schematic please

would like to see more "pick up coils" until you've got OU in RF spectrum. Thanks for sharing, excellent vid and tutorial as always!

@Lidmotor It is interesting though, as I've found, with the bifilar Joule Thief, when you get just the right resistor in place, you can (seemingly) optimize between spike, and current and get nearly 70 or 80% of the light at 1/10th of the draw. I've been trying a LOT of different little torroids and bifilar bobbins, and I've found if you use a bit heavier of magnet wire, you can really play with the current draw :)

@TheProfJones ----The trick on a Slayer Exciter is the primary. Try reversing the leads. Also move the primary up and down the secondary for tuning. Your "iron rod" might be the problem also. That might have to be ferrite on your setup to work. I got mine at Radio Shack. It was a choke that I unwound and cut the wire off of. On this tiny exciter the primary is just two turns of plastic coated 16ga hookup wire. Try adding or subtracting turns there. Use a 1 M pot at base for tuning.

@Lidmotor Any hints on how to get it to light up the first time for a hobbyist? I tried your schematic, an air-core inductor with an iron rod, but would not light up... I've been building Joule Thief circuits successfully, and this is similar in some ways, but no luck yet... Can't "see the light."

@Lidmotor just posted one now actully :P it was quite long and perhaps to much but i hope my ideas help.

@Lidmotor Well, I'm just learning so I have no real valid opinion but it seems to me resistors when effectively eliminated reduce circuit waste heat. The Slayer Exciter circuit is very simple, and has been shown to offer good input vs. output. I think that there can be something said for "getting the job done with the spike", whilst working with a minumum required input voltage, too.

@jonnydavro ---Thanks Jonny. I just wonder how many people have built Slayer's circuit already. It is a great little circuit. This will light a small FL tube on 3v but not on 1.5v. I'll try the 4148 diode instead of the LED and see what happens.
Why not make your cement batterys with a mix of ferrite powder or graphite?? I seen your other video where you used beach sand, so maybe this would work better?

@coolesrat -----Thanks for the idea. We are trying many different ingredients with this cell. John Bedini's current effort is to create a semiconductor interface between the anode and cathode. You can follow the progress at the Energetic forum on the Bedini Earth Light thread.

I agree on the simplicity. This is exactly what The Magneticitist has been doing for quite some time.. cutting out resistors whenever and whereever possible both on exciter and charging circuits. Cool.

@KyleCarrington --Simplicity is good as long as it works. Sometimes you need All the little pieces or the thing won't do anything but just sit there and look simple. My feeling is that the fewer the parts the fewer the problems--- as long as the performance is there.
