Well since when is OU research confined to a safe operating area? Most of the circuits you have probably seen and worked with in your life work in a linear manner with no way of having energies reversing. They are surrounded by side circuits full of dampening devices and so on. Energy conservation is not your main criteria. First question answer; Since OU research started using transistors and MOSFETs, unless you find that toasted ones work better And I have worked with and designed many switching circuits and RF amplifiers of various classes that drive VHF/UHF frequency hot plasma loads inside precision-tuned optical-wavelength mirrored resonant chambers and have to deal hugely with forward and reverse energies as central critical features. How in the world would you be in any position to speculate on what kind of circuits I've worked with, anyway? Energy conservation and efficiency and low losses and reliability were always my main concerns in every power circuit I ever designed, sir. Very rarely were any "side circuits" or "dampening devices" ever used except where the shit would hit the fan and toasted semiconductors would appear if certain "radiant events" were not held in check. You see, my circuits had to actually do what they claimed! Without breaking. For years on end, every time. These devices can create harmonics that go way above the frequency ranges you know of. You have a damn transistor with an led across it. That LED is burning juice and creating harmonics that you do not even know about. You won't even see it if your scope is not in the right ranges.
Well, if I don't know about them after 45 years of practical design and testing including RF and microwave stuff, just how would I learn? From you? Teach on, brother, teach on! I'm all ears. So there is no need for your fat lip with me. I can do the same if you prefer.
My post was addressed to @ponty99 and I know WTF I am talking about. I see it on my bench every damn day so don't try to tell me this or that. Have you ever done something, then tried to replicate it and it does not work again. Ever wonder why? One small difference can make or break the effect ESPECIALLY AT THE mV LEVEL. So just sharpen your knife to slaughter your own rats and leave me alone. If those coils were not wound by a machine in a factory assembly line, then who can say one is identical to the other. GET IT?

I have always tried hard to spend enough time and effort studying my circuit designs and making sure the component sensitivities are reasonably low well before I physically build them. When I first started out, there were lots of times things were fritzy and non-repeatable or just plain blew up. Later, my designs generally tended to whip straight from the drawing board into full production without a glitch. And they worked the same every time. And they still work today. After tens of thousands or even huindreds of thousands of copies put in the field being used daily all over the world. Of course, I cheated. I always knew precisely what I was trying to accomplish before I started fiddling on a design. So I'm not as brave as you, okay? Relax, there's no need for war or bitterness here. I even apologized over in the original thread (it didn't get over here when the posts were moved). I just think we misunderstood each other's terminology. Chill, dude! Peace out. Humbugger
