Lasersaber Super Joule Ringer
« on: March 24, 2015, 05:22:28 PM »
Hello All...

Let me introduce myself by saying that I am very new to the entire concept of getting more energy out than was put in and while I am not chasing an over unity pipe dream I am very curious when it comes to electrical power generation and manipulation. I am not an electrician nor an engineer, I am a complete newb but I can wire a house and even make some minor repairs on electrical devices. I have a basic understanding of how it all works. All that being said. There is one project that interests me and please forgive me if it has already been discussed on this forum but the idea from Lasersaber regarding his super joule ringer seems to be a project I could tackle and get my feet wet so to speak. I have a shed / workshop that has no power. I could really use lights to start with and this seems like a good option rather than trying to run a couple hundred feet of wire from the house uphill.

My question is, has anyone else attempted this? Is this something a novice/beginner can tackle? it looks pretty simple with great rewards in the form of basically free off the grid lighting when coupled with a small solar panel or earth battery.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks
John

Fundamentally these are power converter's.  The design in the linked video is simple to construct and almost anyone should be able to manage it.  The cheapy 12V to 110Vac inverters sold at auto parts stores and such are built for low cost, not high efficiency.  There are however lots of inverters that cost considerably more that are built to be very efficient.  So called microinverters that are used in grid tie systems are now around 96% efficient, and perform maximum power point tracking maximizing the yield from the solar panel but cost $150. for a ~200W unit, instead of $30. for a cheapy 70% - 80% inverter from the auto parts store.  There is a large solar enthusiast community, so if you are interested in building your own power converter you should be able to find designs.

question on your solar panel video:

why don't you loop solar panel and florescent light to power it,sory you are not OP
i can se that the site http://laserhacker.com/forum/index.php has a nice layout

No, not a troll...lol.. I am seriously interested in this little set up from Lsasersaber. In another video he is actually powering all the lights in his workshop with this set up and I believe he said that he is powering using an earth battery but could be wrong...

John Baumgartner,

Despite his name Laserhacker seems to be a real professional at building these JT circuits. So you really shouldn't have any trouble
building them from his plans.  I know I was positively impressed when he showed how he tuned his output inductor coils with flexible
wire on a turn by turn basis to precisely optimize it's impedance operating point. These "many led bulb" projects are meant to be
powered by ~12VDC at several amperes though, but this is a large number of watts less then if they where powered each by an official
110VAC source. Where you get the power from is up to you. For example you might charge a largish 12VDC lead/acid battery from the
sources you suggested. His SOLN light sources are optimized for solar cell sources but contain all the required components, some of
which are commercially built subsystems. Most likely he would be using an array of his crystal cell batteries to power those in his shop.
