Self Running Micro TPU, with closed loop.

@EMdevices
I have 3 running. One started at 9.17v, the other at 5.21v and the last at 7.66v. All 9v NIMH. They are still running good.

The one that started with 9.17 now is around 7.85 but it does not change at all. Good brightness and I have no idea the current consuption. The one with 7.66v is now using only 0.1ma and started at 1ma. I would say the brightness diminished a little bit but not much very stable so far. The third is inside a faraday cage and is a different design then the others.

I tried to upload pics but the site is not permitting.

Fausto.

@ Plengo,

Last night, I changed the coil a bit.

I'm using 60 feet of "garden wire" which is made of iron. It's sold in a nice coiled up bundle and I use that to replace the SSG coil (connecting to the C and E of the PNP) and I've got 2 x 5mm red led lit up. There's another 5mm blue led connected in series to the 2 red ones. All three are dimly lit up. Amp reading taken from the 9V battery is 0.005mA. Reading done off a 1mA meter.  It's almost no amp at all but the leds are lit.

It's been running for about 15 hours now without any drop in voltage (starting at 9.40V and it's still 9.40V now.

Maybe somebody like you can explain this? I just don't know what to make out of this circuit?

Oh boy. At that current level (0.005ma??) it should run "forever". No I can not explain it. I wrote my theory about it a few posts ago where the capacitance of the mosfet gate keeps it open and slowly diminish in level as time passes and as it does that the current between the source and drive goes so small and the LED goes down in brightness. What I dont understand still is why my batteries after so long running (since december 14) and the voltage seams to not be used up at all. It goes up and down. That's is the strangest thing for me.

May be is some chemical reaction in the battery that allows it to run so well for so long but eventually it will die (assumptions made here).

It could be that the coil is picking up some extra "energy" from the air/space where it sill feed slowly and "smally" (if that word exists) to the overall battery energy level. That's why I also have one running inside a Faraday's cage.

What is interesting is that if you remove the transistor and just connect things directly it will not work and if you connect the battery directly to the LED it will eventually die a slow death but it will die (I did that).

Fausto.

Is somebody familiar with this:

Can this produce overunity

@Plengo,

What I think I should do is to hard solder the circuit (my breadboard is not in it's best health after poking it with #20 wires) and there could be intermittent contact problems.

Once done, I'll set the circuit to run and see how long does it last? I'll set it in a corner and move on to Groundloop tesla switch....:-)

Cheers and thanks for introducing this fun circuit....:-)
