Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator Video

[Aromaz]

@Lidmotor - Thank you for the info. Mospec is a Taiwan company with strong ties to Mainland China. I called my big supplier in Bangkok, they do not keep them; said they failed plenty in sound amplifiers. But then the Thai's realy do boost sound to the max. I ever only found the Egyptians more in love with noise!

@Nat - That is the same that I have. Quite flat on the hat-top, slightly greyish where most others are slightly domed and smooth/polished. Happy to see you also have good results with them.

Anybody tried to use this or the original Imhothep circuit with a lifter?
but must use ignition coil. I am looking for few ideas, got to make one by next week to win a bet!

in my replication of the aromaz circuit they were ST 3055's....works really well too.....really bright lights

i was fiddling with this cricuit the other day too and i got the lights even brighter but they were pulsing by connecting two earths.....one to base of 2n222 and the other to the lights....lights not connected to negative of ignition coil.....quite odd

Radio Shack Transistors

@Lidmotor: What brand name of 2222 and 3055's are you using?

I got the transistors at Radio Shack. The 2n3055s say Mospec on them and the package says made in the Philippines. The 2n2222s come in a package of 15 and who knows who makes those. The package even says 2n2222 "like" npn transistors. I think that I will order the next batch from some where.

...... "tickle" the base of the 2222 ....

The non standard transistor variable

Aromaz ---I just had a similar day with terrible results due to transistors not all being the same. Just when I thought that I had something nailed down I would try it with different parts and it would not work the same or not work at all.
I did discovered that you can "tickle" the base of the 2222 by using the energy radiated out of the ignition coil casing. I just wrapped a 1/4" band of aluminum foil around it and attached it with a clip lead to the transistor base. That provided the feed back for the oscillator. I still had to touch it to start it.

Aromaz I have the 2n3055 need time to setup for you rep. try one wire charging Aromaz?

Richard you do weird things and you get weird results. Last time I heard a similar sound was the police pulling me over for speeding!

Yes, I did try one wire charging before - and two wires. No charge.
As in one of my last video's the energy just leaks right out of the capacitor casing as corona - and I used diferent ones.

Since we know somehting of the radiant energy now, I doube that we would be able to collect that in good form into a cap or battery. At best we would be able to use the RE to create a normal EM effect and store that into the cap, yes.

Amongst other things I intend building a very powerful cap with glass dielectric, copper plates and will seal all in transformer oil bath.

Coherers work with only low voltage?

Or maybe I can fiddle with construction to get one to work with higher voltage...

What's interesting is on this page the guy says he thinks a spark gap up to 20ft away causes a bit of current in the coherer which turns it on...

Could be a good indicator of radiant energy.

Running on just 2222s

@ Aromaz,Ren, Bodkins,Inquorate,Nat, Hoppy,Xenomorph,--others

@Ren -- I did more testing with your 2 transistor circuit. I pulled the 2n3055 and ran it on two 2n2222s. Yes -- I burned em up but I had a bunch so I did not care. I ran a test at that very low amp draw/low light and did it using a bank of super caps instead of a battery. At 40 milliamps or less the little 2222s hung in there pretty good. This circuit will go into a low light strobe effect and run on almost nothing if the base of the first 2222 is just connected to a short clip lead. Touching the clip lead or connecting it to earth ground makes it go into the 40 milli amp steady light mode. I think that this is a feed back effect. Maybe the coils setup the resonance. The scope waveforms were compound but the dominate one had a tall spike with a little squiggle at the end.

@Aromaz---I have also been playing with diodes in different places and think that there is a way to protect the transistors from back spike burn out by putting the right one somewhere in the circuit.

@Inoquorate & Bodkins----The earth ground and antenna are still a puzzle for me. Now that I have a scope, I can see what they are doing to this circuit but how to best use the effect is the question.

BTW - on my original circuit - for those still playing with it.

I am also a bit tired or resoldering 3055's all the time, so I used many diodes all over to try and see how the 'flow; is.

Strange observation, might clip video later.

A: Sometimes flow is away from battery POS, next time again that does not work. Change the diode around - and working with flow (diode arrow) TO POS of same battery.

B: HV Probe (Have 5Kv) without spark gap jumping - emitter leg of 2222 circuit goes to 640Vdc (860 hz) - only connected to 24V Dc battery, and have 4007 diodes connected to both battery terminals. Steady sine wave. The HV from coil is only going out to fluorecent tube with coil wind around which is connected to 4 CFL's. Earth not connected anywhere.

C: Exactly same setup, but use earth to kickstart spark over gap (0.8 mm) then the scope goes crazy with 2.54 kHz frequency and 1,600 Volt - on emitter leg of 2222. Still steady sine wave - but crazy with many spikes. In other words - this is then going to the other 3055's on Base - BUT only in some cases. Other times it is steady low at 20 to 30 volt.

Now going to sleep, think and dream - and read about 'cohere' in bed. Will be back tomorrow to continue this seeking of the reason behind tranny failures..

OK, got it. But I can save you a lot of elbow work!

Still following up on how to what the effects might be

[Aromaz]

@ Aromaz lidmotor ren bodkins xenomorph and newbies who's names I don't remember yet:

what about a coherer? Will a coherer (iron filings in a sealed glass tube) turn 'on' with 12 to 24 volts? if so, will the current then charge a capacitor to ground (will get to infinite resistance for a dc current) until a resistor becomes a better choice, and current flows (thru ignition coil primary) to an electromagnet coil which creates a strong enough field to ground to knock out the coherer...

Using a variable cap and pot / reostat would change the timing.

I have everything to try it but the iron filings (which would take a long time to make enough to almost fill a glass eyedropper tube), and just wondering if anyone thought it would 'cohere' at low voltage.

Just thinking. Couldn't sleep.

What is THAT? I was on my way to bed .....
Now on the way to Google!
