Joule Ringer!

You sure on those numbers?

I am extremely impressed!

Penno . Yes i am sure on the led bulbs it is very low .and i have the pot cap i put on here all the way to 4 k (using 4 kpot) it auto starts my led bulbs but i only run one at a time on this small voltage . Now  filament bulbs are sucking power like 500ma with  the pot cranked all the way to 0 ohms and i can back it off just a bit to glow it and its 300 ma any more and i cant see it glow . I am not messing with  this one any more and i have two fat rods i wrapped and one it doing great at 5 volts . I am probably going to case that one too .

Well, I finally got a video up with waveforms and measurements.
I am nowhere near the performance of gadgetmall! That is superior, congratulations.

I'm exploring a high-power operation mode, although it will light neon down to very low battery voltage if I use only a 220R base resistor. But it's doing some weird stuff, frequency-wise.

I'm still not convinced that the rod ferrite is totally necessary.... but then, I can't light my CFL quite as bright as it should be, either....


However, I am at least starting to fry some components....

(huh? Four views before I even posted a link?? Should I be expecting a visit from the MiBs soon?)

So TK .That was an impressive presentation.  We have created a Current and voltage amplifier ? I am wondering if a ring's ability is somehow different that a rod's ? One thing i wonder about i haven't tried is, is there any usable voltage on the ends of the rod .Like a wire . unlike a tube or a ring .
In order for those cfls to fire you have to get the filaments inside the cfl tube glowing enuff to vaporize the mercury drop .  This will allow the hv circuit at the cfl base to connect that gas and fire that thing off bright. This is most exciting  stuff to fire cfls unmodified . way cool . I think you will find that the surface area of the ferrite does make the difference it helping current radiate thru to the secondary . I believe if we had a 6 inch wide rod 5 feet long  could power a house winding it with #12 and using #8 as the primary .....hey i can dream . . I wonder if i can wrap graphite rods . I have several one inch thick and two feet long .. any thoughts on why graphite won't work?

I am going to try it with a smaller one 1 foot long and see if it does anything .

Syncro1. I said 40 watt led . that is not correct . It produces the lumen's of a 40 watt bulb but it takes actually 7 actual watts . my other bulb with 50 led takes 12 watts  in a house socket . I have been lighting led bulbs unmodified for a very long time off my large toroidal power unit with a c cell battery for 3-5 days so this is nothing new to me but lighting cfls and incandescence certainly is off 1.5 volts . My tpu can light any led screw in bulb with 1.2 volts and current in it is 12 ma so it is much more efficient that these LS3 are in doing that .
I measure current with my meter in series with  the battery  I do not use a resistor and the way i do it does not seem to affect the operation of my circuits . .

Gadgetmall,

                  A rough calculation puts your COP at >1000xO.U. That's a thousand times overunity! This factor would make Nuclear Fission and every other type of energy generation obsolete. This would amount to no small accomplishment! This has me really wondering if your measurements are accurate? I'm hopeing your right.

Thanks to LS for simplifying everything, now it is so simple yet still more powerful and fun! I would like to replicate too. I did a simulation in LTSpice first and it seems that only if the coils are hooked up in the way below (note the dot notation in the circuit diagram).


In plain words, if the coils are wound in the same direction, then the dotted ends denote the starting ends of both coils (or the ending ends of both coils); if wound in different direction, then the dotted ends denote a starting end of one coil and the ending end of another.
