Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

@Amigo
What??
**So it sounds as I am on the right track because nothing gets hot.
What did I say wrong? Maybe it was that Booths last night.
NO! we want Heat, but only in certain places, the Neon and the 22uH choke. Want the 10uH and the xistor to say (Cool).

If I don't come across right I am sorry, maybe the old mind still moves faster than the fingers.

I'm sorry Doc, it's probably me - not having a great day here.

My GBC laminator that I use for PCBs broke (motor failed) and I was in the middle of making a LC meter so now I'm pretty pissed off because I hoped to have it all assembled and programmed to use for the SEC coils.

@amigo
Sorry to hear you are having trouble -- keep at it!

@all
Great photographs and comments!

Thanks Feynman,

Good news is that a failed laminator can't stop me from making a PCB. I did it the old fashion way with the iron, just had to make a mental note never to buy cheap-ass Staples brand toners for my laser printer. Next time I'll just pay those extra $20 and get a genuine HP toner, bah.

So I made the LC meter and it worked right away, just that calibration appears to be tricky and I definitely need to enclose it into a box. I was hoping I could just use it right away and check my SEC coils...hum bug, till tomorrow then.

Hi Doc,
so the transistor gets 1 degree Celsius colder than the environment ?
Very interesting.
May be your SEC  converts environment heat into electricity ?

Hi Doc,
it would be nice if you could get closer to proove Harti's thought.
In order to do this, it might make sense to mount the transistor on a "heat sink". But not to transport heat away, but to provide the transistor with a heat conducting environment which supplies/replaces the converted heat.
Maybe you even want to supply additional heat to this "heat sink" so that the transistor has a good heat supply to work from.

Not sure if this "heat sink" should be from metal as this might ruin your "capacitance network".
Could maybe try some non-metallic heat conductor like stone/granite !?

Or just place the transistor close to the neon, so that it gets heated up by the neon's heat.

Sorry if this does not make sense. Just dreaming.

@All
I have much better heat this morning. I managed to get the neon up to 96F, the 22uH choke 92F, while the transistor ran around 82F and my homemade 10uH choke running at 80F. 

Another quick check shows the neon at 97.5F, 22uh at 90F, the transistor at 82F and the 10uH at 80F.

It's beginning to look alot like a heater. The 22uH and the Neon are quite warm to the touch while the transistor and 10Uh feel cool.

More to follow for sure but I have go to work, DAMN IT!

Best regards,

Jim

Hot Damn 98.5F and climbing on the neon..........I'm going be late work!
