The bulb you plugged into the grid was much brighter than the rest and that was with your hand covering it. Have you been able to get the JR to reach the same lumen rating? what is the lumen rating of all those bulbs @ 20W? We took our JR camping it lasted the whole week and fit in my backpack - Very Nice - thanks for continuing to share...
yes I feel sad when I see the last led bulb gasping for energy as it flickers to a close..please ground the system and see if it potrays any of the kapanadze effect..
The Joule Ringer and the SJR are just single transistor oscillators that electronics enthusiasts play with at least since the sixties. What is astonishing today is not this basic conventional setup but the suggestion that there would be here something new and revolutionary while it's only newcomers reinventing and renaming the wheel, ignoring it is known for decades! Of course, no "free energy" here.
If you really want this circuit to perform. Just connect a 1N4004 (cathode to base) in series with the wire going to the transistor base.. The diode allows the coil more time to build up before it triggers the transistor allowing more base current and voltage. When I did this to the LJLsc, minus the ferrite, I could light CFL's as well as all the LEDS I had. I also smelled ozone. Don't touch the wires or you will shock yourself. Also do not connect an earth ground to either of the wires going to the lamps. Maximum current draw.
I TRY DIFFERENT TRANSFORMERS AND MAKE MY OWN TOP CENTRAL COIL WORKS GREAT,THEN I MAKE THE TRANSFORMERS EVEN SMALLER A CREATE CLOSE TO 500V SO FAR I ELIMINATE NOISES AND HAVE 10 LED LIGHTS AND I TURN IT WHIT 5.5 VOLTS DC IS SO FUN I BELIVE WE CAN STORAGE THE POWER IN A HIGH CAPASITORS TO USE WHIT NORMAL APLIANCES BUT IM IN THE WAY LEARNING THANKS FOR SHARING YOU VIDEO ,I UPLOAD MY VIDEO SOON!!!!GRET JOB LASERSABER
fantastic presentation on the potential use of capacitors to run these devices!! have you tried earthing them to lengthen the light output even longer when running without batteries??Im still groggy about the coil content and its arrangement without a schematic..hope you can provide one next time
You are doing some good work here. Please, before you compare your wattages between mains-power and your circuit with battery, you need to measure the light output. May I ask what the capacitors are in your capacitor bank?
Lasersaber should also run his expertise on researching on other devices such as the Faraday Generator that runs on discs instead of coil , producing low voltage high amperage output, and also try improving the Bedini device
You are very close to replicating kapanadze device ..... add a spark gap .... and leyden jars or high voltage capacitors ..... build upon this ..... u'll get it .... definitely .... kudos to your work ..... Mr.LaserSaber .
Hi Lasersaber, not certain if you will ever read this buy hey ho, i have seen most of your vid's and they rock you are a bit like me i guess. i have built and been very successful with many JT circuits and i have tweeked them to what i wanted from them. I just tried my first SJR today and it worked strait off, i guess because i noticed in this Vid that you did not have that 72 T as in the 3.0 schematic so i laid taps at 20 turns and had some interesting results. I did notice however that this primary was different with the red and green wire and kind of guessed that is bifilar wound, so i am as we speak about to wind it up again and see if we can get some power gain. I am messing around with wireless energy transfer ( i build and design Induction Heaters for a living so natural progression i guess ) at the moment and have had lots of JT's going wireless, so i might even have a go at a SJR ?? I have also been doing a lot of work with Flat Bifilar Tesla's for induction heating and have had some staggering results ( Tesla Also Rocks ) where my goal is to send energy without the need for a traditional ( isolating ) Transformer. Also i have managed to light up several 240v 7W ( yep i am in th U.K ) bulbs withing a single induction loop Wireless of course. Anyhow can't wait to see what stage you are at nowadays, keep up the fantastic work. regards kev
Lasersaber: You've got me jacked into making a mini boost pack. Have you considered making a real time, step-by-step DVD? I would love to be able to do this, but need instructions in a simple format. Also I would be willing to send a few bucks your way for such a DVD.
