Energy harvesting circuit test with subscriber-suggested modifications. In this experiment, I test a modified blocking oscillator designed to improve outdoor performance, grounding behavior, and LED brightness using real-world conditions.
In this video, I compare the original energy harvesting circuit to a new design sent in by a subscriber, exploring dual grounding points, diode changes, and unexpected performance improvements both indoors and outdoors. The results were genuinely surprising, especially how the circuit behaves with minimal connections.
If you enjoy experimental electronics, energy harvesting, or unconventional circuit behavior, you’ll want to see how this one performs.
💬 Let me know in the comments what you think is causing these improvements — and whether you’d try this circuit yourself.
