Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

OK thanks Loki, I suppose Al.Foil will make a good cap then. I'll just use a small nut, bolt and washer to connect the wire to the foileld card.

Edit: I'll make the foiled card to the exact size of your video Dr.S. I'll probably end up using thin plastic, like on a margarine tub.

@Yucca,
Doc has told us not to use metal screws and standoffs but since it is going to be part of the plate you might be alright.  Better though, If you have it, or get some, use the copper tape, a small piece, stuck right over your aluminum foil and then solder your wire right to that. It works just fine and I forgot all about that little trick.  Thanks Doc.

@Dr. Stiffler,
Yes I figured that the C value would change depending on the circuit but I just wanted to emphasize the point of parasitic capacitance. No, I don't consider this to be a conventional feedback network in any traditional EE sense at all. I will enjoy exploring this surface but later, after the heat unless you have more which I'm sure you will. Actually I already started some. The senior EE's say it is exactly that. I tell them since they know so much to solve the circuit then. I still haven't seen any models of the AV plug from them either. Not that I can model it.  Yet.  I haven't had a takers to date. 

**I'm going to test a copper clad board cut to size also.
**I will never open another of your attachments, I am not 100% sure you are reading my computer files 

I would not and Did not.  LOL

Single and double clad copper I have including single a double sided tin shielding. Later! Much Later! There is much to do, and get right, already.

Best regards,

@All
Well it will be Monday before I have the video up on YT on my calorimeter, the damn thing ended up being 180Mbytes so I'm going to have to re-edit and cut it in half and make two parts.

Anyway it is done and will get up there, but its Sunday and time to hop on the riding lawn mower at home and cut some grass.

The stainless steel vessel and $2.00 yardsale vase. Flowers in it! Huh? In any case the calorimeter is coming together. More soon.

Best regards,

Jim

Well finally after a bunch of blown transistors and I have finally come up with results that burn the fingers without blown-up my transistor. 

First pic is the waveform.The probe is after the variable choke and the ground is hooked to the negative.  This form seems to give me the greatest results so far.

Second is the of the Voltage and Transistor Temp ...
15.3 Volts 0.04 Amps
31 C / 89 F

Third is of 22uH Choke
74F

Fourth is of the Neon
145F

At the last is the Board Layout - I have seperated the power input off the board.  The large pin board that I was using seemed to have to much capicitance and I was getting termal runaway on the transistor when the neon was at its brightest.  At least this is my take on it.  I am sure the Dr, has a better explanation then what I can offer up at this time.
