@all

Have a look at this video !

@Slayer.Hi.I thought your last vid was great and the fact that the leds are still lighting dimly may suggest there is something going on as something is lighting them and if its not cap bounce then you may have something.
You say that the oscilloscope was contributing too if not causing the effect.Will the oscilloscope lead that you had connected to your circuit light an led on an av plug?
@Morepoweregor.Hi.Thankyou so much for posting those Eric Dollard vids.I watched them all and will watch them again no doubt and found them fascinating and the fact that he has experimented with  tesla's longitudinal waves and transmitted them through the ground great distances is a reason for us all to continue our experiments and one day we may be free from the grid.
Your plasma globe vid was great too.The spark gap is the key to extracting the energy required to light a filament bulb and i think if we can introduce spark gaps into our experiments with slayers exciter, we may see more great things happening.
@Woopy.I increased my voltage to 12v and am getting a great plasma arc like you and going through a fair amount of transistors but they are not blowing whilst its running,its when you switch it off and they catch a spike so i wil try reducing the voltage before i turn off.Is this what you are finding?Jonny

Hi Jonny

Haven't done any follow up experiments yet, busy reading and thinking.

My focus is the linkage between this groups exciter experiments, the Kapanadze thread and resonance.

I want to gain a better understanding of resonance and how at seems to magnify. Tesla coil builders are using resonance to great effect, problem is the tuning to harness this effect seems to be a black art requiring years of work.

I've starting to aproach reasonace from an angle that I don't think anyone's looked at yet across this forum.  Induction Heating!

It's looks the same as a tesla coil  - a tank circuit primary, with a secondry that's just a lump or metal that gets hot.  The advantage that I find is that I can hook up multimeters and a scope (which is a bit of a non starter with a Tesla coil) and see what going on inside the primary.  I've done a few simple experiments where I get an LC parallel circuit into resonance and the effect is clear to see.  The input current drops right off and the current circulating between the coil and cap goes up.  You can also see the waveform across the cap change from a mess to a neat sinewave.  To me this aproach is simplifying the learning curve.

This guy's website got my attention:
http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/indheat.html

He's got SPICE model plots at resonance that show input energy of almost  zero, with huge amounts of energy circulating between the cap and coil.

After watching the videos, seeing Slayer lighting LEDs from the floor and hearing about Teslas field of lights, I think what your working on is a done deal.

Lot's more stuff to post, but got to get some proper work done now!

I'm based on Somerset by the way!

Egor.

@Lidmotor, Good evening!

I just saw your latest video on Youtube about the Slayer Exciter hooked up to a Joule Thief (also about plastic coated steel twist tie wire):

http://www.youtube.com/user/Lidmotor#p/u/0/F7v4vTrQFYk

Attached is a drawing depicting the circuit as I understood it. Did I get it right?

What I want to do, is a Joule Thief type Circuit that drives a CFL with about 1200 Volt at a frequency of 100 - 200 KHz.

I could build a Joule Thief with a 42 mm Toroid that achieves 1200 Volt on a secondary (standard Joule Thief circuit with a 170 turn secondary on the toroid) and drives a CFL nicely, but it swings with about 6 KHz and people with good hearing are annoyed by a piercing sound coming from the circuit (also pets do not like it). Therefore I think one should go to an air coil, which can swing with a higher frequency.

Your idea of hooking up a Slayer Exciter to a Joule Thief caught my attention in this context.

One could run a Joule Thief with a rather high frequency by using only a few bifilar turns on a little toroid (and by avoiding the many turn secondary which would lower the frequency very much). I guess that 200 KHz are possible. The high Voltage would then be achieved on the tower coil which is driven by the pan cake coil taking the place of the LED in parallel to the collector - emitter of the transistor (as you show in your video).

Could one get 1200 Volt out of your hook up? And how high was the frequency of your hook up?

The Slayer Exciter circuit (as published by Slayer007 on 2-18-2010) could of course be used to drive a CFL with very high frequency, but I am a bit worried about the electromagnetic radiation coming of the big tower coil (and on many other points in the circuit). Therefore your hook up of a Slayer Exciter type tower coil with a pancake primary in a basic Joule Thief looks very good to me. The frequency will not be in the range of Megahertz (prone to radiating), but still much higher than sound waves (e.g. 200 KHz).

Could one avoid a lot of electromagnetic radiation by connecting the CFL to the tower coil as I depicted in the drawing?

@Slayer007, Good Evening too!

May be you have some ideas! I see from your latest videos on YouTube that you are very interested in radiating power to other tower coils in the room. I would like a modification of your Slayer Exciter, so that very little is radiated away and that all the power from the big tower coil goes to one CFL? Having a rather big tower coil next to a CFL does not bother me, it would be a nice design feature catching the attention of onlookers.

Greetings, Conrad

Conrad:

I have used a neo magnet, a very strong neo, on my toroids to raise the freq.  it does raise it quite a bit although I can't measure just how much on my scope.

I did it originally to raise the freq. high enough so you can't hear the squeal any more and this does do that.  I talk about it it in my video of my Lidmotor/Jeanna light replication.

This probably will not get it up to the freq. you are looking for but it is a good trick to raise it some unknown amount.
