Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

Hi Stefan,

Not sure exactly how to use this site, bit rusty.  Here is a photo of my first try at this.  I'm attaching a photo, learning here.  15 LED's, show about 27V @ 3 ma in the circuit.  Note red and black lead at top, that is from sig. gen.  Notice only red lead connected.  No ground anywhere in circuit.  It is pretty well what the Good Doctor specified.

Hi Ben,

very nice, but have you tried this without the ground lead from the signal generator being so close to the board and to the main red lead?

In my experiments I have noticed that they can interfere with each other and produce anomalous unwanted effects which are not indicative of the true state of the circuit, or it's intended operation.

Just wondering...

Hi Ben,
many thanks for the pictures.
Looks great and also the new picture from Ron.

Ben, what, if you just use 2 LEDs instead of the 1N914 diodes ?

Operation is severely reduced.  You can drive LED's directly as in a AV plug but this circuit works differently than that in the RF front end

Does it also work for you as it did for me ?

What, if you just drive the ferrite "transformer" directly without the
choke and cap before it ?

Without the L/C network driving the Ferrite "Transformer", it works very poorly.  That coil/cap. is very important if you look at what happens to the high impedance input waveform.

What frequency works best for you ?

It totally depends on the resonance of the circuit, my circuit using the coil/cap that I had in my junk box resonates @ around 5.3 Mhz. I also get considerably more output using a square wave rather than a sine wave but both work. I realize my homemade "ferrite" transformer is an abomination (forgive me Dr. Stiffler) but AM ferrite coils ordered off Ebay have not arrived and will not arrive for a few days so make do with what I have)

I just moved it to a woden chair 3 feet from the signal generator and am feeding it with two 2' clip leads in series, (see photo) works the same.  Had to tweek the frequency a few Khz.
There is obviously anomalous couplings in this device relative to large mass objects (our bodies, etc) and is to be expected I think.

@Ben

Great work. It looks like you have the free ends of the coils plugged into connector strips. You might want to pull them out and let then float. The capacity between then thru the board will kill some of your power. Holding a neon on the secondary while tuning thru the freq. range will show you the HV point.
Normally the more leds you use the better it likes it and allows the voltage to climb across the coil.

Darn, I almost missed and your post, went back up to get better idea what is going on.  Your suggestion to let the ends float.  Just pulled them out after the last picture I posted, retuned, considerably more output!!!!!  The impedance in that front end is HIGH! You are also correct on the more LED's in series, the more the better! My junk box only had red ones! I look forward to your Video #9!!!!!

Thanks

Thank you for the test, no doubt in my mind now that I have done something at the time that caused interference to happen.

Would be funny if some day it proves that we (our bodies, beings) are the key to everything and causing all kinds of things to happen
