Mini Slayer Mopozco SEC
Hi to all,
With 2n3055 (warm) 1 mohm R l2 18 T 18 awg solid inside L1 30 awg 8 1.5 inches
Very bright lamps including an 18 w UV lamp with 10 v 100 ma
With cellfone charger the UV lamp stays the same brightness 50 ma
Will try the Run charge 4 of Slayer
thanks to all of you
totoalas
cheers

In this video I added a capacitor to collect the back emf from the L2 coil.
In my next setup I will add a variable capacitor in place of the bigger capacitor.
As you can see the light ouput is brighter when the capacitor was shorted out.

This is the heat sink I used on the IRF510. Since I do not want to run down my batteries, I have not run for more than one minute at 12 volts (over one amp). At the end of one minute the 1/4 watt resistor is not even warm and the FET is only slightly warm. The heat sink is actually two small heat sinks used together.

If anyone is having problems with transistors getting hot - heatsink and the bigger the better. My heatsink gets very very hot on the IRF830 at 15V, but the transistor still survives for very long runs.

Mosfet Exciters
@ Seth
I liked you new video. Great light show and ion spinner!
I worked with the Mosfets again today and got my IRF730 to work as well as the IRF510. I am using a resistance now on both sides of the gate like Dr. Stiffler showed. On my setup I put 2.2k from the gate to the (-) rail and am using a 10k pot between the gate and the (+) rail for tuning. Different coil arrangement will call for different values probably. Anyway it worked.
@ Xee2
I'm glad that you got the 510 to work also. The 730 seemed to draw less current and now that I know that these work, I will probably order some 830s like Seth is using.
Cheers.

@ Lidmotor
Good find. I tried the IRF510 and it works for me, the specs look good, and it is easy to get (my local Radio Shack had them in stock).
@ Seth
Wow, your coil is working great. I hope I can get mine to work that well.Thanks for the video.

@ Lidmotor. Well done - I hope you get some good reults from the fet. I love it - it seems to work much better than my TIP 32.
@ Xee - nice vid! Im looking forward to seeing more.
my exciter on a 12V battery - pretty much lights up all i have and runs the ion motor. The ion motor is inside a second coil connected to nothing but a vitual ground and some CFLs. In the future ill be trying to get my ion motor magnet spinning so that it will cut the coil with its magnetic field and thereby generate power from the spinning magnet as well as the spinning plasma. I imagine the second coil acts a receiver also for power from the exciter.
This one uses an IRF 830 - my favourite at the moment.

Mosfet Slayer Exciter
@ Slayer & All
I finally got my Slayer Exciter to run on a Mosfet. Oddly I got it to run on a Radio Shack IRF510. It ran on 5 to 12 volts quite nicely at a 1/2 to 1 amp. I did use a 10k pot with a 100 ohm resistor between the gate and the (+) rail to help tune it. I tried an IRF730 but could not get it to oscillate.
This is a terrible video but I wanted to document that indeed ---it does work.

My first exciter video. One AA battery using 2N2219. I have not got the audio figured out yet in Windows movie maker. Best if viewed at 720p.

yep to all
Very good fiesta of new idea from everywhere on this thread
bravo at all and go on the good work
hehe Seth why not a helicopter with plasma jet you are on the good way
good luck at all

I have seen some very creative builders do that with the Joule Thief circuit. Imagination is the only limitation. Woopy's plasma airplane is another example of what could be done.
This ''invention'' just occured to me cos i built a simple 1aa, solder wire, plus screw and neo magnet motor with a kid i teach - i'd seen it done on the net by someone else. This neon ion motor is the same basic design with a neon. The credit should go to that guy really. And to Woopy for showing that ion motors can be done.
Great vid with the joulini - its gonna be one of my future replications. Ive never had an electromagnetic motor on my exciter. Thanks for the info on the wire sizes. And thanks to everyone else for all the info. Great work!

@Jonny
I think that there must be multiple compounding frequencies going on in the Joulini Exciter. Tuning it is hard. There is more than one player in the band but together they make music?
