Thank @goat !

@pirate
I do recommend to do the @goat's test, to use 2 9v batteries instead of the 12v ones. The reason is that the results are seen faster and more accurately.

That is why I use 1.5v to make the tests, you can see the results in seconds not hours.

Goat:

I appreciate your observations and suggestions.  You are 100% correct in your stating of what I am seeing here, exactly correct.  As far as volts go, I have seen no change on either battery while going through the getting up to speed adjustments.  I tried to do an amp test but when I put my meter in series with the charging battery it blew the fuse and the meter was set on the 10 amps (highest) setting.  I have not replaced my fuse yet (very hard to find around here) but when I do, I will try it on the power battery as you suggested.

Hey, No one has to worry about insulting me or being careful speaking to me when they are trying to help me on stuff I am learning about.  I appreciate the information and all of the help I have received from folks on here.  I have learned a lot by reading on the side but that does not compare to the real help I have received here on OU form guys like you and Jesus.  Thank you.

@ Jesus:

Yes, I have noticed that the larger the batteries, the longer it takes to see it any changes were good...or bad.  So I agree 100%.  This is a very small coil I am using and it is supposed to be very efficient. (I am using lidmotor's design)  I have not tried to see if it will run on 1.5 volts bats yet but I am going to try it just for the heck of it.  I know it runs on 9v as that is what I started out with.  Thank you too for your help and input.

Check out these links they may have just what you are looking for in the homemade diode setup.

Using Aluminum

Using Zinc. This is very close to what you are trying to do. 
He says to heat the zinc with a prop. Torch first to produce a coating of zinc oxide this is were you will get the diode effect.

I do admire the @lidmotor work!
I know that you will succeed because you are very persistent.

Thank you @abbarue !
I had seen them before on one search I did.
I revisited them again.
