Commercial engineers, and even the manufacturers, would rarely bother to test a semiconductor device outside of it's published specifications, and especially not in the unwanted astable "runaway" condition; which analog electronic engineers carefully avoid.
-
And it appears to do this using a combination of the Inductance of the coil that is an inherent part of the resistive heating element, as well as the unusual astable oscillation of the

The Ainslie circuit has highly complex waveforms, and by all reports is somewhat difficult and sensitive to properly adjust to force the "MOSFET", a type of transistor/semiconductor, into the needed astable oscillation condition ... and it defies any easy explanations.
-
The transient spikes from the MOSFET operating in runaway "astable oscillation mode", help to both magnify in amplitude and increase in number (Frequency), the inductive spikes that come from the
-
We need to shift our attention from mushroom cloud narratives and focus on the solution: creating astable financial structure that is grounded in public ownership of the monetary system.

I had hours of fun designing and creating astable circuits with lots of features to make synthesiser type sounds - astables within astables etc. Then practical digital electronics for burglar alarm circuits etc.

Looking at the circuit, it basically breaks down into three parts: On the far left, a 555 timer is configured in an astable mode, causing it to generate a square wave at some frequency.
