LM317T Voltage Regulator with Pass Transistor

This is a short video of the early testing of my new GAVR-15 AVR on my ST-10 Generator. You can see clearly it self starts easily with no capacitor or ballast required. The voltage regulation is nothing short of excellent, even handling a large bank of fluorescent lights on their own with no noticeable flickering. The other regulators I have tested have all needed an additional load such as a heater or similar before they could make a stable voltage while running these lights. This shows how well filtered this regulator's circuits are.
