Joulethief SEC exciter and variants

[Slider2732]

I wouldn't mind checking that myself Penno..hopefully Slayer can oblige, or Lidmotor (if he leaves out his nuclear fission capacitor chain reactive Bedini motor section LOL).

Ah, Totoalas, Wi Wi sounds a little strange to English ears, mine anyway...my stuff has the name of Wisp, Wireless Interactive Spatial Power. Wisp enabled devices are the clock, the radio, a TV remote, aircraft and whatever else.
Been building and trialing some aircraft. At first will be simple helicopter/UFO types. All is on a zero budget, so it's challenging. In fact though, this video is something I made not long ago that is sort of what i'm looking to build at first - it was built to emulate those silly wobbling UFO's seen on YouTube videos:
YouTube - ELO - Electric Levitating Object
Then, for livingroom flying, something like this one that was built last summer:

Hi slider, cool videos and electric air stuff. I have an electric glider, been flying them for some time, though i like the idea of the cheaper small stuff.

Speaking of UFO's, in your second video called nano sized, at 43 seconds in video, in sky on left, looks like an odd cloud to me, maybe it's more than a cloud.
peace love light

Hah, that would be quite wild eh. I think it's just a cloud


Ladies and gents,
We have a World First !
Wireless electricity powering an aircraft into the air

Hoppity really is name and nature, simply hopping up and down and admittedly quite rubbish. But this is a start, the start of wireless electric flight.
Details of Hoppity are, 3 turn 30 gauge coil receiver, to 4x Schottky clear diodes as bridge rectifier and a 10uF capacitor to smooth. 6mm motor, helicopter rotor. Weight is 6 grams.

Hey Slide,



Well done.

We all gotta start somewhere


Hows about an antennae "tuned" for your chopper?? (the right length of wire)

Just a thought

WISP Now the world Know it came from you Slider
Check out TROS channel
Maybe if you increase the current flow
It can lift sky high lol
the better background music
I believe I can Fly
This is the starting point
The point to somewhere out there
keep it up man

cheers

Slayer Exciter and radio transmission and reception

Cheers guys, i'm hoping to look back on those little hops in the same way I do with a wireless energy experiment of some months ago. Just had a ferrite bar with some winds on it and an LED would light at about 1/8th inch away. It took about 12V just for that hehe. So Wisp at the moment is just a simple shadow of intentions.
The whole project is called Project Twilight and, if you know ELO 's music, you can guess what the goal flying machine is intended to be for July 10th ! Just check the 'Out Of The Blue' album cover.
Silly story about the music on the vid - Secret Messages was intended to fit with the first radio control signals via wireless electricity, but my wife walked in during that run and said she was off to Walmart. So, rather than hunt around at 1am in the night for something else to cover our chatting, I put the song with it

Jiffycoil has a cool system there. So interesting how he has the wire going to the Stiffler Tower..and the theramin effects with a metal bar makes ones mind whir a bit.

Slayer choke exciter with cfl parts

Hi .I tried the jameco 22uh chokes and did not have much luck but i wil try again when i get a variable cap a good friend is sending me so i had a look for some other inductors to try and found cfl bulbs to be a good source.There are small ones and large square ones which look like a transformer but they are inductors and both work quite well.
Here is a vid of a 3mh choke and the square one.Jonny

YouTube - Slayers choke exciter using cfl parts

@Slider.I bet your feeling a bit like Orville wright just about now .Great first flight and things can only get better
Have you considered an airship?This way you can carry a more substantial reciever circuit and maybe a cap bank or are your plans for heavier than air craft.Great stuff.Jonny.

[slayer007]

@ Jonny
Great idea with the old cfl parts.


@ All
In this test I remover the led indicator light and replaced it with the small choke exciter.
The primary is inplace of the led and the choke is connected to the collector of the transistor.

johnny if im not mistaken the inductors lidmotor is using is a part from electronics goldmine that i looked into, there on sale right now 4 for one dollar but im not sure about their shipping policy overseas though.
1000uH Axial Lead Inductor (Pkg of 4)-The Electronic Goldmine

also does anyone know how lidmotor's solar on off circuit works i am completely lost as to how the transistor is triggered and stays off what that led (or whatever it might be) that dosn't appear to light up does. sorry to be a bother to the people who actually know what their doing.

[slayer007]

This is just a follow up from the last video.
The first 12 hours it was just the 9 leds.Then I added the other 39 leds for the last 12 hours.
After running 24 hours the run battery is still 1.26v from 1.35v.

YouTube - Follow up from last video

[Slider2732]

Ricksl, I had a think about what I thought you meant and do remember a vid with a solar panel, that changed LED colours from Lidmotor's brilliant videos...so, I dragged out my old 12V automotive battery solar panel and hooked it up, straight to the little Wensleydale tower and C3198 based circuit.

She runs ! with good wireless field

YouTube - Solar powered wireless energy


Great circuit there Slayer. It didn't use a bit of juice at all then ?!

Mixing your latest circuit with a quality solar panel, it could give 24/7 wireless energy for as long as the rechargeable battery took to corrode in places like California !!!

Jonny, those transformer looking inductors are very interesting. I must have several of them around here, thinking they were transformers. I guess they are ? but not wound the same. Audio transformer type ? 4 pins instead of 5.
*edit* sorry, I didn't address your question. An airship is a great idea ! I personally have no expectations of the final results, except to have something flying by wireless electricity and that it looks like the UFO on the cover of ELO's Out Of The Blue album. However, i've no helium or whatever so that would be a problem. I like the idea of the cap bank though too (recently ran my Bertha double pop bottle on 12V, with single pop bottle a few inches away, which had half a dozen 300uF 250V caps in parallel feeding from the top end of the smaller ones coil. After 20 seconds of charging, it produced bangs big enough to bring my wife into the room and tell me to not kill myself !)

[slayer007]

Nice video Slider


This is the circuit I used in my last video.

The primary around the inductor is four turns of 26ga magnet wire.

The primary around the tower is a pancake coil nine turns of 21ga. plastic coated wire.

Another post from me, I do hope i'm not taking over anywhere ! but that it's interesting stuff.

After the failure of the BD139, other NPN transistors have been trialed. All are heatsink types, larger physically and power wise than the common little buddies we have used, like the MPSA06 and 2N2222A.
I'd like to construct an easy reference PDF or something for what works with pop bottle exciters and what doesn't.
Here's what I have so far:
The reference is the BD139 - datasheet here: http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/data...cs/mXvrwxu.pdf
Transistors have been Epitaxial, power, MOSFET's..any and every NPN around here. Sources are second hand stuff like PC monitors and radios, so your mileage may vary.
Voltage is 12V, wall adapter rated to 800mA. All working transistors will give wireless effects at 3V. Variable resistor has been important to make some fire, rated at 1Mohm.

Best to worst, but all working:
2SC2625
BD139
TIP31C
C3421
C4793
D1609
TIP122
BD677

Non working
BDX54B
2SK2648
IRF630
IRF740
IRFZ46N
K2161


In use right now and the best so far, is the 2SC2625 (believed to have come from a PC monitor). Datasheet - http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/data...ec/2SC2625.pdf

the h945 found in pc power supplies also works well.
here's my latest effort YouTube - Slayer exciter 50mm tower
50mm tower and i'm only using a transistor. no other component. thanks guys luvyawork
