Alexkor Air Core Coil Radiant Charger

[otten]

Any ideas?

[SkyWatcher]

Hi otten, thanks for sharing, i never took notice of that atmospheric collector setup by alexkor.
The capacitor shown will work, with more power available with more modules, the frequency of discharge should rise.
If you raise capacitor capacity, then it will slow discharge frequency and give more current through scr, etc.
Wish i had some germanium or schottkys to try it.

Oh, really thanks for reply!
Sorry, yesterday I write here, but operation with server do not save my post.
I must try to build more powerfull prototype of system with new details. Today maybe I order new diodes with capacitors etc. At this moment my system with wrong bad elements give me about 25 volts and (not shure) 45 milliampers for 1 minute waiting from the start. System not include thyrystor and neon tube. If I touch outer contacts each other after 2-3 minutes from start I every time see good spark. And one bad news)) My multimeter died when I start system last time for checking current and voltage. This spark kill him)
My antenna in the roof-level is coaxial satellite cable about 35 meters. Ground contact is attached to central water radiator in my room in second level. After I order new elements need to try another wire on open air in my garden, and good ground contact.

Add more antennas

Hi Otten,
I thought I posted this message some days ago....
looking at Chapter 6 PJK's book, I read that running more antennas in parallel will increase the power. Have you considered this ?

Hi Sean! Yes I see your previous message and agree with this point. Really need to find a more meters of single core copper wire with good diameter and try to go on open air and build prototype with new elements. They come via post in 1-2 week, then I go to try. Find a good quality wire is a first that I should do at this moment. Ground contact in the garden is a piece of steel ~1.5 cm diameter and about 1.2 meter of length that was deep in the ground by hammer. No roof at this place and it should be good for moisture. But maybe I do another ground contact with deep massive metal plate.
Best regards!

It is important to appreciate that there are two totally different Alexkor designs, one featured in Chapter 6 and the other, possibly a reworking of Tesla's 685957, in Chapter 7.

They should not be muddled together. In fact, they should have separate threads.

[otten]

It's true. I create new thread later.

[SkyWatcher]

Hi all, figured I would just bump this thread instead of creating yet another thread topic, as I did not realize how many i have actually created.

So I decided to revisit the alexkor type charger using the 555 timer.

This time, I'm using mosfets, 4 very low resistance types in parallel. SSP45N20B 200V N-Channel MOSFET

Using a 12 strand, 24awg. magnet wire air coil, which has low resistance.

I have set the 555 timer to output a duty cycle or on time of 22 percent.

The frequency is high, though stil just audible.

I have been running charge and discharge tests, using a 7 watt 12 volt led bulb and a voltage regulated 19.10 volt power supply as input.
I charted the average discharge watt/hours used and also the average charging watt/hours used on input.
Latest charge-discharge test, the 3rd one actually, is showing 143% efficiency.

I've been charging the 12 volt tractor battery up to 15.50 volts for each test, though I am altering that to 16.20 volts, for the next couple tests, to observe any changes.
As I have read that, 16.20 volts is the known proper voltage to charge lead acid batteries, for the last 80 years, since the standard 14.70 volts peak charging, causes the batteries to last only a couple years or a little longer.

Also using 2 ultrafast diodes in parallel for the flyback charging.

Will conitinue to test and share results.

Question about self-charging circuit

Hi everyone,

Been a long time before a finally got round to building Alexkor's self-charging circuit. (not the improved version mind you, but with the neon bulb in it)

However, I would like to ask whether anyone here has any ideas what I'm doing wrong here. I built the circuit with all the components as mentioned in chapter 6, but my transistor heats up really hard & fast, so I've had to shut things down within the minute every time. First time I connected it, it was up to over 100 degrees C because I walked away to get a cup of coffee. And I'm afraid that I am a bit of a newbie here, and have no clue why.

So any pointers/thoughts would be really appreciated :-)

I would of course post any details about the setup, but I don't really know what would be helpful when I made the circuit exactly as described...

Regards,
OT

Hi oldtimer, could you still share the circuit and details, so we know what you have, then maybe someone or I can help you.

I hope to learn so please involve photos of your build and the schematic.
Thanks Oldtimer.

Another Planet?

I hope to learn so please involve photos of your build and the schematic.
Thanks Oldtimer.

Just have to ask why you say your family is another planet. That one has me stumped.

Hi Skywatcher & Pot head,

Sure thing. The components I used are as described on page 6-33 and 6-34 of the pjkbook:
- swg 25 wire
- 2700 pF ceramic capacitor
- 2K resistor (2x 1K in series to be exact)
- MJE13009 transistor
- 1N5408 diode
- neon bulb from reichelt.de
- drive battery: UltraCell 12V/9Ah VRLA/sealed lead
- charging batteries: Ultracell 12V/12Ah VRLA/sealed lead

I've tried to tone things down a bit in terms of the transistor heating up by increasing the resistor value to 360K(!). Now it does indeed stay slightly cooler, but I've seen no actual charging of the batteries, it just seems like the power from the drive battery is converted to heat in the transistor without much else happening.

I've attached snapshots of the circuit diagram and the suggested implementation from the pjkbook, as well as pics of the setup and a closer-up of the strip with components.

I picked this circuit because it was simple, and wanted to use this as a starting point for learning more. Seemed simple enough, right? ;-)

So any suggestions would be most welcome!

Kind regards,
OT

Is that copper wire bare? It looks in the picture like it is just plain copper wire with no enamel coating. You have to use enamel coated copper wire or more commonly called magnet wire. Just like the kind used in electric motors.

Have you tried powering the circuit with the charging batteries disconnected? If you do that and the neon bulb does not light up then you have a problem in your circuit somewhere. Do NOT run it for long like that as the spikes can blow the transistor. The neon bulb is there to catch the spikes but you still get some getting to the transistor.

Also do you have any kind of test equipment such as a volt meter?

After you answer these questions then I may be able to help you figure out what is wrong. It appears you have everything wired up correctly as far as I can tell from the pictures.
