Les recommended a separate post for this, because the results appear to be showing fruit, while the tree is a mere sapling.
It concerns talk within his introduction thread, of a method described by Tesla as 'System for Electrical Distribution"
Here's the Patent:
http://www.google.com/patents/US381970Having built many Joule Thief type circuits and having witnessed an Alum and water cell begin to flash a regular plain Joule Thief, my interests were expanded to creating a different but useful low power circuit.
That circuit became the '555 A-Like'. 1Volt required, less than 150uA required and giving similar benefits as the famous 555 timer. Variable duty rate, frequency, Pin 3 type output to drive via the transistor Collector and fully tunable.
That simple circuit and description are here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk63WijKZFcThe Patent coil was then wound. It has been wound on a JT sized black ferrite core of approx 1/2". The lower windings are of 30 gauge and my intentions in the next video link, were to simply test those windings. 36 x 4 and connected as per the Patent...it needed to be tested before the top winds were to go on. The 555 A-Like was a good idea for a test. The middle 2 windings of the Patent were connected together and they became the Positive power input.
555 A-Like running the Tesla Patent winding coil:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNegZlHGHt0 I wished to gain a view of the waveform and so placed my regular sniffer coil next to the toroid (sniffers have been seen in many peoples videos on YouTube and offer a convenient Ground as well as signal path. I don't know enough about scopes and that is one concern, this one being relatively new to me, though is second hand.
I was wondering about the 'trumpet wave' as apparently produced and that is something as confirmed by Les that is wished to be seen by many researchers. It's what the screen here shows when I test !

And here is the 'Unlisted' video that you might review, to see the scope traces, I do apologize for lack of proficiency and that is why it isn't a Public video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGKiMtJJv1INext, it was decided that a good idea, would be to see if there was a long term running difference to a regular Joule Thief type of circuit. Was it showing anything else perhaps differently.
Taking a 1.2V Ni-MH that I usually charge via solar, the tests began prior to the thought really. I'd used the battery during the day and its starting voltage was 1.240V. The first couple of hours were run at 'wide open' screaming milliamps lol, approx 20mA.
By 7.25pm the battery was showing 1.216V
The pot was turned fully down, to run the LED at a flash rate of approx 5Hz (still pretty fast but not continuous light).
Running current from that time has been 150uA.
Since that time, the battery has seemingly recovered, way up to 1.239V as of now, 05.00am
Here's a pic of where it sits.

To explain the above, at the top is the Atomic Clock, showing Date and time. To its left is the wire i'll be using for the top coils of the toroid. Underneath right is the meter, middle shows how the solar cell has been covered (since midnight) and to the left you can see the LED on.
There are many questions, surely not due to a different coil winding ?
Note - i invite anyone to attempt to charge a battery with a garden light panel indoors, several feet away from a 13W CFL, it has been covered over to only leave battery self recovery as the reason for the anomaly
I'll be fitting an AV plug of 1N4148 diodes and small reactance electrolytic cap to the spike output, for a return to the battery and, well, crossing my fingers.
It may be a triviality for OU research, but i've had good success with this sort of thing and this forming method is crying out to be fully explored.
A regular 381,970 coil wound on a toroid of several inches diameter may be the furtherment, should this actually produce a good charging system.
