Use for the Tesla Switch

...
Unappreciated at first, the documents included a newspaper clipping from 1974 about an invention by Fred A. Baldinelli.
...
So, here is the original article, published in the Boston Evening Globe.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this article. In it, it is said that Baldinelli invented a burgler alarm that could be built into a door knob and also that Baldinelli held a patent on the present device.
Well I found three of his patent on the door knob alarm from the 1965-68 era, all three patents include the same topic, a signalling device built into a door knob. Here they are:

However, I have not found any other patent from Baldinelli nor from Anthony Galluccio on this "dual relay charger" device.

Are you or John aware of such patent? I would be interested to read it.

Thanks,

Hi folks, Ok I finally have found the best oscillator circuit that has good adjustable drive and doesnt heat the transistor, it was one posted by Ashweth I believe or someone in the Bedini solid state thread. Here it is, for those needing a nice oscillator circuit.

Tyson,

Not dissing the circuit (my name is ldissing, kind of funny).

The circuit you are referencing is going to be a fast oscillator. The one posted by JetiJS in post #67 can be adjusted way down to whatever you want with different capacitors and resistors.

According to JB, you need to run it slow at first, so we can understand what is happening. You you may never need to go really fast although, the JetiJS circuit can go really fast too (in the Mhz range I believe). It uses a simple 555 that everyone can get at the Shack, and a flip flop can be found easily, so it is very versatile, cheap and easy to build. The one posted by JetiJS, can be made to go down to the 2 hz range or lower very easily also.

AND, of course, the 3524 circuit of JBs can be made to go slow or fast, so we have all kinds of oscillators that are on this forum and work like a charm.

(In a previous post I said I was using the JetiJS circuit, but I have switched over to the 3524 because I wanted to use the duty cycle adjustments.) I did use the JetiJS circuit for the relay version and initial runs with the solid state 4 battery telsa switch and scalar charger!)

Hi Idissing, I posted re-posted that circuit because of this quote from JB.

Gang,
I will post a charger that Energenx makes for Solar, as everybody knows the efficiency of the panel is limited because it can't charge the battery correct. The solar panel does not work with white light it only works in the far inferred range. With a little engineering the panels will charge batteries in low light. The best way to see these gains is when you put nothing in. If you look at all the circuits I have posted you will see what John is talking about. Everybody should be working on what I call the Solar oscillator. The Joule Thief, independent invention from the SG energizer, but one in the same. I have seen Solar oscillators charge in the moon light. Once the panel is in low light your dead in the water as you can not charge anything. But if you take the low light convert it with an SG circuit you will charge batteries in low light. The Tesla Switch can also be made to work this way as I have done this many times, it's all about switching.
I will post what I can to help.
JB

So it says to me we need efficient switching.

Wondering

Did anyone ever wonder WHY JB used the H11D1 as the opto-isolator? There are plenty of other types out there. It is just what he had on hand, or is there another reason?

Leroy

P.S. I have my thoughts on this one, but I'm probably wrong...as usual.

and this from JB.

The Switching must work down to .7 volts and still work, radiant oscillators will do this and charge capacitors, which can be discharged into batteries. What we are looking at is a dual charger working at low levels.

Thanks Peter. I was wondering when that was coming.

Anyway. I got switch thats going and its doing good.

2 runs now, one at 1 hour the other is running now. Both at 2 hertz.
I am using Solid State Relays for the switch's. These are nice.
I gave up on a building an oscilator and went to radio shack and bot a Parralax Stamp2 Home work board. I got to say I was embarrassed to buy this thing but now that I did I wish I had a year ago. I set it up to drive the relays.
The switching costs cause it uses a 9 volt battery, but I am working on that. Any suggestions would be helpful.

The first run got 1 hour of runtime out of a motor No loss. The batterries snapped back at 20 minute.
The second is going now, I'll run it 12 hours. The P. Stamp 2 chip will shut the system off for me. But from looking at the batteries they have not dropped, below startup voltage. So I am pretty sure of the results.

I have found in my load a similiar wave to the one Mr John drawed. The best pictures are at YouTube - GNwave2.MPG.
The Surges have a difference of about 3 times that of what the motor usually runs on the scope and the spikes range between 60 and 80 volt.

This is another flick YouTube - GNWave.MPG.
I shut half the system off for second so you could see the wave real clear. It has some funny Shapes.

MR John If you get a chance to watch them could you let me know if this is what we are looking for. Thanks

Here some shots of my pile of wire.

Cool, thanks, I did not get that from your original post.

However, I will say that I was able to run the circuit posted by JetiJS off a capacitor while the system was running and charging the capacitor and running a bulb. No outside energy at all (except an initial charge on the cap), so that would seem to be pretty efficient too.

