Lidmotor, Glad to see you and Gbluer are pusuing further experiments with the exciters. There seems to be energy oozing out all over the place! You can light things up, charge them up, it is all quite grand. Thanks and aloha
@jackscholze -----Aloha Jack. The weather should be nice over there right now. Of course it is always nice over there---usually. I do remember the Kona weather in winter with all the rain. One of these days I'll get back there.
@Lidmotor It's always better to study parts instead of studying nothing at all right? :) I think it's all worth the time that someone could put into it.
@GBluer ------ Thanks. I'm glad that we are helping each other discover things and then building off each other's work. It changes the learning curve and speeds things up.
Can you charge the battery and replace the cell charger with the charged battery and put the drained battery in the charge for a full recovery? I was wondering if you get a full charge on the charging battery or is it partly full.
Nice replication. I built a 5V, High-Efficiency, Step-Up DC-DC Converter today. Its basically like the cell phone charger, 1.5 volts in 5 volts out. I'm going to try to replicate this tomorrow. I cant agree more with the thanks you have given from Dr. Stiffler to Slayer007(Gbluer) and others. You did miss one person and that is yourself. You have contributed greatly and I would like to add you to the list of thanks.
@jiffycoil ----- I'm VERY interested in your high efficiency step - up converter. I hope that you post a circuit diagram over at the forum. Thanks for the compliment.
It is the the one I posted at the top of page 34 at EF. It uses the Maxim MAX756 CMOS step-up DC-DC switching regulator. The interesting thing about that chip is it accepts a positive input voltage down to 0.7V and converts it to a higher pin selectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The low voltage conversion is what interests me.
@jiffycoil -----Thanks. That looks like a ready made Joule Thief!!! Good news! I'll see if I can track one down and build up one of those circuits. It means that we can run leds on a an almost dead AA ---just like a Joule Thief.
Nice Replication and Thanks for the diagram! .05 v in a couple of minutes is a pretty large charge, actually... for using these excitation waves. The AC component goes through the battery while the DC charges. Or thats how I think it happens.
Do you think a JT that bumps the voltage up for the slayer oscillator would have a similar charging effect?
I really wish I could participate in these trials... No room available even for a small lab...
@CosmicGnarler ---Thanks. I don't know If you could use a regular JT here or not. It is worth a try. I know what you mean about space. There is a guy here on Youtube that works out of a tiny closet and another one who works off the headboard of his bed. I am lucky that at least I have a table.

@slinky460 -----Keep watching --there is more to come. All these projects are interrelated. The more I learn in one area helps me advance in another.

Again, very interesting. I'm learning more the more I view your videos, thanks.

@crusiatusblack ----- This is interesting to me also. There just isn't enough time to study it all.

I agree with Jiffycoil,You have some of the best video's on YT.
And thank you for taking the time to replicate this.

@egn83b ----- Yes. That is the whole idea here. Cycle the batteries to increase the run time.
