Thanx IS, you need to think before you post some things.

Some of the people here do follow what you are doing even though you might think that they don't.
I am just bothered that some of the people that have just started or have a limited knowledge in electronics might get the wrong idea.
But keep on doing your thing. I don't know anyone else who has built sooooooo much.
Good or bad results, I think most people are learning something.

As a general rule there is a lot of inspiration and ideas here which I sincerely appreciate and I'm diligently trying different JT coil winds and circuits. 

I'm trying to learn to fish.

Unfortunately the teachers are in the back of the boat squabbling over the bait and tackle, while I'm trying to learn different methods on how to tie the hook.

gents -- please take the bickering off line, can we resume the JT adventure, my fish sonar is showing some big ones up ahead on starboard.  We are all grateful for the lessons.

@all

There are good videos done, there are good circuits shown and there is a good disposition to learn.
Please argue outside of this topic.

     Hi theres lots of hho threads but i dont see one for Jule thief everything is current and amps no resonate or fugi . Could you please Figure out where we should start this Thread and Name it Please ?

@All
     Here are a few of My colored toroids. I know there had to be a table somewhere . thank you Mk1 !
those little high voltage boards i got from goldmine DO work at 1 volt . I saw several hundred pages ago where some one bought the same module and could not get it to run off 1.5 mine work great . they are 5 volt modules cheap and speaking of BIG fish have a look !!
.. That big toroid came from a monster bunch of wire wrapped around it . It took days to unwind it .. Look at the Little Bitty one on the Dime    I need more wire so as soon as that Beautiful SNOW stops i Might go to my Local Military Scrap yard and grab some formers and break em apart ...