The key is in the switching per JB, and at higher power, that is required all the more. But, I do not think it was exactly the oscillator itself that he was talking about, IMO, it was how the components (transistors) are hooked up, and we need to be able to use low power in the switching to do it so we can run with a COP of infinity...Probably wrong again as I so often am, but I keep trying.

We are all just learning and unfortunately, JB can't say....all your troubles will be over if you do it like .....

Biasing the transistors properly will reduce the heat through them, but I'm still too stupid to understand. I'm still hoping to get it through that think skull of mine one day in the near future.

Looking at this trace again, it is interesting that what appears to be a deep pulse to the negative is randomly appearing.

Just like all of the rest of us EE's do (grab whats available and tune)

Bit's,

Well, I hear you on grabbing whatever is at hand, wish my EE skills were better too, been doing software too long....I thought about that, but my thought was that he is expecting high voltage spikes and some of the low voltage optos might fry? At least this was my thinking although, I'm sure he has those H11D1s around, since he uses them for his cap discharge circuits, etc. But, I'd bet he has plenty of other types around too, he probably has more parts around than Motorola :-),

I saw that too. Mathew, you are using solid state relays, right? There should not be any problems with the contacts in that type of setup, like with mechanical relays, so I wonder why it is not in every pulse? Maybe you could play with that timing a little bit and try to get that going on more often? Maybe the scope just can't catch it all the time?

Where are you scoping Matt? The output, or across the batteries, or where? I think you said across the load, but just want to be sure.

I can't do jack, I'm on the road, so I'm using you to live through, until I can get back!

Thanks,

Hi,
I will go on in slower pace now on, since in need better digest what JB has to say, and I will spend more time with my local "Master Foo" on BJT faring...

@ALL
consider this:

A. The solar panels react to only a narrow band in the far IR region of the solar spectrum, thus the low yield of energy. They are made of Silicium.

B. The BJT we use today are made of silicium - a opto uses an ordinary (almost) BJT and merely irrigates it with a IR led

C. open up (on a lathe) a TO-3 cased BJT and expose it to light - measure it - it produces energy from light (=far IR spectrum). You Have a nano Solar panel now

D. Use the same (lobotomized) BJT and irrigate it with Your favorite remote control: It will change resistance in accordance to the pulses it receives from the IR diode of the remote. You have Your personal opto now

E. "IR" is "heat" the more "far IR" the more "heat" - what if a "properly biased" BJT emits "heat" while "heating up" the junction (below 0.6V), just to absorb it back once in the "negative region" (just atop of 0.6V) and the more it has to absorb, the deeper it goes to "negative" region. Moreover, a correctly chosen BJT might even not stop in depleting the heat built up on the junction by its self- It might "sink" heat from the body and further from the environment?

SO, I go now examine my few "de capped" BJTs and play a bit.

I hope You all had enjoyable reading.

P.S. I have my thoughts on this one, but I'm probably wrong...as usual.

the H11D1 is one of the four H11D? Optical device of premium quality and features:

It has up to 1A SOA (at low voltages)
It has breakdown of above 200V on the output trannie (just like 2N3440 - the driver BJT)
It is no high speed device, but it might be fast under certain conditions...

The H11D1 would be my choice if i had a change of getting 100 pcs of only one sortie.
What would You choose?
FOD2030?

[Murlin]

Mr. Jones nice job.

2 HZ??? Wow...I would say I have a tad too much HP since I can switch @ 500HZ.
That's pretty fast, especially when Mr Bedini says that the magic happens somewhere around .5 sec...I will need to get me slower speed motor if I need to switch @ 2 HZ...

I was reading in this thread over 200 HZ and the batteries get weird.
I wish I would have found this place before I started designing, but Oh well
I have no doubt now that I can get mine to working sooner or later. I have ordered some better diodes and plan on doing some more testing this weekend.

A side note on those relays. I have a couple of those type in my CNC machine that operate the air chuck. I replace them on a regular basis as they will fail without any warning and with very little use

Don't know what that is all about...

Murlin

Optos and other stuff

Hi All - I don't think JB just grabs what's handy, ref the optoisolators. Since JB has made suggestive statements about how solid state devices can, under certain conditions (like hooked up and/or biased backwards), act as an energy gate for radiant spikes, JB's use of a specific opto might be dictated by how the transistor in that opto behaves in combination with the device it is trying to switch - just a guess (I'm still trying to digest JB's "1 Amp at DC" coment ref 2cd emitter breakdown). If so, it means one studies the details ad nauseum of how to match up components just as one concentrates on matching impedances. One of my problems is I'd love to really characterize the internal impedances of my batteries with my LRC bridge meter as a function of bridge frequency but I'm too damn chicken to risk the meter (as one can weld with these batteries with one simple slip). Jeez . . . so much to learn, but what a blast we're all having! Thanks JB -
