Wire transistors in series?

[slayer007]

Thanks for your replies.
But I'm not really sure how to wire them parallel.
Could you please explane it a little more?

You connect both bases together, both collectors together and both emitters together.  And them wire them to the rest of the circuit just the same a you have in your beautiful picture.  Just like wiring caps or resistors in parallel.  Leo48s picture has a reverse biased diode in parallel with the coil.  He did this to prevent the back EMF (inductive kickback) from popping your 2N3055.  In that configuration the Back EMF is shorted back into the coil preventing the energy from hitting the transistor.

Also notice that in Leo48s circuit he has his coil on the collector side of the 2N3055, that should work better too....

Fun with electrons, they are just playful little buggers....

Great thanks alot I'll give that a try.

LOL Sorry about the crud picture.

This will not work this way.
the transistor is wired as an voltage follower (amplifying only the
base current (by 20 to 70 times).
This will not help . also if the base is connected to (+) via the reed swith) the transistor will not work
or aplify, because the fully current go from (-) to coil - to emitter to base to reed to (+) .
No (!!!) current will flow mor the collector way.

If you connect the LOAD (Coils) in the way : collector to (+) , you are in an better way...

Hey slayer 007
your problem is OK?
