@ slayer007

Am I correct to assume that the variable capacitor across the L2 coil caused
a higher output by L2 (more bright LEDs and brighter FL)
in comparison to the same circuit (with the same 1.5v AA battery) without the variable capacitor?

Is the effect "wireless transmission of power" more confined to the vicinity of L2 once the variable capacitor is connected across L2?

I assume the circuit also functions without an L3 coil? Does the power consumption of the circuit increase once the L3 coil is connected (in comparison to when it is not connected)?

Your circuit has advanced quite a bit. I particularly like the indicator LED (above the two diodes).

@Conrad

Yes, The variable capacitor across the L2 coil helps with tuning and gives higher output.

With the L3 coil connected it will draw more current.
But it's not that big of a difference.

It will light the led's and Fl anywhere from 25mA to 65mA.

I haven't compaired the wireless effect with and without the capacitor yet,But I will.


@ Stprue

Thank you.

Sorry im in a bad mood because i dont have no help
i dont understand any of these circuits
but i built the best earth battery
overlimit all the time i built what I beleive
you guys are referring to as saturation
by combining the coils into a car coil
contains the frequency to i guess saturate
if thats what the term is refering to
its essentialy morays germanium
cells then it transmits 120 volts but
i dont know how to wire these juel theif
circuits every diagram is
two confusinf i find theres lije 100
designs and why are they stuck on
led the only difference between led and incandecent
is the spiral frequency from 1 to a coil
maybee some one can bridge the Gap for me with a simple email
explaining how a basic jouel theif circuit
is wired so I can figure it out and
fix it so we can use the wireless energy
on everything does anyone know how to
charge a capacitor if the fucking wireless
transmision shocks the fuck out me at 120
volts why or how do i store it well im fucking lost confused
maybee i need to go get a Job at radio shack to fucking learn
stupid ass diodes and shit just to power a fucking house
wireless

Hi!

I hope this thread hasnt died, and that there are a few people here interested in the simple slayer exciter.  Ive been playing with one for the last few months, and today ive managed to light a 40W filament wirelessly, just held in my hand.  Input is 15V @ 1A.  I dont get any kind of shock.  Is this cos of the skin effect?  Heres the video:

First bulb in video (and for last 30 seconds) is 40W. I'm just holding it in my hands. It lights properly (but not fully).  White light and plasma.

Second bulb is 30W - it doesnt light properly, but acts like one of those plasma globes you can buy.  No white light

The exciter is a powerful beast.  Whats going on with it?  My tesla coil never let me light incandescent bulbs in my hand....only CFLs and neons.

wow FH that's pretty impressive!

I have been messing with my own version for some time and there seems to be lots of possibilities with this circuit. 

Keep up the good work

 

Thanks!

I reckon my impressive output is because of the transistor i use - its a MOSFET (IRF 830).  I dont see anyone else using it, and its far more powerful than my TIP 32C (bipolar junction) transistor.

There is a really good thread for exciter enthusiasts called ''joule thief, sec exciter and variants'' on energetic forum started by Jonny Davro.  Come and join some fellow exciter builders.     The exciter threads here seem to be a little dead.

Thanks for the interest groundloop - Check out the third incandescent in the following video!!!!  Bright as can be!!!  And destroyed during experiment. and all 4 types work

Thanks for the great diagram - here are some of the answers.

Coil dimensions

33.5 cm high, 11cm diametre PVC pipe - Typical drainage pipe for toilet. Its NOT the coil i bought in a tesla coil kit - i made this one myself so its hardly professional  Took me 3 hours!!!
Primary coil 3mm diametre (as a pancake) 2 turns at the bottom of the secondary
Secondary about 1mm, maybe 0.9mm (really not sure about this...just used an old ruler). (not really sure about number...but coil stretches 28.5cm so i think about 280 turns. I was wrong earlier in my statement of 450 turns - sorry)

i think the resistor is one watt.

IRF 830 on BIG heatsink i ripped out an old monitor which is back to back with smaller heatsink.  (Gets very very hot)

Power supply is from an old printer which states 16V at 320ma but runs at 15V @1A on this device.  Nonetheless, I can get the same effect with a small Lead Acid 12V battery (5.6Ahrs).  Incandescent are no problem with this baby    Its great fun! 

Hi GroundLoop

I also have a 50mm diametre coil but i couldnt get it to work at all - i hope you have better luck with it.  If you fancy winding your own use a fat toilet pipe (11cm diametre) and i think youll get much better results - another guy called ''jiffycoil'' on energetic forum gets fantastic results and he also has a fat secondary PVC pipe.

I'm starting to think that again ive made a mistake with the secondary -  its thinner than 1mm - its about 0.6mm diametre and there are perhaps 400 turns, perhaps a bit more.... Sorry for so many mistakes!!!
