Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

[amigo]

Just a thought. It has been said and proven that you don't need a battery or power source to run a crystal radio.
Dr. Stiffler's circuit seems to both receive and transmit RF and is especially strong in a sphere around the unit. Could not additional, separately tuned receivers be placed inside the sphere of influence and be used to drive the oscillator which then runs the Dr. Schiffler circuit. Perhaps others are trying to learn what the transmitted frequency is in order to do this.

That works, and I believe good doc had shown it, but the problem is that the circuit is self-tuning and so the frequency is never the same. So, the transmitter circuit would tune to one frequency; then you'd add your receivers around it and spend time tuning them to the optimal performance. And yet if you restart your transmitter (power off and power on) it might not tune back into the same frequency thus voiding all the work you have spent on your receivers.

@amigo
You could try a PLL. failing that, there is nothing that a PIC can't cure!

But of course, there's always a solution, I was just pointing out that in the present incarnation that would not be so easy. After all this, thread is about doc. stiffler's original experiments, circuits and their replication.

hi all - happy holidays

apologies for the long post - it may help by shortening the thread in the long run

i check out this site from time to time to see what's happening & was interested to find this thread - interested enough to register just so i could reply to this thread...

... which seems to raise so many questions

the Avramenko plug operation & single wire power transfer at high voltage & frequency are frequent-flyers on OU related sites - interesting and potentially useful (no pun intended) - but not new

so, if you connect an AC signal source with some power capability into a transformer and load the secondary with an LED you could expect to light the LED if the unloaded pk-pk secondary voltage is greater than the Vf of the LED and there is sufficient current drive

the LED will not only partially rectify the output signal, it will also limit its amplitude on the forward drive half-cycle

if the secondary voltage drive capability is high enough you could add another LED in series (same polarity orientation) and expect to light the 2nd LED too - with similar forward volts-drop

the output voltage will be clamped to the sum of the two diode forward voltages - but the current will still be driven higher whilst the input waveform rises on each forward half-cycle

as someone has pointed out earlier in the thread, the human eye is extremely non-linear in perceiving brightness - and it has persistence of image - so it is difficult to judge visually just what is happening when more LEDs are added

you could expect to add as many LEDs, each apparently lit as brightly, up to a total forward volts drop equal to the loaded output capability of the transformer for that input signal

so far you've only added LEDs for one polarity swing of the output waveform - you can also expect to be able to drive a similar set of LEDs in parallel & with the opposite polarity

is this system providing power out independent of source? no - we're just adding load up to the drive capability of the signal source & transformer combination; it's just that it appears to the human eye that each additional increment in the load is adding to the power transfer & not sharing it between them

LEDs don't generate much heat - so its difficult to use temperature to measure the power out

why use LEDs when you could just drive heaters (or temperature-stable resistors?), use a calorimeter and get some once-and-for-all results which confirm or deny a power transfer anomaly?

so, why use LEDs? after all, we're not trying to make it difficult to see what's going on ...are we?

some interesting observations to be found on the Stiffler Scientific logo:-
  the flask in the LH lower corner has the label '317', the white stripes at the base of the 'Science' shield are the equivalent of 317 in binary, the series of red 'dots' in the blue banner behind the eagle's head are the units representation of 317

what's the deal with 317? well, anyone who used to play with calculators will tell you that 317 makes 'LIE' when you turn it upside down - is there a hidden agenda here we need to know about?

google turned up some interesting results for Ron Stiffler and telos-research on the OUPower.com website back in Nov 2004

PS did i miss the post which explains the 'selfrunning' in this thread's title?

Oh, you gave me a chill!  It reminds me of the moment in "The Shining" when you find out what REDRUM means.

I'm sure we'll here the other explanation of 317 soon enough, but this one will still be creepy.

A lot of threads around here have hyperbolic titles, but you can't blame Doc Stiffler for that one.  The thread was already in full swing by the time he showed up here.

Merry Christmas,
