Dodoshlodo-- I don't have a light meter to measure the lumens of light output. The systems that I have made (so far) appear to be similar in perormance to normal inverter type DC flourescent tube drivers. What sets them apart is the energy recovery aspect and that they can run multiple bulbs at the same time. Aromaz lives in Thailand. His system seems to produce the most light for the least power so far. Many people are working on it to help refine it.
iv notices that the neons work at 60 volts, you know you should start expirimenting with spark instead of neons, its the 4 state of being and we know nothing about it, i one time thought that a neon and a spark was the same thing but its not. the spark actually act as a rectifier/pulser, but a certain voltages it can dump both ways. please try it out. replace the big diode with a spark.
check out the ressonance dry/steam cell and check the reactions the energy flows both ways
Great job again Lidmotor. I'm curious about how the two CFLs are wired up. The first one gets the HV pulse from the coil and is connected to the battery ground. The second one is connected to the battery ground and the base of the first transistor. Are you sure the drawing is correct? I thought the two CFLs would be in series and connect across the coil HV and the battery ground.
Look at the diagram again. The CFL lead jumps the negative and is connected to the base of the first transistor. The earth ground is connected to the CFLs. It looks very strange but that is how it works.
That's pretty amazing. I hope Santa gets you a high-end digital storage scope with a HV probe and a USB port so that you can dump data into your computer and run Fourier transforms on the waveforms. lol
I am mystified as to how this circuit is working, certainly it is 'think outside of the box.' It would be great fun to analyze it with a scope and figure out exactly how it works. Be a good boy from now until Christmas, be on your best behaviour. lol
even at 500mA draw with 12 volts the system is using 6Watts of power... very impressive..
-wat is the normal power rating on those cfl's?
-are those 2 bulbs at 500mA sufficient enough to light a room?

Hey Lidmotor,
Since you are Imhotep Central, here is the 'Cadillac' version of the link I gave you before.
This link is fun with simple demonstrations similar to what you are doing:
/view_play_list?p=502E7BF2CF94D753
The following two links are the real thing, not fun, not easy, but absolutely real, and absolutely interesting and informative:
/view_play_list?p=9F74AFA03AA06A11
/view_play_list?p=C2CEECFD938FD494
Enjoy.

Dammit! There is an extra empty space character in each link that you have to remove for the links to work.

Brilliant lidmotor i new you where going to get it LOL :-)

The modified CFLs (no internal circuit) that I show in are not being run at full brightness.

OK--I will try that
