LM317T Voltage Regulator with Pass Transistor

This is an update on my voltage regulator oscillator.It will now run on a wide input range and the full output of the regulator is available for switching or pulsing applications. I also show how the VRO can be used to make an inverter and an exciter.

Final update on my thermostat project, that I've built as a simple microcontroller project that you can learn from. jumperone.com

A simple useful implementation of the low powered toroid oscillators shown recently. 3x 1.8W solar panels are connected to a rejuvenated car battery (was completely dead, sat outside for a couple of years and a homemade Bedini wheel knocked the sulfation off). The battery connects to a LM317T circuit, which converts the power to a constant 1.2V. The circuit is within the datasheet.for the LM317T. Out then, to a 1200 turn approx 1" ferrite toroid, with approx 70 turns as the Primary. A 2SC2655 then supplies the switching to power the mains rated LED night light. The light can be left on 24 hours a day. It uses only 5mA. The best running brightness can be regulated with a pot on the LM317T circuit (20K). The 3 homemade battery cells run 'Penny' oscillators, see Lidmotor's channel for the circuit diagram for that circuit. Note - Zinc Oxide not magnesium oxide is used within the seashell cell. All 3 were stovetop type cells, see IBpointless2's channel for a video where he shows how to cook down the ingredients

Voltage regulator worked well. unit has passed testing and is cleaned and re-assembled.

The Instrument Cluster Voltage Regulator went wacky so we pulled off on some frontage road to try to repair.

Fixed my Hori FS3 and the PS3 with the bad power supply. What a day!
