What do you mean? Soldering a single high tension conductor from a flyback to TWO legs of an inductor won't work? I generally run a single wire out to my devices when I want to power them. It's direct current. You know... direct. Like it just goes there and doesn't have to come back. Two or even three conductor extension cords is how the copper industry gets ya. Just like oil changes.

There isn't even any kind of an oscillator in that circuit. That flyback cannot flyback, nor could it ever produce a beep. You're essentially shorting that battery pack out through the flyback primary and nothing else. At best this device is a bettery powered heater.

This particular Gem was entered by Mr "BGTopFun" on HMT a few weeks ago, to which I responded:

Free Energy Generator 100%

it seems like he never bother to reply any questions whatsoever, guess he's content only with the traffic on his channel.

In my part of the world*, this violates the Acceptable Use Policy of this forum as it factually is:
"fraudulent, false, misleading, or deceptive."

This really is plain old B.S. It can never work made like that!
