Stanley Meyer replication with low input power

Hi Jamie,
If the way I see your setup in the video is correct, transformer secondary is across the cell and nowhere else (except scope probe). Scope probe is at one leg of the secondary. Where is the other leg of the secondary being referenced to in relation to the scope probe? Probably just for waveform viewing only, the other leg of the secondary should be connected to scope ground.

Note also that with this setup (the way I understand  it) will pulse the cell with AC.

i'm not sure about ravi's but in the stanley meyer document they have to be in the same direction.....

Jamie,

I only see 3 wires hooked up to your transformer.  Don't you need a positive and ground lead to both windings?  They should be isolated grounds...

Also, check your transformer leads with an ohm meter to make sure there is no continuity between windings.  The magnet wire might have gotten nicked somewhere and is making contact.

Good work!

Correct

Power supply negative

I also expected to see an AC waveform out of the transformer. That's why I thought something isn't right.

[coil oriantations] have to be in the same direction
I didn't think about it  . This will cause a major issue won't it  .

Nope, there is four (see picture below)

check your transformer leads with an ohm meter
I did, but I think I'll check again, I got a 1000 volts on the secondary the first time I used it, maybe something sparked.

Thanks for the help everyone, it's appreciated.

This may be common knowledge but step up transformers are not uncommon and can be obtained readily for little to no cost.

For example:
An electric fence coil
An auto ignition coil
A microwave coil
A CRT flyback transformer (from a tv or monitor)

I would use one of the first two, that way you're guaranteed high voltage and no problems, with an auto ignition coil you can definitely go as high as 300 hertz safely... 9000 rpm's, x 8 cyls, / 4 stroke / 60 seconds = 300

Matter of fact, an ignition coil off a 2 stroke sport bike would be the best...
19,000 rpms, x 4 cylinders /  2 stroke / 60 seconds = 633 hertz

Does anyone know where to get choke coils?  Also, I have access to lots of computer power supplies and old UPS modules, anything of value I can dig off those?
