Avramenko's plug - Single wire power

[Cherryman]

Hi all, not sure if it is related, but I was watching this vid and he accidentally lid his light-bulb with one wire:

have you tried it?
I suposse you've received the electronic parts.

I tried it with success.
I also tried Tesla's version of single wire electricity transfer. It worked very well, but the voltage at the receiving end was not very stable.

Interesting that you say the voltages weren't stable... How much was it fluctuating? Any idea as to what might have caused this, something external even?

It worked!

I have also found this on the net, a guy built a circuit to send energy through 1 wire and then he uses that single-wire as the primary of the transformer, then the secondary coil is a classic 2-wire configuration. There is NO gain of energy, simply a curious and fun test.

The core is a toroid.

I tried this today, (got sick of waiting for other parts) and it worked! yay!!!!
Tested over a single 76cm (30inch) wire, one way, no return wire.

I put a neon lamp and resistor in series on the secondary of the toroid.
The lamp only came on for about a second though, and then didn't want to
go on much after that, no idea why? After a few more attempts, I noticed
things in the pulsing circuit were acting erratically (I can tell just by putting
my meter on frequency, and leaving the leads near the wire?) - I had to
replace the transistor, and I also put another protection diode over the coil
so hopefully it won't break again.
