Trawoeer Power Pyramid Version 12 - Electrical output from a homemade pyramid

[Ruud]

Hallo ik ben Ruud uit nederland.
Ik wil graag melden dat ook ik een werkende piramide heb.
Zie foto.
Wel is mijn DC voltage nog wat laag.
ik kom van 3,6 volt tot 5.1 net genoeg om de fan te laten draaien.

Hi Ruud,


that's awesome to hear!! And your built looks very nice and professional. I asked you some questions in a PM but I'll just repeat them here as it will probably be  interesting for a lot of people.


How did you electrify the core? What sand did you use? Could you take a video how you set it up and how it is running? How did you find a good spot for it? Are there any updates?

Cheers and thanks a lot for your post,


Prato

Hi Ruud,


unfortunately I don't speak Dutch but German and I just realized, that you wrote that your fan isn't turning as the voltage doesn't suffice. Did you run any other loads from the pyramid? Did you try to charge batteries or capacitors?  Did you try to step it up?
Sorry that I'm asking so much things but I'm getting really excited as this is the first positive result that is published.
Cheers,


Prato

Hi Ruud,

Did you try different fans ?
There are fans which start up at almost 3V - even if they are rated for 12 Volts.
These fans are of the brushless motor type.
If you look at TTs videos, it takes a bit until the reactor starts up, TTs kicking the fan
and fiddling with the output cap. rgds.

Hi Ruud
Wat als je de piramide van de grond te tillen? zet deze op een tafel of ondersteuning zoals TT. Ik geloof dat het kan niet plat op de grond als de grond is dicht zoals beton.
