I just want to show you all that it really IS possible to get a real amount of light from a jtc light.
I have 2 pictures of the same lamp with the same UNmodified LoA light bulb. They are very close in brightness. The transistor I used was a TIP31c and the whole circuit is in the box, as you can clearly see it being lit by the light itself. I have turned off all other lamps and closed the door.
So, here are the pics. The captions kind of id them.
1-from the jtc

3-The LoA plugged in to the wall

I found some 3v rechargeable lithium AA's at wallmart yesterday.
Since this is 2 NiMH AAA totalling 2.4v, I am sure that lithium rechargeable will be AS bright as the wall, since this is sooo close.

Jeanna:

Excellent comparison!  We need more of this type of thing.

I believe you said the LOA bulbs are available at Walmart?  I have not seen those at mine but, maybe I need to look for them.

Very well done.

***EDIT***  Actually, when I looked at your photos again I think the JT has the slight edge on brightness over the wall plug.  Great job!

Thanks Bill.
I just added another shot because I actually can use the other plug to light another unmodified  LoA lamp from this same circuit.
The bulb is very yellow - warm they call it, and it does take some of the brightness from the first one, but I think this shows a lot of things, both about the jtc with secondary and the way the parallel circuits work together... you know tesla's idea.

Obviously, were I to use this in this way in an off the grid livingroom, I would have 2 matched lamps on either side of the table with similar color bulbs. And it would look great.

thanks,

Jeanna:

Running both lamps from the JT!  Seriously, you are an inspiration to all of us here to show what can be done.  I am just so glad that all of us did not know enough to know this could not be done or none of us would have tried any of this.

I drink a toast you and your lights out there.  Long may they glow.

i did mention i built a dial a cortex machine .... well  i stuck ma head  in the vortex  by accident ...

came out with this southern accent i can loose it ...

so

ENJOY MY NEXT VIDEO! 

AND IM NOT MAKEING FUN OF ANYONE ...   but that damm cortex thing did it to me ... 

RE is A REAL NUT! 

lol


ist!

OK  i have achieved 3 freq from 1 coil 1 aa and 1 reed switch! 

its a pulse motor then i DUBBLE BANG IT  THEN I WOBBLE IT ...  THEN I LOCK THE FREQ!

RE GARDS!

IST PULSE MOTOR PART #2

in this video i demo HOW TO WOBBLE TUNE A PULSE MOTOR WITH 3 FREQ...  LOL : ) 1 REED SWITCH! THAT MEANS NO TRANSISTOR!   DID TESLA USE JUNK ... YOU BET HE DID!

TELL ME AGIN HOW IT AINT MY WORK!!!! 

LOVE PROVEING PEOPLE WRONG!
