   Here's some pics of the bulbs that I'm using. I got the round led 120v reflector spot light bulb to light off of capacitance. It's ready for the crystal oscillator circuit.

   The filament bulb lights the brightest, (bang to the buck), but I can only make it light with a single wire connection to it, to one side of the filaments. It's a 40w equilavent, and it lights quite bright.

Hi NickZ. is any schematic of crystal oscillator circuit ?

thanks

Hi all, i realized this morning, that the utilitech led tube lamp is actually 3 series strings of 26 leds wired in parallel, printed on a fairly thick aluminum strip.
So i cut them to make 3 nice led strips.

These might work well for the stiffler experiments, with the aluminum back plate.

They are also very efficient, rated at 114 lumens per watt.

The led strip lighted is 24 leds, because i cut off the circuitry on the ends and a couple leds went with it.
It is blinding bright for around .5 watts input.
peace love light

Nick - that's one of those Dendera bulbs from Egypt 
It looks great, with the warm glow.

uV - TK's video was great, the way that the photo-transistor followed the output exactly.
Perhaps it could also be a wave shaping method on an output, to remove or introduce edges. 

SkyWatcher - The strips seem similar to LED automotive bulbs. Have got a couple of headlight bulbs here where there are about 100 LED's on the things. I cut strips off them. Years ago I used to go to Dollar Tree to get closet push lights that had 3x 5mm LED's on them and now for not much more there are those automotive LED's !



Side track:
Am glad that the crystal circuit is being built by others, It's easy to make and i'm thinking that if something efficient to the Doc's principles can be built for lighting, a crystal would effectively 'hard code' a frequency of that operation for replications. Ideally 13.6MHz, yet it all has to be worked out with some flexibility based on results so far. We all could perhaps tweak and improve something with known values.
I'm not versed well enough to fully expand the idea yet, but, the overview is a circuit where the output coil(s) are tuned to the crystal frequency. The circuit has a sensible but limited wireless field around a desk lamp. Other devices/objects/circuits can be powered similarly to if they were using solar cells around the lamp. No antennas or bulky coil pickups...more like Qi, with a simple pancake coil and multiple SMD diode array.
Can it ever charge a phone ? not with the requirement of >450mA for smartphones, but it may well be able to power a lot of other handy gadgets such as calculators, LCD games, small fans and AA chargers. Standardised, where things are thrown near the lamp and they just work.   

Another thought is about Home Automation away from WiFi and Bluetooth.
A switch box could be plugged in to the wall mains. Inside, it has a step-down circuit to 5V (so could have a couple of USB outputs as secondary function). The box has several switches on the front, relating to lamps or other devices in the house. Flick a switch and the crystal circuit for a set value is started up. That frequency goes down the mains wiring and somewhere in the house a plugged in device begins to oscillate because of that frequency. Its circuit runs.
Usage example would be going to the toilet at night. Flick just 1 switch in the bedroom and 3 different lights come on to light the way to the bathroom.
If there are 6 switch frequencies, they could be known as 1,2,3,4,5,6. All devices with a 3 written on them switch on when the 3 switch is in operation. All '1' devices may use a 20V step-up driver from the switch box and would be used for lighting lamps similar to the Doc's Cree board.
The need for specific resonance conditions then works to our favour, locking out the other devices.
Anything plugged in to wall sockets only needs to be connected to 1 pin, making the whole thing far safer than traditional mains outlets.
A scavenger circuit could remove fears of electro smog being unhealthy in the house, doubling as a power indicator light as it soaks up excess field energies.
Also important, only the switch box is actually mains powered.

It was given before, but here's my version of the Simple Crystal Oscillator. I used a BC337-25 transistor, also tested it with a VHF transistor, MPSH10, which also worked well but didn't have the amplitude of the 337. I think just about any NPN would work in this circuit.

The original circuit made a signal but didn't have the ability to really drive anything. I added a 74c14 hex Schmitt trigger inverter and ran the SCO's output through 3 of the inverter stages, which helped to square up the signal and make it capable of actually driving some small load (like a mosfet driver or a transistor). The inverter is pretty slow though so this version only works best for lower frequencies. I also added some bulk capacitance at the power entry point, which also helped to clean up the waveforms, both before and after the Schmitt trigger inverter stages.

Yellow is SCO output before Schmitt trigger stages, blue is after.  Input is about 6.5 volts from a regulated PSU.

What do you mean the the 74 series chip is slow ?  how slow here i have a CMOS chip CD4060 with a 13.4Mhz chip it's fast I found this
in looking for 432hz multiples up to 1.3 mhz region, even a 4011 will clap away at 15mhz easy all with a 8volt power rail, you might not be so lucky
with if using older stock.

This old bulb of Nick's they remind me of some of the old junk that worked of DC from years a go now you can get them in hard ware stores allover.
I was called a Beretta voltage dropper. I had a knowledgeable grandfather if any ones asking.