That is exactly the type of things I have been experimenting with. I am testing this in a grounded Crossover config. After moving my workshop the Crossover research stopped. Now I am pretty much setup again. I even got my coil winder set bake up. :-)
+lasersaber how long will this run on a full charged lithium iron phosphate battery such as what your using in this video? How long could i run all 10 of those 110v led bulbs with that lithium iron phosphate? Thank you for your videos.
Have you checked out the video from UCLA? In March of 2012, the world was for ever changed! How many Farads is you booster pack? And with in the next few years, I see batteries going the way of the buggy whip!
How much capacitors have you used in this experience? By the way, your videos are not only cool, but inspiring for future applications. I'm about to go 24V off-grid in a couple of month, and using a SJR / supercapacitors in the light circuit seams a really good idea.
Amazing video as always! You seem to be able to do ANYTHING you attempt! I know we see the end result vs. all the failures that happen along the way to the finished project. Even so, you have the intuition to zoom in on WHY something's not working and effect a solution. Do you and ZeroFossilFuel interact? Cause you both seem to be working on parallel planes right now... Anyhow... GREAT PROJECT!
Can you do a basic/into to circuitry...i have been watching you video for about 6 mouth and I love them but I would love to know how all this works so I can start learn more myself
Lasersaber, I'm interested in running supplemental growing lights in my greenhouse in the morning and evening(possibly even an indoor growing situation, e.g.12-14hour duty cycle). Can I use this tech to run florescent bulbs? What kind of challenges can you foresee? It would be priceless to begin a thread covering this experiment as it may help lower costs substantially to my budding business.
congratulations on your discovery, I tried many times sdh but still fail, if I could be sent skematiknya, if I can buy the equipment you?Thanks hartono
Lasersaber, can you provide us with the math and the electrical theory? How efficient is this compared to say an inverter? What exactly is the interaction between the capacitors and inductor, other than the oscillation? What are the limitations of the SJR? Thanks.
Could you run a small electrical generator and see how much energy you can generate compared to used? Also see about making your own graphine. you can coat wires with it and you will boot your conductivity "semiens" by a huge amount.
I would love to work with you on a power supply for a computer. I wonder if it's even doable. If I can make something comparable to an 800 watt power supply I would be very pleased.
wow !!!! 8s amazing video....how many hours does 8 takes before the capacitor be discharge... if you remove 8 from the power source.....so capacitors are the alternate for batteries?
Can you make a youtube on how to fix bright, cool and quiet sjr + mini boostpack update. I would like to make one. What kind of light bulbs do you use? I really like this one, so I would like to build one for my living room. This is soooo awesome. I need a step by step, and a list of items to buy, please and thank you.
Have you or anyone thought about a circuit design that could detect voltage and re energize the capacitor boost pack? So, then you would have less draw from the battery and be a hand-free operation?
The camera must evaluate the brightness of a pixel by a completely different metric than the human eye does. I can think of at least one situation where an increase in perceived brightness to a human eye of many magnitude would be interpreted by a photosensor array as a fractional change, so I think it is likely that the fractional change in brightness that we see when he plugs straight to mains is actually much more significant than we think. The problem is that I bet those are making enough light to work by, and I enjoy your work and what not, so everything would be cool if it wasn't obvious that you are disambiguously controlling the wording of your claims so as to allow them to skirt maximally close to claiming a violation of physics, while still remaining technically defensible. Now, when I hear that being done, my mind does a helpful translation and under said translation you monologue sounds more like "Hi folks, today I'm going to show you that I think you're all so fundamentally incapable of processing information that I can trick you into thinking that I have discovered some mystical, magical way to get more grain out of one of my mills than you put into it." I mean, you had to know that there are very smart and convictive people out here that would call you out, and leave the record of doing so. Send one to EEVblog, and for fucks sake give bob a motor you monster!
have u ever tried to put a larger 100 watt solar panel beside those lights when lit use a magnifying glass to intesify the light onto the panel like we did as kids to burn them ants ... lolb and put power back into the entire system . every light burning without a solar panel and every wheel in the world turning without a generator are leaving wasted energy on the table . love the videos .
