  • Hey. Discovery!!! I replicated this too and one thing I find is that if you NOT connect the earth ground ... but rather bring the wires close to it so that it ARCs across -- like spark-gap -- the LITE becomes very bright as its ARCing.

  • I tried it too and it does work.. BUT ... measure the current from the primary battery. I see a very high-current ... around 24Watts ... which is roughly what it takes to drive the CFRs.

  • Lidmotor, could you tell me if the circuit has been posted anywhere? also what would be the amps coming out of the cap be, if you discharged it to a flat battery?

  • wow

  • isn't there an easier way to charge a capacitor??

  • Quoting Mart: "Every time I go to remove the power from the source battery ZAPPP!. I am going for my rocker off on switch. Also to note if I put only one connection of the volt meter to primary battery positive there is an arc about 1/16 of an inch long! with the volt meter off!"

    Everybody is getting excited! lol

    I think that I can explain this one, it is quite interesting...

  • The high voltage coil when connected to earth ground now establishes a voltage reference between the battery system and the earth ground. The battery system is no longer 'floating' relative to the earth ground.

    As an 'observer' looking from earth ground, the high voltage coil is making the whole battery system have a high voltage AC potential relative to earth ground.

    Literally the moment you connect the coil output to earth ground, the entire battery setup is now at a high AC voltage.

  • A note of caution here: Suppose that you connect the ignition coil output to a water pipe. Suppose that you are bare foot on a damp floor giving you good contact with the same pipe ground.

    Then if you touch *any* part of the setup, the battery positive or negative, the transistor, the fan, the coil, any resistor or pot, etc, you could get a very serious and potentially dangerous shock.

  • are you telling me that you aare charging a capacitor with an earth battery and powering up two CFL's? are you also charging more batteries?

  • No. The earth battery uses 2 electrodes into the ground. We are just using one as a "sink" for the circuit. The Bedini SSG circuit that is driving the ignition coil here has a charging portion that I did not show in the video. The cap charging is happening off the ignition coil backend of it's circuit. Efficiency is what we are after here. More bang for the buck.

  • COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL LOL i so happy!!!

  • Ren and Nat are right behind me. This is reeeaaallly cooooll.
