My "Lidmotor CFL Table Candle with Power Module charging" replication.
I get the secondary circuit up to 39 Volts in the capacitors.
I used 0,22 uF 50 Volt KDPU 2,54 MM and ELKO RADIAL LOW ESR 105° 100µ 50V caps. I did not get 1N34 germanium diodes, so i used 1N60s (DO-7) instead. Non-rechargable batteries don`t seem to be chargeable using this method though like in other radiant charger set-ups (Have to confirm that)
Good job!! Today I tried several trick to get the energy into a battery and ended up with one AA---Just like what Joe Tate said to do. I think that there is too much impedance in anything larger than that for his circuit. It supplies a very very small amperage.
