Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

@All,
Please take care as some LEDs ( specially the blue ones ) can emit UV light which can damage your eyes permanently.

All LEDs can hurt the eyes to some extent because of the energy delivered, especially the high mcd ones, regardless if they are in visible or invisible spectrum.

Let's hope everyone heeds your words of caution...

Instead of making a simple in series chain of all same polarity facing diodes (LEDS), try making a series "AV" plug from the LEDS themselves.

That is, bypass the signal diodes altogether, kill off the capacitor in the AV circuit if your using one, they are not needed, and instead connect one end of the secondary to a series of "AV LEDS" which is simply one LED facing one direction in parallel with another LED in the opposite direction. 2 LEDS in opposite direction make an "AV LED". Now simply hook up as many of these "AV LED" pairs in series as you can. I have 50 Leds making up 25 "AV LEDS" and the interesting thing to note is, each pair of LEDS adds to the total brightness of all the other LEDS as the plug chain grows with each added "AV LED" pair. At the end of the chain is a 20 cm piece of wire.

hoptoad,

pretty interesting idea, this way we take the energy directly off the single wire before it is converted, but just to confirm here's a schematic?

@Dr. Stiffler,

do you know where I could find the "L1 2.2uH, Core Diameter 6.49mm Coil Width 2.80mm Wire 0.58mm enamal coated"?

And one super stupid question: how can I find the uH of a coil with regular tools such as multimeter, osciloscope?

Fausto.

I have been using this AV LED setup for quit a while now but the reason I was using was only because of the AC of the FuncGen. I also notice that with this device it does behave very weirdly. No matter how you connect the LEDs somehow I still have current in the middle of all of them and some voltage.

One more interesting thing that happened was I was trying to see if this electricity would conduct through water and guess what happened? Electrolisis. Not that this is something special ( I have been watching john Aaron at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT1zudn-yTM for quit sometime now) it is that I got electrolisis with only 100ma, thats another story all together.

Aaron get his hydrogen using 12v with 10 Amps and I am getting, off course a lot of less hydrogen, with only 20v 100ma. There is something special about what kind of wire I am using too and its physical shape. I posted a video about it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDCWaSFnSkg.

Fausto.

ps: purchasing LEDs on ebay from this guys in China is absolutely the cheapest I ever seen. 100 LEDs 15000 mcd for only $1 dollar plus $12 shipping and also 100 LEDs 5mm Red or Blue or White 5000mcd for again $1 and $6 shipping. Isn' that unreal? on jamenco was about $1.80 per LED!!!

2 LEDS in opposite direction make an "AV LED". Now simply hook up as many of these "AV LED" pairs in series as you can.

Well, it will probably also work, if you don?t have a connection bridge after every 2 LEDs,
so 2 long rows of antiparallel LEDs in series.
