Ahoy, Herr Jones,

Well, now thats quite a hoot.  Thank you for the link!
 I spent a little time wandering around there this
morning, and got the gist of several of the circuits
in use.  This is really into the good phase now, where
multiple experimenters have taken off with the design,
and are doing a parameter space study (whether they
realize it or not!)

I snagged the basic latest driver design, and can
begin to breadboard a basic version this coming week.

Now I see that most of the fellows doing this work
have come to use a simple AM radio ferrite antenna
stick.  Does this mean that the exotic necessities for
special ferrite are now moot?  What exactly IS AM
radio ferrite compositionally - is it a barium
ferrite?

I also see that the large clusters of LEDs being lit
are primarily in series.  This is an interesting clue
in more ways than the obvious.  I recall Seike used to
go on about semiconductor coils, and indeed, some of
the oddball long lived arrays Sam Faile used to see
were huge series strings of LEDs matched to a high
voltage.  He even ran a string from a foil capacitive
pickup near a plasma globe!

Very interesting - thanks again!
