hi man, i was wondering about winding my own transformer for this?...ive made a joule thief toroid, just 4 wires, join 2 to battery other 2 go to resistor, etc etc...but on the transformers on the camera circuit they have 5 wires coming off???...any clue as to how this is made?...winding wise...cheers man, i pulled my camera circuit bits off the board so i could breadboard em, but now its not having it...need to nip in boots and get another.. :)... but i'd really like to wind my own..
@100roberthenry To be honest you would be best sticking to the fuji circuit. I don't find winding your own transformer very pratical for this sort of project. You really need to know what you are doing with windings and It can be very difficult to explain. Try grab another camera I think the cheapest place I have seen them is Asda. If you go to the camera counter in asda they will give you the used cameras for free if you explain it for a hobby project. I got hundreds off them a while back.
@Armookie cheers, yeah i guess i'll nip into boots again then :)... ive since found out how to make the coil, i'll give it a go when i see my mate who has thicker gauge wire than me....i'll let ya know how i get on...oh btw, i nipped in pundland, and they had 11 watts and 9watt and even 5 watt bulbs....i'm trying those soon.. cheers man! rob.
That massive heat loss can also be used to heat salt in a container, which can be used later on, to boil water and turn a turbine. This is already done in Spain. They use parabolic mirrors to heat up molten salt for the day, while still producing electricity, and the salt can stay provide sufficient electricity over 7 hours after sunset.
I am flexible, but I really don't like the title of this video. Show a solar panel and write free energy while it's charging your battery sure. It took energy to make that battery and solar panels, but surely you'll get more energy back eventually from them. I sub to people were I generally like what they are promoting.
It's not "free" energy. I'm sure you're aware of it but there's a cost to making and charging that battery, then there's the environmental cost of disposal, etc. Now I would be impressed if oyu could power CFLs with piezoelectric energy generated by walking around your house. That would impress me.
@theskepticalheretic Yes true it's not free energy as such. But that depends on how you look at it. I use rechargable batterys that I charge through solar energy. I then use those batterys to power these lights. It's free energy to me, because if I get my battery charged free by solar energy that would otherwise be not used or just wasted. then its free to me. I really would not bother with solar if it was not for these lights.
@Armookie may I ask exactly what the component hooked up to the battery is? I understand it is a camera component. Is it the voltage regulator for the flash?
@theskepticalheretic Yes it's the transformer to get the high Volts needed to run the bulbs.
Also the circuit is the part from the fuji disposable camera. With little modding you can run a cfl lightbulb for hours of one AA battery. It really works well and I use them all the time.
@theskepticalheretic Regarding piezoelectric energy generated by walking around your house. Well funny enough I have been dabbling with that also. I make my own piezo chrystals but they are a little too brittle. So I am looking for other sources for piezo crystals.
@Armookie that's the issue I've run into. Typically good ones are expensive in large arrays. The other issue I've run into is that most storage mediums are not acceptable to deal with the highly period charge of piezoelectrics.
@theskepticalheretic Have you heard of heart powered nano batteries Skep? You may be excited by them, I certainly am. I'm not sure when they are coming into production but I think it's 3 years that I last heard.
@monkeytail2002 Sure have. BLOOD POWER? Piezoelectric Nanowires Could Turn Your Body Into a Battery
They are basically the same but use the blood without risk to the heart. I think it's a long way off before the public get chance to use it. Maybe in 10 years or so it will be available technology.
@Armookie We'll get a lot more off concentrated Solar Steam and Concentrated Stirling Solar than the human body will ever provide. I much rather those two ideas above 99% of what I see on youtube. Wind is also a good form of free energy but mostly for coastal areas. Another idea which can work will with large CNG/LNG power plants massive heat loss are Stirling engines. Tegs can be used as well and have peak output of around 3v each. Some have claimed up to 7v with a high TD.
Incredible how we can light a light bulb by connecting it to a Single AA Battery yet we can't even use 2 AA Batteries to keep a remote going for a Single Week. Hmmm.
Even better way of getting free light is to use a dynamo torch, no batteries, no mess, no parts to buy etc........wind it up or squeeze the trigger and your away, its even easy to transport and carry around!!!!!
@10pinbowling Yes but this runs on old worn down batterys out of remotes or other devices. So it actually squeezes the last bit of power out of the batterys. In effect it runs on flat unusable batterys that would otherwise bee thrown away. :O)
@jeancruz01 Hi If you look in the video description you will find photos explaining how it is done. Also you can see what board this camera has. If you have a instant camera by say kodak or other maker then I may still be able to help.
nice, mcgyver would be proud of this man! never know when it might come in handy.

That is not free energy. Eventually the battery will die and you will either have to buy one or recharge it.

I wonder how long the battery would last.
Lukeidea 1 year ago
@Lukeidea A fully recharged 1800 mah aa battery lasted 24 hours+.
A cheap pound store alkaline battery from a pack of 12 lasted about 8 hours.
I have run these from batterys that were too flat to run other things but had enough power left to work on these for several hours. ;O)
