"Quantum Receiver".

It may be time to move down to the basement.

plug and plug schematic;  try and connect the coil to an aluminum plate, and retest the plug.

There are also commercial 13.56 MHz antennas available, for RFID applications, like this one:

I wonder why nobody detected any strange effects with this frequency, when it is so widely used in the industry.

100 of these for only $12
We could build one hell of a receiver


Have you considered that the power might be coming from our own human transmissions?

I'm sorry you went ahead with thick insulated wire. I didn't realize what you were up to in time. It was a mistake to use insulated wire on the coil. Insulation kills the resonance. Magnet wire is essential.

The method i used to measure the resonance (ringing the coil with a square wave) does not only show the SRF, it also shows the Q factor (how fast is the resonant oscillation decaying). I didn't see any significant difference between my magnet wire coils, and the other coils with the thicker insulated wire. However, there is a difference: the gaps between the windings are much tighter with magnet wire, this means that the capacitance between the windings is much higher.

But i have another doubt: the coils in the Lidmotor and DrStiffler videos can not have a SRF of 13.x MHz. That's completely impossible. I started with coils of similar dimensions, and their SRF was FAR below 13 MHz. I think the DrStiffler/Lidmotor coils had their SRF on a subharmonic of 13.xx MHz, maybe 1/2 or even 1/3 of this frequency.

This is a 60 watt Cree board; Look at the Avramenko plug connected to the Cree board on the left in the schematic. All the diodes are connected in series end to end with a 1 Ohm resistor between the diodes for power measurement.


The L-3 coil runs a 1 Ohm resistor between the SG electrode and the coil to the back plate of the Cree board, connecting all the LED grounds..


No electrical connections, but Dr. Stiffler is powering the equivalent of a 60 Watt bulb!
