Lamp is a single 5 watt 90-220 volt AC LED light acting like a 60 watt Incadescent light. You can read a newspaper or magazine at midnight with it as its shown.!! I almost have the lamp lit at full brilliance using my setup and power from a small 12 volt battery. The room is dark - no lights at all except this single lamp. Notice the weird camera action going on when photograping the lit lamp??? Liken a steady flickering roll?? Not visable to the naked eye.

I found this circuit to act very strange. Whenever I spin the magnet the voltage builds up gradually to 90 volts DC. At that point the 90-220 volt AC LED lamp lites up. However the voltage measured across the lamp now DROPS and meters 28 volts DC with the lamp still lit. I can do this using a 2 inch diameter magnet or a 5 mm diameter magnet?? The voltage drops and stays at 28 DC volts with the lamp lit no matter what size magnet i use.?? I did note however that the light appeared brighter with increased magnet spin-- noticed smaller magnets on a stretched tight 25 pound fishing line work best.??? WEIRD!
My DC current clamp meter is on its way to me. Hope to take accurate measurements.

  • @jackscholze The LED lamp I am powering is rated at 90 to 220 volts AC . I am powering it with a small 12 volt DC battery. The lamp is "ALMOST" lit to full intensity. I did plug the lamp into 120 volt wall receptical to see what the actual full brightness was.

    I have a clamp meter on its way to me right now that I will measure all DC current and voltage without having to break into the operating circuit itself.. Will post results when finished. Also going to try. a smaller ring magnet.

  • Tom, To the uninformed, you are powering a light with a 12volt battery. Tell us why the coils, and drive circuit make it better, such as current draw, volts, and watts in versus watts out. Compare the volts, amps, watts in for the lamp by itself, and the volts, amps and watts for the lamp driven by your system. Thanks

  • @TedFnBuckle I am auction bidding for a clamp type multimeter that measures low "DC CURRENT" as well as AC and DC current and voltage. This device powers up so strange that all 4 of my meters read differently. I have two expensive meters and they dont read the same?? Thats when I plug the meters into the circuit themselves. Now my thought is to buy a DC current clamp meter that can read .01 amp or better by claming the jaws over a wire. No breaking into the circuit. Send data later.

  • Great video, just 1 or you could say 5 questions, what is the imput volatage and amps and what is the output volatage and amps to light :D again great videos keep them comming.
