   AG:
   I don't have any heating issues when using just 12v either, nor hardy any output. Much less able to self run.
But, my system is made for 24v.  And I tried to get it to run well on 12v battery, so that I can start it, when using my PS for the feed back loop. But, No cigar. It needs the 24v, and that's where the heating come into play.
  AG, you mentioned that you don't have a problem with overheating of your component. Can you show what your load and output is doing on 12v? As it seams that none of you guys have much in the way of output, with the exception of Geo. No wonder you have no heating issues, your systems aren't drawing any real power.

   T-1000: I understand your question. And I always test while using the Kacher on as well. Nothing special happens at 15% duty cycle on my device, only low light and output levels. I need to have 40 to 45% duty cycle, or the output is too weak.
   

Your right in a way i'm using 17.5 volts to the MOS FETs but drops down to 12v for the TL494 (I was thinking  of using a 7815 for better response but haven't, the cacher doesn't give much output at 17.5 volts ether as I have only 19m coil it needs running with about 50 volts, it will not self oscillate 19m is too short, I have to drive it with a CD4046 VFO C MOS driver and a NE555 to pulse it at the correct moment (fast C MOS type), the difficult part is tracking the divide by 8hz and locking its phase everything needs to be in resonance and spot-on to get any boost!

OK. That would make sense as to not need snubbers as shown on Stalker's schematic. From what you say, trying to tame the spike may be leading up the wrong path.

Now your talkin! you want as much 'vibration as you can get BUT you don't wan't it to cost you in power   you want it to appear when the FETs are OFF! In the off DEAD zone!

Well thats what mine is doing  or am I still living on the ceiling  (wasn't that a pop record in the 80s ?

Well, at leat in Geo case most of protective circuit parts are removed for him achieving effects shown on video. And he have to detune from series resonance for getting chaotic signals which can also be seen on scope. That direction is not guaranteed on about going right way but there are some truth about that.

No guarantee but intuitively it looks to be the right direction in my opinion given the ringing / chaotic waveforms we have seen on some claimed self-runners. However, could the influence of the Tesla coil field on the marked increase in apparent brightness of the bulbs (under optimum tuning) be partly due to the excitation of the bulbs internal gases, whilst being pre warmed by the induced AC current in the yoke winding? There is a tendency to treat the 'effect' as something unconventional / special, when in reality, it might have a more rational explanation related to the physical construction of incandescent bulbs.

   Which self runner has shown a chaotic waveform on a scope??? None that I know of.
   Most likely the chaotic wave form is due to the avalanche mode. Which destroys the fets if left running for a while.
   However, the RM mode is different, and can be seen working in the non avalanche mode, also. But, it's hard to have it actually doing something to the output. And hard to find it in the first place.

   What preheated gas in the incandescent bulbs? And this happens instantly at turn on?
What if there are no bulbs? There is still an output even without any preheated bulbs on.
Most of the time they turn the device on first, and afterward turn the bulbs on. Opposite of preheating the bulbs.

Fair point Nick as we can't be sure that any of the ringing / chaotic waveforms are from self-runners. 

To explain: The 'effect' is seen as the marked changes in bulb brightness when the Kacher is switched on after the bulb is pre-heated by the AC current from the push-pull. Is this the result of increased induced current in the yoke windings from the Kacher directly heating the filament, or are the bulbs gases also being excited to produce the changes in brightness, or a bit of both?? The bulbs filament is pre-heated even before visible light is seen.
