Table Candle II

I did another small flourescent light similar to my Christmas gift lights. Nothing special here except that I found out if you use a 'step down adjustable voltage regulator' with a standard inverter driver it allows for much better control of the power consumption. I put the whole thing in a little clear plastic cube and made a video of it. Just a fun little day project.

@Lidmotor; nicely done, as always.

You ever had a look at a search light? The older lights used a single little gas flame and it lit the sky to hundreds of meters. Well, if you now use reflectors which are duplicating onto itself you will be able to get enough light to read on the other side of the room. Also look more into the possibility of the new LED lights - normally they do run for days on small AAA battery.

@Aromaz---I think that LEDs are going to win the battle for the standard light bulb--not the CFL. I bought a little 3 LED camping tent light the other day that uses 4 AAs and it will run on low light for 130 hours. That is a tough one to beat.
The use of reflectors and lenses can really help any light. I quess that it depends on what you want to do with the light and where you want to put it. If you really want bright light, a good ole Coleman gas lantern is kinda like that search light you talked about. LOTS and LOTS of light from a small flame. On the boat I sometimes run a single mantle one with the hatches open for ventilation. It also warms the boat but I can only use it in port. It is too dangerous at sea.

@Lidmotor, nice video . Running the CFL for almost 100 hour is amazing. My emergency light with 12V gel battery last for 3 hour max. Congratulation.

Ever try to light up the LED with BEMF produced by your table candle? I think it would be enough to light up some LED.

I added a small lead acid battery and a 2 watt solar panel to my latest "Table Candle". I believe that I now have a solar powered self-sustaining light system. I even noticed that the light puts out enough lumens to generate some feed back energy from the solar panel. Something that we talked about here on this thread a long time ago.
Here is the video of it:

That is great !!!. Great work, looking forward for the self sustaining module .


Small update for joule thief circuit:
YouTube - BEMF of flat spiral vs tubular coil

Tesla flat spiral coil generate more BEMF and make the transistor cooler than normal air core tubular coil.

Conclusion from this experiment:
- Tesla spiral coil is effective for getting BEMF.
- Since tesla spiral coil said to have less magnetic capability, the key for more BEMF is utilizing coil that don't generate magnetism.
- Bigger coil should light up many LED.

Hi All,


Girlfriend went back to Florida so I have time to play again.

Built a couple things last couple of days.

1 was the cup capacitor Lidmotor turned me on to. Wanted to see how well it worked. That was 2 dollars from the dollar shop~

The other was I wound up a psuedo tesla coil, aka air core transformer. I have no idea if this thing is in resonance but I'm getting some decent sparks coming off it. About 2.5 cm or so.

Its 5.5 turns on the primary, roughly 325 turns on secondary. Its being powered by a SLA 12v battery and one of Lidmotors earlier 555/3055 combos. The coil I'm using is out of a 92 toyota celica. Seems to put out some stronger spark than the old canister type coil I have.

Spark gap is just a couple of stainless steel round nobs I got from the home depot for a few bucks each.


had some weird expierences yesterday. With the circuit hooked up and running, no cup cap connected, there was high voltage everywhere except the secondary winding on the tesla. Once I hooked up the cup cap, the only high voltage over the circuit was confined to the secondary.

I just used a neon held in myhand not connected to anything to see where the HV AC field was.

Anyways some pics. Snowing today so won't have much time to play since I have to work~

Ignore the mess, just your typical kitchen laboratory.

The Kitchen Lab

@ Mutten -- I wonder how many of the world's great inventions had their beginning in a kitchen lab. I can just see the guy stepping back with a snack in one hand, staring at the thing on the countertop, and asking himself: " I wonder if...."
One of the best things about what we are doing here is the sharing of ideas. Seeing something that you have done replicated by someone else and then improved upon. I liked your Tesla coil and now I have to make one.

Indeed, snacks are the most important part, that's what the peanuts and cookies are on the counter

Nice one

Thanks Bodkins!
Really illustrative set-up there.
So as i understand your video, one-wire charging is absolutely dependant on the kick-back from the CFLs into the coil then?
Aside from that, i also wondered if you split the high voltage signal from the coil HV out into two lines, if the signal gets weaker in each line like in audio/RF signals?

Yes its all kick-back, I have another video for you i can charge the cap up to 900volts in seconds.You need to let the first setup run for a hour or two before you can get the next setup to work. Inquorate will tell you why that happens im sure.


dont now if the signal rf gets weaker sorry.

Yes, I can explain why. But I'd be repeating myself again tautology intended :-)

It's all in / on dmonarch's 'radiant matter' thread, but I can re-iterate upon request. I can also do a pretty good happy dance, and I whistle dixie for small change..



Prediction: since I think bodkins is using his microwave (resonance) capacitor, the effect (like self charging) will not continue ad finitum, and will have to repeat first step in a few days if cap not used. But then again, I got married once, ten years ago, and it lasted a month; evidence that I've been wrong before :-)

G'nite all, sweet dreams

Do A Video of those dancing feet

not self charging but getting it to charge the cap up really high i need to run the first setup for a hour or two i dont now why!!
