I have found a way to have light mode and charge mode at the same time !

I posted it in my last post Dummy toroid!

the 1 farad kind should be enough for testing and do not cost a leg.

1 Farad Wont do what he want to do . I have  several 10 farads and they wont run a jt a day . Now if 1 farad is 1 amp then 650 farad is 650 amps . This is why it burns a stranded lamp cord in half instantaneously . You cant get 650 amps in a 2 inch diameter package no where for 55 dollars and youy sure cant buy a leg that cheap    I know these Super caps will run a jt for weeks and best of all it can be used for the Earth battery for real amp harvesting  rather than a tiny 1 farad cap that wont last a few hours .

Quick question how log does it take to charge one of those monsters I might buy one payday! Will it charge from a JT? have you tried charging it from 1 aa?

@all

The Dummy toroid is so good i had to make a drawing !

I can put a heavy load on the dummy pickup coil without losing the high voltage on the regular secondary or changing the freq !

So one could light a neon or cfl while charging ! the circuit dose not consume more energy !

Edit altrez can you light one led and on neon at the same time ?
