Hi Magnethos,

Essentially a bifilar coil is pretty much a double wound coil. Instead of using one wire you use two wires of similar or slightly different thickness and wound it around a spool.
There are many techniques that will enhance the effectiveness but lets stick to the basics for now.
Imagine winding a single wire coil around an empty fishing line spool. When you are finished you are left with two wires. The end that you started with and the end that you finished with.
Now imagine winding two wires at the same time around another spool. At the end you are left with 4 wires, two wires you started with and two that you ended with.
There are some nice videos on YouTube that show you exactly how to wind bifilar coils. Actually thats how I started out.

Now in NRG's circuit diagram he shows a bifilar coil but with only two wires which is actually 4 wire ends joined into 2 groups making two wires.
I hope that makes sense.

For now consider winding the bifilar coil first. My first coil I still use. Its approximately 300-350 turns around an emtpy fishing line spool. I used 23 and 26 gage wire to wind it.

Let me know if you need some more info.

Cheers!

Hi Magnethos,

Firstly, I recommend getting well acquianted with NRG's video, you can find it here YouTube - Free Electrical Energy.
Get a pen and paper and jot down those schematics and parts in the vid. Thats how I went about it.


Info Parts:
In this vid he explains what parts you'll need to replicate he's experiment.
The bifilar coil he is using has a high amount of windings. You dont need to wrap that many windings. 300 windings where sufficient for me to test this.

For the cap, I tested a few and eventually went with a 400v 3.3uf electrolytic type. Any higher voltage cap with a decent capacity will do.


Bifilar Secret:
I got stuck on the bifilar coil wiring as NRG only shows two wires leaving the coil and I was expecting four. The 'secret' I eventually discovered was to combine the four bifilar wires into 2 wires by knotting them together.

Action:
That was it, I used crockadile clipse to link the circuit and bashed the clips together until I got the affect. I succeeded after a few minutes of correcting my timing of touching the clips.
If you get it wrong, I recall you will see a nice spark. If you get it right, that big spark lands up in the capacitor and registers on your Multimeter.

Let us know how it goes.

All the best!

Hey guys, I got this working.
It took me many attempts of touching the 2 wires to the capacitor negative at the same time.
The highest voltage climb was around 125v. Input power 2x12v batteries in series. 400v 3.3uf capacitor used to test.

Interesting stuff.

cheers

NRGFromTheVacuum's kindly got back to me with the coil and cap data.

Here is he's response if anyone else wants to experiment with this:

Hi Gmeat!

man you beat me to it. Can you share some details of your test setup?

The two variables I see are the bifilar coil and cap NRGFromTheVacuum's using.

The bifilar coil used has 800 windings, though there is not info with regards to wire thickness and if he uses different thickness wire for the primary and secondary.
Also, the cap he's using is a monster 4kv 20uf... In the energy saving bulbs imhotep was taking apart, there is 1x 400v eletrolytic cap and 1x 1or10Kv ceramic type cap. I'm planning testing both of these.

I took a look at some of NRGFromTheVacuum's other vids on youtube, he's making good progress with this.

cheers

Tnx for the vid Theremart. Are you planning on replicating this experiment?

cheers
