Self Running Micro TPU, with closed loop.

[ilangiat]

@ plengo @all

i have a replication that works

made of
96 meter of bifilar 0.6+1mm, 25cm inner circumference(900g!?)
2907 transistor and irf840 mosfet
(started)5 white LEDs and 2 red ones

after installing new battery last night, today morning i saw the battery on 6.29, so i took 2 white LEDs out, and sadenly it drived up to 6.31, i couldent beleave it, so i waited until now (2230)and it raized up to 7.05, so lets see what will be in the morning (looking for my camera)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi Groundloop

I know it's hard to believe but I've double checked the circuit and it's as I drew it, the battery stayed stable for over 8 hours when I posted but in the morning I found it to be down to less than half the voltage down from 7.5 to 3.5V.  I made some changes to the original led's in the circuits layout with only 2 LED from 5 plus a couple of changes in the other diodes in the positive and negative connections and it's been running for over 6 hours now at 3.5 Volts without going down, I'll let it run overnight again and see where its at tomorrow.

Don't ask me why but this circuit doesn't behave as it should, after reading some previous posts on the micro tpu where someone mentioned an LED that was installed backwards in the circuit and still worked, I've purposely switched diodes backwards to what they should be and the circuit still runs???  I think that there maybe some leakeage in these breadboards that allows things to happen that shouldn't or that there is something else going on.

I'm attaching a close up picture but unfortunately my camera is only a run of the mill and doesn't take very good close ups, I hope you can see the first pin (PIN 1) is connected to the positive of the battery, PIN 2 is going to the positive lead of the first diode which is also connected to the first side of the coil, that same coil conductor is then going to PIN 3 of the FET. 

I hope that I'm not throwing more variables into this thread than was necessary as that was not my intention, I just had the FET lying around and no other PNP transistors to try so I took several approaches until it worked and after seeing run for such a long time I decided to show it in case it was something of interest.

Speaking of which, I'm off to get some more transistors tomorrow to try and properly replicate Plengo's original and later designs but this configuration sure is strange.

Thx, Paul

Well I think that the only reason for the led to run regardless of the direction it is inserted is becuase the output power is ac.
Tell me what you think, but for this to happen woulndt ground have to go positive.  Which is possible, there is no diode on the cap energy source.

This thread seams to be dying BUT not my LEDs. Some more pictures of the same thing. Note the dates written down and brightness on some of them. They have been separeted and not touched by anything since I started posting about them.

I kind of even need the coil that is used by the brightest, but you know, I love science so I will keep it there running until it dies its hopefull death. I am as puzzled as you guys are why this babies are still running. I know, I need 30 more days (or 500+ hours), but If I get that I KNOW someone will say, not OU here, it is just a very powerfull battery.

I think there are two ways to look at things: one is the conventional, impossible to be broken and we ALL are right. THe second one is, jeee, this thing does not fit in the conventional, it must be a , a, a, let's say, a simple deviation.....

Well, I love science and the Thruth, so I will keep posting the pics until they either, DIE or LIVE. Let's see how long it will take. One of them is very bright I tell you. It is good to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and see those little, tinny little lights making the room bright (and bothering my wife) for free (or almost free).

BTW, thank you guys for this wonderfull forum (Thank you Hartiberlin). I must be a little bit drunk now. 

Fausto.

ps: Each one is a different design. Only one has been published (the brightest).

@ Fausto:

I must commend you on your efforts.  This is really amazing!!!  Already, even if you don't make it to 500 hours, you have proven something.  That one set of leds is very bright! If this turns out to be "just" an efficient battery circuit, it has to be, at this point, the most effiecient battery circuit I have ever even read or heard about.  And, if still on after 500 hours....?  Then someone needs to re-write some text books I think.  Very well done indeed.
