Joule Ringer!

[altrez]

My goal is to power all the house lights....and then everything else.....on simple low power systems that are fed by earth batteries, solar cells, and anything else that looks promising and will save me cash on my elecy bill. And Im hoping Ill have a good time to boot, as well as understand the world around me just that little bit better.


The base diode KILLS any ringing effect. The microhenry inductor works fine in this position.

Seth,

Thats a good goal! I have made some earth energy receivers and they worked well. I just have not found anything that beats a solar panel with a small inverter and battery.

I can run 15 lights off one and never lose power.

The small amount of output power on the JT type circuits is not much. It can run a ton of LEDs and I love building all the different configurations.

A 2 watt LED bulb pulls right at 0.021 amps or .021 mAs from my inverter at full brightness.

Double post! Sorry!

Video here for Jonnydavro, which may be of interest to all. The 15 LED's are connected via an AV plug to the circuit and to a stake in the ground outside the house.
Whatever I do with the inverter circuit doesn't make a hair of difference to the LED's, they remain on

Kinda criss crossing a couple of present projects and perhaps relating to quantumuppercuts thoughts above..

Hi folks, a quick correction i think.
I noticed on that last flip flop radiant charger circuit i posted, that when input gets higher it reveals the fact that when using separate or center tap configuration to allow for ac in a secondary, then when only using the two primaries as I am with this charger, when the pulse collapses on one coil, the next coil being energized will interfere with the collapsing field of other coil and completely, though intermittently, reduce the spike output.

So if anyone is going to try this circuit, be sure to reverse one of the bifilar coil strands to prevent this cancelling of fields effect.

What exactly do you mean by reversing one strand?

Thanks
Kyle

Hi kyle, I am referring to a bifilar primary, so just like a joule thief, hook up one strand with the opposite polarity of the other strand. Though I think it should work with a true center tap reversed as well, though have not tried that.
I'm speaking about the flip flop circuit for any not following my posts.

Xenon bulb hookup

Hi.I just found out that you can just short the centre xenon leg to one outer xenon leg so no need for a cap.
@Slider.Thanks for that vid.Strange that there is no interference with the leds whatsoever,considering all the switching going on.
The pseccy seems to be a seperate circuit and dosen't seem to care about noise.
I am goin to try your pseccy but i think i will start with the very basic setup you showed earlier and work my way through.
It looks like free energy to me and I hope I can get it going and do some experiments with it.
The type of Led seems important.What is the turn on voltage of the green ones as they seem best?
What is the altitude where you live slider?Thanks.Jonny.

Hooray! Ive got the 1AA working

Ive got great results with this really really simple circuit -

280 ohms reistor
flyback
2 TIP 31C's in a darlington pair.

Lighting multiple CFLs, including the 72W, on 1.5V @ 700 mircoamps!!!!

That is a lot of light from 800 micro-amps.

Your videos with the LED bulbs have inspired me to order a cree LED light bulb. Watch this space!

Nice darlington, you've stumbled onto one of JB's energizer/charger ckt's- SWEET!

Hi Tyson,

That seems to be true with my series FL lamps 4 8 watts fl lamps flashing intermittently as I increased the pot
Will try to reverse the two primary windings and see if it will stop flashing

thanks

Hi folks, Hi patrick, thanks for the reply. The catch (trap) is, codification only applies to the fictitious PERSON they like to claim we all are.

Here is the radiant charger flip flop circuit I've been messing with, it works well so far.

edit: oh patrick, could you maybe apply a regular load to that 7AH and connect meter so it loads it down to similar level, just to know a ballpark amperage, thanks.

yes, when I put an incandescent bulb on it @ 360 mA, take it down to 11.5, it pops back to 11.85ish. this is a different type of draw than the energizer puts on it - as the energizer puts back some of that - I'm curious as to what your line of thought is on this?

[seth]

Perhaps Im being really stupid here, but I have a question:

When I use my digital multimetre, I get a microamp reading, but when I use my analogue metre, the CFL comes on far less bright, and my analogue mA detector goes right off the 10mA scale. So how many mA's are actually being used on my setup? Why would this happen, using an analogue instead of a digital?

Thanks for your help guys!


EDIT - MY BAD!! It works fine on the analogue multimetre, and it confirms the digital multimetre of 600 microamp draw. Phew! Just a wiring mistake!!! All is well... I thought for a moment that my pound shop multimetre might be lying to me!

Tuning

I am so happy to hear that you got it working! Now all you have to do is work on tuning it to make it run longer. I actually think 30 seconds of light from 2200uf cap is really amazing for a first replication and a great success!

Hello All,

LaserSaber thanks for the inspiration and your inovation.It is my intention to replicate your device.I studied your video and noticed you spoke about a second coil and its importance.Could we have a schematic of the second coil? How did you arrive at the value capacitor? I want to know if you used any LCR meter and calculations to properly tune your device.

You had a permanent magnet on top? What was that for.

What are the exact steps you took to tune the device? I am assuming to resonance.

Thanks.

Ged
