[NewCandle] Stiffler's Device

[Keith Nagel]

What I see from the circuit diagram is an inductive "kicker" to
get the 12V up to 120V, and on the secondary side are the
appropriate diodes and caps to rectify and store the charge. The neon
and semiconductor provide the voltage sensitive switching
for a relaxation oscillation, which periodically dumps the stored
120V into the lamp.

Lamps are rated by voltage, not power. A 120V 7W lamp takes 120V
to light, and 7W continuous power to stay lit. Presumably
this 7W is what got everyone excited, given the input power.
But look at the circuit. It stores charge on the secondary
caps until some preset voltage is reached, then fires.

Fact is, Ron points most of the above out himself,
and flatly states the device isn't OU. The schematic is also clear.
But what does he know, he's just the experimenter (grin).

If he's pushing the core into ferroresonance,
then a specific kind of core will work best. I rather suspect
he's not familiar with that phenomena, and it's certainly
mysterious to engineers used to working in the linear domain.

Barium ferrite? Why would you think it was that?

Hi all,

Now there's an experimentalist after my own heart!
Dude has some neat stuff on his home-site... the water
charging files are fascinating and well worth my read,
particularly since I still can't get the damned goofy
Joe Cell out of my head.  Yay for dude.

I like his use of caveats with his circuit experiments
- good sense of caution.  I never played with the Av
Plug concept at all, with the exception of when Sam
and I fiddled with micro-inductive scavenge antenna
circuits.  I always had a bad feeling about anything
that required a "very special ferrite", though.

That being said, the whole matter DID take me back to
some golden days around 1994 or so, when I fumbled
across a circuit that lit up a 120V mini lamp with
very little apparent power in.  It was pretty simple,
I had been inputting a sawtooth pulse train at like
12V from a generator into a 555 hooked up as a VCO. 
What I got out was a sequence of pulses where the
pulse width decreased with each pulse to a minimum,
then a gap, then started over again.  I had the output
of the 555going to a meaty little ferrite cored
inductor (maybe like 80 mH or something?).  When the
circuit was turned on, the whole thing began to
oscillate with a neat sine wave at about 20 kHz, and I
could light a little 120V panel lamp with it.

I wrote it up and it had been published by Hal Fox
when he had the old print version of New Energy News. 
It was a cagey thing, though, and I relegated it to
the bin of non-reproducible wonders after I failed to
get the thing to oscillate and work more than a half
dozen sporadic times or so.
