Later today I will post a video showing that I did not make any errors in the build and will include all of my circuit paper work revisions.

My analog scope is not working or that would have been used.. I must say that a level & bias controls are most critical to get any MOSFET to oscillate, if my lab box hadn't processed those features, I would have not found this effect. I am not the only one who has seen this, watch one of the reply videos from Germany. I have built 5 of the modified "Lawton" circuits and the the current reduction in the power supply leg happens with all 5 different wound inductors. The damn fast diode is a must.

As you can see, the original drawing is very poor so when I built the circuit, I worked from new updated drawing based on a second much clearer diagram. Two things are possible, one is I found the mistake and corrected it or I made a mistake in wiring as that made the circuit work as she described. My video is clear enough so you can trace my circuit construction without a problem. Today I will do the same. The odd non flat top of the pulse may be due to the audio card or probe that I am using.

I've built the circuit several times, hardwired and on breadboards. Several other people have also built the circuit and have simulated it in Spice, for example. I am afraid that, based on these builds and my experience with the 555 and 556, that the conclusion is still that you have made an error. If you research 555 circuit design you will see that the component values given will not even theoretically approach a short ON duty cycle. And no "limiter" is needed if the circuit is working right.

The circuit is the same as in the Quantum paper. The duty cycle is short, not long. I have followed your work too, I don't understand why you have a long duty cycle, it seems that your waveform is inverted, just don't understand. I will add a limiter to make the pulse top flat , I want to test the circuit as is first. As in my modified "Lawton" circuit. the key is getting the Mosfet to oscillate as you can hear in my earlier videos. True people are not taking in account the steam in their tests.
hhoforvolts - you say you are trying to get the MOSFET to oscillate??? What do you mean? Are you talking about gate ringing, or are you saying you are trying to get it to switch at the resonant frequency of the RLC circuit?
If you are saying the latter, then this circuit is nothing special at all... It's just a basic timing circuit to sustain an oscillation between inductor and capacitor. Don't act like it's groundbreaking to all the ignorant people out there.

Its too early to say what is really happening except I and others have been able to to reduce the current draw from the power supply by better than a 2:1 ratio, in other words its a series circuit with cell current 8.0 of amps but the power supply draw is around 3.7 amps.The 1:1 transformer can't explain the current gain. So I should stay quiet right and not post my findings? If you watched my 2 videos on this, you would see and hear what going on at the resonance points. More work is needed.

STOP There is a problem. Yes I double checked my circuit, and NO there was no mistakes in wiring but there was a problem that changes the results, a mistake not on my part but an incorrect design of the sound circuit in my HP omputer's designed audio card section . It inverts the signal. What is positive is now negative. Wanting to find out why other people were having problems, I moved the circuit to three more clone computers with different cards. All showed its was 97% not 3% duty cycle......

...........I will leave the 2 videos up only to show how mistakes happen and the need to triple check everything. My thanks to TinselKoala for not backing down, standing his ground, forcing me to go the extra mile.
I will upload a thrid video about this issue.
