@MK1:

No, it is in original condition.  I tapped into the Edison base and then used the magnet and lead on the other end.  I took one apart a few days ago but managed to rip out one of the 4 wires going to the tubes.  That one was put together a little different than the others I took apart a while back.  How did you hook up the 4 wires coming from the tubes?  did you tie the two on the same side together?



I just attempted to make HHO with the Fuji circuit and a thin sliver of tungsten wire.  No dice.  It did not work with a small brush made from fine copper wire either.  I did however manage to get another jolt from the board!  I think that makes like 6 times now.

OK xee2 I made some pics here they are. I hope you can see.

There are 4 wire like the regular fluorescent tube, one on each side work i dose not mater witch one.Base on my knowledge of the working off the fluorescent tube which use a transformer to convert 120 to 1000 volts (for a 4*40 watt ballast). The same principal is applied to the Cfl the ballast is included and needed to ignite the gas at high voltage.I assumed some of it i may be a ass but it worked in this case. Also the cfl blub circuit is made to run from 120 volts ac so unless its supplied the internal circuit dose not work and even at 120 volt you could not use the ground since correct me if i am wrong, but when it connected it needs to be feed +120 and -120 at the same time to eliminate the magnetic effect on the wire. So i ass that you would need +120 and -120 to work. The best would be to mod the Cfl circuit to work from
different voltage since amp are almost not needed.


But you may have opened a new door with that magnet. I think magnets and coils are part of the future of electricity not as much the past
because it got robed. I think that if you can make electromagnets you should be able to do the opposite put a magnet in a coil as core and get electricity out of it, since the magnet in equilibrium we cant see its potential we need to make waves to see results .Well placed pulse may raise a storm.

This is a guess. Your board is different than mine so this may not be correct. Your photo does not have enough detail to see lines so I am not sure where they are. On my board the lines are next to positive battery clip. Is this a Fuji camera board? But it looks like they are near negative battery clip on your board. These lines are shorted out when the flash charge switch is closed on my board. If you can remember where the flash charge switch was on your board they should be under it. Sorry I can not be of more help. This board is so different than my board that it may not even have the little lines.
