High Voltage from Thin Air?

[DrStiffler]

Replicators should try

Okay, something simple that you can do that I hope helps you understand more about how the interface works.

The bulb in my last video that has a completed circuit via my body, if you try to measure current AC or DC, the best I have ever obtained is ~13uA. So that says something does it not? If an equivalent DC voltage of 2.5V@28mA or 2.5 * 2.8E-2 = 70mW then what is the voltage for 13uA. Well 7E-2/1.3E-5 = 5.385E3 or 5,385 volts. Think that could be right?

Now what would happen (I leave this up to you to answer) if one connected to L3 a 10ohm, a 1k ohm, 10k ohm and at last a 20k ohm and completed the circuit by holding the other end as is done with the light. Now to make it easy use a 1/4W carbon. You can (*carefully*) do a lip test, finger should work or get modern and use a temp gun or thermometer. Now why do we see in the resistor (one most of all out of the group) that we do not see from the bulb?

Theory I do not want, I already have the answer, but you need to see and understand this.

@stephenafreter

Thank you.

Do you have a variable power supply and a photo cell or light meter, even a small solar cell would work. Rather than use the eye some method to work with the light.

You need to setup so you can measure light output when you are the conductor, then with a power supply adjust until you get equal output when the bulb is powered by the supply. Now we know the SEC is going to be AC and your power supply will be DC, but that is ok we calculate for equivalence.

Knowing an approx current and overall power will tell part of the story. Knowing the above can you measure temp on the bulb?

Great job and fast, or were you already that step ahead?????

@stephenafreter

Sorry I became confused and mixed you up with 'Wavfront101'. Ignore my questions as they were not directed to you.

Lidmotor,
I spent half day tuning up my gate. And now it's tuned. At 12V I was getting only neon to light. I did increase voltage to 14V and got fluorecsect tube to light.

@mlurye
Great job sir.........

Are you able to post video's?

Thanks for the great work.

By the way, Doc has a new video up

YouTube - Need Some Replicators To Do This

Wife/Work keeping me busy this week, haven't had much free time other than drive by's. I'll try and get on this tonight.

I did just hook up a "cup capacitor" I made for another project a while ago. I was getting a similar effect off of it, could even get the night light to glow off of the unconnected side. Weird thing is it was very difficult to light a FL tube from anywhere on the outside of the cups, inside it powered right up, but once it was lit I could carry it to a radius of about 30cm outside the cups.

DrStiffler,
I don't have much to show in the movie But here is my current setup with gate running.

P.S. When I'm touching the gate I'm not getting any shocks or burns. Gate is just shutting down. I'm moving my hand away and it goes back to normal operation. (Nice safety future )

Here we go Doc...

...in the ancient tradition of using our loved ones as guinea pigs, my girlfriend has been volunteered as a model, while I was tuning the circuit and taking photos.

The "popcorn" is pretty big (blame the local "dollar" store) and puts out significant interference which I can hear over my computer speakers.

The FL will not stay lit unless it's held on one end - in contact with the person, weird.

Aluminium block is from a CPU HSF, flipped upside-down. It's placed on a large double folded anti-static bag, commonly used to wrap motherboards.

Let the pictures tell the rest:

Speaking of "thin air", am I totally wrong assuming this effect will greatly improve somewhere in outer space? In other words, away from large gravitational mass?

@ amigo,
Hello amigo, can I just ask you 1 question about your successful replication ?
- Does the FL light if you replace the hand/body contact with a earth ground connexion ?
Thanks for sharing your work with all,
MDG

edit : I changed heart by earth ...

Replication Ahoy

Had a few minutes to fool around with it when I got home from work. Similar results, my camera doesn't pick up the glow of the night light very well with the lights on.

Used a metal mixing bowl for the bottom half.

The metal mass I had laying around happened to be a wrench laid on top of a plastic baggy.

@all
I found one interesting thing. If you connect L3 instead of ground to the collector of transistor (so that you will get a loop). Gate will function without any problems. If it is not clear let me know and I'll draw a schema....

P.S. Gate and L3 will operate in closed loop.

I little bit of fun with a burnt out tube.

talk about weird, its lighting up around my thumb.

Dr Stiffler's SEC lighting a fluorescent----My replication

@ Everyone---Thanks for the help. I got my circuit to light up an FL today--finally. Doc this thing is really really neat! Kinda weird when that light comes on bright at such a low amp draw.
Here is a brief video.

WOW Congratulations lidmotor.

I knew you would get it going great jod.

I can't get my gate to work right eather.
It will light up the incandescent light very dim.
And the neon will light off the gate but off the wrong side lol.

I still have a long way to go. but I'll get there some day.

Great job Lidmotor!

I had a feeling that L1 was causing some problems when I saw it in your videos, Looked a little too big.

The fun's just beginning cause this little circuit makes your scratch your head and say "hrmm, what the hells going on here"

If you pick up an LC meter you can build coils a little better to suit your needs.~
