I am curious, why do you want to use ic's to build a driver oscillator?

Im not against it entirely because it may become a required component but I dont think the original idea required it to function as it was intended to operate simple resistive and inductive loads according to time period. Inductive loads are indicated in both types which I believe was the timing device in the form of a free wheeling motor placed on the output side. Because in a state of self acting a balance would have to exist between the oscillation of the load/s and the original source of power used to start it in order for it work as a self runner. In operation if the load circuit being the induced had a quantity of  current circling were viewed as one half and the source plus the inducers were viewed as the other half. If the two were equal then adding more into the magnetic field of the inducers would not be needed. A difference in potential would hopefully not exist or be so so small that it would be practically zero. The only part I can see which has a way to be minipulated  is the magnetic filed. One of the ways to make a stronger magnet is to provide more turns of wire without increasing current. A stronger field will provide greater induced current on the output. So a up close Nat's ass view of everything going on in time on the load circuit is next because unless you can find exactly when and where to connect magnetically or electrically a step up function to retard the voltage potential so there is no difference between load and source even at the fraction of a second the current switches from + to - in the cycle.
   Let the arguments begin!
A snapshot of time. One load, two wires, an alternating current. Are we going to use high and low voltage potentials or pressure and vaccume ,ying and yang ,black and white whats the flavor of the day everyone can agree on to describe the activity?
   Regardless of your designation for it, there has to be a greater and lesser in order for the "it" to flow from one place to another. There has to be an accounting for the distance the volume the resistance to the movement/flow when applicable.
   Another argument I would like introduce is friction. Friction is a form of resistance which restrict the movement or flow of something. What is it that is being consumed when movement or flow is restricted? Is a restriction invincible ?
   In a snap shot voltage is at a higher potential on one wire and lower on the other with a restriction in between. The restriction can be in the form of a poor conductive element or a long section of wire condensed into a small space to accumulate a strong magnetic effect in that small space ie a magnet. Agree or disagree so far?

Hi Doug,

Hanon was looking for signals which did not change polarity between +positive and -negative,  and were out of phase. The links I gave above could possibly give him the signals he was looking for.
That is why I listed them, if that is alright with you?

No way Bob, they are in search of something sacred.
Something we mere mortals can not understand. 
Mr. Figuera said (it's so simple that even a child can build). 
I say (people with preconceived ideas fail to understand or build). 

It's all a joke on people, do not take it seriously ok, remember that we are all in the same direction, maybe different ways, but the direction is the same. 

Happy new year to all!

Thank you Schiko,

We all have to have a little fun every now and then, lol.

The first thing I said I was not entirely against it using a modern sound generator to make the signal.
  Am I looking for something secred ? ,no I wouldnt say that. Im sure some person will be able twist it that way to discredit any functioning method or design. Much like the buzz word "conspiracy" has effected investigative reporting. Anything can be discredited by those practiced in the art of.
