Stingo Solid State Battery Charger

[Jiffycoil]

I have had some very interesting results experimenting with the Stingo the last two days. For example voltage increase when load is added. Running DC motors. I will film these results and post them this weekend. Thanks all for posting all of your results.

Anyone experience touchy stingo yet?

I have to touch the radiant positive part to lit the neon.
YouTube - Need touch to lit the neon of stingo circuit

3V stingo with PSU toroid. The consumption drop after the neon lit because stingo reduce consumption on load. Dead neon = not a load.

I currently play with this, dash blue line indicating what I imagine how the radiant go. The radiant will prefer going re circle to the power coil it seems than charging the source battery:


Or self charging can work if we add another switch on top of power coil?

Hi, my brothers in arms !...I am playing with stingo again...I tried this
new schematic but it doesnt seem it works better then ordinary stingo...
But playing again with it i noticed that i could get very close to OU by
charging the same (source) battery...I believe that father of stingo,
our dear friend Sucahyo achieved same result or even better than that...
And now, Sucahyo talks about re circling and adding another switch...
Does it mean that we are going to achieve with Stingo OU very soon
in Bob Boyce/Watkykjy manner without hex programing and Bob Boyce
toroid ?...I tried to connect earth ground with battery plus but it is not
of big help...God, help us !

Finished my build.

I wanted this build of the Stingo to have the complete ability to change out components with relative ease. I'm using TIP41A and TIP42A on the build now. I tested the build to make sure it working properly by powering a small pancake coil and at 5 volts 50mA I was getting 68 volts from the out put leads. I will now be able to start detailed testing. Thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions.

This is cool and i got to tell my brother about this im sure his interested..and me too..keep it up dude.

Here is my new video, you can see my "almost OU", and help
with advices how to make that one step more :

Hello my friend. Do you have the output from the Stingo going to the capacitor? From the capacitor how do you have it attached to the battery. I have been having the same problem, what to do with the output? It will charge a capacitor. So we know it real energy, but we now need to take that energy and use it. I'm experimenting with this too my friend and will post what I find. Surely there is a way to charge and dump the stored energy from the cap into the batteries.

I did some experiments with my original stingo sparker and the pancake coil I just built.

With the high voltage output hooked up to the coil primary and the spark gap, and one side of the fluorescent bulb hooked up to the center tap of the bifilar coil, the fluorescent lights. One wire transmission.

The stingo produces the correct shape impulses without the spark gap, too, and in the second part of the video I show the fluorescent lighting without the gap sparking.

@greenliving, thanks .

At load? that is interesting . I look forward for the video .

I tried to connect earth ground with battery plus but it is not of big help

So it do help? and only a little?

Here is my result with today. Touching the radiant positive output increase output voltage.

Wow, no discharging is a great achievement . I didn't experiment with it yet .

I think the best way to use cap to charge the source is by using relay. However, I wonder if it can kill the transistor if we use high output.






I wonder if you still get no discharging with battery as load. if the source do not get discharged, see if the load get charged.

Interesting .
What do you mean correct shape? for what purposes?

[7imix]

Interesting .
What do you mean correct shape? for what purposes?

Impulse currents, high voltage, short duration spikes with as sharp a rise and fall time as possible and only one direction, without a backspike.

For replications of Tesla technologies, since impulse currents are what he used the capacitor/spark gap combination to create.

You mean stingo produce spike without a backspike ?

[7imix]

You mean stingo produce spike without a backspike ?

Yes. It produces a little backspike, but compared to the magnitude of the upspike it's almost nothing.

Except since in the radiant recovery part of the circuit the leads are reversed, what I'm describing actually is the backspike... but from the reversed perspective it looks like an upspike...

Too little help, maybe i did something wrong...Watching your video
i am sure that i did something wrong...But we ll see by the time...

Well, i shot another video with much smaller battery, and three times
bigger capacitor...Several hours passed by and voltage of the battery
is the same : 11,92...Voltage of the output with this big capacitor is
about 200 V...I could put even three times bigger capacitor than this
big one, only i have to spend 12 $ for it...What do you think ?

Connection Alternatives

Attached is a circuit diagram which is very
similar to the "Stingo" arrangement.

By studying the circuit connections it may
be possible to try varying certain component
locations in the circuit layout in order to
achieve optimum performance and stability.

Well, my friend, you can see in this thread and also in the thread "This is it"
what i am trying to achieve, and that is charging the same battery that is
the source too at the same time...capacitor is in parallel with battery and
with parallel with stingo output (greatz)...If i achieve that with stingo that
would be the best stingo use that we can imagine...Am i right or not ?

Sucahyo, please read this post by Gyula and answer me please one thing
that i was going to ask you a lot of time but always something disturb
my mind : Capacitors in your stingo circuits are shunt capacitors ???
Here is whole Gyula post :

Hi,

Of course you may charge up higher value capacitors with your circuit. However you have to check if the input current changes when you start with a higher capacitor. And it would be desirable to filter the the input current via a a series choke coil and some thousand uF shunt capacitor if your setup operates by pulsing. The current meter would go say from directly the battery positive to a choke coil (which is at least some milliHenry coil like the ones used in an audio crossovers, these are air core coils so they cannot saturate) and the series choke's other end would go to the circuit positive supply input and at this common positive point you could connect a big value shunting electrolytic capacitor to the negative battery input of the circuit. This way the pulsed current measurement can be improved to get meaningful DC values.
(If you have no high mH air core coils for the chokes, then you can use laminated transformer cored coils where the core can have some air gap like in an E-I shaped lamination format, to prevent or reduce saturation, otherwise the coil cannot 'choke'.)

So if your setup can charge up a 100uF cap to 200V DC while the input current remains around 600-700mA from the 11.9V, then you probably have a COP > 1. I use the word 'probably' because in that case you would have to double or triple check the input current to verify true input power.
Besides using the filters to clean up the current, if you happen to have an oscilloscope then you may wish to use a 1 Ohm resistor in series with the battery (where the current meter is also placed, between the battery and the choke's one end) and measure the voltage drop (hence the waveform) across the 1 Ohm with the scope, so the current can be estimated that way too. I apologize I did not read all the earlier posts from you so that I do not exactly know what is the circuit schematic you use, only I saw the video and your last posts. So I would like to see some schematic or some more description on your circuit. Will have some more time tomorrow to wade through some of the earlier pages to possibly see your circuit if it was included already.
