Self Running Micro TPU, with closed loop.

[wattsup]

Well mine is still dimly lit since Dec 22nd 2007. And voltage goes up and down as usual.

I just got my order of torroids, small ones, big ones and lots of wire gauges.  I think I will get another breadboard so I can leave my present system in place and try other configs.

Not posting does not mean a dead thread. By the way this circuit works, we can say nothing is ever really dead.

@Newton2,

You are 100% right about semiconductors that works as soler panels. I discovered that back in 1980.
Attached is a image of the output from 100 IR diodes. 10 diodes in series is connected to 10 rows.
This image is taken in normal indoor lightning.

Groundloop.

@all,

I get approx 1.1 volt off my 10mm (the big one) Green LED. Reading taken in heavy overcast sky. This fact is well known amongst solar tracker builders.

Take a look at this. http://www.redrok.com/electron.htm#led3x

@ all,

Here's the latest result of my run.

Plengo's circuit. 6 White LEDs, 1 Green, 1 Yellow. IGBT is a IRG4PC50U (Ultra Fast IGBT. Datasheet avail. from www.datasheetcatalog.com). PNP is a 2N3907. Battery is a GP 9V NMh rechargeable rated at 170mAh. Single SSG coil. It's a 150 feet bifilar #18 and 19.

Battery is charged and first measurement is at 9.81V. Voltage drops to 8.99V upon connection to circuit. Amp draw is at 0.3mA. 5 White LEDs are lighted up but dim (shines greenish tint).

6 hours and still running, voltage remains at steady 8.99V (no flucuation).

In other tests, I changed the MOSFETs to IRF510, IRF530, IRF240, FQB50N06 and all show voltage drop. So far with IGBT, voltage remains at 8.99V.

Let's see if the voltage remains steady, dip or rises.....

Will keep all posted.

Cheers, cp

@ All,

Here's my test results.

After 12 hours, the voltage drops down to 8.98 from the start voltage (with load) of 8.99. The amp consumption remains steady at 0.2mA. Added another SSG coil (identical to the first) in series and the result is similar i.e. 0.01 volt drop after 6 hours.

Don't know what it proves but I guess I have to look at the circuit from afresh?

Cheers, cp

Nice work guys,  glad to see you're exploring.
I'm curious to see how long the Fausto's experiment will last.  One 9V battery that just keeps going and going!!   I understand you started with a "discharged" battery, is that right?
