I am saying that the way the pick up coil on the mk up and down doesn't make the LED light both ways , but the jt coil at 180 do.

Oh, do you mean the one with the cross to the other side?

second , since you got room for more coil i thought you could try going back to the regular mk since now you got a mix of two design , or put a second jt(full circuit) on the other side.

I am sorry, I still do not understand.
1-going back to the regular mk. I remember 3 kinds of basic jt coils from you... and I remember the first has the 13 which would be up 7 back 6 and the 3 would be up 2 back 1. Is that the regular one?
---
2-What is a second jt full circuit? I won't guess, please just explain what this is again. I apologize.

thank you,

@xee,
I just fixed the 47uF caps and they now should be giving me 100uF at 50 volts.
The sequence for turning the light on is the same. No problem or magic, I just need to wrap my hands around the ends of the tube until it feels about hand temperature, then add the neo mag to one end, then draw the light across. I can then let go and remove the magnet.

It is not 104 in the car here. It was about 65 degrees today. I am assuming the temperature (and about 80 turns  ) is the only thing slowing this down.
Oh, it seems a bit brighter than earlier.

Does this seem right to you that it should be brighter?

thanks,

jeanna

Great cartoon!!!  I love it!

We have had even more severe thunderstorms today....no tornadoes.  More storms due in tomorrow.  Every time there is one in the area, I have to shut down my computer!!!  The good news is that maybe all that lightning is charging up my earth battery to new levels.

When the storms began last week, I disconnected my ultracap.  I was concerned that a near lightning strike may over juice it and it might blow up!  This is getting crazy.
