This design would work as an emergency light-- better than anything else that I have made. Make up half a dozen of them and have them on hand for that bad day when the lights go out. It doesn't make alot of light but it is better than a candle and the multiple days run time is amazing.
Here is my version of it.
Do not - as in never - connect your scope directly to my circuit. It will get blown. If you just place the probe near any part of the circuit you will see the wave forms clearly and be safe.
That table rim of aluminum is a painful shock in waiting!
With you not swapping the batteries and me doing it, we should compare notes when this is all over. I'm surprised that your charge battery is not charging up. On my system it does but it could be because of circuit component differences and settings between the two setups. I also looked at the charge aspect on the scope and did cap charge tests before I started the experiment. Lets stay in touch on this thing. I'll let you know as soon as mine stops.
