Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator Video

[**~Imhotep~**]

An article on Power Factor Correction and CFL's, mentioning **~Imhotep~**'s brilliant modifications, published today at:

OpEdNews

Thx for the info, and for bringing this interesting subject out. I deeply appreciate all you and the others here do; and some day the world may too...

Without people like you-all around, i would have to write about how corrupt the world of Professional Bowling is, or perhaps report on the Swiss giant flying dog-doo incident of last week

Excellent article. You always do great work. I hope you have replicated the Imhotep Fan and the Imhotep Lite. Looks like you might need it

I hope not tho. But we are all keeping a ear to the ground on that storm thats coming up on your back door. Keep up the great work. And cant wait for the next article.

Shiva will be adding a section to the website that will link to the various news articles including the ones that you have written.

thx m8's

No worries, i'm confident Faye will not be a bad one. I once dated a girl by that name in my youth and she was "Schweet!" So i can't imagine this one being really dangerous, lol. Btw she dumped me for another guy with better prospects (i was a pothead slacker and student at the time with long hair and hip-hugging bell-bottoms).... Which is exactly what i hope this hurricane does!

Please excuse the ride into senseless nostalgia (those under 40 just skip this part lol):

BTW i got a real amazing thrill the other day that took me back to the Good Old Days. Found this concert vid and you know what.. I WAS THERE! No kiddin' (probably with Faye boogyin' down at my side hehehe). We were big SSJ and Springsteen fans in Cleveland, and The Boss used to play the small clubs for fun there even years after he became famous:

YouTube - Southside Johnny (w/ Springsteen) - I Don't Want To Go Home

I remember it like it was yesterday. BTW i used a fake ID to get in, i was only 14... that's my story and i'm stickin' to it lol.

keep an eye on the storm and i hope you are correct .i am ready any way it turns out . with many batteries, fans and cfls . great clip i remember those guys.

The nosie maker im using needs a hv coil collapse before the ignition coil,(using to much power to tigger at the mo ) I have not YET worked out how to do this.
Im thinking of using the 555 to pulse the relay then sending the relay coil collapse to the trigger on a bedini ciruit.
What You Trying?
Also where did you get the BMW coil from? All i cant get is ignition Packs from the scrap yard.

All i do is ask you question Question,Sorry

I'm trying anything new at the moment.. I want to perfect the setup I have first in regards to brightness output. But once that is satisfactory then i'll move to 555.

I got the BMW coil from a scrap yard. They only had 2 coils, so might be worth trying a different scrap yard as they are harder to find these days. Otherwise ebay works out about the same price for a used old coil.

this has happen to me also, Got the 555 plusing from the 9v plugin adaptor.
the blub is really drim but no amp draw.Need more time to check what going on.Working nights next week so will play and verfiy whats going on.

Some test and some thoughts.

I'm back again

On my HV supply I made another transformer 3:110. It is able to drive 8 pcs. series connected 120cm 36W CFL's closed loop with higher than ordinary brightness. My luxmeter has not arrived yet, so no number qualification.

The following applies to the original Imhotep circuit:
I tried the bulb and a 15 turn 500 ohms potentiometer, and it works nicely for me also. I got it running at 3,3V@150mA, but with my home made "ignition coil" not much intensity. I expect to receive some sports ignition coils within a week.

But it made me wonder about the capacitor parallel to the primary. It has been previously stated it did nothing for the circuit, just reduced the wear of the contact set, and I have also seen no change.

But today the cap was removed, and the intensity dropped.

It has consumed some thoughts, this small "simple" circuit, a bit confusing with this new radient energy.

Until convinced otherwise I consider the function as this:

With a particular transformer secondary and CFL + connection wires we have a resonance frequency in this secondary circuit.

Likewise we have a resonant frequency on the primary dependent on the components on the primary side.

I think the goal is to adjust this circuit, so the secondary resonance frequency is a multiplum of the resonance frequency on the primary side, and that this multiplum is not too large.

I think we can maximize the output if these conditions hold.

I consider the primary circuit a parallel LC resonant circuit, so to find the optimum setup we have to somehow determine the resonant secondary frequency, and then adjust the primary frequency. When we have obtained the resonance, we then have to to see how much we can reduce the excitation energy by reducing the duty cycle.

As our oscillator is a mechanical oscillator, we are quite limited in adjusting with our bulbs, pots and neos. And this circuit is vulnerable to drifting parameters.

With my limited experience on this subject and no experimentation so far, I don't know if we need the spark gap, or we can go solid state without sacrificing the efficiency.

I have seen lots of intensity with my HV supply but I have not seen yet whether this is just as efficient.

I would also like if some of you guys with the best brightness so far could take a CFL more of the same type, so it is possible to relate the radient brightness to the brightnes of the ordinary driven CFL on a video

If it is hard to get meaningful shots because the camera gets "blinded", may I suggest showing the relative brightness by putting a piece of white paper between the CFL's and the camera.

If it is possible to get the effect without a spark gap I have made a solid state circuit sketch of a down to the bone circuit with this functionality.

Bipolar exitation of the LC primary, and a diode plug circuit on the primary to make pulse charging of the battery from the diode plug via an opto isolated SCR.

Two buttons to control frequency and duty cycle, and the number of primary cycles before a plug discharge to the battery. Simultaneous pressing the pushbuttons for 5 seconds, the current setting is stored for use at next power up.

If this is considered a good idea, i can present the diagram, and if still a good idea I can make a small PCB layout with parts list and a binary file to program the tiny45 with easy to obtain cheap programmers.

I can easily imagine how much time Imhotep and Peter has used so far, so this would just be a small contribution to make this small tool for you, so you can get the functionality without having to be an uController expert.

