Now for next step circuit.
I need to find parts (from what I have) (transistors , zinner diod) for most efficiency.
JTs coils + secondaries - on the next.

Just what comes to my mind: capacitor C2 was dumping feedback pulses power.
Need to check it.

lucky, I don't break experiment, just remove C2. Frequency feedback pulse was dropped twice to 0.1Hz (1 pulse in 10 seconds)
Second JT was feeding first JT through C2.
I'll keep it ower night to see how mach will be dropped voltage, to compare with previous nights.

Hi,  @all,
Just completed my first experiment. What I found: battery voltage much depends on the temperature.

@tysb3

Nice work ! keep it up .

I am planing a second stage also with my NPN PNP circuit , second stage powered by 2 jt ...

thanks, Mark.

@ all
Now I'm playing with parts of  double JT
Just connect mosfet. It's working !

Hi tysb what are you using on Q1 transistor?
Thanks

Hi guruji,
Now I'm keeping C5029
but I think, small power transistor is better.
Should be work any npn  transistor, only need to find which works more efficient.

Hi tysb thanks so this charges the source batt? and where one puts leds with this circuit?
Thanks

Hi tysb thanks so this charges the source batt?

Hi guruji
I hope it will charge. Now it's only feedback. I dont have Ammetter.
Now what I have - source batt voltage drops from 1.393 to 1.390 in 24 hours.
If you want to play with LEDs, you can its connect where you want, like ordinary JT - transistors collectors, or wind secondaries coils

@ all some project

Hi
@ all

I replace IRF630 to IRF614.
Looks much better.
The pulses package is now almost twice as long.

Hi,
@ all

This is some video:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01kHpPcjPDI

You can hear sound when feedback pulses package is going
First JTs curent is about 0.5 ma

Hi
@ all

I blow up my mofsets :(
and return to bipolar transistors.
It's looks working in similar efficiency with high resistens R2
Pulses package is shorter.
T2 parameters is critical. I try to wind JT coils to T2 - unsuccessful with this circuit parameters.
Looks need more inductance in the coils maybe  ???

Hi
@ all

It's still not OU,
but maybe we are closer
