Can you share the schematic for your timing circuit? Components and simple wiring diagram would be helpful. Need this to construct a science project with my son. You seem hesitant to share any knowledge, but any help would be greatly appreciated. References to GBluer are not as helpful as any specific data you could share would be I read all your comments). Thank you very much for helping out a future scientist!
Have you tried charging a cell phone with this? I am very curious if putting a cell phone near enough would cause it to charge without the corded adapter.
The lights get dimmer the more you put around it..... until you ground it and put an insulated plate on top.... i used wax paper and foil and contact glue to insulate a make shift plate last night... stapled it to the ceiling and hooked it up to the top of the coil... i connected the outside ground to the negative side of the circuit.... i was able to keep placing lights near it and the brightness did not change... just thought id mention it...didnt know if you tried that yet...
very nice and clean work....i hear in the video that the result is a cause of an electrostatic phenomenon but in fact it isn´t....I prefer to call it ¨electrodynamic¨ phenomenon cause of the current throws into the bulb and the other stuff you used,so we don´t have to do with static electrons....¨Electrodynamic¨ can explain this result....If anyone want to go it further more,just search for ¨Poynting theorem(vector)......
@TheKaundere no such thing as free energy hmmmm,are u forgetting about the sun.wind,water,electric in the ionosphere that nokla tesla proved u could take energy from oh and dont for get the best of all lightning
im still new to all of this. is the transistor working as sort of a mini spark gap? if so then does that mean the transistor is being fully saturated to act in switching mode, or is it amplifying the current and doing PWM?
Please, can any tell me if the transistor can replace with this VMT BU2520AX or PHL BU2520AF, please i need know this for an work of cience of school, many thanks
man this is awesome i am dying to have one were can i get them i live in Australia where everything is illegal . do you sale any ? and if so how much ????
so, basically, the adittional LED s light up as soon as you put them near the coil???? thats awesome !!! wireless electricity !!! one more reason why TESLA should be declared a saint...
think of the coil transmitting a certain number of volts into the air. the less amount of lights, the more volts one light can pull. the more lights, the less each pulls. not really stealing energy, but redistributing it. i love this, its a perfect example of why we should have tesla coils to power our homes
You can give it a better output by increasing the number of turns on the primary to be the half height of the secoundary.. Good job, Dr.T would be proud..Doctronics
@MrGunnaras just because the coil lights up 120V bulbs doesn't mean that the coil produces that little voltage. Yes I know the voltage breakdown (or a dialectric strengh) of air to be 20V V/mil or about 20KV per in. Tesla coils can put out a lot more than 1000V at a high freq.
@powermaks no he cant . it takes a million volt to create a 1 meter long spark, so 100.000V would make 10cm long spark 10.000V = 1 cm. 1000V=1mm so his 110 volts coil would make 0.1mm spark :p
I read through the 9 page tread over at overunity and none of the circuits looked anywhere as simple as this one. I just finished a 16 inch coil today, and would really appreciate if you could help me out with this circuit.
@randomsrvapps ---Actually in this case it is a capacitive link and NOT inductive. When I first started working with this stuff I thought that it was induction also. Dr. Stiffler did an experiment awhile ago (that I replicated) showing how the capacitive link works and how it is different than the inductive.
@Lidmotor a few things can happen with these coils, high frequencies, "longitudinal waves from the capacitive top load" which is what Nikola Tesla said and other factors what I find interesting with yours is the field range it's the same as my 22kv 100ma resonant coil with a massive no coronal leakage top load. You should build another coil with the same resonant frequency as you first one things could get interesting.
Great video! Any benchmarks against running led lights from the same amount of juice, minus the coil (hardwired)? I love the idea, and the tesla coil really brings me back to high school, just want to know if this would be practical for everyday use, energy-wise. If its only a bit of loss, I'll do my part to replenish the ozone layer!
@harrisgc1 ----This will run just LEDs just fine but the fact that it will excite an FL tube remotely I find more useful. I am using this light on my boat and around the house now. I run it on a 5 volt/ four AA rechargeable battery pack.
@Lidmotor It excites the leds remotely also, right? I was just wondering the power difference between powering the leds (or cfl for that matter) by coil induction vs wire. Could I still have, say the efficiency of an incandescent lamp, by using a remotely inducted led? In that situation it would be well worth it.
@harrisgc1 ----- I have not done any good testing because I don't have a light meter. This is really about lumens of light vs watt of energy used. I have not made up my mind on this method of lighting (is it better or not). It is just very interesting and it is fun to look at doing it's thing.
@1TEKTRON1 ----I havn't tried that yet but I figure that it will only go a couple hours. I did do run testing on a 4 AA rechargable battery pack and ran it twice for a 12 hours period. After each run I could recharge the batterypack in under 15 minutes on a quick charger. This thing draws 175mA so it is pretty easy to calculate how long it will run base on the battery rating that you use. It is not very efficient. Just fun.
@m3sca1 -----If you start scaling this up then you start interfering with things. This broadcasts pretty strongly. The neighbors might not like it. The FCC might not like it. Grandpa's pace maker would't like it either.
@Lidmotor yes i know-my coil makes all sorts of noise in the RF spectrum-and certainly isnt legal when considering FCC rules,but after watching one of dr stifflers vids where he adds more diodes to the system and makes the claim that it makes more gas at the same energy density-then it follows that the a larger diode would work as well.also i wonder if the diode needs to be in the water at all...as for the noise-could always shield the whole setup.
