Plant Battery inverter circuit.ASF

This is a two transistor inverter circuit for 'Phyllis' my plant battery. The circuit uses a small high voltage inverter transformer to raise the plant battery voltage high enough to light two LEDs. I also show how a small solar cell can be added to increase the supply power.

Solar Cell hidden behind pland can see in video a :32sec, BS

@clint3142 ------I explained about the solar cell in the video if you listen. The plant battery has actually worked out quite well and is still powering my "Mosquito Light" . I use it as a watering indicator for the plant. When the Leds get dim then it is time to water the plant. I was very surprised at the success of this experiment. The plant didn't die nor did the metals completely dissolve right away. I may do a video on it.

Is there a way to increase the Amps? Great video once again.

@tyrodogg ---Add more plant batteries in parallel OR---increase the surface area of the electrodes.

@Lidmotor the 2n3904 you have in the circiut is an npn not a pnp and the mpsa06 is allso an npn you have errors in your schematic

[Lidmotor]

@stevenchiverton ----The PNP is a 2N3906. It is a circuit diagram label error. There is a annotation for the error in the video but thanks for bringing that up.

nice clip .. i like it .. thanks for sharing

the matrix, but then only for plants mwahahahaha

Lid, maybe you now have a Bionic plant of some sort. Glad to see it is still ok. Really interesting.

@CosmicGnarler -----This crazy plant is growing like a weed. Maybe it is some kind of weed?? The "battery" part of it's world doesn't bother it at all---it likes it.
