Coil self oszillating by inserting magnet

[Poit]

As far as I know it is not a TPU but it could possibly have some similarity in principle.  That's an interesting observation.  But I'm not sure it is anything other than a trick.  Having a second look at the video do you notice how suddenly the LED's turn on and then off?  I'm guessing it's more like a small coin cell taped inside the coil with a small reed switch.  If I had a deflection coil handy I'd try this even though I think it may be fake but I don't have any easily found at the moment.

thats exactly what I thought

it seems to show that magnets are pulsating , how could one check for that .

I believe that is what he showed in another video ...

The worm transformer seems quite interesting and seems to show OU.

@e2,

I have a few yolks, if some can provide detail as to wiring, I would be happy to try and replicate.

I can only make out the 2 leds, a capacitor and 25 turns of wire around the yolk.

Let me know eh.

Are you sure that is a magnet he is putting in the coil?  It almost looks like a tritium glow tube.

No it does not.
No by a long shot. I advise you to buy some glasses.
Just look at it. It is very clearly a screwdriver with a square neodymium magnet stuck to it.
A Tritium tube is a small glass cylinder that emits light. This does not resemble such a tube at all!
How you can even suggest it looks like a Tritium tube is beyond my comprehension.

Do you read Russian?  If he is really getting a current flow that way it is interesting but my first guess would be he's picking up something from under the table.  I don't like to assume anyone is faking a video but I don't see any other explanation at the moment but as easy as it would be to build you might give it a try.

Well he doesn't really make any effort to tell the viewer anything, does he?
The video just shows him holding a neo magnet near a very specific spot of what looks like
some sort of coil wrapped in tape, and a LED lighting up while he holds the neo there.
With zero explanation, zero comment, and zero attempt to show us what he's actually
got, what the coil looks like, etc.
Since it looks like it doesn't really matter in what exact orientation the magnet is held,
as long as it is held near the spot at the bottom of the taped-in contraption, I get the feeling
the guy is not really showing us any energy extraction from the magnet at all.
That, combined with the fact that the entire thing we assume to be a coil is covered in tape
and we can't see what's under the tape, and the entire lack of excited comments,
leads me to conclude that it is most likely a hoax.
To build something that lights up a LED when a magnet is held close to it is easy;
just like the guys above said, all one would really need is a small button battery and a
Reed switch hidden underneath the layer of tape, and anyone can make a LED light up
by holding a magnet close to it.

Where did whoever started this thread get the title "self-oszillating"?
Where did you get the idea there is any oscillating going on at all?
