  Loading ... |  Click here to read | A few minutes ago the Radio Shack piezo element, part number 273-073, flashed the red LED again. People who want to make their own unit that will flash an efficient LED about twice per day please see the home page. Please remember to not disturb the piezo with loud sounds & vibrations. After you build this simple & inexpensive test, go ahead and see if it flashes the LED inside a pitch dark room. Give your eyes about 5 minutes to adjust. If it does not, then it’s needs recovery, so give it 24 hours before retesting. If the LED does not flash on the 2nd attempt, then give it a few days to rest. Although I cannot say if the Radio Shack piezo is recovered enough right after buying it from Radio Shack, I can say that mine produce over 400 mV the moment I got it home. It was probably at least a few volts, but it saturated my meter. Note, you need a special meter with giga ohms input resistance to detect the voltage. This morning the Radio Shack piezo element part number 273-073 once again lighted the efficient red LED. This time, the LED was pointed at a while Styrofoam box a few inches away, and not at my eyes. The light was bright enough to easily see the red light reflection off the Styrofoam in the dark room. Last night the Radio Shack piezo element, part number 273-073, once again lighted the efficient red LED for ~ 2/3 of a second. This morning, ~ 8 hours later, the piezo element lighted the red LED again. Over past several days the Radio Shack piezo element, part number 273-073, has lighted the efficient red LED 3 times now. This is very interesting, as it requires significant time, at least a day, for the piezo element to recover from each discharge. The piezo element is inside a thick Hammond metal shield, connected to a mechanical tilt switch, which is connected to an efficient red LED (see previous blog posts for part #). All of these passive components are inside the metal shield, except the red LED points out of a hole in the metal shield. When the entire chassis is tilted, the ball in the tilt switch closes the circuit, and the piezo element discharges through the red LED. Prior to first discharge, the LED lighted for ~ one second. Prior to that the entire setup was undisturbed for ~ a week. The second discharge was ~ a day after the first discharge, and the LED lighted for a fraction of a second. The third discharge was ~ a day afterward, and again lighted the LED for a fraction of a second. Once the piezo element has discharged, it does not matter how many times the setup is tilted back and forth, as the LED does not light up again until the piezo has had sufficient time to recover, which so far has been ~ a day. For years I have suspected that someone has been trying very hard to sabotage me and my research. Every so often someone will tell me of a terrible email I wrote them, when I did not, when there is no record of such an email on my computer. Today I have my proof, the SA (system admin), hacker, or someone at the Steorn forum has edited my posts at Steorn, as suspected many times in the past. Since I have suspected that someone has been editing my posts for years now to make me appear as a fool, I decided to start copying & pasting my posts in a text file on my computers hard drive. Today, a user by the name of maryyugo quotes me as writing “10 whats” to make me appear as a fool that I confuse “watts” with “whats.” Maryyugo has been one of the more serious ones at Steorn, and it would be very unusual for Mary to incorrectly quote me. I then check my text file on my computer, and sure enough, I did *not* write “10 whats.” I went back and *carefully* verified that *my* post, and indeed my post said “10 whats.” I made a complaint about this in the thread. One of the admins replied saying my post did not say “10 whats.” Indeed, some change my post back to “10 watts.” I know for fact my post was first “10 watts,” then “10 whats,” then back to “10 watts.” And maryyugo is not the type of misquote people. At the time of this writing, maryyugo’s entire post still says “10 whats?” I have my proof. Furthermore, in the past the admin, SA, or hacker has changed my forum avatar/icon to make me look like a fool. Also, they changed the URL in my forum properties to an unappropriated website. I am officially writing that *none* of my posts at Steorn can be trusted as what I have written. I will add that someone has been sending out emails in my name trying to irritate people, trying to get as many people as possible to ignore me and my research. If you have received an negative email or private forum message from me, then odds are it was *not* from me, period! Please contact me if you have. Thank you. For years I have posted that my computer has been hacked, but the above Steorn incidents requires more than my computer being hacked. It requires the Steorn forum to be hacked, or one of the forum or sever admins to achieve such a task. I thought it would be interesting to map the records for the amount of peak power a highly shielded (both electrically & thermally) diode or piezo has produced thus far for a duration of at least one second. The horizontal axis is time in days beginning from the start of the research, which began in December of 2007. So the left side of the graph, which is zero days, is December 2007. The vertical axis is power in watts, and is *logarithmic*.
