InventorGadget----You can do both. The SEC 15-3 in this video has a "recovery straight to the battery" feed back loop as well as the little solar panel. They work well together.
I finished building this last night. I believe my 8 dollar 9 led flash light out preforms this, but the one wire, and no wire energy transfer is just amazing. I have started trying to tune this bad boy it pulls from 25 - 50 millamps in my tests. The real comparison is the number of joules in the batteries the large 6V batteries have a good number of them compared to the AAA batteries in most leds.
Mart ---Thanks for the call. Sounds like you are settling in nicely down there. This my first experience with a small 6v SLA and it is working quite well. It's a good "Joule box". lol. A 30 milliamp draw on a SEC is about right but on this feedback circuit you can still get good ligth for 1/3 of that. Tuning is the hard part and without a spectrum analyser to see the peaks it is hit and miss thing. The lights come on at different peaks but just a few are efficient frequencies.
5 Stars! Fantastic! You know I believe that "energy recovery" is as important or more important then simply trying to produce lots of it. I often times leave a couple of batteies hooked up to a large solar panel sitting on my desktop. The CFL above me does charge the batteries. I need the light to conduct business anyway and although I am not getting more out then I am putting in, I am able to recover some of the light that is falling onto my desktop and therefore able to charge a couple of AA
killzpwnzOred----I was just thinking tonight about recovering energy from the light bulbs in my house with solar cells. It wouldn't be much but it all adds up.
I'm glad you were able to get this going so fast.

Excellent work Lidmotor.
Very Nice looking setup.

GBluer---Thanks. I was trying to get this as close to an exact replication as I could.

Thats smart! Direct recovery to the batt is much better than via solarcells.. Nice work!

Nice vid, you have been experimenting on the SEC for a while now, how far does it wirelessly transmit energy and at what efficiency?
ie 80% at what distance etc,,,,
ps Have you got a Lux Meter yet... I think it will help you gauge your circuit vs Power, its helped me loads!
It is an interesting circuit, its it free domain yet as I would like to take a look at it.. ;-)
Paul..
ps 5* and have you measured the N- IONs from the circuit? It really helps you find what is going on..

Paul-- The SEC does not transmit wirelessly very far. I don't have a LUX meter yet. You can find Doc's circuits at Stiffler Scientific
