Wireless Water Synth Slider2732 2022-03-27 | A good Sunday afternoon project, to make music using wireless electricity and water.The negative and positive rods create ~1.6V when in the water, to power the oscillator primary coil. The coil is made from 30AWG, 24+24 turns, created on the pills bottle itself. The secondary coil, made from 24 turns of 30AWG then outputs the oscillations via a diode.How quickly the oscillator fires, is controlled by the tuning variable pot, for overall tuning, with the 'keyboard keys' selecting the notes. Here's is MilkywayOutcast's 'Sirens' video: youtube.com/watch?v=m-zqqXwZtxE
The Tesla Tower Crystal Radio Slider2732 2020-10-11 | Obvious to some, and eye opener to myself, this is a crystal radio with the look of a little Slayer Exciter.The station is only 450W, hardly a 'swamper' as may be expected for reception with no conventional aerial or ground. Others, such as KRMG in nearby Tulsa are 50,000W. Yet, KBIX comes through fine on a regular crystal radio earphone (made from the earpiece of a 1970's telephone handset). The powered speaker was used for demonstration purposes.

Long Runner 2 - Magnetically Cogged 2nd rotor - build Slider2732 2019-03-29 | Destined for a South facing windowsill, this build is a semi-step by step build of a 24/7, 365 day runner, to test the longevity of such designs. To clarify, the circuit being used is from one of the shown waving flowers from the dollar store. The coils are also from them. The 2nd rotor has had 2 small magnets placed over each original tiny magnet. The additional magnetism allowed the cogged rotor to lock on to the powered rotor at a further distance than planned. After 6 hours, the 2 are still locked :)
24/7 Solar Runner Slider2732 2019-03-22 | A long term runner, based on Lidmotor's recent videos of his window ledge designs. The need for only 1 1/2hrs of good light means the circuit and especially capacitors don't have to be subjected to strong sunlight. Such conditions can dry out the capacitors.That is also why the solar cells are placed on the top of the design. The motor can be otherwise shaded.Btw, the coil is from a dollar store solar waver and measures 500 ohms resistance.

Pseudo Levitation - Replication Slider2732 2019-03-10 | Lidmotor showed a great method to make low friction rotors for pulse type motors. Here's his original video: youtube.com/watch?v=K7Lz94VnY6YThe circuit used here is a simple reed switch + coil. A coil is connected directly to one power input and its other input runs via the reed switch. When the reed closes from a magnet passing, the coil emits its magnetic field to push the rotor around. A diode or LED can sit across the coil, connected opposite to the power input, to stop the reed switch being damaged by any electrical arcing.

Pointless but cheap festive drone upgrade Slider2732 2018-12-02 | Adding a Christmas theme to a tiny drone. For $1, it 'offers' sound, light and annoyance at 20 paces.Any of the 'Whoop' types could be altered like this, if for some reason you wanted to. The stronger motored examples will be able to handle the extra weight better than the weedy ones. To try, would be the Furibee F36, JJRC H37, Eachine Santa. Any of the Lego block carrying types would be fine. as would any that have been converted to FPV.
EGR pipe cleaning on 2010-2015 Toyota Prius Slider2732 2018-11-30 | A preventative maintenance step for these cars. If the EGR pipe is blocked and in combination with a blocked EGR manifold, it can lead to higher engine temperatures. The result of which? a head gasket failure at around 150K miles. Cleaning the pipe is a straight forward enough method of helping to avoid such a situation. An oil catch can is also helpful as an install, which NutsAboutBolts covers in his excellent maintenance series. Here's NutsAboutBolts reference video: youtube.com/watch?v=pMzonmV2km4My video is intended to compliment his, to show likely different angles and techniques. Also maybe 1 or 2 tips for fellas like myself who are fresh to such maintenance.
A wall adapter as TV aerial ? Slider2732 2018-11-28 | Saw this online a couple of days ago and had to try it out!We're redoing the livingroom at the moment and part of which was bringing out a TV from a bedroom. We've never had TV service while living here and have zero experience of digital channel reception at the house. TV is a Philips 37PF5322D/37A self repaired junk find, dating to 2008.The caps in the power supply section were dried out, from having been located next to a large heatsink. I replaced those and also a large burnt out diode. The chirping sound plus no screen output problems were fixed. Since then, 8 years ago, it's been used for playing retro games on or watching streamed movies from a PC.

