World's first real Free Energy Flashlight - no shaking - no batteries! No Solar

[markdansie]

Stuart Campbell reproduces the ELFE effect with $10 flashlight.
In his attempt to refute the skeptics and prove the the battery rebound or relaxation effect is bullshit, and that Flashlights can not run for long he as inadvertently shown what a scam the ELFE really is.

Summary (Updated)
[/color]Right now, its a good brightness and can be used as a torch.
At 6pm (30 hr mark) last night I could only describe the brightness as dull. It looked like the torch wouldn't keep going much longer. At the 35 hour mark it suddenly lurched brighter. During the night it got even brighter.
But tonight, 24 hours later, it is a different story, its going very well and not looking at all dull.[/size]

I believe this torch is going to easily see out 72 hours. Its already beating Ray's Elfe running time (49 hours) by a country mile. Yet the AAA's are one third the storage (800mAh as opposed to 2,600mAh) size of the Elfe. 12 LED's versus the Elfe's 1 LED.
By now it should have stopped running. Instead, during the night it got brighter. Right now it feels like it is not going to run out of power at all. The dullness has gone, the brightness is back.

WHY ? is the big question. There is no way this torch should be still running, let alone getting brighter. But it has, and has also increased its power intensity. Just what on earth is going on ??

I think (think, being the operative word) I have worked a few theories out as to just what is going on.
But it would be so wonderful to tell you without being attacked for daring to mention what it may be.
They are theories, and possibly outside the beloved laws of physics, you know the holy physics religion, that thou shell not dare think outside ?
It would be oh so nice to have thoughts without being attacked for them..

There are several factors which I believe are making the difference.
One I found quite accidentally. It involves the position the torch is in. Position X makes a big difference. I believe finding position X is why the torch went from dull to bright. It has remained bright ever since.
The Elfe testers are plonking their torch down just anywhere to charge. I no longer am. Have I found something important ? Maybe ! I think I have, but only time will tell.[/size]

I am starting to believe there is some reality about this Elfe torch. But also in the sense it doesn't have to be an Elfe torch at all. But it does have to be a certain sort of torch with certain features. Without them it won't work. Therein lies the secret ingredient/s. This is an everyday thing, nothing special about it at all, but if you know what it is, it makes all the difference as to whether this works or not.

But before I put my neck on the line, I am going to wait until it at least passes the 72 hour mark (or even further). Then I will have a lot more surety of this experiment and my thinking.[/size]
But if this torch reaches 72 hours then something very strange is going on. It ain't battery's running it anymore, but something else.[/size]

Lol - allcanadian was spot on with his FixTheWorld vs TK post, reminding us about the 'Faster Down the Wind' fiasco

Hold an LED flashlight head up to an illuminated regular LED kitchen spot (eg. Low-wattage replacement for Halogen GU10 spots) and you can get over 1.5V out of the head - enough voltage to (trickle?) charge a NiMH cell

ADGEX just forgot:-
a)  to mention leaving their flashlight on a South-facing window sill to recharge, LEDs facing the sun
b) to include the switch wiring which connects each cell across the LED head via a low-volt drop diode, when the flashlight is off

...they were SO near actually being able to produce a workable product - and they wouldn't have needed to charge a scam price - many more people would pay some extra to buy a flashlight that can recharge itself without needing an additional solar panel built in to the case

...er, didn't someone start a thread recently (before it got bombed by that Atom93 doofus), ' "That's not a knife, THIS is a knife!" ...er, OU flashlight'?  ;-)

I know the secret of the recharging of Campbell's batteries:

In the night, when he sleeps, a UFO is landing on the roof of his house, pathoskeptics accompanied by squadrons of ETs, and CIA and KGB agents break into his hi-tech laboratory, and secretly recharge his batteries. It is as simple as that.

The value for 'fully charged' would be > 28000.

Looks like "a nearly dead ordinary battery."

Where does that lead you back to?  Science understands the laws of induction.  People play with the laws of induction on this forum every day.  We can make measurements of the Earth's nearly static and unchanging magnetic field.  Put those two facts together and even if the flashlight had a giant 12-foot-diameter loop attached to it it still would be impossible for the flashlight to charge from the Earth's magnetic field.  Same logic applies to the fantasy of the Schumann resonance.

This is like when you get a call at home from some boiler room in India and they say it's Microsoft calling and they have detected that your computer has viruses.  My response to the poor workie is to say, "You are working for a criminal."  I repeat that as many times is required for them to hang up.
