Wireless Electricity ( for under $20 )

Experimenters Corner: By Lorrie Matchett This experiment is for demonstration purposes only to tweak your interest into science and engineering. Do not attempt to duplicate this experiment unless you are qualify to do so and if you do, it will be at your own risk...Important note: Playing around with high voltage / high frequency electronic ballasts can kill...if miss wired or miss handled in anyway, so be careful when performing such experiments...An important note: All CFL electronic ballasts are not created equal some will work and some with not. The best thing is to use the same one I used in this video, which works fine. One more thing, always maintain one inch or so between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil, if not the feedback current will burnout the electronic ballast ( epowerplus@gmail.com )

What are the black stands used to place the coils on?

[epowerplus]

@awesomejoniscool The coils stands ( black plastic in this case ) must be constructed out of non-metal type materials, if not the energy transfer will cancel out ...( voltage output = zero )

[epowerplus]

Yes, solder or clip the two wires from the coil / capacitor onto the un-cut wires as seen in the video.....Do not place the transmiiting / receiving coils to close to each other because the back EMF will blow the electronic ballast....Keep a distance of about 2" ( 5cm ) or so...Remember, fooling around with high voltages + current can kill, so be very careful, stay safe...

The 110-volt led light = Walmart, light socket base = Home Depo, Wire & ceramic disc capacitors from your local electronic parts store....Also check out electronic surplus stores, cheaper...

Forgive me if you think this is a stupid question, but I'm not 100% familiar with bifilar coils.. If there are two strands wrapped in parallel, where are the other two ends? I see a blue and white wire wrapped in parallel, but I only see one pair of ends on each coil (one white, one blue). Where are the other white and blue ends?

[epowerplus]

@DoktorD1313 I have not shown this in my video, but here is how to wind and wire a bifilar coil... Take two wires in-hand and wind them together to form a coil which should have have four ends when finished, Now, take one finished white end and one "beginning" blue end and soldered them together and leave as is..You should now have one white beginning end and one finished blue end, now connect the capacitor across these two ends... that`s it...

Awesome...this could be engineered into a little housing of some sort add a switch mechanism of some sort and used to power an often used light(s).

Hey where do the capacitors go in the circuit

[Practicallyperfectsk]

how did you split the base of the cfl light?

[MuzzammilA121]

Should the coils be the exact same diameter?

[ghaleb00]

what do we need to transmitter high power in long distance 

[tarunthesmart2]

can u give me a circuit diagram for this i really need it for my project please!

The RFID chips have coil/capacitors!!.... so this means the chips can be remotely powered?... CREEPY!!!
