Bottle Cap Wireless – Simple system

Running with the idea of simple implementations for wireless electricity – here is Bottle Cap Wireless. A normally thrown away water bottle cap is used as the basis for the system. The transistor sits underneath. 10 turns of 30 gauge wire are wound on the cap as a single close layer, starting at the top and they end in the middle of the cap height. Then some wire is pulled out and twizzled. The coil is completed with another 10 winds in the same direction as the top 10, such that the coil finishes at the bottom of the cap. Best to use something like Fix-All glue as the turns are made. The middle twizzle connects to the Positive of an AAA battery. The other two wires of the coil connect to the Base and Collector of the transistor. The Emitter of the transistor connects to the Negative of the battery. That’s it ! Receiving coils can be varied and are demonstrated in the video. Current used is approx 20mA. Other plastic bottle caps can be used. Multiple LED’s can be lit, if using say the small ferrite piece as first shown. Fully built setups, with a couple of LED receiving coils and including the battery holder may be available on my website, depending on response. Address is thortzenergy.t15.org
