yes well another wild sun day and my kids are over ... 

: )

its even wilder than usual ...   considering i got my HELTH PAC half uncovered.. ; )

i used to think i needed large cores ...  but since they only sell them in the US and they want an arm a leg and an ear for 1 ... 

I TOLD THEM TO KEEP THERE GARBAGE ...

: )

TRY A 1" GOLD MINE ...  : )

ALI MADE YOU A COIL!    LMFAO! 

TAKE AS MANY GM CORES AS YOU LIKE ...  WRAP A WIRE ROUND THEM ...

DONE DEAL ..

IST!

you then use my jt board to charge the 8 caps that will self fire to the high volt  primary  rappid fire ...

8 caps dumped 1 primary ....

: )

silly humans! 

maybe 1 day they get it ...

YEA I KICK MY FEET UP AND LAUGH AT GADGET !   AS HE SAYS I NEED TO USE MY W CORE ....

no  i do not !    lol 

what is the result if i have 1 wire 1 turn  around 30 cores ...  each core has a secondary on it ...  and input voltage ..  some where around 100vdc to 400vdc ...

yea i thought so ..........

: )

come on humans ....  tell me it aint my work ... 


: )

that is why it exisits in my mind ..  NOT YOURS ...  RIGHT ?~

I tried your basic circuit and it works great. The LED on the phone charger looks bright so this is probably sucking power, but the tube is bright.

EDIT: terminal strip = Radio Shack #274-680 12-position mini European style (cut off)

Have I been missing something with these circuits?  Does that tube really light with just one wire and you don't have to be touching it?  If it does, try a bigger tube and I'll bet it lights even brighter on the same power.
