emmiter follower test circuit, and some scope shots

[bigmotherwhale]

thought i would try an energizer in emitter follower mode, it works! here is the circuit diagram and scope shots.

initial tests show that it is producing a sharp peaks and appears to be charging well, not verified.

I threw it together in about half an hour and didn't use a diagram but i think what i drew it is pretty close, the trigger may be the wrong polarity however.

input current draw was 700ma the meter on the charge battery showed 300ma input current (meaningless, just there as a guide)


hopefully the circuit works how i want it to and the base resistor is now the drive coil

this circuit only works if driven with an external signal, such as a pair one working in emitter follower and one in collector, i cannot get this circuit to work on its own without an external source yet.
