Joulethief SEC exciter and variants

[Slider2732]

Doin' it myself right now !


I've moved my solar setup inside, now that the Monaco GP sitdown racer is gone from the 'Gameroom'. It opened up the South facing window and tests showed the 3x panels, which came from Kyle, output just about the same as they did in the backyard. Also means I don't need to run about covering things over if rain seems imminent.
I run a diode from the panels, into the car battery and out for usage over a thick power cord.
Next is the exciter, which will be the big version that's similar to the one Seth was running on 30V. 1 wire output to my 13W table lamp, standard output battery voltage out to other circuits.
These circuits are hugely practical and i'm aiming at converting all of our house lights to 1 wire.

I worked today on several of my used motion light circuits and solar panels that were given to me, to see what could be fixed or salvaged. And found that most of them worked, but the leds in the 5 led pcb in their lamp fixtures would not work, even though they all tested ok individually. Strange.
I got 4 working solar panels, plus one that is not working, yet. In full sun they each produce 12v, and even in the shade, but with much less current output.
I have placed a wire to connect the panels outside to the Exciter circuits, inside of my house. I also have a ground connection to a copper grounding rod buried in my yard outside, close by.
I did try the solar Exciter, on just a single solar panel, and it does work, even without a battery. But, as I need the cfls lights to work at night also, I'll have to make or get some kind of battery to use. I'll probably just use some rechargeable AAs for now and make a bundle of them at 12v, and later use my old car battery instead.
At least now I know how to be able to use most any voltage with the Exciters. Being able to control the amp input is a good thing also, as it's not the voltage, but the amps that are most important.

Slider, good to see you are back in action on the Exciters.
Good luck at all, like Woppy says.

Thats good news from you and Nickz

So lots of ideas to ponder
Youre set up for a jumbo Slayer with one wire along your house
I remember you having summarized the transistor out put maybe your best performer with less amps can start somewhere
I already run my broadband cable around the house for the joule ringer
but my neighbors still want the cfl for cost saving so i will opt for a NILS circuit for each lamp and see where it goes

Luck is in our side

I connected 4 solar panels together today, all in parallel (picture below), the 5th one I could not get to work. But, with just the 4 panels the voltage was 11.5 volt, and although the current is unknown, but seams as high as some of the wall adapters that I've been using.
I'm also trying out some led bulbs, the one in the picture has a 13 leds, and is super bright, when running off of the panels. It's an emergency backup light that has a small lead acid battery inside. I hope that I don't burn it out charging it on 11.5 volts. The little battery that it has was not charging, so I refilled it with water, as it had dried out, and charged it from the panels for about an hour, and is now working fine.
The exciter works on the solar panels as well as it normally does on the ac adapters, so the next thing is to connect some batteries to the panels, and take the Exciter for a solar test drive.
Here's a couple of pics... I'll upload some more of the Exciter working on solar panels soon. I know that it's not much to show, but it's all free, no costs.

A side note about the plasma stream, that I've observed. It doesn't seem to behave like a spark, or flame, although it has indeed burning abilities of the both ones.

But that happens only, if there is enough air available around the plasma stream.

Once I made an airtight 'spark gap' using the glass tube from burned fuse.

One end from the tower coil's pig tail, and the other from exciter's negative rail.
At first, the plasma stream sizzled, like it does on open air, but then it just faded away.

Exactly same happened, when I used a miniature spark plug as a gap.
I prepared piece of metal pipe, one end being open, while the other end had the spark plug threaded in place. Sizzling, as usual, but when I released some butane from the lighter to the pipe, plasma stream faded away.

Plasma stream suffocated perhaps? Butane should be rather easily fired, but no ignition at all.

Conclusion: To keep the plasma stream going, air is needed.
Not sure, what part of the air the plasma likes the most.

If it is oxygen, result is mostly explosive of a kind, I assume.

Ionized oxygen makes yellow and ionized nitrogen makes blue. If the color is gone they have probably combined with something to make a more stable molecule.

My 1 wire transmission setup is sitting quite similarly to the pic above....
Because of quite an exciting exciter development from Italy.

The background is, that I heard on Coast to Coast AM a couple of weeks back about Thomas Edisons TDC (Trans Dimensional Communicator), a device received in schematic drawing form by the Scole Group of paranormal researchers. Well, I was intrigued. It turns out that the imagery appeared on a sealed can of unexposed photographic film, sat in a box with scientists present and signed 'TAE' !
So I built that and posted about it on ITC Bridge forum.
A guy emailed me about that device and after further emails said he had a circuit that he hoped i'd build. Being as he is a newbie with little experience in circuits I was glad to help.

The back story to that circuit is very strange indeed.
Apparently, Ciro from Italy had a dream and in that dream his deceased grandfather demonstrated a circuit. A circuit which would enable them to communicate with each other. The key to understanding this thing, was what he wrote about part of the demo his grandfather gave - that it would light a fluorescent tube right from the prongs on the front....aha! an exciter circuit !
The schematic is olde worlde, with its depiction of a transistor and split rail capacitors, perhaps from when higher values were less common and so were paralleled.

