Hi Dude!

Great vid! and great work! Have you played with any receiver coils yet? It truly is great fun! Here are some vids I made...

YouTube - Tesla coil transmitting to 3 receiver coils.

YouTube - Wireless power

It seems to me like the more receiver coils i use, and the bigger the piece of metal I connect them to acting as a ground (in my vids I use a heavy piece of iron that looks like an iron - its an old iron that people used to put next to the fire to warm up and use) the brighter are the CFLs. I'm hoping to keep adding more and more till it seems like free energy!

My tesla coil uses an NST and polypropylene capacitor and sprak gap with tungsten electrodes - i wouldnt know what to do with a 555 timer chip!

Good luck with your experiments - i hope you build some receiver coils - i wanna see what results others get. I made my receiver coils in random fashion - some with thick wire, some thin, and some with many turns, some not so many. But they all work for wireless power transfer as they can all light up my 12V diode torch (and of course, they all manage CFLs)
