Self Running Micro TPU, with closed loop.

I think you are looking at the wrong coil. That coil is from another older experiment. For this pictures that I posted I use the coil on this new picture below.
Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk5VB2g5vOk

Thank you.  My bad.  I must have blinked when you showed the coil from 01:05 to 01:07 in the video.  That was two seconds of my life that I will never get back.

@EM
You said on the Faux Pas thread that the circuit was not over unity.

What is the design goal of the circuit?

You can make the design goal whatever you want.   Mine was Over Unity.   LOL

On the Faux Pas thread, I had asked if any of you could come to this thread to explain step by step what is happening in the circuit. I did not make reference to OU as per say although you already know the intention of most threads on this site. No, this is not OU, until it is, so we know this obviously. We also know that is should not or cannot lead to OU, but when did that ever stop us? lol

EM has explained how the circuit works but there are still questions such as.

1) How come the LED is placed backwards on the circuit and it still lights. Even though the LED could get a positive from the other side, the negative side of the LED is still and always on the positive side of the large cap.
2) What is happening in the coils themselves.
3) When is the trigger excited.
4) Is the trigger supplying the voltage to the transistor base that is then supplying the voltage to the emitter to light the LED, but this does not change the fact that the positive side of the circuit is still on the negative side of the LED, and the collector is connected to the negative side also.

What I was hoping to have is a complete forensic type analysis (but understandable in layman terms) of the circuit workings, point by point, condition by condition, so we can then take it from there and really understand this circuit, however simple it may seem, it looks like it is doing something else, like it is switching polarities at one point and switching back.

Did you ever measure the ohms of your best toroid coil? Maybe this can be recreated to the ohms values you have regardless of the wire types.
