anyway...what can an inverter do that my kapagen cant??
and where's your kapagen??? show me a joule thief youve built and at least that would be a start!!!
Why don't you use a 12VDC deep-cycle battery and a 12VDC-input NST or a Flyback Transformer to power your Kapagen's output coil? You might have better results powering one incandescent lamp. According to J. L. Naudin's Kapagen Replication Page, Dragon was able to successfully power one incandescent lamp with his 120VAC-input NST. You could replicate his work and substitute a 12VDC-input NST instead of a 120VAC-input NST and probably get the same results.
However, if you are only going to power one incandescent lamp with your 12VDC-input Kapagen, you might as well obtain an inverter and power the three CFLs instead.

from 12V dead lead acid car battery it's very possible maybe even to light 100W bulb for a moment

there are a million and one ways you COULD do it....Originally posted by vidbid View PostI suppose it is possible to build a 12V-Input Kapagen using a NST or a flyback transformer. As to the power output, that would depend in part on the design and construction of the output transformer.

The point is to do it and show.

Smart Guy
If you want those threads, then you'll have to make them yourself or wait until somebody else does it for you because I won't.Originally posted by seth View PostYou have to see the funny side i spose
I was thinking of getting my 6V battery connected to my kapanadze at some point.....2 new threads please....110V kapagens and 6V kapagens.
Who knows.. maybe you can start one for a 9v battery, one for a 1.5v battery, and another one for a 0.5v solar cell.

Kagagen : 12V Input : NST or Flyback Transformer

very well answered! i agree with you vidbid, each "kind" of the device should have is own thread, because all them in the same thread, will be confusing to us all!
your the man
