[NewCandle] Ron Stiffler thread

[Keith Nagel]

Hi All,

So Nick is still (avramenko) pluggin' away at the Stiffler circuit. Not
sure how you are characterizing POut, but I presume you mean
that the output power to the LED's is matching the input power
from the driver. What is the efficiency of the LED's in their
conversion to light with the rectified RF vs DC?

BTW, in the interest of full disclosure, Ron hisself seems to
have signed up with the list a few weeks ago. So perhaps we
can hear directly from him about the status of his work now
and whether any of the earlier claims still stand.

I think that one could take this basic idea, combine it with
a couple of ham tricks, and have a clever little product.
Basically it would be a LED light that runs off the local
radio stations. Now I know this is not Ron's claim, so
I leave all the OU part to him and Jones and claim the former
for myself (grin).
