Wireless Energy Transmission--Part 2

Wireless energy transmission using a transmitter and a receiver. A pulsed high voltage CFL driver is used to generate the signal and a car ignition coil acts as the receiver. Small elevated metal balls act as the two antenna.

Hi Lidmotor - what were you doing right at the end there? As you were going to show us the power fall away when you disconnect the ground, the voltage shot up to over 15 volts on the receiver.. Were your hands providing extra grounding? Great video!

[Lidmotor]

I don't know! I was fumbling with the ground clip leads with one hand and like you say it may have been Me that did it. Bodkins just posted a video showing a similar effect by adding in a capacitor. Maybe I was the capacitor.

Thanks for the update..

[Lidmotor]

Jabrinka--Stay tuned. There is more on the way.

You will also need to not use the spark gap to start with. This will get the cfl to light up.

[Lidmotor]

OK. I will try that

Would you create an how to build video ? THANKS!

Nice to see you guys transmitting energy. Just a reminder that measuring voltage with no load on the receiving end does not tell you very much, you have to measure the power going into a load resistor to give these experiments true meaning. The big question is to compare the received power vs. the transmitted power for different distances between the transmitter and the receiver. That requires measurements on both ends and experimenting with different load resistors. Not necessarily easy.

Wow Nat!! I am going to have to change the circuit then to keep from burning it up. Maybe go back to the Bedini one.

Hi lidmotor,

You will need to take your system up to 36 volts or even up to 60volts to get a cfl to light up.

Cheers
