Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator Video

[Cyrus]

Hey fellas. Take a look at the schematic i drew. Im trying to charge the same battery with the radiant energy between pulses and its working. The only problem is that the wires going to the primary of coil are getting warm.

It might be just taking too many amps out but let me know what could be the cause of this heat. Anything else that you see here that could be improved let me know as well.

Imhotep Fan/Lite

nice video Lidmotor look like a big fan was it a ac fan then you modified it? or dc what volt?
going to try charge with the light off today to see how it stands up.
i wish it was hotter here so i could make uses of the fan !!

imhotep (the new model has a aluminum cast fan) bedini always used aluminum for his wheel what dos it do differently?

take care all

Bodkins,
The fan I'm using is a 5" that I got in a surplus store for $6 US. Its a 12V rated at .77 amps. It was almost impossible to take apart because of the small round snap ring on the shaft. I finally just hammered on it as a last resort until it let go. The whole project almost stopped because of that one tiny snap ring.

Hoppy,

I have been studying your circuit and description and like what you came up with as a simpler solution. I understand what you did and why. It would be interesting to see what the charging aspects of that circuit are as compared to the pure Bedini design. Also what the pulses look like on a scope. Put Ren's cap pulser on your circuit and it could be very interesting.

Cheers,

Cap Report

I had reported earlier, that caps across the +/- , snuffed out the light.

I have found that the B&S type cap at .24 uf have increased output.
They were originally in the circuit to reduce arcing in the relay,
they are still useful in the SS version.(as seen in Lidmotors unit)
As reported, one should use high voltage caps (killed some low voltage ones)

Putting the cap anywhere in parallel across the +/- seems to work.

The time is now

Hi all:
I just read an article here in the news paper where the power company in Colorado has decided to withold service or repairs if they dont get the rate hike they wanted. If I didn't know better, I would call that blackmail.
So it is time to get things running hard and fast. This will snowball into a mess for sure. If one does it, they will all do it to some extent. The parent company is none other than Berkshire/Hatthaway aka Warren Buffett. Dont is just figure.

Here is a video of my Fan Bedini with the Oscillator Lite. I hooked up a little solar panel also to show what could be done to supply energy to the system. I like the different options that this way of doing the IROL allows. It was hot today and I sat right in front of that fan and enjoyed it. Had a cold drink in hand and watched the battery voltage climb.

Amazing Practical applicaitons

Guys its an honor to watch and to see how talented you all are working together, you guys really deserve your own research center, will have our solid state built soon, ill do some practical applications with solar like Lidmotor is doing.

Lidmotor, et all, John Bedini should really be seeing what you guys are doing, you are the only ones to apply his technology out side his battery charging circuits, this is exactly what the world needs

Lidmotor amazing job man!!!

Ashtweth,

Thanks for getting all this at the Panacea site. It looks really good with all the work put together.

Bodkins,
Great little video you just posted. I think that we are all starting to follow a similar train of thought now. I got my fan/light Bedini running yesterday and soon will be adding Ren's pulser idea to the system. I have the parts to build the cap pulser but I may start where you did with a pre-made 555 timer relay circuit board. I saw one in the electronics store where I bought my other parts. Back to click-click-click for awhile to understand what's going on. I'm also, like you, starting to use the light where I work on this project. I figured that I might as well start using it. The small battery idea is something that early on I decided had to be incorporated if this was to be a mobile unit. I'm now trying out Lithium ion batteries that I got cheap at a close out sale. They were for a camera and have a built in circuit in them that turns them off when the voltage drops to a certain level. At first it was a nuisance but now I like it because it lets me know more accurately the charge/discharge limits. When they are charged, they will run the light about 2 hours and then turn off automatically at a certain voltage.

Imhotep--I'm anxious to see your new model.

Ren--Let us know when you can start toasting marshmellows on that bright bulb. I alway felt that a higher voltage would do the trick if you were looking for more light.

Cheers,

Lidmotor

the new model has a aluminum cast fan ,very well built BIG coils.it will be done soon.

ren's light output is excellent higher voltage with current control . much more complication to the design . i will try his concept next .my new one has the ability to interchange circuits ,so it will be easy to expand with new circuit changes

Good job! You will find that the coil likes to run at 9 volts with no ballast and you are correct about the batteries the smaller ones tend to current limit themselves and you burn up less parts. I like your design I am working on one that will do both simultaneously the light and the fan and I am just about done and I will post more details

Hi all

I have attached the circuit schematic of my CFL driver which I have developed and tested over the last two weeks. It uses a line output transformer from an old video monitor and a small enclosed ferrite cored pulse transformer from a surplus PC power supply. Both components are easy to obtain without the need to spend much money. I feel that low cost is very important to encourage others to try alternative designs.

The transistor type is quite critical and must have a low gain (hfe) in the order of 30. I also tried the MJL21194 which also worked OK although it would not operate over the complete voltage range 0 - 30V as did the 2N5038 shown in the schematic.

Like other experimenters, I have found a higher volatge works best and that optimum light output is had with the lamp working at around the manaufacturers rating. I can run at least two lamps in series and will be trying more in the next few days.

The driver runs silently and the lamps can be dimmed by reducing the supply current with a suitable variable resistor.

I have tried the relay method and transistor oscillator with an ignition coil but in both cases results were much inferior. I have found that its important to get a fairly good impedance match between the series connected LOPT and pulse transformer.

A plus with this design is that unlike my previous circuits, a battery can be charged without any noticeable drop in lamp light level.

I feel that this design would make a worthy emergency or camping light system and I thank Imhotep for giving us all the opportunity to work open source on this worthy project.
