Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

Hi Fausto,
the explanation is pretty simple.
You have a capacitor on your breadboard as you have this pF supply voltage
line, where you sticked your LEDs into.
These 2 connection rows have maybe 50 pF capacitance.
Now the cables from your RF generator to this one wire connection just
have inductance, let?s say 50 nH,so you see you are charging up the
50 pF cap via this wire to a positive voltage with every positive sine wave of your
RF output. Then when the treshold voltage of around 1.7 to 2.5  Volts is reached
the 50 pF cap is discharged via the LEDs.
The ground wire of the RF generator is coupled also via a stray cap to the ground
lineof your breadboard ( cathode of LEDs), so at these frequencies all currents
flow via stray capacitances and also the LC resonance frequency of the wire inductance and
stray capacitances play an important role...
This way you can get a higher voltage at the cap as the RF output and this will
energize the LEDs and discharge the 50 pF cap...
Pretty easy to explain, but hard to control as every cm of wire counts and the placement
of wires and stray capacitances will vary the resonance frequency.

This is why I said, that it willbe hard to design a PCB board without the alu backplate
to have the same high output.

I just got myself 2 aluplates and I will try this now toput beneath my breadboard.

Hmm,
did Dr. Stiffler delete his 2 domains ?

Now all what is coming up is:
mydiscountdomains.com

if I call
www.stifflerscientific.com
or
www.drstiffler.com


So what is going on ?


Regards, Stefan.

@hartbiberlin,

thanks Stefan, so far your explanation seams plausible but one questions is still bogging me (I am not debating anything jsut trying to understand), you explained all the caps and inductance and all that but it seams that you are understanding my design as if the two wires from my RF Gen are connected to the LEDS but they are not.

The ground wire of the RF generator is coupled also via a stray cap to the ground
lineof your breadboard (

The ground wire of the RF generator is NOT connected to anything. Do you see that in my video? THAT's where I am confused. Where is the current of the discharge and charge is going? from where and to where?

I am asking all this questions because I see people saying "RF" explain all that but unfortunately I dont see the same way. IS RF capable of generating a voltage and current in a open circuit like the one I show on the video? if it is for good just let me know, please.


Fausto.

Oh dear some of you have really pi$$ed him off now as he has deleted his domains AND deleted the youtube vids!  Either he has discovered something amazing that he wants to keep to himself

OR

MIB have told him to bugger off.

Well, it goes via the case of your function generator and the air to your breadboard.

Probably only in the 1 to 10 pF range, but there is definately a capacitance there.
Also if you touch the ground cathode line of your diodes you increase
this stray cap with your body to a much higher value versus the case of your
function generator = ground of the function generator.
