Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

Yes, the Rload in his circuit is his incand. bulb that is energized
every second once, when the cap is full via the 555  chip 1 Hz generator.

Hmm, Ben, do you also get at your AP LED a DC voltage, when you don?t have
a cap there ?

Normally I would have expected a pulsed DC, but I have a pure DC without a cap there,
just looked with the scope only directly at the LED...
Hmm..radio frequency circuits are really strange sometimes..

So a 555 with nothing on the threshold, discharge and trigger runs at 1hz?  News to me.  But I do not use them a lot.That part missing but standard pots and cap.  Short on time. (Inverted)

The the other side of the circuit is the osc. OK.   

It does not matter still as VCC and ground you can see the input current and Rload the output.  And no telling what that 555 will do floating like that.  Circuit imcomplete, look at photos, you will see what is missing.

This is a long way away from the first couple circuits, but still listening..  Just glad there is no function generator hooked to it.

At least now it is getting to a point where I can build one, after I see more components on the 555   Still like to see values on the schematic for L1/L2/L3 as well.  I have to antique radios (AM only before FM) that I do not need. 

And Stefan said it worked as well without the core.  This still the case? I have not pulled them out

Really! If you need help in making a 555 pulse 50% duty cycle, 2 R's and one capacitor. Please don't waste your time with my circuits, this is the simplest part of any of them.

In Dr Stifflers circuit above the Emitter seems to be shorted to the Base divider network. 
It looks like a Colpits oscillator so I guess it shoud be open at this point?
