Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

[hoptoad]

Hi Toady, the circuit is a very slightly modified version of the 'Thomas' circuit that is posted on Dr Stifflers site. I use a one meg resistor and removed the 190pf cap and added a 470uh core in series before the AV plug, that's all. You know, I once worked with an Engineer who thought he was an Owl. You would be having a conversation with him and he would suddenly start hooting and had an uncanny ability to swivel his head around, much like an owl does. It would have been interesting to get you both together.

The conversation would probably have gone something like this..... Hoot,,,
No,, KneeDeep,,,,

Oh that's what you meant,,,KneeDeep..KneeDeep,,,

Croak.... LOL  Cheers and keep up the good work - great results!
From the Toad who Hops        P.S. Thanks for the information.

@retrod,
I went out and bought a small fluorescent bulb and got the following results. Location of bulb is not critical, it still lights bright several feet away from circuit.

Interesting, where you have the lamp tube connected, I have that point connected to Earth. When I do this the LED's remain the same brightness and the battery becomes a 'hot spot'. All I need to do to light the lamp/lamps is have it touching the battery case through the glass of the lamp. Connecting to Earth with the battery off the protoboard plate really enhances this. Also I do not use the beads you are showing.
I'm going to go back and study Dr Stifflers thoughts on closing the loop, the RF effect with the lamps was interesting to me, but perhaps a bit too off tangent for this thread.

I wouldn't say you were off tangent at all. Almost every experiment presented here thus far, has used LEDS as a load, therefore the experiments are mostly all about light output per unit/watt input. That is, lumens per watt.

Whether using LEDS or Fluorescent tubes as loads, the real challenge in these experiments is to find out whether the primary source of these "Lumens" is produced by RF, HV, and / or ? (something else we don't know about), or a combination of all three.

Personally I find it very interesting that Phosphorus lined "white" light tubes will light at the same frequencies as the LEDS with such a small driving power. In your previous posting, you said "Pulling 8 volts 120ma from the battery". Thats a mere .96 of a watt driving 60 Leds and a Fluroescent load. Sure, the fluro is probably not running at full throttle, but it certainly looked well illuminated just the same.

Is there any change in the brilliance of the LEDS when you couple the fluro to the circuit? I am very interested to know how many fluoros you could couple in this manner, and whether there is a change in brilliance upward or downwards, as well as power consumption figures, as you couple more to the circuit?

It seems to me, that using flurescent tubes in these experiment is, at the very least, sensible in one way, because of the high voltages produced by the secondary. They will not burn out as easily as LEDS, if the voltages go exremely high.

Also, comparing LED only circuits to Fluro only circuits, and a combination of the two, may actually reveal whether some of the effects of these circuits observed are actually due to the properties of LEDS themselves, or are universal effects of the driving circuit, and/or environmental influences. Also in question, is whether the effects are or not dependant on the type of luminescent load.

Well, at least that's what I'd like to find out !........KneeDeep 
Cheers all.

Your experiment is interesting, but it doesn't show any ability of energetic production, The fact that the fluorescent lamp is bright with an electric field of elevated intensity is non absolutely extraordinary, it is a typical demonstrative experiment. The consumption of your instrument is of around 1,3W and surely the fluorescent lamp, with such power, sends the same quantity of bright flow. Exactly as it happens for the LED.
Instead the circuit is interesting, but the scheme doesn't explain, with clarity, the configuration of the wrappings.
