I really think that posting my work here only to be buried by someone like ist , sorry i use to have fun reading all your contribution , and the synergy we had to better this world.

Now i have been ignoring ist post for the last 6 month , i even stopped working on FE , i was just getting back , but this tread now is useless , most people don't come around anymore , Because IST is too advance for us ...

I work from my own will , now the will is gone .

I will not have my work stolen by this jerk anymore .

I was giving all my info for everyone , But now no one gets it .

Ist like the spot light . He can't get his own spot so he uses the jt tread , and really doesn't care about others , otherwise he would make a schematic , and not insult people by saying 1000 ways you have to learn.

I begin to seriously think , that he is lying to our face .

If i share 2 things can happen , it get buried or stolen .

Franky , we have this guy that knows everything (according to him self) but no one actually could replicate his work , because he doesn't care about others .

I have no intention of posting my work here ever again .

I would like to say i have made good friends around here i will be missing you guys.

Thanks You Jeanna , Bill , Jim , Xee , gadget , and i forget many others , but i thank you all !

I will find somewhere else to make my work known .

Hi everybody,
I just finished a drain test on the jtc with 42 leds and the little orange toroid I got from a 10w cfl base.
I made a 7 in series 6 in parallel string of leds 42 leds in all to test.

This is the first test.
The light draws 32.9mA which is good considering how many are in parallel and 42 leds all together.
My AAA NiMH drained in 7 hours which means the useful life of the battery is about half of the rated amount, which is what I have always suspected.
So, this lamp will last for 4, 5+ hour evenings on a AA rechargeable. I could try it on a used alkaline for a run test, to see how low the AA battery can be to still light the lamp.

Anyway that is what I have been up to (plus a photoshoot of my whole family of lamps for a slideshow.)

I am sorry, Mark.
You do really good work.
You were the one who told me how to remove the basic led and only use the secondary.
I have been wanting to see your results with this cardboard toroid. I think the world could use it, if it does work out.

wow and i have learned so much from you Mk. I just wish I had a way to show you the tube I have and was thinking of using.

Jeanna may i ask if your new way of winding coils works good even on small toroids. I am asking because I just can't seem to be able to go over 40 volts. even tho I have tried like 30 times with various toroids and sizes
