Electric OU: Small Jacob's Ladder, or What a 555 Timer Can Do for You

[bleachworthy]

is the 555 wired as astable? also are you using a TO-220 style transistor? great job!

[TinselKoala]

@bleachworthy

The 2n3055 is a TO-3 case. The 555 is astable, yes. Don't forget to put in a big fast diode to protect it from the spike from the coil. Thanks...

[plecebomc]

how much did it cost

[TinselKoala]

@plecebomc

The most expensive part for me was the ignition coil, i bought it new from a car parts store, but you can get one from a junkyard for 5 dollars probably. The rest of the electronics parts probably cost about 8 or ten dollars. the big transistor is usually around 2, the chip 50 cents, and so on.

All the parts are very common and should be available off the shelf at just about any component store.

That's what, now, 5 or maybe 6 spam posts with different user names but the exact same text. You are blocked and reported.

I used a 5000v neon sign transformer once and got zapped pretty hard, caution is highly recomended with this stuff. Watch the ozone creation it is corrosive,

[prototype9000]

you could use the 2n3055HV its more sturdy and handle way higher power levels

[TinselKoala]

I wasn't aware of that, thanks. I don't think I've ever seen a 2n3055HV in the surplus stores I prowl. I usually use mosfets for this purpose; this circuit also works fine with mosfets, just increase the value of the gate resistor, and don't forget that snubbing diode!

[TinselKoala]

PLEASE NOTE: I'm encouraging folks to comment more on these videos. I'll be continuing to research the Ainslie circuit, FWIW, just for my own amusement, and as I find things out about it or related to it I'll post them in comments here, or in new videos. There isn't any hint of Free Energy appearing in any of my tests. To see "Free Energy" , see Aaron's videos.

But you won't be seeing it in stores, any time soon.

Better stock up on mosfets. I see they don't last very long in this service.

[Cloxxki]

I'm going to repeat myself. You do great work, and seem to know very well what you're talking about.

But don't you really know any more promising projects to devote your invaluable time as FE researcher to?

[TinselKoala]

That's right. I do not know any more promising projects that I can devote my invaluable FREE TIME as a "FE researcher" to.

If anyone wants to send me a Schwartz elemental rod generator, or ANY OTHER WORKING free energy device, I will be more than happy to test it and report my findings. PM me and I'll give you contact details.

If it works, I can make you rich. And hopefully get rich myself in the process.

I do.

> If it works, I can make you rich. And hopefully get rich myself in the process.

Aye, there's the rub. Even though I know of some FE projects with more promise, it will be more difficult to "get rich". The ones I'm talking about are in the public domain.

Sigh!!!

[TinselKoala]

Well, personally, after this Ains-lie thing, I'm about done with the whole mess. If most of what is presented is as error-ridden and full of hubris and sheer BS as what she presented, it's no wonder that real researchers just make the sign of the Cross and spit between their fingers when "yet another" old circuit or magnet arrangement is recycled, yet again, and subjected to the same old same old measurement errors and faulty thinking.

Then, of course, it's "kill the messenger" time.

[WhipMag]

Just come back to fizzx. We may be demanding, but you are appreciated there.

[TinselKoala]

fizzx is compromised. I suggest you do a "whois" search.

[WhipMag]

Can you suggest a better place? Certainly not OU or EF?

[TinselKoala]

Certainly not, is right.

I don't know. I'm content right now just to use these comments. It gives me some control (I can remove graffiti and block vandals) and the short comment format forces conciseness and clarity. Say that 5 times really fast.

[TinselKoala]

Nice.

[comwarrior69]

oooh, fingers!

[janne808]

For something reminiscent of 'free energy' and 'overunity' you should try out the TEA laser setup with this 555 flyback driver. Nonlinear electrodynamics straight from the atmosphere. Been meaning to try it out..

[TinselKoala]

Sounds interesting, I don't know anything about it. I'll look into it, thanks.

[eroutt]

great job! so how did you get OU? you don't have to answer that! i am sure it is in depth:)

[afdhalatifftan92]

Well, maybe charging up a battery while running it...

[TinselKoala]

Oh, sorry, I was being ironic.

All the energy in the Jacob's Ladder arc, all the energy that heats up the transistor and the diode and the coil, all the sound, all the noise and fury -- it all comes out of the battery, from whatever energy was put in there by its charger. The fact that the battery no-load voltage appears to rise a bit is due to the relatively HV spikes which return some energy to the battery in "fluffy charge". This does not represent a gain in the battery's energy content.
