High Efficiency Lamp Driver

Sure I have it on my youtube. It's called "Free Energy Generation Using The Electric Company"

Got it!

Thank you Joel.

The idea is not to fool or trouble the mains, It's just a method one of many of my methods to limit your current input usage so you don't have to pay much for the input as not much is needed if you build your circuits and devices around this low current idea. the point is further down the line. The 10uf cap starts to act funny, as in funny it starts acting like a temp electret or something like it when pulsed discharged and continuously recharged. So I took advantage of the 60 hertz to save on having to need a stage to pulse the voltage into this cap with the help of the SCR and neon that maintains this oscillation. This dumps 100 volts a few times a second into a super capacitor bank replacing a traditional battery bank for many added benefits of less circuit resistance and such! The high frequency high voltage 220 volts inverter running at much faster frequency "fools" the lamp into being able to provide its lumens as it would with a 60 hertz 15 watt source at 110 volts. I actually burnt out a few lamps off this tiny inverter!!! But I needed to find a way to limit the current usage to near zero because its way to hot direct from the mains line! the idea is not to use current!

You can do the same with an inverter as the input source or any other local source of 60 hertz AC. or you can even replace the reactive component x factor all together and use a fly zapper oscillator feed it with low current 50ma or less at 1.5 volts DC you get a spark gap 1kv to play with. Pulse that into a MOT in reverse and rectify the low voltage side back into a set of super capacitors does the same darn thing. Just needs more parts and a noisy spark gap. I know I did it. Again the interesting thing happens inside the pulsing caps. And the utilizations of only capacitors and the high frequency inverter. And how the lamp reacts. How you want to feed this system is up to you really. Probably even more methods that I have yet thought of.

I must point out that the circuit how ever fine that it works is rather simple and could use some improvements. Such as a sort of protection for those nasty AC mains transients you may run into. Maybe put a 50-100 ohm R in line with one of the AC lines?

I'm all for improvements, after the basics handle the task at hand.  I have a couple small AC generators I'll likely put upstream of this circuit of yours.  Not worried about the power company getting bent out of shape.  When things go dark, they can worry about my bank not paying them to service a dead line.

So yeah, I like what you've done.  Could probably power quite a few lights with just some small gens using practically no fuel.  That's definitely handy indeed.

Actually I was thinking this type install ( on a teeny tiny genset )




Would be a wonderful path towards proving the claim
Has no effect on mains !


Daisy chain a bunch of lights !
Mili Amps won't bog the genny