A Spruce Goose - built using 2x quadcopter parts Slider2732 2018-10-08 | A small 2ft wingspan version of the Howard Hughes H4 Hercules, popularly known as the Spruce Goose. Flying weight is 88g/3.1ozThis one uses the parts from 2x mini quadcopters, my own firmware and some very bad foam.Quadcopters are JJRC H67 'Santa Quad' types. The end result has far too much power, but has been a blast to build and fly. Here is the zip file containing the firmware. It's based on the popular quadcopter tuned settings called Silverware by Silverxx.dropbox.com/s/qw1kbr5jpeicwys/Styles.zip There are several different types of firmware in the zip file. All are within the 'Styles' folder.My idea being to defeat the gyro of the quadcopter receiver and enable flying styles similar to those of toygrade aircraft from 10 years ago. Differential thrust, actuators, ailerons, rudder, single motor etc.It should be considered as Experimental and no warranty whatsoever is implied or granted if anyone uses it on their own builds. Pick a big field, out in the middle of nowhere for any test flights.

Can earbud magnets be used on R/C planes ? Slider2732 2018-09-15 | An interesting question from Ronie Cris Estimada...can earbud magnets be used as the magnet for an actuator coil ?The answer is surprisingly yes. Not only are they the right size and strength, they are cheaply available.Such actuator systems are best used with planes weighing less than 1oz, or 28g. Effectiveness is perfectly fine !I used to use crushed up bits of magnets from old hard drives, but now will use earbud magnets :)Original X-Wing video: youtube.com/watch?v=1ege4OfYqLIThe firmware used is a derivation of the Silverware quadcopter code.It is being developed for rudder, elevator, ailerons and other 'classic' control systems. The quadcopter gyro is also disabled, to bring a truer control ability, reminiscent of the toygrade backyard flyers of a decade ago

It now has a circuitboard from a JJRC H67 'Santa quad', with my modified Silverware code...to make it fly like the original system.'Santa' quads cost about $20 and the conversion simply entails the flashing of the firmware, then connection of the airplane motors to the 2 rear motor positions on the circuitboard.Motors can be mounted facing forwards or backwards.2 motors and props from the quadcopter can be used, to power an aircraft weighing up to approx 2oz.Link to Silverware for the JJRC H67/Boldclash B03/Pro and Eachine E011C. All use the same chips etc:http://sirdomsen.diskstation.me/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=bwhoopThe Differential Thrust code used on this F-22 can be found in my RCGroups Blog post here: rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3128052-Differential-thrust-firmware-for-Santa-quads-%21
Tesla s 645576 - new improved shiny tabletop emulation Slider2732 2018-08-15 | The schematic has been corrected for the transmission side of this tiny coiled circuit.The receiving side is the same, except both the primary and secondary are wound in the opposite direction to the transmitter coils, as shown in the Patent.The 2 turn primary isn't the output point, the top of the tower is instead, to an AV plug. A wire from the negative side of the AV plug goes to the 2 turn coil. Original distances achieved were approx 6" at 5V, now it's 12" at 3V, same ~50mA current usage. The whole thing about this circuit is the way that it likes to be grounded...handy for outdoors experiments.

Slider2732 2018-08-11 | A very odd situation.The pipe itself seems to nullify any feed in from the L3 coil.Same situation with the Ground I wanted to use which is over the other side of the yard, much deeper.Thread:overunity.com/17249/dr-ronald-stiffler-sec-technology/msg524785/#msg524785
Ready to go - Stiffler outdoors wireless electricity Slider2732 2018-08-10 | My setup for the hopeful wireless transmission of power, through only the ground outdoors.My record is abysmal for outdoors, sound/music has always fared better than usable power.Fingers crossed and good luck to Dr. Stiffer too.Dr. Stiffler's preparation video:youtube.com/watch?v=Zy-2U0QGzUs
