Phil.

Please, please, IFI, do explain.

I showed the circuit to another fellow Electrical engineer, and we both agree that it is either the MOST brilliant circuit ever designed, and it is using the components in ways we did not think about, or there is indeed something fishy in the circuit. Either way, I am most interested in finding out more about the way the circuit operates.
