@SkyWatcher123,

"Edit: oops, didnt think that through, of course the magnet will attract and repel at center, because they are the same pole.
Anyway, will be testing this".

You should have two "Bucking South Poles" at the center. What would happen to the input if you dead shorted the secondary leads?

Fascinating results! The capacitor delivers the largest input drop. What would happen if you increased capacitance value?

@SkyWatcher123,

Could you run a few simple core resistivity tests for me? Just set your DMM to the Oh's reading scale and see if it will register a reading form the ferrite core at rest. Then take a few more readings after the oscillation begins, then again after some run time has elapsed. Thanks!

Hi synchro, not sure if results are amazing, they do seem different.
When secondary coils output is shorted, amp draw increases to .9 amps.
Checked from end to end of ferrite bead core with dmm up to highest 20 megaohm resistance setting and no readings show at all.
While pulsing, no readings show and after giving a rest, still no readings.
Will be trying higher capacity capacitor later and see what that does.

That Ohms test may indicate that the "Bucking Fields" have cancelled out. Can you attach a few magnets to the core and see if that makes a difference? The ferrite may have too low a permeability rating to get a reading from.

Hi synchro, i placed a neo magnet at each end in same and opposite polarity and still no ohm reading.
I'm thinking about winding another bifilar over the other half in opposite winding direction.
It will then be bucking against the other bifilar when oscillating, though it might be worth seeing what happens.
Here is the schematic as it is now.
