Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

@Gustav
Thank you for your explanation. For a while I had been thinking how would link a series resonator to a parallel one.

I was in the mood to play tonight and since I got those new cores I should be close to the target now. The cores measure about 710uh and I made 7-8 turns instead of 9 on the primary coming to about 4-5uh.

In any case the setup is in picture 1, battery is 10.2V so technically depleted 12V one, DMM is on mA and the circuit is my modified version that uses BD243 instead of the 2N3904/2N2222. I also have some other modifications but as a proof of concept it should suffice. The main drive board has 100x 5mm 55,000mcd LEDs and it's supported by an aluminium back, while the smaller boards have 14x 10mm 130,000mcd LEDs and no aluminium back.

My idea was to test the extent of AV plug and what can actually be done with it because I got tired of all these measurements and O/U guesswork. I'm a practical guy and I want to do something practical with this, so I figure let's see how many lights we can get going, how far and whether we can use a single wire to power it all.

As you can see from the included picture, yes we can drive with a single wire lots and lots of LEDs at miniscule amounts of source current. The picture 5a is sort of an anomaly I've noticed, if you look at the middle bottom board it is not connected to the AV plug drive but on the opposite side of the diode and as a consequence that board lights up brighter than the rest of them, at the minimum additional current draw. I believe this can be done to all even or all odd boards to get more light output from them.

This is by no means done, I have not used any coils in-between to try and boost the drive or such, it's just a possible beginning for something practical that can be explored. Also, interference caused by touching the connections and boards causes the lights to dim a bit, so that's another thing to consider when designing final circuits.

Important bit is that since the LEDs have different impedances (5mm vs 10mm ones) if those were matched I believe we could go on adding more without much loss or increase in current draw. Right now you see a jump from only 5mm to 5mm+10mm ones of almost 15mA. Funny thing is that I initially had this at 31mA but then I moved the setup and now it's at 48mA...figures.

Excellent work Amigo. As you work with the circuits, new ideas just keep coming don't they!  If you have a scope, look at the waveforms in the circuit both with a X10 probe and a "sniffer" coil, you will then understand more what is going on here. There is the basic RF waveform @ the CE junction and then there is a much more revealing waveform near the hot (battery end) of the coil.  Look at it carefully and do everything you can to enhance that waveform!

@ retrod:

Great video.  That is awesome!  Something is lighting that tube....but what?

Bill

Thanks Bill. I know you can light these tubes with RF energy, I think some of the new fixtures convert to RF energy for modern lighting. When I get back to work I'll check to see if we still have an RF spectrum analyzer. I know we had one ten years or so ago. The best energy concentration (hot spot) to light the tubes in my circuit is at the battery pack. Today I used my 12volt pack (eight AA batteries) in a similar test. Terminal  voltage is 11 volts. Current is 110ma. AV plug is grounded to the house wiring (screw on wall outlet plate). The tubes are both touching the battery pack, no electrical connection. Check out the photo and then the video.

  Why did Dr.Stiffler take his videos off of YouTube? I liked them. I wish he would post some more.

@ fritz:

The rf doesn't hurt the beer does it?  That would be a shame.

Bill

The guy with the pretty red face who stands right next to the feedhorn
is used to drink his beer warmer than the others ;-))))
Maybe there is some vivid sensation in the foam visible -
yes definitly - the beer is safe.

And they are telling funny stories about the carbonized bird-feet
they?ve found yesterday on the outside of the feed - or tell the
story about the 2 policemen on the road, 2km apart of the radar
station - and how long it took them to get uncomfortable after they
changed the direction of the beam towards the policemen.

...funny guys...