Without a lumen meter to judge the actual output illumination from those LEDs this is pretty much a interesting looking but wasted exercise. It doesn't matter how many bulbs you're pushing, if they are only putting out about the same amount of light as two or three bulbs.
Also, a voltage and current meter on the output. I bet his output voltage is dropping as he adds the lamps and each lamp is running at lower voltage, hence less power. Its funny that these people spend so much time on that stuff and dont even include a proper test circuit with minimal instrumentation.
is it lenz law less? canceled fields so lenz law don't have much effect and as a result output current draws do not affect much the source and make the caps stored amps last longer?
lasersaber I built a similar circuit (small core) and lit a 120v (30vdc) LED recess light (Utilitech), removed the inverter and powered the LED's direct, bright light. I was able to light half the SMD's without even toughing the positive lead by simply holding the lead in my hand. There is no common ground to the heat sink. I cannot explain this. I will post a U-TUBE soon if your interested.
Ok im trying to figure out why this is soooo special? Am i not seeing the special part of this? To me your just converting the DC to AC, same thing inverters do. Your amp draw is going to be different cause your voltages are different. Is this just a really efficient inverter?
I will try to explain. Most inverters are quite complex to build and have many components. The SJR uses just a single transistor. This cuts down on losses due to components. While most inverters burn 200 to 500 mA just to idle with no load, a SJR can power a single bulb to full brightness on 200 to 500 mA.
lasersaber is right. I know that watts change with voltage, but the conservation of energy don't care about voltage changes. If the load consume less watts now it means that less energy is beeing lost in others ways but lighting. PS.: Sorry for my bad english.
lasersaber Ok thats what i was trying to figure out. I know about loss due to components consuming the power. This does seem pretty cool. This caught by eye cause i work on boats where power is precious, there could be a market in boating, they use massive battery banks and massive inverters but you wind up with loss through lines and inverters, less loss equals more run time. Keep up your videos man.
Hello if I can ask for a schematic of this device, I would like to repeat your experience czesc czy mogę prosić o schemat tego urządzenia chciałbym powtórzyć twoje doświadczenie
I use it mostly for lighting. Some people use it for battery charging. I have been able to run some small AC motors with limited success. I also want to try making hydrogen with it.
você poderia me fornecer o esquema pra eu montar um aqui no brasil, quantos wattes este seu projeto fornece e usa alguma alimentação de bateria , se souber falar português agradeço,
Your measuring is wrong. Those cheap grid power meters are of the scale with such loads as a single LED bulb. If you would take proper measurements you will notice that the whole thing just performs as any other transformer.
Why are we never provited with any meaningful data of the simplest kind? Put a lux meter a few feet over the lamps. One time with grid power and than with the joule thief. Write down the wattage used of either setup and post all the numbers. How much simpler can it be to proof that we really created something special. Don't get me wrong I am not criticising this JTR it is the most promising setup I have seen so far, but with a few numbers we all could spare time and money to replicate it if it is not more efficient than standard powered.
You might be interested in this video where I compare it to a traditional DC to AC inverter: Lumens test! Super Joule Ringer 2.0 smokes traditional inverter! The SJR device is really designed to be a super simple power inverter for off grid lighting applications.
lasersaber Thanks lasersaber you are a man of skill and integrity. From your gut feeling, would you say that the exact ferrite construction is responsible for the outstanding performance? Are you willing to share the source for the ferrite rings?
Reply to Klaus Freis. Your suggestion about showing the wattage from the regular line and then from his system is almost exactly what he did. Watch the videos again. Stop making yourself look stupid.