and im sure you would agree that stifflers diode electrolysis is a very novel and interesting process but at that volume of gas its next to useless-its needs scaling up.
@m3sca1 ------I am wondering if this could be placed in some kind of Faraday cage and solve the problem. Build it sorta like a microwave oven. Turn it on and out would come burnable gas instead of a baked potato???? Like you said BIG diodes and lots of them? Just a thought. I'm sure that Dr. Stiffler and his team are way ahead of us on this one. Lets hope that the label will say made is USA instead of China.
Beautiful, as usual! This is the first time I've seen diminishing + output in SECs, let alone plateauing. Might this mean that the SEC electrolyisis might also be in some way limited in capacity, perhaps dozens or hundreds in stead of thousands of equally performing diodes?
Having seen the plateau effect, at least in your very specific setup, I wonder if the OU claim that I seem to remember from Dr. Stoffler is being undermined, or that you'll just need to tune better to get it ALL to run full?
@Cloxxki --- Dr. Stiffler's SEC units work when they are precisely tuned to a certain frequency. This device is different and the results really can't be compared.
Don Smith seemed to think that you might be able to have groups of wireless devices that surround the primary that receive 'copies' of the energy field and do not add more load to the source - but the source tower in this case would not be used to power the 'Light of America' in the Don Smith concept. Just curious to see if you could light 3 or 4 CFL wirelessly and not light the LED bulb. - If you have time ... :-)
@tomcon1001 ---I have done that already. My experience is that the more lights that you add, the dimmer they all get. At some number you get the most lumens of light out of it. Beyond that and you are not gaining anything.
@kubikop ----Actually this is not a super high voltage device like a true Tesla Coil and you don't have nearly enough to jump a spark gap at the primary. There is no primary stepup transformer. There is just that simple oscillator circuit right at the tower coil. It is odd that there is that "electrostatic" effect at such low voltage. This runs in the mega hertz range. Lots of questions about what is going on here.
Nice job lidmotor. Very compact and neatly done. As for the dimming when bring the LOA bulb near, it might not be that there's not enough energy present, it could just be the coil detuning. I think there are ways around this though.
@Wavefront101 ----I think that you are right about it detuning the coil. A look at this with the scope should help. I do think that there is a finite amount of energy present and the lights suck it up like sponges.
@mrBr00k5 ---- Thanks. This might end up in Walmart. Who knows. They now sell a one AA led flashlight that probably uses a Joule Thief circuit. Technology marches on.
@GBluer ---Thanks. It is always nice to turn one of these projects into something useable. The "Halo Light" (pulsed inverted joule thief) that we worked on is perhaps my most used project. I rely on it now when I am at sea.
beautiful work! Looks just fine. What wire gauge & no. of turns on the primary and secondary of your Menehune Tesla coil there? Maybe with frequency tuning there are other resonance points. Fascinating things going on there.
@jackscholze -----"The Menehune Light" maybe that is what I'll call this. When I use this on the boat maybe it will remind me of those days long ago in Hawaii when I read by the light of a kerosene lantern. I spent one winter tied off to the breakwater at the Ali Wai. There was no electricity and all we had was two kerosene lanterns. Oh to be that young again.
How much power does it use and more importantly, does it change much if you add more lights ? I've tried running a CFL light on one AA using Chilliqueen's circuit (which btw is the same circuit used in a disposable camera but with a smaller cap) but the battery got warm and didn't last very long, though it's still fun to see it light it up with just one battery.
@phobosapiens -----This particular example of the Slayer Exciter circuit will run best at 5v to 9v and draws about 175mA. I have also built the Chilliqueen circuit and this circuit is different. Go to GBluer (Slayer) here at Youtube and he shows the circuit that I am using. My experience with the lights is that the more that you add ---the dimmer they all get. It is a finite amount of energy in the air.
@honse246 ----Go GBluer here at Youtube. This is his design and he shows how to build one. The is NOT a ture Tesla coil circuit. Google SSTC (solid state Tesla coil) or SGTC (spark gap Tesla coil) to find out how to build one of those.
Your CFL has a transformer in it so that might case eddy currents in the coil. For the boat since you have a good working coil you might want to consider using a single wire off the tower and run it in on the ceiling and run multiple loads off the wire resonance so that you can light up the boat but use super bright leds in fixtures. String them like regular light fixtures in a dasie chain. I think it would make great deck hung lighting for those really dark nights at sea. Great video.
@egn83b ------That is a good idea. On one sailing trip I took along a Dr. Stiffler SEC 15 and I did energized the life lines on the boat. That was fun.
its a huge EM field. Good luck trying to have children after being around that for a while.

@honse246 ----Go GBluer here at Youtube. This is his design and he shows how to build one. The is NOT a ture Tesla coil circuit. Google SSTC (solid state Tesla coil) or SGTC (spark gap Tesla coil) to find out how to build one of those.

Your CFL has a transformer in it so that might case eddy currents in the coil. For the boat since you have a good working coil you might want to consider using a single wire off the tower and run it in on the ceiling and run multiple loads off the wire resonance so that you can light up the boat but use super bright leds in fixtures. String them like regular light fixtures in a dasie chain. I think it would make great deck hung lighting for those really dark nights at sea. Great video.

@egn83b ------That is a good idea. On one sailing trip I took along a Dr. Stiffler SEC 15 and I did energized the life lines on the boat. That was fun.
