Charging and lighting a CFL tube

!: Charging and lighting a CFL tube

Sorry my camera is dying on me this is the best i could do.. but this is a demonstration of the low voltage side of the transformer being used to charge the battery while the high voltage side runs the electromag spinning the wheel and running the load. here is a 6v cheap lantern battery recharging a dying 9v battery while using a CFL tube to absorb the radiant energy created when theres no battery on the charge end.. if i reverse the wires coming from the transformer then the charge battery will charge at a faster rate, but the CFL wouldn't get enough voltage to light. it would be the equivalent of switching from a quick-charge to a trickle charge which I could make easy with a switch. also near the end of the vid i show that with this small low input setup i can make a tiny continuous spark jump a little gap i made, but i dont like doing it because it can cause a greater spark to jump out inside the reed switch and can cause it to melt and stick becoming useless. with this setup one could make a small jacobs ladder type deal easily. I dont have enough LED's to tell yet, but so far it was able to light about 20 green ones with no problem.
