@ Electricme

Wow.....   Thanks a ton load for the warm welcome and tips etc ...  and yes, just the mi neut amount that I know about the JT already proves extremely interesting and "text book impossible". About a few months ago, my Dad introduced me to the Tesla and Bedini side of things (amazing things out there) and oh I wish we could learn these things at school. In fact, for this science project I am doing, I was previously going to do the Bedini Motor - radiant energy and all that and it blows my mind (amazing to think that we still use the same type of electricty that we did 100 years ago ). I changed my mind though because in the science competition that I was going to enter into with this project, there had already been Bedini Motors so I decide to do something defferent... the JT.

So thank you again and I am now really really excited to get into the swing of things and get going...

And also @All, thanks for those of you who have also welcomed me and already given me tips, plans etc etc already (MK1, Altrez, TheNOP, Koen - Thanks)

Right... Time to get cracking with the JT .....

@ Electricme

Thank you so very much for the post. I am at work right now and plan to build my 4th JT tonight with all the great Ideas on this forum I tend to read more then work!

I noticed that Nathan Stubblefield's name gets mentioned quite allot around the forum I live in Kentucky just about 1 hour away from where he lived. Perhaps there is just something about us Kentucky boys and free energy!!!

GO WILDCATS!!

@Mk1

I am building the JT with the 1 wire output. Thank you for all the help. I will let you know when I get it working

@ScienceMan

You are welcome.

Take care!!!!!

@ altrez:

Hey, I am in Bowling Green.  I didn't know if you knew that or not.

@ Jim:

Great and very helpful posts you have been making.  Thank you for doing so.  Now, about those mice..... ha ha.

If the core material is electrically conductive, like pure iron for example, then yes.
But if you're using quite nonconductive ferrite cores, then there shouldn't be
any Eddies. Obviously.

if it is "quite nonconductive" then there will be less magnetic coppling at lower frequencies.

cores material must be choosed base on the frequency you intend to work with.
no matter the core's material, it will have eddy currents in it, even plastic, given a high enough frequency.

          Hey Guys . I'm Still Breathing but a bit weak and just have not been very well or felt like Jt'ing but i'm getting better . I hope you guys don't get this . its turned into  Viral Namonia and it's hell cough.

But i just got finished with supper for me and the little one and was thinking of you guys and what was going on .Thank you all for Think of me , that was real nice .  Well i did play a little and i took My Modified Stickit light that runs for a week on an aaa battery and put and extra secondary on there and laid a spare aaa in there charging its little heart out while you have light that way you always have a hot battery to swap !! I like it and its going into a kit ..  Eternity Stick it Gadget with Builtin Charger ! nice and Bright .. .
