Self-powering 555 Timer Chip Circuit

[Berg]

I ran across this video on YouTube about a simulation of a self-powering / resonating circuit with 555 timer chip.

It seems to work in the simulator.

Whether it works in real life, we will have to see.

Can sims be trusted?

Very interesting, Berg. Congratulations for finding a deficiency in a widely used circuit simulator. I have worked with and experimented with the 555 timer, coils, capacitors, etc. And your circuit can be easily constructed and tested directly. I will cost very little. If you get the same results with a real circuit, I would be surprised. But, if you do, post a video. You will still have many people that don't believe it is true. But, you will find MANY MANY fans on this website. We (all) share the goal of creating an easy-to-build circuit or device that will extract "free" energy from the environment. It is not impossible. After all, what does a windmill or solar array do? I, for one, don't want to depend on sunshine or wind. They are not completely reliable.

My own current experimental circuit is derived from the common joule thief circuit, but also incorporates a 555 timer that provides a square pulse to a MOSFET. I can adjust the square wave output so that pulses of power are applied to my coil. I can adjust the repetition rate and the length of the pulses. The longer the pulse of input power, the greater the energy into the coil and the greater the energy on the output side.

I use diodes to control which way the current is flowing. You would be interested in my present setup. Current is flowing "backward" through a diode. In other words, if I gave you a circuit diagram, you would say there is no way power is being supplied to the 555 because the power to the 555 appears to be coming from a diode that is BACKWARD.

If I reverse the diode or remove it, nothing works. Apparently, enough current is going backward through the diode to power the circuit. AMAZING.

I Just tried to make this in the iPad version of the simulator but i could not get it to work. The resistors look like 10K and the capacitor looked to be a 300nF. I did the 1 turn on primary and 3 turns on secondary. The picture will be below. Its late now and i could have done something wrong but I can't get it to work.

555 timer pin 6 is the threshold?? or trigger?, in the circuit the pin 6 is the trigger and pin 2 is the threshold?? is there a different configuration of pins in 555 timer?? just noticed it

As I only reported the story, I would suggest you can ask abhisu8089 if possible or run the simulator to see if it is possible to find out.

Can a 555 be powered by 1.5 supply volts?
I thought the range was 4.5 to 15 volts.

555 Positive Supply Voltage

Can a 555 be powered by 1.5 supply volts?
I thought the range was 4.5 to 15 volts.

Good point.

According to Wikipedia, the positive supply voltage for a 555 is usually between 3 and 15vdc(1).

Set at 1.5 volts that may be why the simulator is showing funny results.

Just a thought!

Updated Simulation with Start Input at 6V

Set at 1.5 volts that may be why the simulator is showing funny results.

Just a thought!

In this simulation, I increased the battery voltage to 6v and increased the number of LEDs to 3.

The simulation still works.



You can try the Updated Simulator.

The problem is in how the simulator handles the transformer. If you remove the leads that connect the diode to the positive and remove the push button and just join the leads directly to the battery the system still works. The transformer acts like a overunity device when you don't feed back to the positive and the power output of the LED keeps going up.

I too was first surprised to see the output, when I first designed it and because of that I posted on youtube so that experts can comment. More interesting is the fact that if the LED is removed and a bulb is connected in its place, the output goes into gigavolts and crashes.

I saw that, too. That was funny.
