Couldnt resist this build when i saw it on Shlodo’s channel If this does charge itself on load, I believe its the ambient background entering the positive by being the grounding for its higher voltage output… very strange, but im thrilled (CFLs were gutted Imhotep style) Bless all you hard workers for your ideas!! …
Found this concept while looking for the ultimate low input / hv driver for the Don Smith, very impressed with this performance, a truly brilliant hookup, no resistors, chips or anything fancy, and strangely it uses the least current, and has the most unlikely arrangement. Had this built the same day i saw it, 2 days ago, and impressed me more than some of the most complex circuits. I am still building the Don Smith, and soon the “realR…
part 2, next morning, charging was up!!! I believe its the ambient background entering the positive by being the grounding for its higher voltage output… very strange, but im thrilled (CFLs were gutted Imhotep style) …
