Radiant CFL Oscillator 02 (PWM) - One Wire Sparks

[painterman18]

hey man i love the video, do you think you could post a vid or link with the circuit schematic? thanks again for all your work.

[powermaks]

what u need is to connect - from ignition coil to ground & geranium diode (correct polarity) then free end of diode and + side to capacitor to charge up then discharge into LED... it is more efficient.

[zebok3]

I wonder if the ignition coil would spin a magnet on at 10khz?

[BodkinsEnergy]

I think we didnt get it,,,, single wire power!!!!!

two singlewire power units with the bulbs across the transmission cable.if tuned correctly this should work ye?

What you think ??

take care Bodkins

[dodoshlodo]

yeh there only really one guy that got the whole 1 wire thing - tesla... we could have saved half our money on wiring if we had of listened to him!

do u mean bombard a bulb at each end with 2 single wire units?? i think it would need to be tuned. just using a capacitance or aerial on the open end works fine..

[dodoshlodo]

but with these circuits I cant tell which way things are flowing....

On my Joule Thief Fluro light I used a bridge rectifyer running into the Fluoro and did the one wire thing.

It lights when the negative side is connected and the other side is free, not the other way around.

So it seems the energy is coming OUT of the negative side not the other way around like we think of conventionally

Negative energy?

@dodoshlodo i always wondered the same thing, "It lights when the negative side is connected and the other side is free, not the other way around." is what i found out messing with a little pulse motor and mini cfl. but i think its just the way the batteries are made. i dont know lol

Hi Dodo,

Great work man!

Be careful not to discharge your 12 volt 7 amp hr battery below apx 10 volts.

I fried one because I wasnt paying attention, it dropped to 6vdc.

Now it wont go above 9 volts...bedini or traditional charge.

Great idea with the PWM!

Keep up the good work.

Eddie

This is near-field energy, not radiant. The greatest amont of power is contained in the near-field. If you were to turn on an AM radio receiver you would hear the PWM signal quite clearly from across the room...far-field.

Is the input amperage the lowest,

when you draw the spark with the croco clamp to ground ?

Or when is the input power the lowest ?

Many thanks.

[dodoshlodo]

the spark gap draws more current but if u tune it right u can get it close to 500mA on this setup. the spark makes the brightness of the neon better too.

[overunitydotcom]

Great video !

What is the music piece called ?

At what frequency do you run the PWM

circuit ?

Please show another video,

where you measure input power into your

circuit while showing many CFLs being lit.

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

[dodoshlodo]

In the video i said it runs at 10kHz but I checked the specs and its supposed to run at 2kHz.

However to the coil seems to find resonanc e and the frequecy in the coil changes. Even just touching a CFL changes the frequency.

I'll post a video soon that shows scope shots and amp draw

Stefan,

I've posted the name of the music in a response to lidmotor

[nat1971aa]

great video...keep up the good work. You say you want more range. Take the voltage up and use coaxil cable. You are losing radiant energy by not using coaxil cable.

[dodoshlodo]

cheers, the coaxil cable really works

[Lidmotor]

Excellent video!! I liked the background music. This one video sums up alot things. I hope that many people see it and want to get into this research. Tesla must be smiling.

[dodoshlodo]

cheers Lid.

The music is by an artist called Abakus - there are two tracks on this video, but i suspect u liked the second one, its called "That much Closer"

the ignition coil is a ferrite core transformer,and at that freq the ferrite doesnt have time to relax fully.

you will get bigger sparks at lower freq-which will peak your coil better,giving you more voltage,or you could take out the ferrite and run it air core like a true tesla coil,and stay at the high freq.

bigger smoother domes,height of antenna,matching inductance of TX and RX coils,capacity on primary side of coils,adjustable spark gap,all these things help improve efficiency.

good work

[armakuni2000]

Yes... m3sca1 you say right.... we can't use a ferrite core for the Tesla technology and this is the same reason because the put an iron core inside a motor is not good at all

[dodoshlodo]

thanks M3sca1, im testing different domes and antenna setups.

i think its time i ditched the ignition coil for a proper Tesla Coil!

-shlodo

[crob227]

use a elevated capacity like a antenna, out of the top....

great job check out what i have done

i light a LEd 10ft away copletely wireless

with just 36 watts on the transmitter... and my reciever is another antenna and another ground

[Careica]

Realy nice! Keep it up! :D

[boxa888]

yes i always though that was awesome, a spark was being generated without a return wire just down one wire. its pretty intresting the tesla one wire transmission.
