Has anyone on here played with pummer circuits?

@MLE_online @ai6yr what's a pummer ? It looks interesting.

I didn’t know and was curious.

@ai6yr this second pummer was much easier to build because i did it deadbug style. Unfortunately it also doesn't work! In fact, it works even less than the last one
@ai6yr fixed it!i had the diode the wrong way around

@ai6yr Now that this works, I just need my ceramic luminary to come out of the kiln so I can install this in it

@MLE_online @ai6yr Yeah, diodes are picky about that! Glad it's working.

@ai6yr And now that I have one built. I think I can build a couple more -- if I can find more schottky diodes in my stuff. I was lucky to find one

@MLE_online YAY! Glad you figured it out!!! That's fabulous!

@MLE_online I love that deadbug style makes it appear to be a spaceship, lol!

@MLE_online I should just put a selection of stuff from my pile o'junk and send it your direction. I have the entire remainder of resistors from the unbuilt L1011 aircraft program, plus so many transistors in the garage, lol. You could undoubtedly use a bunch!

@ai6yr that's in large part because i built it to be thin so i could fit it inside the ceramic piece, but there must also just be something inherently spacey about these because people like to make them look like little satellites