The above graph was produced *only* out of interest, nothing serious. It’s interesting that the power is increasing beyond a logarithmic rate, since the vertical axis is logarithmic and the power over time is not a straight line. According to the pattern, in ~ 3 months the research will reach the 10 watt level. It’s difficult to say since there are only 4 data points on the graph, but it will be interesting to see what happens in about 3 months. Presently I am not spending 100% of my time on the research since I ***must*** begin making money again. Over the past several weeks I’ve been spending less than 10% on the research, but hope to bump that up to 33%. So if I can spend 33% of my time on the research, then the 10 watt goal should be obtained (according to the graph) in 3 months / 0.33 = 9 months, which is July 2010. So we’ll see if the ten watt goal is obtained by July 2010. BTW, there must be some guidelines. The component (e.g., diode or piezo or electret) must produce the power for at least one second, but must be able to reproduce the same amount of power after the component has sufficiently rested. Again, this is only for the peak power record; i.e., the maximum power such a component can produce. Also, for components that might have an appreciable amount of electrochemical reactions, the device should be shorted for long durations for analysis. Highly shielded (both electrically & thermally) diodes, piezos, and electrets are not driven by electrochemical reactions. Today I connected the Radio Shack piezo element, part number 273-073, to a *highly efficient* red LED, part number TLCR5800. The piezo element was successful in lighting the red LED for ~ one second. I was in a dark room for ~ 10 minutes. I would describe the light intensity produced by the LED as being bright, and would wager it could be seen in a dark environment up to perhaps a few hundred yards. After one second, the DC voltage produced by the piezo element was too low for the LED. It should be noted that the 273-073 piezo was no where near recovered. The piezo had been shorted for ~ a straight month, and then placed in a metal shield for ~ a week prior to the above experiment. This piezo, when fully recovered, will produce hundreds of nano amps for a short period of time, and decaying to hundreds of pico amps where it lasts for a long time to it’s final lowest point of ~ 10 pA. Of course, this is a decaying current, and for ~ the first second the current might be in the micro amp region. That may not sound like much current for an LED, but I was able to detect light from this TLCR5800 red LED down to 10 nA. So 1000 times that is a bright light, relatively speaking, when one has been inside a dark room for ~ 10 minutes. To recover a piezo or diode simply disconnect it such that *nothing* is connected to it. Place the component inside metal shielding for a long time, at least 2 to 3 weeks. Although that may not sound like much, it’s definitely one giant leap for mankind. I’m now a follower of Ed Dames. Here’s the historical event:
I would call 38.65 miles out of a distance of two states in the US a definite “hit.” And the experts were not even searching in the correct state. Major Ed Dames not only had the correct state, but was within 38.65 miles. Ed Dames makes a good point that his team TRV’d Steve Fossett’s body, and at the time of the TRV sessions it is believed animals consumed his body. Given animal migrations, Ed Dames map could have been spot on, but so what, 38 miles is nothing compared the search area of two states. Way to go Major Ed Dames!
