After some of my playing with!  and....well... you wont know if you dont try!

I got a idea last night , what if we used a led chaser circuit to pulse the jt coil , first the over all energy sent in the coil will be far greater then what we used today on the jt coil , second it will be easier to test other coil configuration , also they are set to chase them self making it easier to have a real rotating field , the speed can be adjusted like on the regular jt , the pulse is a square wave this will make a stronger kick , so we should get a better output .

Ok it work on 3 v with 10 led, and its rated for 8 month of work on AA , and 4.9 years on D, humm , if we get half of the half of that it still would be great ...

I will make some tries today , i got one bike led light from rama , with chasing mode 3 led so i will try 3 pulses per cycle , on the down side i can't control the speed but there is two preset slow and fast , but not ultra fast .

i wish i could modify this circuit but there are no parts , 6 led and a switch the rest is in a small whit dot ...

Also great for tpu type stuff ...

im all over that bro ...  i got the solar half done ...  lol  and just wound this unit ..  it has 6 freqs but really are only 2 but in 3 phase ... 



i still want to add more to the coil but i wanted to show it b4 it gets TOO WILD  and  NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DUPLICATE IT

It sound like this could be accomplished with a 555 but I'm not sure what a led chaser is exactly...it sounds like it could be a lot of different things!  Do you have a link or something?
