Current direction of collapsing field.
@Mopozco Great, thanks for sharing results. The collapsing field of a coil wants to keep current flowing in same direction, coil behaves like battery in series with your 1.5V battery ~(-)batt(+)~~~(-)coil(+)~. Please confirm direction of LED on your drawing. Is LED cathode connected to coil so that when current from collapsing field at higher voltage (bemf) exceeds LED Vf it flashes it? This would keep the current flowing in the same direction not in opposite direction as shown on your drawing.
The question here in the "Reed Oscillator" is: Can current flow in both directions through the oscillating Reed switch simultaneously? The answer is Yes!
This means the current from the collapsing coil field can circle directly around to act as a power pulse without returning to the power source!