In the last few days i've built 3 versions of it, each becoming closer to the design dreamed by Ciro. The name is the CAT Exciter (Ciro's Acoustic Transformer).
All looks to be basically a Slayer Exciter, yet these have peculiar features. The prongs do indeed send the output from the coil, the circuit emits quite the strong Shortwave radio type of noise (rather than that gruff noisy interference heard on recordings of most exciter circuits) and while the variable capacitor seems out of place in its connections, it can dramatically change radio reception.
I'd never wound a tiny 1" ferrite piece before and that was called for, for the device to be hand held and portable. As it turns out, the ferrite and prongs work great.

Today, the 3rd version was taken to a cemetery, in the hope but not expectation of recording something funky weird. And....it appears that has been the case !

Here are the 3 version videos:
First build and appreciatively replicated so far by Lidmotor, Iluzyon1 and Backupcpu - CAT Exciter - The Italian job - YouTube
Second build, the acid box emulating Bellisimo: CAT Exciter Version 2.0 - codename Bellisimo - YouTube
Third build, boxed and taken to the cemetery: CAT Exciter 3 - Fantasma, with a spooky voice ! - YouTube

A.C Quadfilar JT.

2 bifilar JT coils twisted into a spiral air core torus will output inverted A.C current from the secondary coil at twice the voltage of the pulsed D.C input to the primary. Two skiens of Radio Shack 2 wire speaker wire works well for this kind of A.C. JT Quadfilar.

This is off topic, so I'm initiating a new thread here at Energetic Forum to explore my new discovery.

Ionized oxygen makes yellow and ionized nitrogen makes blue. If the color is gone they have probably combined with something to make a more stable molecule.

Xee, thanks for the clarifying explanation. At a low voltage(some 5V/200 mA), the exciter's tower coil produces blue plasma stream on its pig tail.

So, it's Nitrogen, that gets the plasma to work, yes? I didn't even remember, that over 70% of the air consist that very N.

I had to take a look of the wikipedia: Nitrogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One thing, that puzzles me, is the usage of Nitrogen as an extinguisher agent, which the plasma uses to burn?

Anyways, I think, that that whole plasma thing isn't actually related to the renewable energy at all. Just a side effect, at it's most.

Slider, are you familiar with Theremin?

Your Acid box-vid has some similar sounds. As both use radio-frequencies.
Not to question, just curious.

As I'm always looking for ways to economize as on the Exciter circuits, as well as making them more efficient, I thought this video by BrokenMan is a good example of a 1volt Exciter brightly lighting different bulbs.

Slider: Any more news from the beyond?
Great circuit, thanks for sharing. You've done a great job on this, and the others as well.
Maybe there is more to come from that source, it's all very interesting...
Don't be shy, he may be waiting for someone to talk to. You!
Give him our thanks, also. Tell him that we are listening, watching and waiting, for the next steps, so bring it on...

@sorveltaja - it does remind me of a theremin
This thing has a couple of odd tricks it can do...beside possibly communicate with the other side. If the tuning is just right on the radio and the variable capacitor, then it can be played like a keyboard.. With the circuit on the right and using the table edge, the device becomes a monophonic single oscillator synth, of sorts. Some amazing bass sounds can come from the radio speaker.
Also, you can scratch with it, like vinyl records. Waving the hand across the prongs in the same way as scratching, will give the same sort of effects, rewinds and more.

@Nick - My wife recorded 25 minutes worth on a digital voice recorder and, when she istened back to it, she marked 4 or 5 places where something may be within. I have to upload it to the PC and analyse it yet.
Being as this is fully portable it will be taken out and about for further tests


After making a system portabe, I wondered how small could an exciter actually be built?
I'd seen Slayer's great video titled 'worlds smallest exciter' and wondered about the actual physical footprint of a Slayer exciter.
The idea was to use a hand wound coil, normal enough components and yet make it all fit down to about the size of a USA penny.
Well, i'm delighted to say that the one in the video and pic below is the result

Hi Slider

Congratulations for your great work! Does your Fantasma setup work with skalar waves or is it hertzian waves?

[Slider2732]

Thanks guys.
I'm hoping to work more with tiny exciters and pull them up to larger tower performance.
The previous work of Jonnydavro, GBluer and Lidmotor is what i'm looking at as a refresher...before the CAT exciter i'd never tried to make such 'towers'. Ultimately, axial inductors may be more practical, but for me, the joy of seeing something hand wound actually work can't be beaten

@Prio - Ciro in Italy has had some great thoughts of ways that the whole thing can be further refined. He's thinking of pulsing the circuit, rather than it being a continuous output stream.
Looking at the original schematic, that his grandfather sent through, I realised that the capacitors may be much larger than I thought. In such a way, they woud take longer to charge and fire the circuit (if a Zener diode was also used). The circuit would then pulse, at a frequency which could be tuned. 7.8 times a second ? no idea yet, but very interesting.
Whether scalar or Hertzian...I don't actually know but should. I would think all is Hertzian at the moment, radio type field propagation and being as the field has a decaying limit with solid state exciters.
However, changing the Primary to a caduceus coil may spin that whole thing around.
Anyone tried a caduceus Primary ?
