slayer007: I’m replying to you to continue a reasonable fact based discussion and appealing to your better judgment about giving Dr. Stiffler his due credit. Dr. Stiffler is not asking you to give him credit for all of your work, only what obviously came from his SEC exciter design. You are coming across as no longer respecting Dr. Stiffler's knowledge and work and his contributions to the open source community. I’m sure you must realize that there are many others that have more closely followed and benefited from what Dr. Stiffler has shared over the years. He has shared some of his most valuable information on documents and on YT, so you don’t have to be a member of forums to benefit from his copyrighted and open source contributions. His new 2 Coil Electrolyzer videos are the most recent examples.
You further inflame this issue by misrepresenting Dr. Stiffler's response when you quoted him out of context in your post #265 when you replied back to me. You appear to think that Dr. Stiffler's post from the past contradicts his recent post #240 and post #255 of this thread.
This post is long but necessary to put your assertion in its full true context and in chronological order which paints a totally different picture than what you misrepresented. In the circuit Dr. Stiffler responded to,
you are using a germanium PNP transistor CONNECTED BACKWARDS and
you later gave up on this circuit on post #452.
The first post listed below is your description of your circuit which Dr. Stiffler would obviously consider to be different than his and it also includes your YT video about it:http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/4999-joulethief-sec-exciter-variants-14.html 03-23-2010, 09:37 PM slayer007 Senior Member Post #403
I was inspired by Dr Stiffler's last video.
I wanted to see if I could get my circuit to self run also.
I'm using a old PNP transistor a R 591-7419.
I have the
polarity for the circuit reversed and I also have the
emitter and collector connected backwards.
Running it backwards it will draw as low as 30 uA while it's running.
This way the fields very weak but it still has enought
power to run and charge it's self. When I first started the circuit it only had 116.4 mV in the capacitor but it's slowly charging it's self.
At the end of the video I switch the transistor back around and the led will dimly lit off 136 mV.
Here is the video.

Here is your post which Dr. Stiffler first responded to: 03-24-2010, 02:42 PM slayer007 Senior Member Post #407
This might not be that easy to replicate.
I messed with it last night and lost the effect I had going.
I let it run all night after messing with it but it lost most of the voltage in the
capacitor. And it quite working some time in the night the voltage in the cap was 100 mV
when it stoped.
I recharged the capacitor this morning to 1 volt.
It's running right now but it's slowly loosing power.
The field is a lot stronger now and I'm having a hard time getting the current draw back
down in the uA range.
@Xee2 this is Dr Stiffler's channel he now has two video's of his self runner.

Here is Dr. Stiffler's first effort to help you, along with encouragement to keep at it: 03-24-2010, 02:51 PM DrStiffler Senior Member Post #408

Don't forget that if you are actually in SEC mode that there are diurnal effects, this has
been known for some time. Also temperature will affect the operation. To cold it will not
work, to hot it will not work. It is very hard to get it in the right mode. On an 18-1e it
is maybe just 1/16 turn either way on the tuning cap and its gone.
Good luck and keep at it.
BTW I am now driving a full LED panel in SP SEC mode.

Here is your second post which Dr. Stiffler gave you a second response to: 03-24-2010, 08:33 PM slayer007 Senior Member Post #412
Well I finally have it running itself agine.
I worked in it for a few hours gave up on it then came back and it started running on it's
own.
So don't give up Lidmotor.
I'm still using the old PNP transistor connected the right way but I have the base
resistor disconnected.
I did a tap start with it got it going then disconnected the resistor from the base.
I have a meter on it to measure the current it's using 10 to 30 uA.
When it was started there was 160.1 mV in the cap it is now up to 168.9 mV.
This time I won't touch it for 24 hours unless it stops agine.

Here is Dr. Stiffler's second effort to help you and this is all you posted on this thread which clearly took it out of context: 03-24-2010, 01:06 PM DrStiffler Senior Member #414

@Slayer
Depending on you circuit which is very different than mine, it is hard to compare results,
yet I will give you some spec's.
With a 3F cap, the charge rate is ~100mV/Sec. This is self limiting as the voltage gets to
a certain point into my Exciter the current leaves linear increase which pulls back down
the charge. The circuit will then oscillate between to to set points.
With the voltages you are seeing I think the diurnal effect will kill it off.

Here is your response thanking Dr. Stiffler for helping you out and for all that he has done: 03-24-2010, 09:20 PM slayer007 Senior Member # 415

Dr Stiffler thank you.
The circuit I have been working on is in my garage and it is not heated.
That would explain why it quite working on me last night as it was very cold last night.
This time I won't touch it at all till in the morning and see if it last all night.
Doc I can't wait to see your next video this is getting Very Exciting. (Not Worthy Smiley)
Thanks for all you have done. (Cheers Smiley)

Taken in full context the above posts provide more proof about how you closely followed and praised Dr. Stiffler's work and in no way states that Dr. Stiffler considers the Slayer exciter in question to not use his SEC exciter design which you clearly implied by your post.
Just as important to point out, and anyone objectively reviewing your post would realize this, the Slayer exciter at that time (not your abandoned Self Running Exciter circuit) is not the same one that you posted on page 5 post #66 of this thread. This was the one I compared to Dr. Stiffler's SEC exciter on my post #235 because you designated it on post #168 of this thread. You've made numerous modifications to the Slayer exciter but haven't tracked them with version or series numbers. It was rare that you openly included a schematic in your YT videos or attached them to your posts. On a comment that you made on your 3 year old Self Running Exciter video you referred someone who expressed frustration about you not including schematics 2 months ago to your YT 'Exciter with indicator light' video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naN-cLCgDyY&list=UUu5aMQt_fDsayuhUKueE9Ig&index=42 In your description and narration of this video referring to two diodes and LED transistor protection you state
"Dr Stiffler uses it in his SEC 18 series and it also works very good with this circuit." This is a clear example of some of the credit Dr. Stiffler deserves and which you used to acknowledge.
Why do you no longer give Dr. Stiffler credit for this or anything else that came from his SEC exciter design? In your recent response to me on post #234 about the SEC exciter and Slayer exciter circuits you stated "...they are nothing alike". This is my reply to the post you addressed to me. I primarily wanted to point out that it is not fair to take someone out of context in an effort to justify your actions and that your credit to Dr.Stiffler has changed which is frankly puzzling to me.
