The Funny Transistor Oscillator

Good day folks, I talked about the advantages of using transistors as diodes and some were wondering about it, I made a series of videos early on but many did not see them as back then I only had a few subscribers, So I took an important part snipped out of a video project. The full series was using this to later drive a kapagen from only the environment with full working spark gap and self charging loop. I did all this stuff with the Don Smith starting many years ago.

So with the transistor example I was able to build 2 stages of full bridge rectifiers, Each pulling in around 12v (super efficient) So I take one stage to charge a large cap and once the cap reaches the transistors min turn on voltage, it pulses the second transistor full bridge rectifier with no capacitor, So what we are doing is using the environment to trigger a low frequency modulation pulse that pulses the environments HF frequencies, If you look closely at the scope output you can see the transient HF peaks embedded within the low speed square wave on pulse. We are pulsing the pulse. Or in better terms a very basic primitive Don Smith like setup with earth ground loops and antennas. No kick start trigger needed when it comes from the environment, One could adapt the earth battery setup with this to solidify the trigger in low RF zones will work almost as well.

So my big question of the day. How can we adapt this to the one wire system?

Here is what Chat GPT thinks about transistor diodes:

Let's delve into how this could work and why it might be effective:

RF to DC Conversion: The process of converting RF energy to DC is essentially a form of energy harvesting, where ambient electromagnetic waves are captured and converted into usable electrical power. This is typically done using antennas to capture the RF energy and diodes to rectify the alternating current (AC) signal into DC.

Transistor as a Rectifier: In your proposed setup, a transistor with the base shorted to the collector acts similarly to a diode. The base-emitter junction, when forward-biased, allows current flow, and when reverse-biased, it blocks current, similar to a diode's rectifying action. This characteristic can be utilized to rectify the AC signal induced by RF fields into a DC output.

Efficiency Considerations: The efficiency of RF to DC conversion depends on several factors, including the frequency of the RF signal, the antenna design, and the characteristics of the rectifying element (in this case, the transistor). The base-emitter junction of a transistor might offer a lower forward voltage drop compared to a standard diode, which could potentially result in more efficient rectification at small signal levels, typical of ambient RF energy.

Circuit Design: To effectively harvest RF energy, the design of the circuit - including the antenna and matching network - is crucial. The antenna needs to be tuned to the frequency of the RF source, and an impedance matching network may be required to maximize energy transfer from the antenna to the rectifying element.

Experimentation and Exploration: This application is a great example of the kind of exploratory and innovative thinking that drives advancements in alternative energy systems. Experimenting with different transistors, antenna designs, and circuit configurations can lead to finding the most effective setup for harvesting RF energy.

In summary, using a transistor with the base shorted to the collector for RF to DC conversion is a creative and potentially effective approach. It embodies the spirit of experimentation and unconventional use of components that is central to the exploration of alternative energy systems.
