The anomalous kicks

[EMdevices]

Hi everyone,

I obtained these unusual oscillations, a series of spikes of about 150 VOLTS.

There is no input sqare wave to triger it, it does it all by itself !!!!



Steven Mark talks about his output being mostly DC with hash,  the spikes I get, if put in a capacitor would produce DC and some hash.

I'm going for loop closure,  keep you're fingers crossed 

P.S.   

Diode Model # B4302H1, rated at 5V, package is confusing I'm seeing some specs for 12 Volts, 50 Volts, Hmm?   It says it has internal resistance.

Transistor is a Bipolar Junction Transistor, simular to NTE2301 but its a PNP not NPN.  I'm not sure what its actual part number is since I don't have the package.

If you could please expose 5 things: the back end of the battery and its connections, the hidden part of the scope cable, the scope connection, the top part of  the scope. There is a pathway out of sight of the viewer behind the battery, behind the scope, out the top of the picture.

Thank you, Giantkiller.

Hi GK, 
you know me better than that,  I'm surprised at your doubt. 

By the way, no amout of pictures will convince a skeptic. 
What if I stored a previous waveform on the scope?   you know it does have a HOLD button on it. 

Respectfully,

EM

P.S.  Ok, see nothing hidden, are you satisfied now?

wow, this thing has different modes of resonance. If I move my hand in its proximity it adds a little wiggle next to the big spike.

sometimes it does not start the oscillations and I have to WAIVE A MAGNET NEAR BY !!!

P.S.   This goes to show, there are things we discover by experimentation.  I had no idea I was going to see that.  I was trying to make an oscillator.  It's an oscillator allright, but very strange, very very strange.

Hi EM;
what is the circuit diagram ?

Just one Transistor or MOSFET and
2 coils  and a resistor and LED and CAP ?
