Internal Bulb Circuits
A quick test of an idea, thought about for some time but not implemented. It struck me that a lot of circuits are around to light household bulbs with batteries, but the circuits themselves seem to be always external. Perhaps we can move toward integrating the circuits inside bulbs and other devices, just as CFL’s carry an internal circuit at the moment. In essence, redo a 120V bulb, to run just as well at lower voltages. Perhaps even reuse some components of the original internal board, as i’ve seen Jonnydavro and some other chaps do. If a house were to run from a 12V bank of batteries, then it would make sense to run the normally mains operated lighting for a house straight from the power source, rather than through an inverter first. The inverter will waste energy no matter what it does. When out at night and just leaving a couple of lights on, does an inverter really need to be humming away ?! Bonuses for exciter circuits: The cost of each circuit can be pennies The parts are easy to find or build The wireless field could enable cellphones to charge, or power other wireless energy enabled devices to operate nearby (see WISP videos on channel, Wireless Interactive Spatial Powering). A full room of wireless energy would not be needed. It suits recycling of junk equipment. Used up bulbs gain a fresh life – the circuits seem to be what fail…my wife’s bedside CFL light faded to a dull yellow after 3 or 4 years and yet it works perfectly brightly with an exciter circuit …
