Point well taken, but it is not from the core in the same sense that one would consider when using a PM and the field is decreased over time. I did not mention, although important is that the relaxation oscillator is switching the bulb around 70Hz. The voltage on the storage capacitor drops during discharge and recharges during the off switch period. I have measured steady state power to obtain just what the circuit is capable of and it is very interesting. Not wanting to get involved in the old OU thing, let me state I firmly believe in energy conservation, yet I also believe in conversion between forms, wherein a gain seems to be taking place, although conservation still rules.
