Selfcharging cap circuit from Larskro fake or real ?

[synchro1]

I'm not sure but I think that the thing probably never actually sees AC from the motor coils, except in the sense of the inductive ringing. I think it's operating as a quasi-synchronous pulse motor. So the coil is pulsed once, briefly, during one half of the rotation and coasts the rest of the time. There will be some generator effect during the coasting probably but I can't quite wrap my head around it without actually having a working apparatus in front of me.

I tried another micro relay, had it all wired in, only to discover that it, too, has a diode across the coil. So I'm going to have to build my own little motor I guess. And dig up a plain reed switch from somewhere. Although I have been playing around with a Hall effect sensor; maybe I can get that to substitute for a reed switch.

Hall effect transistors can't deliver the "Reed Switch" magic that results in the self running effect. The Hall effect transistor resists  the kind of backflow current the Reed Switch allows. There's no way to improve over this kind of circuit's simplicity; Reed switch in series with the power source and self looped! Proper timing allows it to hit and restore the capacitor through the reversed biased LED's with correctly polarized BEMF.

Larskro's latest video. A "Self accelerating (Reed Switch) magnet motor".

Milehigh and Tinselkoala developed their Op-Amp circuit to replicate this kind of self looped Reed Switch simplicity with Integrated circuitry. Are they threatening to drag  us over yet another unworn section of twisted and tortous path leading who knows where? Here's the bacon Larskro brought home in the mean time:


Larskro heavily bias's his Reed Switch with a lever magnet. I mounted my Reed Switch directly to the coil face! This is not a fake!

Special Nano crystal cap???

Hello,
I will attempt to replicate this as the cost is low, and it is a small project I can take with me on my travels.

I snagged an image of his hand drawn schematic from Larskro's  latest youtube upload.

I have ordered faucet motor/gen lights from this vendor as they look to have the square type motor/generator as used by Larskro, and fairly inexpensive. 4 pcs for $12.00 free shipping in US.

Hi,

Larskro has just modified the info on his capacitor in parallel with the supercap:

"Sorry sorry - I wrote a multilayer nanocrystal 0.47uF in the video part 1 and in the diagram, this is wrong.
I remembered wrong, it is 10uF 25volt. I have controlled this now." 

So it is 10 uF and not 0.47 uF... 

You can read it under his schematic video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eUIf6UEdbA
