@ist

have you made a JT with/on....
1 ferrite toroid
2 pickups
4 base coils
4 collector coils



What were your results? oh yah and I thinks its a rotational 2 phase shifter but I'm not sure

I have been having troubles with my charger. It does charge one day and then it does not charge the next day.

About the negative configuration of the same thing I need to give it a thought in order to change the whole configuration to the negative side.

Who knows, it maybe works better on the negative side.

OPpppsss 

It looks like I made my Jesus  charger  wrong

It  works  good though.




In the picture below    I have marked  the  transistor  connections

The  red  is  the collector .  ( the case of the 3055 )

The   black is the emiter

The  yellow is the base .......it goes  to a switch  at the  bottom of my  pot  then  through  the pot .

The  green line shows where I connect  a  cap  if I want  a tank .
If  I have  a cap at this location   and a   open  the  switch  on  the  pot  it  keeps  running   in what I would call  "charge mode "

The  battery is not shown  but it clips onto the same  points as the  Jesus charger .

no i never did ... 

but your thinks ...  sounds good to me ...   

can you build 1 ?   for everyone   bro ?

i like the copper as it is a pump of cold or returned or the GOOD STUFF...   that keeps getting kicked in the but ...  with a gate keeper and a few squeeze coils ...   plus it runs  on a aaa 

ist!

Don't you just LOVE IT when that happens?

So, if I understand this , you are connecting the charger which you made separately, in a way that is parallel to the battery?

Yes  I  connect it in parrallel
As I tried to explain  in my last post  I  connect  the  Jesus charger  and the battery to  the  same points ....sometimes I  clip   the battery to  one of the alligator  clips  of the  Jesus  charger .

I made it separate   so  I   could  use it on  differerent  boards   or connect it  in different ways .
It is  very easy  to see if it is helping ..... just  unhook it .
So far  everything  I have  tried has worked  better with it than without .
As  far as I can tell it converts part of the  JTs pulses  into feedback .

I have found it very handy to  connect  feedback  wires to  the cap on the Jesus  charger ......I connect  one  wire  from each  feedback coil to each side  of the  charger ........That way  I don;t  have  to add a bunch of extra  diodes .
