Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator---Solar powered

WOW!! This is starting to go really fast as each one of us applies what we know to this. I really quick made a video showing it running on a solar panel with no battery on the drive. I also showed how it can run multiple flourscent bulbs in series and how little current they actually use. WOW! YouTube - Imhotep Radiant Oscillator -- Solar powered

Hi all,
I have played around this circuit the whole day and after this I came to some conclusions.
1. It doesn't seem to matter if or what condenser you are using. I tried many caps as the condenser. From 0.01uF to 100uF, did not notice any difference at all. Just the bigger capacity cap used to heat up. I got all the same results even if I did not use any condenser at all.
2. It appears that the relay coil resistance does matter. All my relays have a resistance under 100 ohms, that makes them trigger at lower voltages and low voltage at the primary side of the induction coil means also lower voltage at the HV side. I used a small neo magnet to "help" the relay so that more voltage var required for the contacts to close. This made it possible to go from from 5v to 10v with the same current (1A). I have an adjustable power supply so I can adjust the voltage and the current draw. I set the current so that it does not get higher than 1A. And using the help from the magnet, I hot twice the voltage on the primary side and much more brightnes out of the bulb. Here is a picture of the magnet/relay config.



The magnet is placed directly at the relay coil core. If you attach the magnet with the right pole, you will make the relay to trigger at higher voltages, but the relay coil will get hot soon. Also if you use too strong magnets, it will attact the contact through the coil core and close them.

I think that the higher the voltage is across the lightbulb, the brighter the light will be. I will try to find a better induction coil with more secondary windings. Also, has anyone of you already tried tu use the water spark circuit for this

[Bodkins]

Wow that is some low amp draw. Cant wait to see your video!

And just to clarify are you running all those bulbs at the same time or each one individually? And how is the light output?

sorry they was a brightness drops was trying it in day light and not tested correctly the next video will help explain.

Excellent observations. I too have played with the little neo's on the relay. Also you want to watch out on where you place the relay in your circuit. You dont want to have your relay too close to the Ignition coil because the magnetic field is so strong. Maybe if we all ask Peter very nicely and with lots of pretty please's he will show us where you cannot place the relay at all :P from,~*Shiva*~

Yea and I had come up with the same conclusion. The coil resistance I think matters the most, and its just a matter of finding the right pieces of the puzzle for them to totally mesh together a create a high light output as well as low current draw. once we are able to find the values that seem to compliment each other we can simplify the search for the needed parts.

Circuit please?

I have been following this thread with great interest. However, for the benefit of those who only have dialup, could someone please post the circuit schematic as a jpg?

Many thanks.

wow running on solar, and it goes a step further. excellent video, really nice solar panel

the schematic is on my faq on the lite at Imhotep's Laboratory | Renewable Energy here is the direct link Imhotep's Laboratory FAQ • View topic - **~Imhotep~**'s Radiant Oscillator Lite Released enjoy and have fun building and evolving the circuit

[ashtweth]

Imhotep/ Guys no thank you for a great Doc ...Ill add all your updates in it or you

Ill also be able to try this soon and post some results, assimilating the technology with existing geo thermal /Solar is waaay smart, this is going to make it very hard for them to ignore.

Thank you very much for that. I'm hoping to adapt it to run my HHO gen. Now, studying, studying...

kind regards,

0.25 amp draw 4 bulbs three 11watt one 7watt.
with one bulb its 0.40amps but around half the light if from the wall.

hope people find this use full
good lucky fork

ps. waterhouse24 your from chesterfield im in sheffield small world!!!!

ps. waterhouse24 your from chesterfield im in sheffield small world!!!!

Very small world.. Nice to know I have a free energy neighbour

Just in the process of taking my second CFL to pieces now

[waterhouse24]

OMG!!! I have got the current draw down to 0.25 amps!! lighting 2 bulbs at bright power..

Will post a video and show this today... wooo hoo well excited..

So now running 2 CFL's on just 3 watts of power

Kingman's Replication

Hi All, I got my replication running last night. I used the same parts as Imhotep's setup. I found reasonable brightness on my single 125 watt equivelent bulb. The only issue I had was that my relay started to heat up after about 1 minute of run time. It got to the point where I could no longer hold it between my fingers because it was to hot. I double checked my circuit and do have everything hooked up correctly. My amp draw is around 3.5 amps from the primary batt. That is probably why the relay is heating up. I have several pots of various ohm ratings that I'm going to try on the relay and befor the relay to see if I can make a difference in this heating up problem as well as brightness of the bulb. I will also try another bulb in series for I have two of the same bulbs ready. Harbor Freight has a great deal on a 45 watt solar system until August 11th. for $189.99, regular price I think was $245 It has three panels and a charge controller.
Of course they didn't have any in stock but I got a rain check to hold my price until the units come in. I would like to use solar to run this lighting system and it will work great once we get this amp draw down to under a 1amp draw. This is exciting technology. Imagine lighting your whole house for penny's of electrical cost that you create yourself. Stephen

Here it is..

2 CFL's on 3 watt power:

YouTube - 3 Watt - Free Energy Radiant Oscillator Lite

I bet we could double the brightness by using another coil and keeping the draw to only 0.5 amp. This would definitely be usable lighting!!

[theremart]

Wow!

Waterhouse you got something there!!!!

Going out for parts today!!!

Question, my ignition coil that I have no resistor, will it be ok to use with the light circuit?
