Single AA battery to light WHITE LED for long-long time

[magnetoelastic]

This is very similar to the type of circuit in an 'analog' quartz watch.  The battery pulses a coil, that turns the hands.  A tiny button battery can run one for over a year.

OU?

no!

Groundloop, I missed that spectrum analysis!    Wow !!   Very exciting.  Harmonics in megahertz?/?  muhahahahhaa

@magnetoelastic

Bedini circuits are OU.  This is based upon Bedini circuit.   But you are right.  To really prove this properly, we need to figure out how to run it using capacitors.

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline!

@magnetoelastic,

Nobody in this thread has claimed that this circuit is a o/u device.

What is special with this circuit is the ability to light up a LED that normally
need a much higher voltage than 1,2 Volt.

Yeah, I agree.  We don't know if it's OU .   But strange enough to warrent ... EXPERIMENTS!!!    



*EDIT:  @groundloop
Just an interesting note....

I took the over harmonics and divided by base frequency in your circuit:
2Mhz / 62500hz = 32
4Mhz / 62500hz = 64

Could these be artifacts or are they real?  In music, these overtones would be 5 and 6 octaves above the fundamental.

@Feynman,

The spectrum analyzer could have picked up other stuff, I admit that. My computer, wireless telephone, adsl modem etc. can also affect the antenna. So don't take the scan as 100% proof of over harmonic oscillations. I will check better next time I measure. For now the circuit is running well and I want to let it run until the LED goes out. Then I can change battery and do another scan of the circuit.
