My replication of the Lidmotor style wireless oscillator.

I noticed the "Loop" should be near the coil, so I made a circle around the circuit with the "Loop" and also strung 30 LEDs around as well. In this configuration, oscillation is strong and hard to disrupt. Lighting a total of 126 LEDs.

  • I never did see this one! Cooool :) I never saw anybody really crank out the light with this circuit to the point of something "usable" (beyond a night light, so to speak). For clarification, for all... in the end there... what were we observing (for current draw) was it 12v / 0.100a or was it 12v / 0.01 ? How many milliamps at 12v to drive all those puppies? The inductors, were they Fuji triggercoils as in the jonnydavro simple sec? Thanks! Awesome

  • @KyleCarrington I believe I was only getting 1/4 of the power I could get from it because I didn't chain up enough LED panels. It works great for about 50 LEDs per av plug.

    Also the amp draw is funny because as you saw I was able to make it say 0. The meter I was using is not good enough to measure radiant circuits with precision, but it was quite low.

  • funny how the metal ball once excited pulls the excited field with it a ways, like taffy. If you find a metal slinky you'd be able to play with shooting the excited field in straight lines like Stiffler's latest videos. Great stuff :)

  • @Inquorate

    WEIRD. I know... I think what happens is when I get the ball close to the pan, oscillations build up and eventually the light turns on. Build up enough oscillations, and I can slowly move the ball without disturbing the field too much. Actually I have no real explanation for the phenomena I displayed, its all just guesses. I'm still amazed it can do wireless!

  • All i can say is WOW! :-]

  • I had an NE555 driving a transistor into a automotive coil and discovered that a Darlington was the way to go. Switch high currents without high base currents.

    It was easy to tune the freq of the 555 for resonance of the coil. Used it to punch pin holes in aluminum foil.

  • wtf is this thing supposed to do?

  • Quick Watson! Grab the spectrum analyzer!

  • Where is your Don Smith info please?

  • Keep up the good work

    A lot of light with LITTLE power

  • This circuit was inspired by his research however it was a lidmotor creation. ;-)

  • DC.
