IR LEDs

Hello Gary,
Firstly, running a LED with 12-15v is sure to make the LEDs feel very sad, ha ha.
However since IR LEDs carn't be seen working, I would suggest that you put a "white" LED in series with them, if the white LED lights up, then you can be about 95% sure the IR LED is working also.

A safety note here also, never look into a IR LED, to see if it is working, as IR radiation can enter the eye and cause problems.

I thought  for sure that I had a link to the  LED light  I was talking about ...... here it  is

This  light is designed to run at 12 V  AC or DC
Like  a florescent  blacklight it is easy to see that it is on.
It  does not look bright , it looks light purple

@altrez Ou can be as simple as running ayour Jt on 1.2 volts drawing 10 ma and outputting 1.3 volts at 11 ma . that is over your unity or over what you started out with .Someone here can take this simple Ou and caluclate the COP of this  threoretical circuit and give you a number of how much this would be OU .

Humm very interesting. Has anyone made such a device that can be easily replicated? I have been working with my JT all week and it is still on the same set of battery's. And I can still charge caps. For example I have a 16v 3300 uF electrolytic cap that I have charged up to 5 volts each time I swap the source battery with the charge battery.

How much energy is in the cap? And if I did not discharge the cap with each cycle would it fill up completely?

Thanks!

no worries xee2

well it seems your thinking of the flat pancake version. im using teslas other version which was wound ababab and when a ended it was connected to the beginning of b. this can be wound around a torroid but its tedious and if the coil is large with thin wire its a royal pain in the you know what to keep the wires from criss crossing.  i think its better because of the way in which it acts like a single coil step up step down transformer. also it creates a larger magnetic field ususally which if your thinking what i was thinking no it doesnt create OU in itself. sorry guys.

@all
i have attached a pic of what i believe to be the best configuration. please be mindful everyone will need to tweek it to suit thier particular resistances in the torroids wires caps etc to get it at peak.  i have not had the time to test it but from what i have seen this should do the trick. i will let you know once i have tested this as im almost done creating the coils.

@@ just to throw my 2c at the world. you have to be careful when you have a solution that threatens any "field of business" like energy industry Air conditioning industry etc. things just dont get adopted when many many peoples jobs and lots and lots of income are affected for both the workers and businesses alike! and we know that the oil industries have made record profits in the recent years so something like OU if it was discovered would have to be released very carefully. lets face it your talking about millions of jobs! if you did have it and if you were able to get past all of the BS and people trying to stop you, lets say you just released it over night to the world what would happen? the world would have the largest market crash we have ever seen. record numbers of people would be without work and many many people both business and employee alike would be out a paycheck.  money does make the world go round and something to this magnitude would have to be adopted gradually so the market has time to adjust.

@ interesting detail

if anyone wants to look at significantly lowering their energy bills i have a quick and easy solution. albeit a tad bit pricey.  cool your home with geothermal. the temp stays low enough to cool without the need of compressors. just run a small effecient fan over a heat transfer unit with curculating water from the ground. you can do this with a 6 volt water pump from an aquarium if there is no air in the line. the pipe can be ordered for cheep but it requires trenches or deep holes. check out geothermal but remember your only circulating cold water not buying a heat exchanger unit

to heat your home have solar hot water collecters heat water in a bladder insulated and stored underground, use radiant floor heating and make sure that you have a instant hot water heater (one faucet version) tied to the incoming hot water and set for a low temp. if you have a good termal mass (cement floor) it will store and release heat very effectively and the water temp should never need to be above 90f to heat your home to 70-80f 

good stuff, and all of it should be able to run for several days off of a 12v car battery. that in turn can be charged by a 20 watt solar panel!  talk about cheep. can you say free?

