Heres a little video I thought was neat.
Lighting a neon and LED wireless off the JT.

I believe that is just a problem youtube is having lately.  Their advice was to just recycle the page once or twice to reload the video and it will play.  It is just timing out.  This has happened to me about 50 times over the past few weeks.  the reload sort of fixes it.  This is listed under known problems under youtube's help area.  The videos are available just not loading correctly for some reason.

I just had an unusual experience with my jtc.  The thing turned on and then ran without the AFTER the resistor path to the base terminal had been removed.  see my old diagrams.

I was like wtf, so I removed the other jtc circuit i had sharing the same led but not having any actual electricity flowing through it, and the whole thing f*ckered up,  the only common connection was the LED being chared between the two.  I'll try and rep tomorrow.  I think that having to toroids ..with the led and transistor between the two may have some sort of resonance weirdness to it - the only person I can muse to ask here for advice would be...

IST!  because of all of the toroids he's playing with.

and @ALL,  i think we've all stumbled onto something here - i didn't think twice about this, but if there could be some sort of quad-action potentials between two torroids at the appropriate angles, then currents might flow in circular fashions.

Some things to note were that I had the thing prototyped on a solderless breadboard and i noticed that parallel lanes had picofarad capacitance between them.  just though I would make a note on that because the unused jtc on the breadboard were pinned off right next to the one being used but in reverse polarity.
