Nice Job Slayer, that tower is A out all kinds of high frequency waves. 

You're getting lots of power at good distance....it is still amazing to me that this exciter circuit can turn anything into a battery so to speak.

How did your self running tests come out?

Thanks Stprue

Not so good, It was kinda hit and miss.
Some times it would self run and some times I just couldn't get it to self run.

When it was self running I couldn't really get any work out of it anyway.

I haven't totally given up on it yet just needed a little brake from it.

Don't worry Slayer, I feel the same lately, no inspiration, no building, just watching and waiting to get the drive back.

Here my findings so far concerning sine waves on a secondary L3 in a Joule Thief type circuit:

- use an air core with a diameter between 100 and 300 mm (I know this is big, but you then do not need that many turns for L3, may be 150 to 400 turns); 0.2 or 0.3 mm diameter enamelled wire; thinner wire is very difficult to handle and thicker wire needs a lot of space and more turns

- start with winding the secondary L3 on the cardboard or plastic tube; I put a strip of double sided sticky tape on the tube to hold the windings while I wind (with a primitive hand winding station I built)

- on one end of the secondary L3 you wind L1 + L2 over L3; either bifilar or center tapped (I put a piece of paper on L3 to protect it when winding L1 + L2 over it)

- use very few turns for L1 + L3 (may be 6 to 9)

- use an adjustable base resitore (0 to 10 K with a safety 100 Ohm) and set it to 2 to 4 K Ohm, the sine wave will have several hundred Kilo Hertz (I have seen 700 KHz, easily 400 KHz)

- the voltage of the sine wave on L3 will be rather low (may be 60 to 120 Volt); when you decrease the base resistor, the voltage over L3 will go up, the frequency will go down rapidly and the sine wave becomes more like spikes ringing down

- when you see sine waves on L3 the consumed power will be rather low (may be 40 to 100 mA) because the base resistor will be high (2 to 4 KOhm)

- what I said is for a 1 to 2 Volt power supply, if you use higher supply voltages (e.g. 6 Volt to 12 Volt) frequency will go down, voltage on L3 goes up fast, the sine wave becomes spikes and transistor and base resistor overheat within seconds


An experimenter calling himself slayer007 has an interesting circuit which I will explore soon (when I get bored with my air cores on the basic Joule Thief circuit):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU_HeCr8BTM (Slayer explains his circuit at the beginning of the video, therefore it is a video as I like them, because I can understand what Slayer is doing in the video)

But I see that you also follow the thread http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=8977.45 GBluer (Slayer) Exiter.

What I would like is a modification of the latest Slayer circuit to avoid radiation. I want 1500 Volt to go by two wires into a CFL or neon with high frequency (may be 200 to 500 KHz, or even Mega Hertz). The wireless transmission of power is interesting but not yet for the average home.

From what I have seen, the basic Joule Thief circuit is very good for a 1 Volt power supply (a single or two AAA or AA batteries in series) but becomes critical (concerning overheating of the components) when using a power supply with higher voltage (4 Volt and higher, definitely with 12 Volt). Slayer has found I nice way with his adjustable capacitor to make a 12 to 18 Volt power supply possible. May be one can adapt this idea to the basic Joule Thief circuit.

A 12 Volt Battery charged by a solar panel with a high frequency Joule Thief type circuit lighting a CFL brightly could be useful. Some sort of emergency lamp or free energy lamp. The 12 Volt battery and the air core coil would be rather big, but for a stationary lamp that would not matter much.

I know, one can turn 12 Volt into 110 or 220 Volt with a commercially available converter, but that converter wastes power and is no fun (and it also "screeches" or "sings").

Sorry, my latest post should have gone into the Joule Thief thread, but may be it also fits in this thread.

@ Slayer007

I hope you keep working on your circuit because it seems to be a promissing way forward from the basic Joule Thief circuit. The big advantage is its high frequency (to avoid screeching), but for practical applications I fear a bit its "radiation" (although this radiation of energy is of course a very interesting thing).

I understand that you are interested in the "over unity aspects", but I also see potential for a very effective way of using "electricity" to light up gas discharge lamps (FLs, CFLs and Neons). Lots of light with little input is already something (even if it is not over unity).

This is good hmmmmmm