I just donated $100 to the Dian Fossey foundation to help save the remaining 700 mountain Gorillas in the entire world, and lets all hope those sweethearts make it. So heart breaking! After a lot of research now, my preference was for the non-profit Dian Fossey foundation –> http://www.gorillafund.org Dian Fossey is the famous lady that began living with & researching wild Gorillas since 1966. I have verified that they are a legit non-profit USA organization, and are working hard to save the Gorillas. The Dian Fossey foundation contact info –> http://www.gorillafund.org/contact/index.php Dian Fossey foundation donation pages: You can donate online or by phone. I donated by phone –> General donations, used as they see fit –> Sponsor a patrol team or member –> Adopt a Gorilla –> Sigourney Weaver has been helping to promote the Dian Fossey foundation to help save the last few remaining mountain Gorillas. I commend Sigourney Weaver, who now holds the position of Honorary Chair at the Dian Fossey foundation. I must now honor her by watching the famous movie, Aliens, again. Please see my previous Gorilla blog post, Save our Gorillas! The 273-073 Radio Shack piezo has proven to produce a consistent DC current that fluctuates at a bit above 10 pA (typically between 2 pA to 25 pA). So late yesterday I disconnected everything from the piezo to allow it to recover, as the piezo has been shorted for a long time. Also, I shorted the piezo wires in accordance to a recent theory. The theory predicts that the piezo will recover at a faster rate with less contact metal. What is meant by recover in this case is not to suggest the piezo is in a “disturbed” state. The piezo appears to be in an undisturbed state, but is drained. The recent theory suggests that charges build up that cancel an appreciable amount of the build in voltage. Nearly all of such charges build on on metal. Metals have a negative dielectric constant, which means they cancel electric fields. That is not what we want, and therefore an ideal Electret battery would use something such as low resistance Graphite carbon plates instead of metal, as graphite has low resistance, but has a positive dielectric constant. For those who have a voltage meter, who are on an super budget, and who do not even want to spend a few hours building a setup, for a grand total of $3.58 plus tax and in a few seconds you can verify that the piezo produces DC current & voltage. Here’s the part list –> Radio shack 1.0 uF metal film capacitor, part number 272-1055 Radio shack Piezo element, part number 273-073 Instructions:
Please note that your voltage meter *must* have at least 10 Mohms input resistance, otherwise the meter will drain the capacitor far to fast. Ultra cheap DMM’s often have 2 Mohm. Average DMM’s often have 10 Mohm. If your DMM is 10 Mohm, then it will drain the capacitor at a rate of 30% per 3.57 seconds. So you don’t have long to acquire the voltage. Remember, as you’re trying to read the voltage on your digital multimeter, it’s decreasing at a fast rate. So be fast! I do not recommend anything higher than 1.0 uF. Although, if you have an ultra cheap DMM that’s far less than 10 Mohm input resistance, then you can buy a Radio shack 10 uF capacitor, but this is not recommended –> Radio shack 10 uF, part number 272-1436 Of course, it will take ten times longer to charge the 10 uF capacitor. So I would wait 10 hours. After you’ve verified that the piezo has charged the capacitor, go ahead and let the piezo charge the capacitor some more. This time, wait about one hour. Note, so far the piezo has shown the same characteristics as diodes, that’s ~ three years of extensive measurements. The piezo will slowly drain of energy. This means you cannot charge the capacitor endless amounts of time. So long as you do not disturb the piezo, it should always produce DC current, where the minimum is 10 pA. Although, since your piezo will not be highly shielded like our experiments, temperature changes can greatly affect the piezo, and can even flip the polarity. So far my highly shielded piezo has been relatively stable. Once your piezo is drained and producing ~ 10 pA of DC current, remove everything from the piezo, place it inside a box (a metal box if possible), and give it awhile to recover. I have not tested how long it takes for the piezo to recover, but I’m guessing it’s around 3 weeks. Now of course the above super budget experiment is not like the ones me and scientists are doing. For example, my piezo is inside a metal shield, and the metal shield is inside ~ a thick bundle of sound insulation materials that is ~ 2 feet in diameter. You can use clothing or whatever you have to block sounds. Maybe you have a metal box around. Whatever you do, just remember to be *extremely* careful when handling the piezo element! If you place cloths or whatever on and around the piezo, do it very slowly and gently. I cannot express this enough. I mean, move very slow! Try to minimize the time in handling the piezo wires. Do not press on the piezo or apply much pressure. Last, unless your piezo is highly shield, you can expect it to fluctuate after awhile. The fluctuations is caused by temperature changes, and also it is believed to be caused by usage when loading the piezo. If you do not have DMM, then I can only recommend one, the AM-240, for $39 –> http://www.frys.com/product/5342558?