Hey kubikop, do you think that an ignition coil has a resonant frequency too?

Thanks for the 555's by the way!

[kubikop]

Hi

Yes they do, I have seen this to be true.

Im glad the 555's go to you ok.

Paul.

[budsiskos]

would it be possible to do this with small parts like what you could get at radioshack or somthing like it?

[kubikop]

Yes, I am only using a transformer, a neon, some leads and a Frequency Generator. You could use a 555 Timer Circuit.

Everything's connected.

For a given sized cap, the higher the frequency the more it conducts AC electricity. If the frequency is high enough, the cap looks like a short circuit.

That's why the neon only lights up when the frequency gets fairly high. The stray capacitor starts to conduct more and more power as the frequency gets higher until you see the neon fairly well lit.

So the question is, is the electron theory correct when it states that a closed loop must be used for electrons to flow. Assuming electrons are what is flowing and lighting the light, even by the light lighting barely, where are the electrons coming from or going to, with no return path. Interesting indeed. Perhaps electron theory needs a revising.

Hey I used bedini SSG and it worked too! I instead of a battery connected an ignition coil to the output, and the motor turned into solid state!

I can do all these cool things now, like lighting neons and tubes without touching them at all , and even use aluminum foil as a speaker, quite weird really.

Also, at high frequency the arcs doesn't hurt so much, though at lower ones it can be really painful.

I have tried this at low voltage now and have lit two LEDs two meters away from the source using matched transformers and a single wire at least 2 meters away from the previous transformer. I think I have Stationary Waves as the voltmeters do not register voltage but two LEDs Light at full Brightness.

Any thoughts?

A long lead on the dangling wire increases the stray capacitance, making the neon glow brighter.

One of the more dramatic demonstrations of stray capacitance is when you put your fingertip on a partially glowing CFL and it glows brighter. A few months ago when CFLs were all the rage you saw it everywhere on YouTube.

[kubikop]

Ill google stray capacitance, cheers.

but it works if you put a long lead on it with the neon attached at the end? does that sound right?

Hi Rusty

I think it works on the same principle, Resonance.

Im going to try it with an oscillator tonight, then I want to make a circuit that auto tunes it, so you dont need a scope to get results.
