However, since he uses so many transistors in his circuit, I have a strong feeling he is implementing a latching circuit to deceive people into thinking the 3 V battery induces the initial charge that keeps it going and operating in OU mode. But in actuality, he most likely has hidden batteries in the ring, and the 3V battery only latches the circuit ON and OFF with is drawing its energy from those hidden batteries. Why do I say this? Because a joule thief circuit does not need 3 transistors to operate, I think it's a deliberate over design to deceive by creating a latching circuit. Anyway, that's how I feel about this tonight! EM
4tesla,groundloop, grumage and me also toke a shot at this Akula 1W device, you will find lots of info and video's of our replication attempt here:http://www.overunityresearch.com/index.php?topic=2227.msg36164#msg36164 Regards Itsu
