This is the vibrator circut used in car radios to convert 6 volt to 150 volts to power the vacume tubes back in the old days before transistors. There really is nothing new about this!

I can light a light and charge a battery with a wall socket too.
Big whoop.

you said his name wrong mr.smartness
-
i tried it i found a ballast resistor inline to the ignition coil from the relay dosent hurt the performance but makes the points last longer than using a resistor the way you have it thats just my experience though miles may vary
-
I just wanted to thank you and your wife sir for posting all this stuff for us. Keep up the good work.

What are they using and can I get the shematics. If its bedini skip it lol.

Have you tried 2 relay bouncing the emf from one to the other?

No. I have not tried that one yet.

you can not replace the relay ever..the relay is the part that makes the radiant sparks. Shut of your light and see for yourself. By the way relay in selfocilating mode is super old DC to Pulse inverter. What you can do is to hide the relay is some noise lowering caseing.

The relay has aready been replaced by the development team at the Energetic Forum. They are using a solid state oscillator to trigger the ignition coil. More reliable and no noise.

really cool man, theres a lot of promise in this, 5 stars.
Whats a reostat? just a variable resistor? i noticed Marthale is using a globe.
just found my next project!
cheers,

The dimmer part in this replication of the Imhotep Radiant Oscillator is called a "rheostat" which is often found in an automobile to dim the instrument panel lights. It is basically a heavy duty 25 ohm variable resistor. In this circuit it acts like a ballast resistor to also reduce to current draw. It gets hot and that is why Marthale switched to a 12v tail light bulb which works quite well but you lose the dimmer feature.
