Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

Hi Hoppy, I have never investigated the effect with LEDs too much,
as I just found it a curiosity that I see sometimes. I sometimes use two
LEDs back to back (anode to cathode and vice versa) in parallel when testing for resonant
frequencies on coils connected to earth ground and that sort of thing. In these cases it is just
quite low power using a signal generator to sweep for resonant frequencies. The LEDs can be connected
to a secondary winding with one side earth grounded, or sometimes I place them in series
in between the earth ground wire and a coil as a visual indicator when tuning for prominent resonances.

What I noticed is that sometimes at some very specific frequencies the LEDs will start pulsing or fluttering
sometimes just a little and sometimes very strongly. Sometimes slowly and sometimes very fast.
In some cases it may just be some sort of beat frequency effect due to reflected waves in the earth ground wire
or similar, but in some cases the pulsing seems to have a life of its own. Sometimes just changing frequency by 1 kHz
or less can make it appear or disappear.

You will probably be more likely to see it if you use a pulse waveform of lower duty cycle,
although I believe it also happens sometimes when using a sinewave. I just tried a quick setup
connecting the red lead of a signal generator output set to a pulse waveform  to one end of an
air core coil, and placing two back to back parallel LEDs in series with the other end of the coil
and my earth ground wire, and got some fairly prominent but steady fluttering on the LEDs at exactly 450 kHz.
It would only flutter on exactly that frequency. I then swapped the coil out with another coil wound on a ferrite
core and the fluttering continued about the same. In this case the fluttering may not have been
due to a beat frequency effect, but may be some odd effect with the LEDs them self. The other day it was different
with the fluttering coming and going seemingly randomly. I haven't tried this with higher powered
LED bulbs and driving with higher power AC waveforms, so I don't know if it will happen with
just any kind of LED or LED bulb. I have been using clear (white) large size LEDs in my testing.

It is just a curiosity for me at this point, but sometimes the fluttering is very strong so it is kind of odd.
The fluttering can vary from very slowly in some cases, to very fast like maybe 10 or 20 times a second.
Unfortunately video cameras either don't pick up that kind of fluttering at all, or you can just barely make
it out in the video that there is some fluttering, even though it appears very prominent to the eye. I suspect
that in some cases at least it is just an oddity of the way LEDs work, but in other cases it may possibly be
due to some odd pumping or beat frequency effect in the ground wire or circuitry. I am not sure.

Hoppy I know what he is talking about I found a circuit on Don Smiths Site with a NE555 it was a bit crap as the 555 is limited to about 455 Khz as he said it's better with a signal gen It's suspect if it's free energy though as leds don't need much power to light them, regarding the coil it would be better if you wound the coil on a tube like a Tesla coil and when finished sand paper down the one side and tap into it as you have a big and better bandwidth to pay with you might then find you earth resonant frequency easy

Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed description of your setup Void. It may be worthwhile doing the same experiment using higher powered signal drive with small low voltage / low powered filament lamps, to see if the pulsing is just a feature of LED's.

Hi Hoppy. Yes, I may look into more one of these days. If the fluttering is identified
with LEDs on a certain frequency in a certain configuration, the power could be stepped up
and small filament bulbs tried in place of the LEDs to see if the effect still occurs. LEDS act
like a capacitance to some extent at higher frequencies, so replacing them directly with
a filament bulb may require some frequency retuning as the characteristics would be different.
By the way, the frequency that the pulsing can occur at can be at different frequencies, depending
on the exact setup. Sometimes in the lower kHz range and sometimes at much higher frequencies.

I hate to be a kill joy but TinselKoala did an article on this subject back in the thread 'yonks ago using a HEF4046 PLL it's a way of a AR novice with no test equipment to find the approx resonant frequency of tuned coils (note in circuit this might very well go lower) I have on my desk a Tesla coil with over 800 turns of copper wire I have connected 2 RED LEDS via a signal gen it RESONATES at 1.8 Mhz approx if I bring an earth any where near it I lose it's tuned frequency possibly because of earth leakage via the signal generators earth, but also does the same with a capacitor coupling but since we have an Aerial here the signal sauce would be our earth connecting an earth to the coil would and does short circuit our inductive device.

This idea is really from the the RF Amateur radio thread assuming there is one. However perhaps you could publish a circuit and or photograph of your device to show others and share your findings, if that is humanly possible.
