Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator Video

[ashtweth]

I wont feel so bad about ever getting Ren and lidmotor over here, we have a mess every where, it looks like a Tandi shop that a terrorist let a bomb off in

[sirmikey1]

Solid state oscillator is definitely the way to go.
It's amazing, sitting here and watching this come
together. A little fine tuning, and maybe next do
a heavy duty version

I finally pieced together the cap pulser today thanks to Agongon and his easy to follow circuit diagram. Many thanks Agongon and Ren for helping me to understand enough to get it built on a bread board and get it working. Facinating little device. I learned alot doing this build. Wish that I had a scope so I could see the wave forms. Here is the video of it working amongst a big pile of parts on my table.

lol @ the mess. Me too mate. Good work, you solved the basic cap pulser When you are ready to shrink your circuit down get a little prototype etched board designed for IC's/555's. And get the little cradles for the 555 and the H11d1, this way you can replace them and you dont have to solder directly to their tabs.

In regards to your fan going solid state. The ignition coil is a lower resistance path to the collector from the input. If you are using the fan to generate the oscillations for your light then your fan could stop but your coils inside your fan can oscillate still. You can do this with the SG circuit simply by raising the base resistance.

Imhotep,
I havn't got my Fan and Lite wired in a way to run both at one time yet. I have been focused on getting the cap pulser built. The circuit that I'm testing the pulser out on is just the Bedini Fan circuit with a single Ignition Lite coil attached at the collector and + of the drive battery. The Fan draws 100 to 200 milliamps with fair charging. When I connect the light circuit, the fan stops, the draw goes up to 300 to 400 milliamps but with better charging. When I turn the Lite off and let the system self- oscillate the draw goes down 20 to 30 milliamps but the charging is fantastic!

Cheers,

Lidmotor

the new version i am doing uses the (LARGE) fan from radio shack .it has such a large pulse off the huge coils it pulses the relay to run the light on low level light mode (1/3 output),it current limits the relay so there is no sticking on the contacts or arcing it has been running long term no problems and has good light output and is silent because of the box. it makes no current draw difference when the bulb is screwed in or unscrewed,the charge ability drops a little with the bulb screwed in, the current draw can be controlled from the adjustment of the fan base resistor .i use a little trick to get full brightness and the fan all running together.i got rid of the condenser on this version and replaced it with a smaller cap. i will be adapting the bedini pulsar with a much easier off the shelf circuit ,and trying it next

Current draw

Excellent work lidmotor i knew you could do it Have you had a chance to measure the total current draw with the fan and light running? Boy this circuit got complicated..lol Thank you goes out to John Bedini for putting out such a great working charging circuit.

As far as the basic oscillator charger I will be releasing that soon. i have been a bit sidetracked boxing up and refining the light but i will sit down and work on getting that released soon. Great work everyone

Coil

I remember someone mentioned earlier in the thread, that they thought they were getting about 700 volts from the coil..............

I measured mine, and I'm getting about 600.

non lite? As in just a charger?

As in the simpler, more powerful 3 piece version hinted at near the beginning of this thread. Here's one place it was talked about.

Imhotep nice box you got there.

Very,Very,
helpfuly site for the like of lidmotor,waterhouse24,Agongon. dont think they do international but i can post on if you wish?

Thanks Ag.

The pot is a 5k on the main oscillator and I do have a 1n4007 off the collector, probably isnt necessary though.

Caps on the back end the experimenter can play with, You dont necessarily want those specific caps. Take a look in the Bedini solidstate oscillators thread for some more tips on cap choice.

The SCR is a good start. Remember though, it was specified (as all parts usually are) as part of a whole. Change one component and you may need to change another to get the full effects desired.

Imhotep, nice Thats a rather large bulb there. I will have to try one larger and see if it makes a noticeable difference.

Thanks a lot Ren for pointing out suggestions. I have chosen SCR instead.

Lidmotor, you're welcome. It feels good when even small things we do help humanity in many ways. Your works are awesome!

Bodkins, I'm sorry that I cannot answer your question right now. This link talks about 555 Timer - Frequency and Duty Cycle. I hope it helps.

Note: Mostly of this circuit is of John Bedini's.

Sorry if this is pulling the thread off topic, but is the non-lite version still coming?
