My first ou transformer experiment

[crazycut06]

Lol!    If ur results are not that good I suggest you take a look at thanes bitoroid setup, this is what trafos should be! 90deg. Phase shift no cemf on primary.... Mabuhay!

Various Experiment I have done validate that the most energy comes from a transformer when resonating it.
Every transformer is different.
Anyways I can light a 3 V led through a 10-1 stepdown transformer with a 1.5 volt battery at only the resonant frequency of the transformer.

So my suggestion is to find the resonant frequency of the transformer for maximum effect.

To see the effect of resonating a transformer see below.

Voltage should not be confused with energy.

At resonance, the voltage and current are 90 degrees out of phase.

Poynt,

Like I said... At only the resonant frequency of the transformer (an audio transformer in this case)... does the 3 Volt LED (or 20 of them) light up using only a 1.5 volt battery.

This is not a joule thief... it works at only 1 specific frequency.

The transformer literally hums only at it's resonant frequency.
The transformer is also a 10 to 1 step down transformer.


In fact.. if you hook the LEDs up to the primary instead of the 10 to 1 stepped down secondary, the LEDs will promptly burn out !


Anyone can verify this by resonating a transformer with a load (like a light) and observing the results !

How do you "resonate" the transformer and light up the 20 LEDs with a 1.5 volt battery? What is driving the transformer? Please show your complete circuit. In the image above, you are driving the transformer with a signal generator or some kind of oscillator, aren't you? Is this powered by a 1.5 volt battery?

This is not a joule thief... it works at only 1 specific frequency.

What is a Joule Thief? Do they work at multiple frequencies.... or are they self-resonant, locking into the resonant frequency of their coil sets "automagically"?

The transformer literally hums only at it's resonant frequency.

Congratulations... you've discovered magnetostriction.

The transformer is also a 10 to 1 step down transformer.

What are the turns on the primary and secondary? A transformer with 10:1 turns ratio can be used as a 10:1 step down, or a 1:10 step up transformer, depending on which side is driven and which side is the load side. It is not clear to me what you are talking about here, because of the next statement:

In fact.. if you hook the LEDs up to the primary instead of the 10 to 1 stepped down secondary, the LEDs will promptly burn out !

So you are using a 1.5 volt battery somehow to "resonate" the primary, and if you hook your LEDs up directly there they will burn out.... all 20 of them..... but if they are hooked up to the 10:1 stepped down secondary.... they won't.
Please show your complete circuit, including how you are resonating the transformer using a 1.5 volt battery.

Anyone can verify this by resonating a transformer with a load (like a light) and observing the results !

Voltage is not power, and worse than that.... power is not energy.

Wait until you start resonating air-core coils that don't saturate, by driving them at 1/4 wavelength, and observing those results. You might be "shocked" at what you will find.
