@Jadaro,
Now your talking, do I hear another KEY here?

Has anyone tried a low frequency crystal oscillator on this circuit? ..and how would it's circuit diagram look?

I've thought about a crystal cored design, i'm just at a lack as how to use the crystal oscillator part; any suggestions?

I have a dual frequency generator I found in the dump some 6 months ago, I must put the lid on it and fire it up sometime, Jadaro you got me all fired up now ha ha.

@IST,
If you get 3 crystals, equi distant apart, all the same nodes pointing together towards the middle, then hang a 4th crystal up, but pointing downwards into the centerpoint, what happens, I don't know, does anything happen?

Is there a focusing of energy?

I ask as I heard about some chap who fried himself setting up a 30foot piramid, he hung a woolen thread from the apex, at the top he had a copper wire, several strands splayed out.

He had a copper coil in the middle of the pyramid with the end poking in the earth, when he touched the thread, he got belted so hard he went 30 feet away, now thats energy in my book.

@Xee2
Now do you mean I should put several caps in series or parallel, what values should I put there?
Remember its putting out 40volt, so the caps have to be able to soak it up without spillage.
I can see a few hours scrounging through all my caps coming up he he.

Thanks Xee2

Jim:

I have always thought that a very well tuned Bedini could run on caps alone....no batteries.  Now, I have never done this but, with the advent of supercaps, I believe this to be totally possible. Supercaps, I think, will store those spikes and make them readily available faster and more efficient than batteries will so one could take a cap and precharge it and then run the motor and charge the second cap and then use a auto switching device to run forever.

I have a lot of ideas and not that much knowledge and even less funds.

Off-topic:  I am now working on a motorized bicycle that will get over 150 miles per gallon and will go 35 mph.  I ordered my motor tonight and got the bike a few days ago.  I can use this in my legal document delivery service. (Process service)

@jeanna,

Substance which might be gutta.

What in the world is gutta,       pardon me if I ask, is this a drain, I'm not trying to be funny, but this is a word which has a totally different meaning to me.

In Ausie, the word gutta means a rain gutta, the roof guttering is leaking, in new guinea we called it a barret, and roofing iron was called coppa.

which is the reason I am so curious and, bye the way, so surprised that xee2 was able to light a fluorotube with 2T,19T,80T turns and the biggo. It only made thin little spikes and very occasionally. nothing really, and yet gave results. very curious, that.
It sure would be nice to have company in that.

Actually I'm not surprised that he could light a flouro with that my last unfinished one was 2T 10T 104T pushing over 700v andeasily light a flouro.  But the MK design can be used in ways that design can't.

I will start reading tesla stuff any advice on where to start...I think you may have given this info to me already.

@all

How can we transform our high voltage output from our JT into lowerpower at higher amperage???

@ stprue

Looks good. 306 volts DC out of rectifier should mean slightly over 400 volts peak going into rectifier. That may just be enough to light a tube. If you have a neon, can you check if both electrodes light when it is put across pickup coil output leads?

EDIT: Well maybe not over 400 volts peak going into rectifier. What is capacitance value of your 400 volt capacitor and is it across the rectifier outputs?

I will try a neon but the one I have is an indicator type neon so I won't be able to see if both leads are lit.  I tried a 7W flouro and it wont light up.
