2012-10-17 Free Energy Magnet Motor (Engine)

I walked into the office and I found two of the guys trying to make one of these free energy fans with a fan from a PC and four powerful magnets from hard disk drives.  He showed me the Youtube video, so I went back later and watched it again.  They couldn’t get it to

2012-09-29 A 100 mV or 1/10 Volt Joule Thief

I made this JT with a transformer I pulled out of an old switch mode power supply from a PC (see the first photo).  The upper coil had a single turn as it came from the PS, so I removed that and wound 15 turns of 26 AWG enameled wire on the bobbin.  Its inductance

2012-08-30 Exciter (Mini Tesla Coil)

Last year I experimented with the exciter that I saw on a Youtube video.  It’s a simple circuit, and does some eery things, like light up a nearby CFL without  any connection.  The picture shows the schematic and how simple it is to implement.

2012-08-20 Bedini Motor

Peter sent me a picture of his Bedini motor, with its colorful coil (see the attached picture).  He says it draws 30 milliamps at 9V when running at maximum speed.  There seems to be a large following of this Bedini SSG device, especially among the Free Energy advocates.  It is called Bedini SSG, for Simplified

2012-06-17 Joule Thief As “Radiant” Charger

on June 17th, 2012 by - Comments Off on 2012-06-17 Joule Thief As “Radiant” Charger

I’ve read quite a few of the blog posts (here is one) and seen quite a few of the Youtube videos that use a JT for a charger.  Basically it’s a regular JT, with a diode from the collector to the charging battery’s positive terminal, and the other negative terminal connected to the positive of

2012-05-31 Joule Thief Powered By Solar Cell, Super Capacitors

This is another of my pictures originally posted to my warsonseblog in 2009.  This uses a whole board full of 1F 2.5VDC super capacitors I got from an online surplus sales, I don’t remember which.  I think they were all used since the leads were short.  At that time I don’t believe that super caps

2012-05-03 Make A Power Saving Plug

on May 3rd, 2012 by - Comments Off on 2012-05-03 Make A Power Saving Plug

I read Big Clive’s web page on making a power saving plug, and was disappointed.  Disappointed because it is such a ripoff that it would be a violation of Federal Trade Commission rules had it been sold in the U.S.  Big Clive said that the capacitor had one lead cut, so it was effectively doing

2012-03-22 OTEC Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

on March 22nd, 2012 by - Comments Off on 2012-03-22 OTEC Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

I recently read that Peltier TEGs (thermoelectric generators) are less efficient than conventional electromechanical systems such as turbines/generators.  Mayak pointed out that TEGs could be used to generate power by using the difference in temperature between the surface and deep water of the ocean.  I found the Wikipedia entry on this, called OTEC, which apparently