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG The setup I’ve been using is the piezo (radio shack part number 273-073) inside a metal shield, two wires exit and go to the Keithley picoamp meter. The piezo has been producing 18 pA for awhile now, so I wanted to verify this. The Keithley was disconnected from the piezo. The piezo was then connected to a 4.7 uF low leakage capacitor. The capacitor was discharged. The AM-240 in 400 mV mode (tested at ~ 15 Gohm input resistance) was connected across the 4.7 uF capacitor to observe the rate at which the piezo charges the 4.7 uF capacitor. I then timed how fast the 4.7 uF capacitor was charging, which came to … 18.1 pA! After observing ~ a dozen Solar activity areas from the Suns magnetic field to the X-ray emission, along with local temperature changes here, local barometric pressure changes, and even placing a gamma & beta radioactive source (1500 CPM) right snug against the piezo has all failed to find the source of the DC current & voltage produced by the piezo. The research is getting exciting! The major problem with diodes was that they were exceptionally sensitive to external sources, which easily disturbed them. Even the slightest disturbance such as RFI or heat from the hands could disturb them. After weeks of testing the piezo element, it is conclusive that they are not sensitive like diodes. The piezo has been producing ~ 10 pA the entire time, even after being handled, touching the wires, applying external voltages from resistance meters, etc. The volume of material in the piezo is exceptionally hundreds of times greater than the typical diode, which is most likely the reason for the improved stability. It is becoming clear that the 10 pA constant is the minimum stabilized DC current from a non-disturbed component. If the component is disturbed, it produces less than 10 pA. To produce over 10 pA is simply done by allowing the undisturbed component to rest unloaded. In fact, to produce a maximum average DC power it’s probably advisable to never allow the component to reach the 1o pA level. This is accomplished by loading the component for awhile, unload it, load it, unloaded it, etc. I’ll be watching the following data to find any correlations with the current produced by the piezo –> Total Sun spot count: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/today.html http://umtof.umd.edu/pm/ Lot of live data: http://www.lmsal.com/solarsoft/latest_events/ X-ray, Proton, electron, Plasma, B-field (see links at right side of their page): Up to date Lightning strike map of USA: http://www.intellicast.com/Storm/Severe/Lightning.aspx http://thunderstorm.vaisala.com/explorer.htm Over the past day I have been viewing the Barometric pressure in the city I live in. The Barometric pressure has slowly increased and decreased many times, yet the piezo DC current/voltage has remained the same. Over the past week I have tested the Radio Shack piezo, part number 273-073, to see if the piezo current/voltage polarity is due to temperature. Although temperature obviously has an effect on the piezo, it appears that the piezo polarity is not caused by temperature or temperature gradients. I have seen on numerous occasions the temperature increase, and decrease, and the piezo voltage has remain the same polarity. Dear Friends, The following recent tragic news is Heart breaking, it just rips my Heart open. The worlds Gorillas are being slaughtered by poachers in torturous deaths. There are now a grand total of ~ 700 mountain Gorillas in the world. Thousands have been killed in the most gruesome inhumane way possible, chopping of limbs while alive, hit with massive machetes on their backs splitting open, in front of their family members & babies. The Alpha males will always defend his family at all cost! Unfortunately, the poachers kill the Alpha male. It has bec0me such a scare that everyone around the world is asked to do what they can. These countries do not have the funds to fight all of these poachers constantly. Rangers are being killed. These poachers are wiping these magnificent majestic creatures of the face of the Earth. Please consider helping in any way you can –> Adopt a Gorilla with WWF today to protect their future in the wild: Rescue Endangered Mountain Gorillas Donate Now to Help Save Lives! I don’t have hardly any money at all, but I just donated $100 to help save the very few remaining of those precious lives.

IMO that will be a difficult task, and even 0.01 watts would be a huge achievement by July 2010.
