An interesting ‘free energy’ generator (link below). It’s a very large light bulb to be operating from a 1.5 volt battery, especially that bright. If it was incandescent, it would not be so bright white, which leads me to believe that it has 1 or more LEDs. If so, then it must have a Joule

I’ve thought about putting a series string of LED lamps into a Moebius Loop to make a free energy generator. No telling if the thing will work. 😉 The LEDs I bought a box of 100 Sencart LEDS from dealextreme.com more than a month ago and they finally arrived this week. The cost was under

I bought a couple solar panels from goldmine-elec.com. They are cat no G20110 and cost $14.00 each. They are 3.5W and 0.19 Amps at 18 volts. I haven’t had a chance to measure and evaluate them yet.
This article is an assessment by the coal mining industry, and as such, it is most likely heavily biased. The reason I blog it is that it gives an idea of what the EPA is implementing and what the consequences might be. What does this have to do with LEDs, you might ask. Well, we

I was not content with the larger weight bag that was included in the Gravity Light kit. It’s too long and takes up a lot of room. By making it smaller I may be able to get the Gravity Light to run for up to a minute longer. I filled it with rocks which are

The postman brought me a package today and I opened it up. I was surprised to find the thing I’ve been waiting for for almost a year. It’s a potential to kinetic energy converter – the Gravity Light. I got to work and assembled it and hung it from the eaves outside. I filled the

I had fairly good success with the Zinc Air (sort of) battery, so I decided to make something using pennies. Prior to 1981, the U.S. pennies were made of solid copper, but 1981 and after the pennies have been made with zinc and a copper coating. I got six pennies, three of the solid copper

I saw a Youtube video on how to make a zinc-air battery using a zinc electrode and a piece of steel wool for the other electrode. The zinc reacts with the air and electrolyte (potassium hydroxide or KOH) and the steel wool does not, it serves as the conductor. I ordered some KOH online from

I think that, with the price of LED light bulbs coming down to commodity levels and their long life, the CFL bulbs will become more difficult to obtain. The LED lights are more efficient than CFLs or incandescent bulbs, and there has been a steady increase in Efficiency over time, which will probably continue. Someday

Kirk commented that I could hang the Gravity Light from the attic and let the weights drop into the basement. Problem is I don’t have a basement, and my attic isn’t much bigger than 3 feet (1 meter). I wouldn’t gain enough to make it worth cutting a hole in my ceiling. One guy once
