I decided to put it together on a bread board and play with it to get the most benefit. I'll do that tomorrow after IO pickup the transistors and caps. Meanwhile I have a couple of questions:
1- The zener diode I had across the led was to protect the led from over voltage. Anything over it's break-down voltage of 5.1 would not get through. Is that not how it would work?
2- The voltage at the collector is it going to be 16.39V?
3- What would happen if I remove the transistor from the circuit and connect the mosfet with its zener diode, cap and gate stopper wouldn't that work ? ( without regard to light of or dark on)
