@Br0kenMan I appreciate the offer, but about 15 mins after I posted this, I finally got it... my wire loop was a bit small, and my tower is so small... it does work though. Mine, works better for CFL's than LED's, it seems.

Brilliant!

I made my first diode version today and tried it with my Mini tower, and held it by the diode, which turned out to be the only way the LED would illuminate. I have a very small wire loop..and.. right away the diode heats up to the point of almost burning my finger 1N4007. I had to slip the wire loop right inside the tower to make the LED glow. I figured the LEDs would glow easier on my mini tower than the CFL's but that doesn't seem to be the case: opposite in fact. Am i missing something? Tks!

@KyleCarrington perhaps you could post an image of your diode setup?

Great video - thank you very much for pointing out that an AV plug doesnt need 2 diodes. which diodes are you using?? Is it important in your experience, or do some types not work?
Ive been trying to build one recently for my exciter - i didnt know the loop of wire was necessary - ill try again tomorrow. Perhaps one of the diodes i already have will work. Thanks mate!

@MrFlathunter i am using a 1n4004 or 1n4007 but i should think any diode would work. The wire loop is not necessary but enhances the pickup. The pickup effect is also enhanced when you are holding the diode so i believe the body and the loop of wire act as an antenna.
