The Energy Cleaner ... personal experiences

[Dupe]

Dupe, I haven't had the chance yet to go and build this but will one day soon. Thanks for all of your help explaining things out. I have another question that I've been working on figuring out and you might be able to help me? Do you have an idea on how a guitar Ebow works? I have a general idea on how they work, yet I'm sort of clueless. Reason I ask is I'm looking to build my own. Here are some links explaining the device -

Ebow Technical Analysis
EBow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
YouTube - E-bow diy ask me how to make your own! Over Marooned- pink floyd - A guy built his own here.

Thanks bud!

Hi, Would you believe I played in a band (group) during the early sixties, I'm giving my age away now! well anyway...yes I can understand how it works, the tricky bit would be sorting the coils out. You could probably use a scrap guitar PU coil to feed an opamp circuit, but may have to scrat around and experiment with an output coil. in both cases the coils don't contact the strings of course. Make a simple chassis to allow the coils to be moved in such away to realise the best results. Once you find the best positions you can fabricate a housing for the electronics. I notice in one of the video links, he has mounted the pick ups permanently under the G string. Not a bad idea if this is how you want to go. So have ago!! it's cheap enough for bit's required and there's a wealth of information on the web regarding opamp circuits, for you to put something together.
@ Everyone please forgive us the off topic drift from subject matter.
Thanks for comming back and... Hey don't loose sight of the "Energy Cleaner" when you are 'under the weather' Kind Regards Dupehttp://www.energeticforum.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Thanks again Dupe! Haha I probably should have just sent you a message regarding my question. I'm going to see if I can go and throw something together within the next few weeks

That's great, I have sent you a PM. Regards Dupe

rough replica

hi guys,

i'm working on a rough replication to experience any effect that might occur.
i used some card board, took the length/ width of my body and covered it in aluminium foil. for the beginning i wanted to do a session of one 1 hour switching every 15 minutes and compare it with one hour switching every 3 minutes. as i don't have a timer circuit yet i can'T use it overnight which i would really love to.

so dupe could you maybe send a photo of your easiest wall clock switch from different angels and how it is connected to the mesh.

hope some people are still active

cheers,

Hi Prato, I take it you saw my thumbnail image at posting (57) of a simple mechanical unit. All my versions are electronic using a micro controller... the mechanical unit will work ok and is simple to put together. I used a battery operated clock module for mine and made a shaped four segment cam... a push fit onto the hour time shaft. The switching lever needs to be a very light action so not to cause friction against the cam. This method will give four 15min switched intervals during each hour of course. Use any suitable material that you can work with easily to fabricate your switching cam. I used thin aluminium sheet for mine... around 3 inches end to end. Don't make the diameter to large an area otherwise the clock motor will struggle to actuate the micro switches leaver resulting in a slower time period. The centre pole of the switch is taken to your screen while the other poles are connected to the battery pack as per diagram. Hope this info helps you put something together. Post back with your findings... Kind Regards Dupe

Thanks

@Dupe

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions I looked at your pictures earlier but didn't know what the black thing touching the clock was. Just now I gave it a thought and came up with a very simple but maybe stupid idea. I hope there's enough time tomorrow to give a try, then I'll let you know.

Getting excited

Hi Prato... The black thing you mention is the micro switch, these devices are simply a mechanical change over switch operated by a pivoted lever (some have a small roller attached at the operating end which further reduces friction and makes the switching sequence smooth. The switch has three electrical contacts (see this link and description...Miniature snap-action switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) the one marked C or COM connects to your screen. The other two contacts are marked NO and NC... wire one of the contacts to batteries +ve and the other contact wire to batteries -ve The diagram drawn with the arrow is the internal workings of the micro switch in diagramatic form and the common connection marked as an arrow in my sketch simply makes contact with either one of the remaining contacts as the switch is operated. Hope this helps with you project. Regards Dupe

Timer Fail!!!

Hi Dupe,

I tried to built a very crude mechanical driver with partly success.
Good news it worked somehow.
Bad news I was puzzled and removed the wrong pointer and just realized when all the work was done
Anyway I bought a new clock and will redo
Let's see if it'll work.
Cheers
