I just finished assembling the oscillator yet again, this time with 1/2 W resistors of the value I needed (one or two as opposed to multiple resistors to get my values) and it works!

I have a neon lamp hooked to one of the output coils, it lights constantly with the 9V battery to the unit. I don't know the value of the lamp, but it only lights on a field collapse on the coil. I don't have the equipment to measure the voltage spikes yet, but I'll get there sooner or later.

Now I just have to wait on my batteries, and a few other componants and I can begin building the capacitive discharge charger side of the circuit and I can begin testing and perfecting it. I'm excited, I've been waiting MONTHS just to get this far with my limited budget. As soon as I do this proof of concept run, I'll post the results. After that I have other projects this Bedini coil is going to help me do.. SO many projects, so little time!

I also found my camera.. Now If I can just find that upload cord..

Found it... Heres some pictures.

My coil, with the neon lamp lit. I think the lamp is a 110v lamp.


Here's an image of the output I measured with my Oscope. The voltage isn't accurate because of the limiter to protect my computer, but it shows that it is working.
