LM317T Voltage Regulator with Pass Transistor

A small Jacob's Ladder, driven by a 555 timer circuit quite similar to the Ainslie clock in all its variations. The 2n3055 transistor, the automotive ignition coil, and the big diode are wired up exactly as the remainder of the Ainslie "heater" circuit. The only real difference is in the choice of timing R and C in the 555 circuit, and the 10-turn pots for precise control of frequency and duty cycle. And yes, in this circuit the battery voltage will actually appear to rise as the circuit runs. For example the no-load voltage when I started was 12.6, and when I finished this demo it was up to 12.8. So it must be a massively overunity Jacob's ladder!!
