especially from the base of the npn to output pan and also from base/npn to reciever pans and battery connections. Here is a vid. Thanks for letting me know about this great circuit.Cheers jonny"

Darvo also explains at 1:45 time on the video; adding another trigger coil to the "receiver" (wireless end) pan.

I have already emailed Darvo, asking for drawing/schematic...

xee,
  Please help to figure out what Jonny is doing?  Thank you for all that you've done with the circuit.  Clarity may pull us all together, headed in one direction.

I'm most fond of Jonny's mod for wireless; and also Lidmotor/Kooler's "Lightning Maker" to study current magnification (Tesla claimed this as his  greatest invention).   Where are you going with all of this, if you dont mind my asking?
