You do know that my pickup coil is not connected to the circuit in any way , and i can light a 120vac neon bulb with it. page 125.

Thanks for the info.

Don't worry if you think you came down a bit hard, no offence taken.
We all are breaking the usual thinking of the way electricity is, I personally think
there are various types of electricity.
One being "hot", it creates heat when taped to it, like the stuff the world makes right now.
Then there is the "cold" stuff, the one that produces a cold reaction when used.
I have read reports the electric motor had frost on it, the harder  it worked the colder it got.

Yep there could be even other types of electricity that have yet to be discovered.



@all
Using a bulb should work ok, but use a "grain of wheat bulb" first.
Find a tinyest bulb you can find, lowest current and voltage.
When you blow the filament, then you are tuning the JT in the right direction.
Then move up to parallel and series connected tiny bulbs.

Eventually we will get there.

I saw a MOSFET in a circuit (above), nice one.

Start making several JTs (identical) put the outputs in parallel, this gives more grunt - current out
Then we will start making big progress.

MK1 if that is true then it is something i would certainly like to experiment with, i did see that experiment but there was no schematic or drawing that i could see, can you post the connections as i did above so i can view it? thanks!

@All . well al be darn theres a Upload and download now    or was that there before . if it was i am going blind !

Thanks Stephan !!

It is just a regular jt but the coil are limited to 7 turns (on some toroid 4 is enough)and the rest of the toroid is covered with 2 additional coil of 26 turns , They both give me 67 volts .

All of this has been covered in the tread. check some pages before the p 125.

Edit :Now ,you can see! welcome to the tread mate.
