Hehe also tried a single turn primary here :D was... interesting :)
So im going to optimize the step down transformer, and possibly incorporate Thane Heins's Bi-Toroid in the process.
Although there is already no difference in current draw from No-load to Full-load, it could still be much improved on

MEANT TO SAY 4.7 nF in series with the ferrite winding and Bifilar coil which ends up being 1083 uH total.
This is about the best tuning I've seen yet, with 120 volts DC across the load, next step to synchronize and attempt to feedback..
Although i may still use AC output so it is better accepted by the 120 VAC power supply unit for self-looping

thank you Dr Stiffler, you are truly a genius. and learned a lot from Lidmotor, and Jonny Davro inspired my plans to use SEC ~Magnified~ coming soon

Hi everyone, just comparing again the system vs the full wattage bulb, i show the control battery voltage as well to assure it is not unfair.
It appears that with 9 watts, the output is what i would consider full brightness standard of the 20 watt bulb, and turning it up to 11.25 watts was brighter that the full 20 watts demanded by the bulb at 12 volts 1.6 amps from the battery.
Then i show these beautiful caps that a friend lent to me, here a 15 volt bank of six 2.5v 2600F caps in series. i also have another 6 caps to play with too for future or 2nd project.
Soon to be demonstrated running the light, and charging the bank simultaneously.
I wonder if the caps are good enough for smoothing the output for battery charging, essentially, run the system and the light off the battery, and run the charging caps parallel to battery again, we'll see.

a little sneak peek at the revived Don Smith coils, added Resonator/ Load coil, and the easiest way to get the neon to pop on was to tune the secondary as it was running.
going to now change the driver to a SEC circuit, and raise the power levels

looking good, for some reason the operating current waveform thru the 1 ohm resistor has gone up from .442 A to .476 A , which can't be the correct DC current, but interesting all the same.
going to wait for this one to go out and then charge it up with the other 1.5v i have, next step would be to play with higher voltages and special oscillators with buffered outputs.
( Update 02/26/2014 this ran for 55 hours on the 1.2 rechargeable 2300mAh AA battery, last measured dead operating voltage 1.124V
(from 1.2V original) using 41 mA @ 1.2V (not 1.5)
consuming 0.049 Watt,
while obtaining above 6 volts loaded Output and what i would consider full brightness on the 2V 20mA series LEDs. Requiring 0.240 Watt, based on that, a Cohered Energy Coefficient (CEC termed by Dr R. Stiffler) of 487%
(0.240 / 0.0492 = 4.87) (1=100% 4.87 = 487%)
Energy obtained from the Tesla tower @ this voltage

hi all, doing some experimenting with what i said i was going to. a Dual Resonant setup, properly tuned together, i feel this was acheived here.
Clearly at least could use full length ferrite and a lot of cleaning up.
Most of the energy was from the one coil only as i showed when breaking the connection on right side and no dimming on the bulb :)
If no real gain then i'll use the stepdown coils only like vid33, but from the nice unexpected brightness in this testing LED, i am optimistic :)
