Captret - Perpetual Light with Dead Batteries

[Jbignes5]

It seems....

I'm testing it now.

It lights up a LED but it doesn't seem to be the captret effect, because the voltage keeps going down instead of up.

And now i'm taking that back. Checking the voltage before i post it seems it went down to 6.01 volts and now is climbing back up. Good job!

I'm using 104 caps instead of the 103. I'm using a 220uf 50 volt cap and i'm using a 1k ohm resistor and no pot.

It seems to be working like the captret, so far.

Now up to 6.23 volts and climbing. Standing voltage was 8.14.

It seems to take a bit for the signal to permiate the battery. Once the signal is all the way into the battery it revs up getting bigger the longer it goes but I think there is a resonance that gets setup in the battery by the signal that might be limited by the composition of the battery.. Since we know batteries are a combination of capacitance , resistance and a certain amount of inductance it might take a bit to figure out this process by observation only. It might have a limit but only time will tell...

I will test

@Jbig

I don't have the correct value parts ATM but I will try to get it sorted correctly this weekend. I am trying a 470uf 200v as was used in my first captret video, along with 2 small ceramic bead caps (too small markings to read) a 100k pot and a junk ups battery. Starting volts is .48 @ 8:06pm est and is steady for a few minutes now. We shall see. Keep up the good work and testing.

Cheers

LED didn't go dim and once the LED goes up to a certain voltage it starts to go down. My got to 6.62 volts and its going down but the LED is still bright.

I built one of these large capacitors. It's 4" by 18". I am not sure what to say about it. It self charges to half a volt and has around ten mA constant output. I cannot get it to hold a voltage charge like a regular capacitor. I used 50 50 antifreeze for the electrolyte. I built it exactly like a normal electrolytic capacitor so I am not sure what I did wrong. Is there a break in process that you have to do with one of these? Regardless of how it functions as a capacitor it makes a pretty cool low voltage power source as is.

Could you make a how to video?

IB,
thanks for removing the battery and letting it sit... Great news that it didnt drop while sitting..and is in fact continuing to climb

The 2 dead 9 volt batteries that i took off the captret charger where at 17.31 yesterday and now they're up to 17.32 today. So the charging still lives on without being hooked up to the circuit.

I think I have duplicated the effect not using the "Captret" but I need someone else to help me with it to test it out.

It seems for me it even works with one 103 Cap and the Led
directly connected to Plus to keep the Voltage at the Batterie.
My 10k pot is anywhere at 6k ohm adjusted.

+..9V..'-' >pot - ...unpoled Cap
+ Led - ............ unpoled Cap

hi guys. is it posible to charge supercapacitor instead of battery with captret?
also, im liveing near electric pole. im not sure how high voltage is but im sure its more than 15000V. if i connect 1 wire to earth and 1 10x10cm metal plate 2 metre of the ground i get AC voltage. highest is 50 VAC. i was thinking to convert that to DC and drive captret without battery.

what you guys think?

[Jbignes5]

Excellent...

Do not worry about not having the right parts for now. We need to test all different setups. Mine ran all night without loosing a bit of voltage so I think this is a success.

The one thing I am thinking about is that this system has the diode built in via the Electrolytic cap. The two caps on the top are ac capable caps and this is where the magic is. When the Electrolytic fills up it acts like a drum. The caps on the top are the drum sticks. It seems to me that this is an open resonant system that matches whatever load or battery is connected to it. It is capable of multiple resonant frequencies and that corresponds to Tesla's theories as well about being able to setup multiple oscillations from a starting pulse. It takes a bit to gently coax these oscillations to be powerfull enough to, from the reports about Tesla's experiment, to shake down a building just by attaching this system to a part of that buildings conductive structure.

I believe from trying to understand the flow that this system tunes itself depending on what you have connected as the source and load.

We need to start focusing on what is happening in the flow structure of these potentials in this system. Once we fully understand the mechanism behind this system then we can apply it to being capable of moving mountains if we wished.

Can you post the diagram?

I need to see your mods of this to better understand what you are talking about.

I would be careful...

Yes it would make an interesting test but in most cases they can go after you for "Stealing" the product they are selling. It doesn't make sense but they think they own the air as well apparently. Like I said it would make an interesting test but don't plan on making that part of the circuit.

Dear hemancro,

Please protect yourself and your family with some EMF sheilding. There are thousands of reports of families and animals going insane and getting sick from such power lines. Trouble going to sleep, trouble healing from diseases, trouble thinking... Please...

A web site like this one can help you. EMF Safety Superstore- "Electromagnetic Field Detection & Protection". I have 2 of their sheilded caps. I wear them when I go under high tension lines. (Yes a tin foil hat that actually works.) Research "Faraday cage" and either get some of the sheilded fabric or make your own cage. (Then you can take power from it!)

Anyway. I would advise that your "Antenna" look natural. Like a shed or a wind vane or something... Because the power company could sue you for theft which is insane. You should sue them for health problems.

Left one is what i did, right one should be yours.
Btw At your Picture what are this waves where your arrow point to before the pot,
another resistor or the waveform?
Right now i can run a LED and keep the Voltage pretty stable with the pot at ~6-7k
Is'nt a LED actually a thin Wire inside what make the Light at a p-n junction?
I did read somewhere something like this.
But oh well, i did not do a long run test for it now.

Captrets without batteries...

I checked out CosmicGnarler's captret vid. I posted a comment similar to the following I thought you all might want to know:

Great results! Do this experiment for a few days. I did one which showed voltage increasing, decreasing, etc. until it stabilized. Like water sloshing back and forth in a tub. One you can try is connecting captrets together (without a battery) in series (both legs of one cap touching the head of the next cap, and so on). Enough of them will power an LED which drains power. Remove the LED and power goes up. Caps are pos or neg biased. Test them and use one or the other, not both.

You test them by placing a test lead on the head of the cap and the other lead on the legs of the cap (which are twisted together). The voltage is either positive or negative.

I had trouble doing this because I couldn't find an easy way to connect the caps together. When I managed to do so the voltage would increase for every cap I added. I was thinking I could bend the legs of the cap in such a fashion that I could drop them in a tube or straw so the legs are touching the head of the next cap... To really check this out I was going to get a bag of caps from a surplus electronics store and just make a really large array of caps.

On the downside... when I put a load on the array the voltage would drain... but after a while it goes back up again. I know that caps tend to collect residual voltage when they sit for a while... Perhaps this is just a way to harvest that voltage...

Best,
Anonymussle.
