Pulling energy from the ambient energy field using a coil capacitor

[Dog-One]

Got looking at Coil/Cap pancake coils and I decided to give you guys a treat:

Clockwise:  https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Tw78ZkFP

Counter-clockwise:  https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Ac7UB3fV

You can order these boards if you desire to look into how they perform.

The idea is these two boards are mirror images of each other, so you can place
a sheet of Mylar between them, grab five 10-32 nylon fasteners and test them out.

The turn count is pretty low, so the frequency of interest will probably be pretty
high.  Likely you'll want a fast MOSFET driver capable of fairly high voltage to
ping them with.  I'll have more stats about them once I progress a bit more.

Dog One, nice to see you are advancing. Don't want to slow you down but maybe you could do a quick test with your solenoid setup ? The very first scope shot showed that with ferrite core in place the coil capacitor ring down was 86.1 kHz. Now you have this 100 kHz oscillator so you could tune the solenoid system up to 100 kHz frequency by moving the ferrite rod inside. Put blocking diodes before the load to make sure electrical loops are eliminated. You could also look at the voltage drop across load when diodes are in place. I think that there is no voltage drop, maybe this could be confirmed ? If no voltage drop then add capacitor parallel to load, now there should be voltage as the energy flow fills the capacitor with charge. If you can test this then you need to be very careful in case you achieve resonance. Safety first!

Capacitor behaves differently when it is connected to opposite endpoints of different wire compared to connection to same ends of different wire. When capacitor is connected to same ends it fills up until a certain level is reached. I could not study this any further without measuring equipment though. But capacitor and energy flow have interesting effects and deserve more attention.

Hi Jack and all

Here some progress and experiments

I decided to try a setup named sandwitch cap coil.

I based the idea on Jack's drawing on page 7 of the PDF.

So i wound a copper tape (6 mm wide ) in spiral along a 40 mm diameter cardboard tube. I could wind 64 turns ( 2 times 32 turns connected in the middle) to get the first secondary coil (the blue one on the PDF)
Then i wound an insulation transparent standard tape /scotch) all along the coil. This isolate and make a dielectric.

Then i wound  my red 0.4 mm (7 strands ) stranded copper wire exactly in the middle of the 6mm copper tape, so 64 turns. This wire will be the primary of the system. (see  picture 1)

Then i wound an other scotch tape to fix the red wire and isolate and make a second dielectric.

Then i wound exactly on top of the first spiral ,the upper sandwitch made of 2 time 32 turns with the 6 mm copper tape, but this time separated in the middle as per the red coil in the PDF.

Finally scotched all along to isolate the copper tape, connected the load as per the PDF et voila, (picture 2)

I have separated the 7 strand to have the possibility of different experiment, but for today i have used all the strands together, so i get a one to one ratio between primary and the pair secondary.

First results

I connected a battery bank of 83 volts pulsed on the primary (red wire) by  my mosfet activated by my  555 timer at about 15 % duty cycle and 200 kHz cycle frequency. And the load is a 3.5 incandescent bulb.

So as you can see on picture 3, on the left , the scope probe are connected on the primary (red wire), we clearly see the pulse at the beginning of the cycle. During the pulse, due to the high frequency, and short duty cycle, the voltage trace (yellow) is not square but more a M shape and the voltage is far less than the nominal  83 volts. The current (blue trace)  is a positive peak.
At the end of the pulse, both voltage and current trace, spike negatively and then the voltage trace rebounce strongly positive (much higher than the M value ), before ringing down to the next pulse ?

On picture 3 on the right, the probes are connected to the load (bulb), and this time we don't see the pulse at the beginning of the cycle, but then we see strong current oscillations (blue trace) and very low voltage oscillations ??.

Voila, no claim here, but lot of questions , what is this current oscillations on the load , why is the voltage so low in a 1 to 1 ratio, why don't we see the pulse trace on the load etc..

For info i have already smoked 5 bulbs, 1 volmeter, 1 mosfet, have tried already some different load (led , 220 volts bulbs, 12 volts bulb, each time with very different results, but a common feature is  the big difference between the voltage and current traces on the primary and the secondary pair cap coil.

A lot of fun with this setup

Hope this helps

So no comments on the scope traces i have posted ??

Hi Woopy,

You have two channel O-scope shots.  Please tell us which is the input and which is the output?  Thanks.
