That is very impressive!! I am looking forward to your how to, and schematic . Thanks for sharing.

Thats amazing. Whats the input power total? You talked about the amps, I missed the voltage..

Thanks
Matt

I have this working with a solar system in my workshop.

Hello!

I just wonder what is role of twisted 1 end loose wire is in transformer?

What it is used for? There is high voltage wire other end then twisted with wire on unconnected end (inductive capacitor role???) and signal wire wounded in parallel from other end for bifilar role.

Would be cool if someone points out the concept how it works.

Cheers!

disposable camera in AUS

great project, am working on it as well, but so far no luck.
have to order some of the stuff as it is not available in AUS - eg 1n60.

just a quick note on the disposable cameras.
i went to a photo processing centre and collected the ones they took the film out of.
the lady was saying i should have come a week earlier.
they had 20 cameras from a wedding

..... couple days later .......
ok, took 5 cameras apart, including a fuji.
not one has the transistor i need. you would think fuji would build the same model all over the world.
the transistors are not in the reference list of the ones used here either.

when the diodes arrive, i will just test them all and see if i have any luck.

.... even later ........
after pulling apart 17 cameras, i finally found one with the C5720.
only the one shown in the picture had one.
6 kodak cameras had different components and board layouts in them. very odd.

I built the transformer as described by lasersaber. Wow. It's probably the most efficient yet. It's got a lower frequency, which seems to help it use less current.

For anyone winding this thing, I spent hours this Sunday making mine. I used a half inch drill bit in my cordless drill and then put a piece of cloth over the drill bit, stuffing that into the plastic bobbin. The drill then allowed for faster winding, although if you are anything of a perfectionist, it's still not that quick.

@lasersaber--thanks for the video! What the heck is the 6 feet of twisted wire for? I was cursing you the whole time I was trying to work through that part of the design. Have you made one without the twisted wire?

Thanks a lot LaserSaber!

Thanks for share. very helpful. Good Luck LaserSaber.

Multiple LCR circuit testing?

The simple computer model confirmed that kinetic energy of air molecules can be brought-in via tuning forks in resonance.

Can LCR circuits be treated as tuning forks? Can electron motion energy of orbiting electrons be brought-in via LCR resonance circuits???

The Steven Mark device may be a case of two LCR circuits in resonance with the toroid.

Can the Joule Ringer be multiple LCR circuits in resonance???

@conradelektro

That drawing looks right on to me. You did a nice job drawing that out. As you noticed there is a free end on the twisted wire buried in the coil.

@lasersaber: thank you for the nice video!

Because I want to wind such a transformer, I made a little drawing. It will serve as a note when winding the transformer.

Please have a look at it, is it right? The free end of the twisted length is embedded in the coil (not connected to any pin)?

What transistor do you use? What is the Voltage of the starting charge of the electrolytic capacitor?

Greetings, Conrad

Hi,
Nice Video indeed, Ty.
Lasersaber did you take a Fuji transformer apart, to figure out how to wind this?
Because i wonder, why they do so, and it looks like a efficient Transformer, more then the 80% what are normal. Would point out, that they do know, how to make them, just hide it in very small parts like this little Flashlights. Or it is your additional Coil there.
This Triggercoil reminds me at a Micrrowavetransformer, the Frequency comes there at the Midle in also.
Did you tried to place another Pot once to the Base of the Base and adjusting there?

Hi Lasersaber,
Great video!. Now let us build it! I will commence to wind the beast at once.

At 12 volts with a 22,000 uF cap, run time was 8 minutes on my first try with a cap and resistor (no bifilar). It's worth mentioning that that's the best run time I've ever gotten with one of these circuits. I think if I tweaked it more, I could get longer by changing out capacitance and resistance. That was just my first attempt at run time.

The circuit is hooked to a negative type voltage multiplier. It's surprising that it works so well, since it does put out mostly pulsed DC, but it does work. My lab smelled of ozone for quite some time after my experiments!

I ordered a couple transformers from amazing1.com (28k089) and hooked them up joule ringer style. They work great in the circuit below. I got the potted version and they seem to be able to produce the best high voltages when you crank up the power by decreasing resistance across the caps:

Nice sparks. Thanks for posting your results. How long will it run from a charged capacitor?

Normally a voltage multiplier needs AC to work. But this type of circuit mostly puts out pulsed DC. How did you connect the voltage multiplier? What ever you did seems to work great.
