I got tired of waiting for the AA battery to go dead and figured I have enough results from that test to see that it is just a fairly efficient device and will run at moderate brightness off a 1.2V battery and not lose much brightness even when I put a battery with only 400mV on it, and also learned that NiMH batteries seem to have a "plateau effect" where the V and I level off for a while...
So on with the tests - I clipped the zip tie holding it together and started messing with it a little and noticed something interesting, so here is a vid.

It is actually going from 155mA to 185mA now that I got a closer look at the meter. ( I have to squeeze them together to get it to 150mA because of the wires and hot glue around the edges being in the way.) I've also noticed that by taking two of my 20x6x1mm neo magnets and placing one in between each side of the core and sticking them together, the draw goes down another 5mA. Of course they have to be placed in the proper orientation or the draw goes up 5mA.
So these couple experiments have proved to me that:
1- there is actually something to the whole partnered secondary thing
2- the Current draw and Voltage consumption is reduced by having the partnered secondaries
3- Even though this configuration is supposed to be nearly eliminating the magnetic flux in the core, there is still magnetic flux, but it can be used to our advantage
the whole statement of having magnetic fields cancel and E fields adding (or doubling) doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. In order to have electrification, both magnetism and dielectricity must be present. Electrification happens at the points where the dielectric and magnetic fields intersect, so if we were to completely cancel out the magnetic field, we would have only dielectricity, which is pure voltage.
In order to have real electricity, we must have Voltage (dielectricity) and Current (magnetism)
However, this is the interesting thing: A current can be induced into an inductor in 2 different ways:
1) a changing magnetic flux ( A passing magnet)
1)When magnetic flux induces a current into an inductor, the resultant collapse of said magnetic field results in a spike of dielectricity (voltage spike)
2) Voltage (dielectric field) being applied to an inductor
2)When a voltage is directed into an inductor, a magnetic field builds up and current is induced, and the resultant collapse of said magnetic field produces a spike of dielectricity.
Capacitors are holders of dielectricity
Inductors are holders of magnetic fields
So one holds Voltage, one holds Current. That is why I added capacitors to my device - to see if I could create some sort of system of mutual partnership between capacitor and inductor, which it seems I did do.
I haven't fully figured out how my device is functioning the way it is, but I am working on it. The more tests I perform, the better I will understand.
