Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

@retrod
Thank you. You're so right. Those LEDs do have some "heat" when I am in direct view of them. I dont know why but when I was recording for the youtube I notice that for the rest of the next day I have this "warm felling" right in my eyes like when you go skying in the mountan and forget the eye gear and the next day, oh boy, your face is so red....

@all
just a point that I learned this year. Do you know those craizy scientists that claims they know the secret but guess what they lost their "notes", including Tesla. Well, this year I decide to keep a almost "religious" process in document and noting everything I am doing (so many projects, so many notes) in plain paper notebook followed by good pictures and now the "my precious" youtube for the videos. I can not stress how important is to go back to those notes and "re-believe" what I discovered and have done.

As one example, I still have a few videos and notes describing in detail how to run this one experiment where my battery runs this "circuit" , make noises, run things and never, I say, NEVER run my 5hAmp battery down, which is the source of the circuit. Unbelieaveble. I had to return to those notes so many times and the videos to be sure that I really did what I am saying.

So guys, can you please make notes and possibly post here sometimes? (no criticism here, I am just serious about it, after all we ARE making history now).

Fausto:

Excellent point.  I think the more everyone publishes here, no matter if failure or success, at least it is documented.  Then, regardless of hardrive failures, internet server destructions, or any other type of disaster, the information is already out there.  It is the information that is important and it must be preserved. And yes, I believe we are all making history now and I am just very glad to be here and participate.

Maybe a good way to test overall performance would be to replace the Battery with charged Ultracapacitor?

Also, try suspending an induction coil around the assembly, measure through a diode on the multimeter for VDC.  Does the field size/shape change when there is a ground connection or antenna(or both?)

That's a good point but I do not have a field strength meter, can I build one quick and cheap? Based on my scope data I see that the operating frequency is between 1 and 2 MHz (this big range is because I keep playing with those caps in the oscillator hoping to reduce the source current by raising the frequency)

I had it going at 2MHz at one point and I believe I had it down to 11mA use on the whole setup (100x 5mm + 42x 10mm LEDs). But I cannot confirm that yet, I will have to re-run the whole thing. First I need to clear much more room on my table because working in a 2bdrm apt. is pretty tough.

I wrote "field strength meter" but in this case a spectrum analyzer+
broadband antenna would be good - to catch the overtones.

There can be lots of MW stations in the range from 0.5 to 1.5MHz -
depends on where you live.

The minimum effort I?ve done on playing around with such stuff is to make
a quickcheck with a radio and a TV set and check out if no radio station
is disturbed.

-> tuning around while turning the circuit on and off.

The other areas are 434 and 868 MHz where lots of rf toys work ...
but you need lots of luck to place your carrier overtone there by
accident.


The other option is to shield the garage or whatever you are working in.

@All

BTW:

I would be careful on upscaling those experiments
to some degree.....
Finally some guys from the fcc will show up and take
everything including the solder iron.

If you operate an rf transmitter you should at least
know the frequency and fieldstrength you are emitting...
Even a radio amateur isnt allowed to transmit on any
frequency.

Maybe your neighbour already freaks out because he
gets evp messages from his radio.....

be careful !

Have you built the circuit? I have a field strength meter and the meter drops to background at three feet from the circuit. There is nothing to fear here from the FCC or your neighbors.

The field strength meter is just for your safety.
Typical receivers are sensitve to uVolts.
So there is quite a good chance that you disturb the reception
of your neigbors favorite radio program ... or the data channel
of your local firefighter walky talky or whatever.
There maybe overtones, multiples of your base frequency
which might be a problem.
Using ferrite beads all over the place would reduce the risk
to emit something >100MHz.

Yes, I built "something" with such ferrite coils -
and I?ve built various transmitters since I was a kid.
Yes, there are neigbors ;-) .

If you live on the countryside with no neigbors, no problem.
