You could always crop the picture! but that was mostly a jest as this post simply reminded me that I actually did this some years ago and posted the results here.Your photo had extra components and it would have confused the issue for those beginners making the project. Things have to be simple and easy to understand. The project is already a very sophisticated and complex design.
I don't see the capacitor in your photo and I explained how it improved the efficiency of the circuit considerably.
Yes I understand the capacitor is not in the circuit, that's because I tried it with absolutely no observable effect and I also asked you to describe the methods you used for measuring this so called drastic efficiency increase and you never specified your methods. The only way to properly measure efficiency due to the high frequency and irregular waveshape is with a relatively decent DSO measuring power in / power out and you never posted such scope shots that lend credence to the efficiency claim.
I'm not saying your claims are false but if you can't substantiate them without describing analytic methods that are based on firm observations with appropriate equipment. You have demonstrated no proof of your claim and you failed to respond to this same question in the thread I started and I would ask you again to firmly explain in detail sufficiently technical to justify it's accuracy of your efficiency claim and exactly what methods you used to measure the input and output power.
Perhaps if voidptr ends up getting a decent scope he could post the results if he decides he's really curious enough, I will the day I get a decent DSP which I don't see happening anytime soon I remember the thread from three years ago, so I don't think I'll forget about this when I end up either owning one or have access to a decent DSO, my personal curiosity on this particular matter is quiet high.
