@stprue,

Thank you for posting your circuit information.

Are you using just a short wire at the base of the transistor with no
bias resistor at all?

Did I get this circuit drawing correct?

Groundloop.

[stprue]

Yes that looks right, the base goes to something metal and you control the ma's draw by moving the the piece of metal the base is hooked to closer or further away from the output of the trigger coil i.e. the top leg in the air.  You can find different setups that will enable you to not need to touch the output/base to start the circuit.  This circuit is a very simple dravo version.

Instead of coils use metal mass....like a bar of AL or in my case two rings of copper one for base out for output.

@stprue,

Thank you for the clarification. So the base needs only a little feedback
from the field of the trigger transformer to run. So if I put a very high
value resistor from base to the plus rail then the oscillation will start
every time by itself as long as there is a pick up antenna on the base.

Thanks,
Groundloop.

wonderful stuff guys! 5*
