Joule Ringer!

[Slider2732]

@Jonny - good tests there, enjoyed that. It also showed me that I had been using too great a capacitor value all day !


Have uploaded a vid of progress and demo's: Battery Inverter - 1979 transformer + demo's - YouTube

And, did you guys know about this with these circuits ?



Could well be some coil experiments to be done.

Using collector back emf plus otput one wire can easily light up a 20 w fl lamp or non modified cfl
20 w fl 1/4 brightness
10 w 1/2 brightness
8 w cfl dim not modified

Thanks for the tests Jonny! I will check out those findings with the base diode later today - sounds great (and easy)

Ive made current measurements for my flyback ringer, and its giving me the best results Ive ever had.

CFL fairly well lit on 5V and 4mA of current. 0.02W

4mA CFL - flyback ringer current draw - YouTube

The CFL stays lit on as little as 0.2mA - thats 0.001W of power! Its certainly given me ska fever.

Slider:
Are you able to get the PSEC to work yet using only the outside ground connection?

THATS GOOD NEWS SETH way to go

Test of jonnydavro capacitor xenon mod. Adding capacitor drops xenon turn on voltage from 2 KV to 1 KV.

I am not sure if this is good or not. It does reduce current, but it also reduces brightness.

[seth]

OK - Ive done some current readings for when the cap discharges.

The CFL stays lit (barely flashing) all the way down to less than 1 microamp

Im going to gut some of the small spiral lamps that laser uses, and I'll try and get my hands on some LED bulbs.

The CFL stays lit (barely flashing) all the way down to less than 1 microamp

That is very low current for lighting CFL.

you people are funny with how you name all "your" mods.

well here is the Patrick mod that takes all of your mods and puts them all together for one big charging mod. where my primary 7Ah charges 500

Hi Minoly
We just give credit to those who deserve it lol

So finally, yours is a true winner

Well Patrick, your mom and dad named their mod didn't they
I'll watch your 46min vid shortly, could watch such vids all day as there's so much to learn

@Seth, you'll be ska'd for life, now that you know how little energy a CFL can begin running with ! I refound a couple of flybacks and am going to definitely copy/emulate/replicate now

@Nick. Yeah, but not half as well as with the switched off adapter lead also connected. Body capacitance brings the circuit up some, yet aluminium blocks and clip leads and coils etc are certainly a route from here. I'm new to tuning in such ways....but the odd time, for brief moments, the circuit gives those hints on which way to go. Sure you've done the same, the times that work for brief moments and then it takes weeks to replicate !
That's where Dr. Stiffler's equipment probably comes into all this. Like using a metal detector to find a needle in a haystack.
Joule ringing would definitely compliment the setup and is part of my own interest in this thread and the work going on. And it's fun too With normally finely soldering on little boards, this is like using a shovel to eat dinner.

@xee2 - I think we'll find that the inductor is working more like a capacitor in that spot. Smoothing the transients and backing up the output. With our trannies outputting a square wave and mains being sinusoidal, the difference is being seen by the smoothing effect of the inductor. Just a thought, i'm no electrician.

I would be really interested if someone could try my setup with one of those cheap Goldmine flybacks - If it works with those, would be really easy to replicate, study and enhance. I tried with my other flyback today which is also old junk, but it drew 40mA

When I added the cap and diode to the base, it increased mA draw to 40.

I still cant get mine working on 1AA (without the charger). Any suggestions?

good one
they also put in quite a few years $$ etc. to enjoy that little luxury didn't they...


Hi totoalas,
I don't mean anything by it. and... its not really mine, it's Tesla and others around and before.
I don't mean to belittle anyone's work. I have learned more from JB and others because of their willingness to share. I wish more great minds would have the same attitude.

I don't think I see anything original on any of the vids I watch nor see here on this forum, save a couple of great minds that do share here. a diode here a cap there. the fathers of this stuff did it all before us, we're just trying to figure out what they did with some new tech - since they all took it to their graves.

I don't think you are, but to all - please do not be offended. that is the last thing I want. I think by giving these things our own names, we take away from those before us. If on Thursday I would have added a nicely pureed Korean pair to my great grandmothers special 30 ingredient apple pie recipe and then called it Patrick's apple pie, she might not take it too kindly.

I think it's wonderful that we are all here sharing what we learn about how to make/reproduce the work of great minds before us.

Patrick
