I did and lost it
I think somewhere in the past on this forum I wrote about it. I did had a VERY successful experiment; but today I can not prove it to anyone, that is why I am now using the video camera extensively as lab-note. I suggest others to invest in a reasonable camera. Mine is a 30mb JVC hard drive Everio - not the best, not top grade but doing just fine.
Now that I think some of my results are proven here, I can date a statement HERE ONLY: I had a similar very stupid circuit (to this one) and was playing around with magnets on old Bedini wheel and bi-F coil. Circuit none of Bedini.
I ran it through a valve and coil with some transistors only. 2N3055, grain of wheat and two resistors, discharge back to another charging battery. Both batteries are the same one I am using now; and they did 12 cycles on Bedini SG. Wheel was switching transistor on one #26 wire of coil and #22 went to charge battery with resistor - oh yes, and had diode.
The whole thing played around a valve (triode) that I had from an old Tellefunken radio hams junk. Al can remember is that it was marked JAN - later only learned there are plenty ex-WWII Joint Airfore and Navy stuff.
I remember the night I called my very good friend to tell him about my excitement and my one son also saw this. Amp draw on run battery was 21 Milli Amp, output to charge battery was 33-35 milli Amp. Circuit was complete closed circuit. Same small analog meter used then – all I had. Yes, you can say all about meters - I know and proved it in one of my video's.
The next day I wanted to boosted the current a bit – tried 24Vdc. Connected, phone rang – all went up in smoke; as in everything charcoal, resistors - coil and wheel OK. Triode literally popped and melted the filaments inside. I desperately tried to get similar valve, in vain. I bought 12 pieces that weekend, all JAN's and looks similar - but can not work; US$ 480 lying in a drawer. Never realized these stuff can be so expensive. I did not even pay for that old radio, was in junk box with an ornament my GF wanted – paid something like US$ 2 for the box!
YES, I was stupid. Just worked on feeling, no diagram, no pre-plan or thoughts. Was literally just doodling to figure out how this thing (valve) really worked. Someday I will try to ponder that one again.
So, nat1971a; I KNOW for a fact there is something extremely valuable in those grandfathers of this transistors we are using here. That is actually why I concentrated on transistors as descendants of those old valves.