@ NOTES

this curcuit has not been tested and will need some minor tweeks mostly concerning the number of turns maybe the parts could be optimized not sure.  when i say 20 turn bifiliar i mean 20 total turns, if you wound this with a folded wire only make 10 turns then when you combine the 2 coils it becomes 20 turn bifiliar. try not to cross your wires as this will most likely have a negative impact on performance.  unfortunately even tho the bifiliars have wonderful traits they do not make good high voltage pick up coils so a regular coil was added for the usful output.  the negative terminal on the coil may need to go through the led to the emmiter of the transistor. i adopted this image from previous posts and kept the current connection assuming it would work but may need to be altered. this should provide better results when using the tesla bifiliars.

There might be some problems  with   your Geo Thermal  plans
Around here  ground temp is  around 55 degrees .
That IS  cool enough to   get a little cooling from .
The  problem is  it is not cool enough to  do any  dehumidifyng .
The  coils of  a normal air conditioner   run close to 32 degrees .  At that temp they  dehumidify  very well



A problem  with storing  hot water  in an  underground   bladder is  ground water .......the problem is  ground water flows ...... flowing water is VERY good  at carrying  heat away .




Your idea for your Tesla  bifilar  JT  is interesting
Are you sure that  it causes problems if the  wires get crossed ?
With the normal  bifilar  JT  I have used both  straight  wires  and twisted pairs ....I did not notice any real difference .

If  a few  twists  do not matter  .......it becomes very easy to make
Start with  4 wires   twist  the   end together   so   you can wrap them as one . 
Wrap  20 turns with  all 4 wires at once .
Connect  the start of  2 of those wires to there own ends
Connect the end of  the third  wire  with the start of the 4th .



I  have tried bifilar  secondarys ...... I  got nothing out of them .........
I have   tried connecting  extra coils .......sometimes   connecting the ends of  these  secondarys  together   makes my LEDs brighter .
IF this  does make  a stronger magnetic field it  could be a big improvement

all of the geothermal heating and cooling technologies are regularly used very effectively, i did a lot of research on the subject and even though tv cannot always be trusted many of these projects albiet not used in this way were telivised. the key with the bladder is that its roughly the size of a septic tank. a open pit is dug and the bladder burried, the bladder itself is insulated as well as the ground providing insulation/risidual heat. if you reasearch underground homes you will see that heat gained in the summer is sequestered into the earth itself later to be used during the winter. what heat the insulated bladder leaks will be regained should the temp drop and if this does not happen then the heat will reach a peak and will start to create resistance to further losses, this is ofcourse what is lost that the insulation cannot prevent which will be minimal. so there is no running water where the bladder is burried.

for the tesla bifiliar it is the coils position where coil a is next to coil b that it gets its effects. if coil a is next to coil a then you begin to cancel some of the benifits.

my initial test of one small regular coil and one large bifiliar failed, the led would not light, i do not think this has any relation to the curcuit and its wiring and i will double check shortly then i will begin to wind the second bifiliar and test the drawing i provided with 2 bifiliars and one regular. when i have my results i will post.  my guess is that it should reduce load but this circuit has been anything but predictable for me when it comes to coils. this is precisely why i like it as it hopefully will provide a better insight to magnetism.

Has anyone made such a device that can be easily replicated?

not to my knowledge.
claims, yes.
there plenty said to be suppressed, fake and some that no one have been able to be replicate.

then you have devices like the jts and the EB that are not concidered as OU but do work...

at 55 degrees with ambiant air at 78 you will have enough temperature difference to dehumidify a house in no time.
the moisture stick to a colder surface and a few degrees difference is enough.

i have a car radiator connected to my house water supply in my basement.
during summer its temperature is ~65 degrees.
you won't beleive how much moisture stick to its sides during summer.
i had to put a pickup tray under it to redirect the water drop to the drain.
just a small blow is enough, if the blower is to fast, the moisture won't stay on it.
it waiste a bit of water, but it cost way less then an air conditioner.
i am restricting the flow to 1~3 gallons per hours.

A problem  with storing  hot water  in an  underground   bladder is  ground water .......the problem is  ground water flows ...... flowing water is VERY good  at carrying  heat away .

on the fly usage and heavy insulation of the storage tank are require.
but, in some countries it is a heat pump that will be required, as the winter sun will not be enough.
