Joule Ringer!

[minoly]

Not a true attempt at a replication here, I just wanted to show how simple and elegant Lasersaber's ckt is. one of the easiest we've used to light a cfl, easy in the sense that there are only a few yet very tangible variables.
I can also light 196 5mm bright white LED's to full brightness @ about 6 volts and 300mA (not in the vid)

Thanks for sharing as always.
still interested in what made you think of adding that diode there... was it just on a whim?

Here is my picture with 15 W cfl...

Update:
Much better result for just a little bit more current coast.

Hi all

as i don't know the material of the ring toroid that Lasersaber used in his experiment, i try something with my TV conical toroid (idea inspired by T1000 and the TK team)

so i got some interesting results , i think

And especially arround 3.5 volts and 50 ma, where i get increasing ringing on my scope. ( taken on the secondary )

You are on the right way! The increasing ringing means same ferrite exciting effect we had with Tesla coil+D. Smith mix and way to OU! Check out our team video from first experiment in Aidas / FreeEnergyLT / FreeEnergyLT -> International Friends for Tariel Kapanadze part #2 working OU !!! - YouTube

Cool stuff Do you get increasing ringing in toroid too?

@Lasersaber
Thanks for the great video showing your whole setup. I want your car!!!
The batteries are another facet of your project that is very interesting. You are the first person I have seen using those type on a small solar power unit. Those would be great for my boat.

The toroid is going to be the problem here. It really reminds me of the "Jenny's Light" project where the design called for a big 3" toroid that ended up being impossible to find---cheaply. The ones we were using were surplus and the supplier quickly ran out once Jenny's design hit Youtube.
I have been searching for your Metglas toroid and, like you, have had no luck finding a low cost one.

I hope that someone can find a source for one that doesn't cost more than about $20. Your system looks like something ANYONE would like to have ----if the cost is realistic. I looked at the Harbor Freight solar panel package (now costs $179) and it actually looks pretty good. People look down on those amorphous cell panels but they work in low light and I have three on my boat that have worked well for many years. They might not last too long in the weather and the output isn't the best----but they do work.

PS----I am surprised about your use of the diode in the JT circuit. I gotta try that.

Lid, EM me your mailing address and I'll send you a 20% off coupon for Harbor freight. It will save you over $35.00 on the solar kit. It is good till 11/30/11 ,John [email protected]

nice Totoalas!
At what input does it cost to get full light?
I could barley read the meter with that light - or was it the camera dimming everything out?
thanks,

Joule Ringer with Darlington

Hi, I was experimenting with this circuit.
I made a Darlington pair with the "E13007F" and a "tip 41c"
It didn't work that well, it rings for about 3 minutes and not a lot of light. (±500µA with 12v power supply)

But one time the ground connector fell off the cold cathode tube and it lit very bright. And all of the lamps next to it lit also... the ringer effect was gone.
Strange fenomenon. I measured the frequency and it was around 26Khz and it draws around 200 mA and one transistor warms up.
If i cut the power, the light goes out...

This is where you are getting N.Tesla Wireless Electricity!
When the environment is excited, you get ionization of those tubes and your hand/wall provides ground connection for capacitive loop.

That was the best laid out vid Iv ever seen, I especially liked the assembly diagram,
When free energy is found this is the way it needs to be put out.

Thanks Patrick
@ 12 v the 3 w led lamps are @ its brightest in the original 10v dc set up om measuring with the lux meter(x100 scale)
warm white smoke diffuser less than 1
cool white smoke diffuser 1
cool white clear diffuser 1.5 the brightest
warm white clear diffuser 1.3

You produce incredible videos, experiments, replications. Your approach, documentation, and circuit layout is top notch, making your channel a great reference and learning experience. Thanks for all the extra you put into it, truly: thank-you!

I like that 6v version! Easy charged up with an inexpensive ($13) 9v 2 watt solar cell. Perfect.

CRT parts will be getting scarce

Hi all-- I'm new here; this is my first post.

It appears to me, from LaserSaber's youtube vids & others, that the bare CFL tube has the potential to be more efficient than line voltage LED lamps (the white LEDs ARE miniature CFLs, after all, but the emitting phosphor is tiny), so using CFLs rather than LED lamps is the direction I may want to be going.

I have noticed that some of you have been finding toroids to be unobtainium, and CRT parts like flyback transformers and yoke toroids will be harder to find going forward.

Other ferromagnetic and power parts are available in abundance, however, notably the high frequency transformers from computer switching power supplies (laptop brick and desktop), the switching transistors, and the input electrolytic capacitors.

Specifically, have any of you tried making HV using transformers from switching power supplies 'backwards' as producers of the HV necessary to power CFLs? These are expressly designed for high frequency operation -- the higher the frequency, the smaller one can make a device with the same energy output -- the designs you are using now look like they are in the audio range and some of them squeal a lot, so going to a higher frequency would help there too.

Also, there are components in the ballasts of CFLs that look promising; coils, HV transistors and 1N4007 rectifiers, for example.

I think something could be learned by reverse-engineering the one cell AA LED flashlights -- I have not had the time to do so, but noticed on casual inspection they do contain an active device and a very small inductor. <EDIT> Here is the scheme:
