@ofesad Amazing.

Have you think on using a old scanner lamp instead of led's?

Check it out, might be of help to get a brighter light.

Google: recycling old scanner

I am using UV led's in completely diffent experment, but you should be able to run a wire to your solar panel with a sheild for your eyes. I am only needing two led's two get a full charge from the panel in a closed project box. A led is a led you my get a big bang in power for the you dollar.

[pioneerpaddler]

I believe you are on to something with the light feeding

itself... - have subscribed to your channel just to see

the future... - you're coming closer than any others i've

seen yet... - and congrats on your very clear to see

and understand vids.

[Lidmotor]

pioneerpaddler---Thanks. At this stage is energy recovery and not a self -running circuit but it is a step in the right direction.

[SCENARIOBABY]

please update us lidmotor on this one! back to pirate's vids with the 400 led joule thief k.i.s.s.

[Lidmotor]

Scenariobaby--- See my next video but basically it was a false indication of in vs out energy. More was going out than in and the system did not self-run. I'm still working on it but in a different way.

[JavaLessons]

I see this going someplace else, but that's the fun part : where or what will that someplace else be ?

Exciting...

[kchomer1]

you should try the joule theif and put mirrors around the light source then put the solar charger next to it

[CosmicGnarler]

your so busy talking back in comments he has no time to tinker! I know you like to chat and so do I !

I think sandwich layers. I like a good sandwich.

Have a mass where its layered solar panel, LED material, mirror, etc. in various clever combination and have a single connection wire you link to a SEC, which then retune. That of course would get you amps from the lumens. Have the panels removable and then its a weird ultrabright spot light of future tec sci fi movie props.

wafer thin.

[CosmicGnarler]

when are we allowed to turn this thing on? I've played with handheld tesla coil and no problem. this thing stays about 50 ish feet from the road 2nd floor. Do you think heli's can sense it? cuz I got the black ones overhead all the time... you know the quiet ones you cant hear until your already outside walking around?

You think the self runner has a smaller detection area, because not so much is leaking out ?

Bodkins I think this thing goes through a faraday cage. It might excite the cage

[JavaLessons]

Still running green ? ;-)

[pioneerpaddler]

Very Cool... - I just learned about the "Joule Thief"

this evening... - saw it on Pirate88179 channel where He lit over a hundred or so led bulbs from some type of small earth battery or some other type of small battery... - Would a "Joule Thief" aid in your configuration ? ( am a fascinated "newbie" here )

[Lidmotor]

pioneerpaddler----The JT circuit can be part of this but the idea here was to look strictly at Dr. Stiffler's SEC .

[egn83b]

Good deal! Second source of power besides the av plugs. I think you might have a winner there lidmotor. I think a way to increase the brightness is add a light reflective mirror and you might double the lumans of the leds and push more power for the solar cell. Put that just proves the solar led might be a winner.

[Lidmotor]

egn83b-- I had the same idea. The Faraday cage box that I put this in could be lined with mirrors. The lumens would bounce around inside the box and there would be one big party going inside there.

[area2000]

Very weird stuff if it works! I hope it run very long.

Please do it like Flux4 has said, can`t wait for the result!

5* FOR THE HUMAN FUTURE

[Lidmotor]

area2000- Thanks

[BasementBen]

Amazing! cant wait to see the time results!

Ben.

[Lidmotor]

Ben--- The setup isn't quite right to do the long run test. If I use solar energy every day it will just keep on going. If I put it in a box like Flux suggested and ran the test in a sealed up condition with and without the panel covered-- THAT would be the interesting one.

[GuyFawkes2008]

beautiful!!!! That is what I had hoped would happen. I t would be cool to do what CosmicGnarler Said and Add more LEDs Keep it up!!!!

[Lidmotor]

GuyFawkes---Adding more LEDs costs energy on this closed loop setup. I don't think that you would get it back. It might work on the open loop one though

[starlite2991]

where did you get the phone charger?

[Lidmotor]

starlite--I got the solar phone charger on Ebay

[JavaLessons]

Oh, you.....

OU ?

[Lidmotor]

JavaLessons---I don't think so. Maybe another way. Still it is tempting to put it in the closed box and let it run down. I would love to be wrong on this one.

[CosmicGnarler]

can you add more leds on positive pole, or anywhere to increase brightness?

Maybe have another 18-1 in feedback mode activated wirelessly?

Nice work again. clearly demonstrated.

[Lidmotor]

CosmicGnarler---I don't know. Most of the SEC energy is being fed back into itself on this closed loop setup.. Adding more leds I think would just cost more power. The open loop setup is another story and I may look into that.

[geminitric]

I was waiting for you to try that! Awaiting your measurements.

My hat is off to yourself and the other Dr. Stiffler 'students'. Congratulations on some wonderful work!

[Lidmotor]

geminitric---There a bunch of great people working on this.  It is a facinating project.

[webovisionca]

interesting

[Lidmotor]

webovisionca--- Yes it is very interesting.

[Flux4Energizer]

Very nice once again.

I think green means a bigger charge than decharge! But only one way to find out.

Let the setup run continiously without charging it up (cover the top of solar cell or something) and time how long it takes to drain the battery then charge it up again an put the whole setup in a closed box feeding from it's own power and let it run a couple of times longer then the measured time and take a look!

Great stuff.

5 star rating of course.

Keep up the good work!!!

[Lidmotor]

Flux---Sounds like a good experiment. Dr. Stiffler suggested that I also put the whole thing in a Faraday cage to show that the system is not gathering energy from another source.

[Flux4Energizer]

The Faraday cage is a good idea indeed.

I didn't think of that.

I'm looking forward to your next experiment and findings.

[rlewis1946]

Very, very neat stuff, indeed!!

Keep up the great work!

rlewis--Thanks.
