Dad Scientist | Trigger coil stange effect @ET2uscg | Uploaded November 2011 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
Sorry for the bad camera shots, but I was very tired. I could not get the simple exciter circuit to work. I did not have the transistor connected, the trigger coil was connected to the antenna and the positive end of the trigger coil was hooked to the powersupply. The other lead coming from the trigger coil was left unconnected. The meter showed 3.4 vac on the hv antenna until i touched it . Then it went to 30vac. Then when I connected the negative to the negative side of the coil the meter would read 0vac. Was the coil in oscillation? What is that all about.
