New Jewel Thief "Resonate LCR Circuit" Much less energy draw....

[jeanna]

This is lidmotor's version with the 2 pans. I believe this is the one jonny refers to.
I will also post the address for jonny's circuit, although I believe it is more complicated than this.

Hopefully someone can post a drawing

This is a drawing I made from his video but I am not sure it is correct. The circuit he described to jeanna seems more like Lidmotor's circuit.

I put jonnydavro's pm to me in the blue quotes.
My suggestion is to copy and past it onto a document on your computer.
He told me the lidmotor drawing was the one to use.

I am only mentioning this because many times I see the blue quotes box and skim over it.
I put it there so nobody would think it was my idea, but it does kind of hide it.

BUT maybe I am on the wrong thread.
I wanted jonny's sec with pans that lid copied.
This thread seems to be about chilliqueen's 2 transistor circuit.
(my personal limit is 1 transistor and 1 battery, so I'm outta here.)
Sorry to bud in!

cheers!

Here is lidmotor's video for ease and reference

Jeanna,

   You are correct, xee2 appears to have missed our posting of Darvo emails; though I don't think Lid was using the second receiver trigger coil.  He was hiking the input voltage to 12v instead, if I recall correctly. I also recall him mentioning "600 volts".  I don't have a 1000pf cap, am using the flash camera cap (1000uf) and measuring 300volts (still climbing).
   Thanks for your input, and please stay with this thread.

Regards,
Mike

My last attempt to charge the big battery failed.
So now I'm taking a different approach and it seems to be working very well.

The transformer is going to some AL tape around one of the batterys.
That battery also has a diode on each post facing backwards.
Then running over to the other 12v battery.
There is also a piece of AL foil around the AA batterys with an AV plug running back up to the batteries.

It's only been running for close to a half hour but both batteries are charging from just two AA batteries.

Here is the video.
