PhysicsProf Steven E. Jones circuit shows 8x overunity ?

Sorry, Nerzh, for the slow response.  I've been traveling -- just greeted our 10th grand-child to the world!  and what a world it is.  Would be much better with freedom energy!

Here's the link, to see the budding scientists:  http://youtu.be/itXT8H5EXoo   
This rising generation needs our help and attention!

Hi JouleSeeker,

Yes, IMO, the world sucks (an huge lot).

10th grand-child?

For my part, I keep on trying. OU-wise.

This rising generation is, fortunately, very + witty and very +  conscious.

Just wondering whether it was not *we* that need their help and attention.
Almost kidding.

Very Best from Brest Brittany.

PS and BTW:

Yet Another Private Vid? (YAPV)?

Nerzh, pls try the video once more... I hope the "repair" stays in place!

And you're right -- the rising generation is " very + witty and very +  conscious"!

A variant of the blocking oscillator circuit is provided by Lasersaber:

Congratulations Lasersaber, Lidmotor et al. on a very fun circuit!


  Replicator Peanutbutter291 provides a first estimate of Power out versus Power in with the New JouleRinger circuit:
Super Joule Ringer Light output comparisons, Info, improvements, etc. Part 1 - YouTube

He uses a light meter to first verify that a 7.5 W LED bulb (120V bulb) puts out 490-500 lumens, as advertised with this particular bulb.
Then he drives 7 bulbs, at full output this would be 7 x 7.5W = 52.5W. 

First run, he gets 85% of full brightness, so 52.5W x 0.85 = 44.6W is his estimated Pout.
The power supply is at this time providing 1.55A at 12V = 18.6 W input.
Efficiency is roughly 44.6/18.6 ~ 2.4; interesting though still a rather crude measure at this point.

Second run, with choke added in series with the load,
he gets 78% of full brightness, so 52.5W x 0.78 = 40.95 W is his estimate Pout.
The power supply is at this time providing 1.52A at 11.5V = 17.48W input.
Efficiency is roughly 41/17.5 ~ 2.3; again interesting.

Attachments show from his (long) vid the calculations of Pout and Pin, along with his revised circuit diagram.
Note that he first adds bias through a resistor to the base, to get the ringing started, and for the second run he adds a choke.

Thanks and congrats for a fun little circuit!

 Michael Faraday invented the world's first electrical motor in 1821 in England, now called the "homopolar motor."   I put together various versions as we visited family from Maryland to Missouri to Utah in the last several weeks.  Fun and educational.  Perhaps you will find something that YOU would like to build.  It's quite easy (see videos) and fascinating to study.     The simplest version, shown in the first segment, requires just one 1-inch diameter disk magnet with conducting coating (about 3 mm thick), a 9" piece of 14-gauge wire, and a battery (C-cell or AA-cell is best).   You can buy the needed neodymium/rare earth magnet(s) from supermagnetman.com and other sources.  I went to a hardware store to get the copper wire -- pulled one wire out of ordinary electrical wiring for a house. Note the ground wire has no insulation and is easiest to use. 
Also, I recommend that you learn more about Michael Faraday and his discoveries!
