More new info. on the safety pin magnet motor.It turns out that the safety pins work better than the paper clips because when closed the safety pins function as a closed loop of one turn(its a coil everybody).As it turns in a magnetic field a current flows through it.A paper clip may or may not be closed. But that means a straight wire will never work.Its not closed.triffid

**************************
woopy, voltage in your copper foil setup (when measured across opposite endpoints of different coils) could be increased. Now the primary coil is between the coil capacitor and distance between plates is thus made larger. Voltage is maximized when distance between charged surfaces is minimized (Coulomb's law). So the primary coil should be wound on top of coil capacitor to get maximum voltage. Winding the coil capacitor on a coil former so that there are several layers would increase the output even more. Lowering the duty cycle would also increase the output since there would be more time for the charge to move freely in the coil capacitor. You could make a coil capacitor from the primary and try capacitive pulsing at some stage. Look how the current oscillations change in the output. This would be a very interesting scope shot to see. This test gives the best result when the entire length of the energy collecting coil capacitor is covered with pulsing coil capacitor, see wistiti's way of doing it. I understand now why pulsing using coil capacitor works. When capacitor is charged the current flow is at maximum in the beginning of charge cycle and it decreases exponentially. To maximize the induction effect current flow should be stopped as soon as possible. This means that a short pulse gives the best result when using coil capacitor for pulsing, so low mark space ratio should be used. This gave the idea of using a coil capacitor based Joule Thief to create pulses.

Voltage oscillation in the coil capacitor is caused by the movement of charge back and forth in the coils. This oscillation is initiated by the drive pulse. The voltage oscillation has tubular waveform as there is no inductance to slow it down. Note how the voltage oscillation starts over when the next pulse occurs: voltage and current waveforms are identical during every pulse. The waveforms are in phase but there is no resonant rise. In this setup the resonant frequency is high and the sine wave width is shorter than the drive pulse width. So each pulse prevents resonant rise to occur: drive pulse lasts too long and it prevents the output coil capacitor from ringing fully. Lowering the duty cycle of the drive pulse will fix this problem. Or make the resonant frequency lower using more turns in the coil capacitor so that drive pulse width will be shorter than sine wave width. Be careful here that you don't accidentally get resonance as your input pulse voltage is way too high at the moment. Use of signal generator would be the safest way to start resonance experiments. Dog One got 220 volt peak to peak pulses using 5 volt input pulses without resonance with his air cored 1:1 ratio 100 kHz setup. This clearly indicates the Coulomb's law in action in a coil capacitor systems.

Not exactly sure about your test setup, did you use diodes or air gaps ? If there were no blocking diodes in your test then you could retest with diodes in place: --<-- load -->-- , and then measure voltage drop across load. This should be zero as the diodes block charge. If not zero then it should be significantly less than voltage drop across blocking diodes. This voltage (if present) is created by ambient energy hitting metal. There is energy going through the load but there is no charge going through the load.

This could be verified with current probes on both sides of the load (two tests: probes before and after diodes), are current waveforms identical or are they different ? This should be tested also without load connected, can the magnetic field be still detected by the current probe (two tests again) ?

*********************************

I revised the theory to be more detailed by using field potentials, this is about 'ringing a bell'. The information I got from woopy's scope shot played a significant role in this development. Where mechanical bell outputs sound, electrical bell outputs ambient energy. I also updated the 'conversion to hot electricity' section based on wistiti's results.

There is a concept idea for a reference system that uses Joule Thief based oscillator using coil capacitors without resistor (page 24 onwards). The starting point was a JT circuit that used 0.77nF capacitor instead of the 1k resistor. If 0.77nF makes JT to oscillate then about the same capacitance coil capacitor will also make it oscillate. Idea is to first make a fast oscillating self running oscillator with frequency and pulse strength controls and then apply it to a coil capacitor energy collecting system (which is wound on top of the oscillator). This sounds simple and it is. Just one transistor, variable resistors and a capacitor, the rest is done with coiling and resonance.

I hope this will get built by me at some stage or by some experimenter so that we would get a working reference design anyone can build easily and at low cost. Just like the original Joule Thief circuit.

gotoluc and wistiti showed that a coil capacitor can be used as an inductor. Therefore it can be used to create an electromagnet for electric motors as well. I added my thoughts on that at the end.

Nice to ear from you Jack!

his last twenty(underestimating: real more then 40) years are "capacitive coil" devices related :

"capacitive coils" equipped motors would need an industrial factory work processs change (probably in near future) but the first step :

                     no need of electric motor change cause the energy source is "capacitive coil" based