A uContoller oscillator is quite stable, so this curcuit is less vulnerable to drift. If the circuit is a success, the resonance condition can be fed back to make a closed regulating loop to maintain resonance. This technique was also employed by Stan Meyer in the VIC circuit.

Comments are very welcome.

Ps. Do not buy routers where you can not replace the original unsafe firmware with safe up to date open source firmware.

Imhotep's Radiant Oscillator-- More circuit modfications

I made more changes today with good success. 1) I tried Mart's bulb ballast with my rheostat. 2) I switched to a 100 watt daylight CFL. 3) I put a 680 ohm resistor where the 1k pot was. 4) I placed a 4500uf 45 volt cap between Mart's bulb and the negative lead from the drive battery. 5) I turned off the CFL while the system was running and noticed almost no change in the current draw. Here is the video. This thing just keeps getting better and better. Lidmotor

I just put the capacitor in WOW. smoothed out the jitters to the bulb, voltage rise on charging battery. Slight more draw on primary, but well worth the gain.

Magnet functions as arch extinguisher.

Lidmotor, excellent

Also nice your video gives an impression of the absolute light output.

I got the effect too, and although not up to full brightness of normal, it is a nice step for me.

I now get all too much arching in the contacts, so I played some more with magnets. Apart from influencing frequency, the most important property of the magnet is arch extinguishing resulting in increased brightness.

I switched the neo for a ceramic and found a position, so the magnet corner was close to the contacts, then the aching noise disappeared improving brightness. I then slightly touched the contact arm raising the frequency to 1 kHz improving brightness more.

Now my primitive "ignition coil" delivers 3500 volts spikes @ 1 kHz. I look forward to receive the ignition coils ordered and to try the double coil configuration.

The addition of the cap shows the same amplifying effect as with my HV supply, just like Tesla said.

Hi Eric, Mart Lid et all.

I just got this back form Rob, (the guy i posted who has the solar free enregy patents)

Hi Ash, I hope all is well with you. As for myself I've been occupied with some pressing health issues. I've pretty much have put all my efforts on my ideas on the back burner. I would like to share with you some interesting research that may concern the electric light generator concept. According to a interview done with Thomas Valone (free energy news update 12-24-2007) He claims that the ability to generate more than one electron from a photon of light has been demonsrated by Los Alamos Labs. He goes on to say that the Konarka corporation has developed a solar panel that operates with background room lighting. He says he has done a report for his integrity research corporation concerning this "revolution in solar energy" is the name of the report. I haven't seen this report. Here is the link to this interview (if this link doesn't go thru I would suggest going to the archives of Sterling Allens free energy news updates 12-24-2007)

Leading Scientists and Thinkers on Energy – Dr. Thomas Valone | Scientific Blogging
I'm first to say that I'm not an engineer or a scientist and it is hard for me to explain how my solar panel concept operates on a different principle than most solar panels on the market today.

[hh1341]

Can't seem to get the point welding and arcing to stop.

I have used 1000 ohm and several cap values with little improvement.(not much in the way of caps in the junk box)

Tried two 10uf 370v oil filled in series (5uf) ......no joy.

One second of light is encouraging, though.

Thanks Imhotep, Peter and everyone!

Just wanted to say thanks for such a great effort on behalf of so many members here in creating and developing the radiant oscillator circuit.

I decided i would replicate the basic circuit using a 9 volt (12 amp) relay to begin with so i might follow the development of the circuit to its current state of progress.

I'm using a :
-Accel (model 8140C) 12 volt performance coil
- a 9 volt (12 amp) SPDT Relay
- Condenser from a Briggs and Stratton repair kit
- 100 ohm - 1k ohm pot and a 100 ohm resistor (relay)
- 1uf 100volt cap and 1 k ohm resistor on (relay)
- testing batteries are 12 volt 4.5ah
- 1n4007 diode (backend)
- two 3 level 12/20/26 watt (50/75/100 watt equivalent) coil florescent bulbs


Fired up on my first try. Was pleased. It began by drawing 3.5 to 4 amps. I was ready with 3 flat dime sized rare earth magnets stacked up to to tune the relay as suggested. It took me quite awhile to search out an efficient placement on the relay to achieve a reading of around .5 amps. (between 4.5 -6 volts) I also observed that the circuit would seem to draw less as the it ran quite naturally. Not exactly sure why that is. It was suggested that it was due to the warming of the relay. Could possibly be due to the conditioning of the bulbs as they run as well, i might suggest. At first i hooked up one bulb and had ran it for nearly an hour before i decided to hook the second bulb up in parallel with the first. Initially the two bulbs were very uneven in their luminosity. However, it was not more than an hour or so before they were much more evenly illuminated.

As far as charging on the secondary battery i have witnessed an increase from 11.50 to 11.89 volts in relatively short period (about twice as much as i've spent on the primary battery). I'm really impressed with the basic set up already. Just ran a short test run. Need to button down all my loose ends before really testing the charge rate.

Other than that i haven't made any other real major observations. The relay has been warm, however i'm not too concerned. It seems to be a moderate temperature at best. ( might need a ssg fan ! :P)

Plans for setting up a 555 timer to replace the relay as in other replications.
If anyone can see something i'm doing incorrectly please advise.

Thanks again to everyone here. Great community.
Heres a pic of my first set up.
Oh ya and thanks Lidmotor for waking me up to this thread!

Crazy redcovery ideas

Guys on EVGRAY forum they are talking about using UV LED's and luminous paint which can glow for up to 12 hours (low power tho) Almost done on the Solid state version will post soon.
