I don't normally buy into something like this but given the source is from Joel Lambert - former Navy SEAL, host of Discovery Channel's Manhunt there might be something to it. I've got too many high priority projects to dig into this but full directions are given below. No pictures available but there is a rather complete detailed set of directions and items needed to complete what appears to be a Free energy generator that can power a light bulb. Here is the info:
It comes as a surprise to some, but the combination of magnets and spark plugs will generate electricity strong
enough to power a light bulb. Even more surprisingly, it will generate that electricity 24/7/365. The power is
constant and the only thing to do is replace the light bulb when it eventually burns out.
It’s All About Electromagnetic Induction
The concept of electromagnetic induction was first discovered by Michael Faraday in the 19th century. The magnetic field from the magnets induces an electric current in the spark
plugs, generating electricity. There is no external power source needed, and the combination is compact, portable and inexpensive.
Consider the Possibilities
This is a great way to light a remote outbuilding like a chicken coop, shed, barn or even an outdoor area requiring
light. You can add an on/off switch to the circuit if you like, but when the electricity is free, that’s less of an issue.
It’s also great for remote areas in an attic, basement, or garage where an electrical outlet is unavailable or used by
other appliances. Linen closets, cupboards, storage rooms and other spaces that may not even be wired for
electricity are also well served by a perpetual and free source of power.
It’s also an excellent option following a disaster, camping trips, power outages, or any other time you require
electricity but don’t have the fuel or the power for it.
It’s Inexpensive and Easy
The total cost for materials is around $20 and the whole project should take less than a couple of hours. We’ll go
step by step through the process and talk about options for use beyond lighting.
You could also cannibalize an old motor from an appliance for parts. Most have lots of copper wire and even
magnets to power their motors, although neodymium magnets work best. That would mean you only need to buy
the spark plugs unless you have a way to salvage them.
Building a Pocket-Size Generator
As we mentioned, it’s possible you may have some of these materials around your home or homestead, which will
save you even more. Here’s the list for tools and materials:
Tools
Wire stripper
Needle-nose pliers.
Glue gun
Glue sticks
Soldering iron
Solder
Soldering paste (flux)
Materials:
2 large neodymium magnets, ½ inch thick and 3 inches in diameter (you can buy them online)
4 spark plugs (any type and any size as long as they’re all the same)
3 feet of 8-gauge white wire
1 foot of 14-gauge copper wire
Wired lightbulb socket
Lightbulb
Screw-in outlet plug (optional)
Black electrical tape
Liquid electrical tape
Directions:
1. Use your hot glue gun to glue the 4 sparkplugs into a block of four. Apply the glue to the hexagonal metal ridge.
2. Make sure that the curve in the gap is facing in the same direction on the first two spark plugs.
3. Continue to apply the glue on the hexagons until the four sparkplugs are glued into a tight block of 4.
4. Again. Make sure that the curve in the gaps are pointing towards each other.
5. Check for any need for more hot glue to create a tight lockup.
6. Continue to carefully apply glue to cement all four of the sparks plugs together.
7. Cut a short length of plastic tubing or other round shape that will fit into the gap formed by the screw end of the
spark plug. The only purpose for this snug-fitting tube is to provide some support for the ends of the spark plugs
when you wind wire around all four of the plug ends.
8. Glue the spacer in place within the gap.
9. Put a dab of hot glue on the top of the spark plug assembly and glue your white, #8 wire, leaving about two
inches of overhang.
10. You’ll later strip the end of this wire, or you can strip it about 2 inches before glueing and wrapping.
11. Wrap the white #8 wire around the 4 spark plugs in tight, concentric circles.
12. Wind the wire to the top of the spark plugs at the gap end of the plugs and strip both ends of the wire. You
could also add hot glue to hold the wires in place around the plugs.
13. You then use needle-nose pliers to fold the exposed copper ends over the spark plug gaps.
14. Solder the exposed copper wire across the spark plugs on both sides.
15. Wrap the stripped piece of #14 copper wire around the top end of the spark plugs.
16. Solder to each one of the plugs tops, forming a complete and soldered circle.
17. Solder the light bulb socket wires to the top and the bottom wire, bridging the spark plugs at the bottom.
18. You now have the basic engine assembled for your pocket generator.
19. Before assembling your pocket generator, it may be wise to cover any exposed copper wires. The wires will
have an electric charge, and this will avoid a shock. One good solution is a liquid electrical tape.
20. Apply the liquid electrical tape to all exposed copper at the top and bottom of the plug assembly.
21. The basic assembly is now complete once the liquid electric tape dries.
22. One last step is to wrap the plug assembly with black electrical tape.
23. And you’re now ready to glue the magnets to the plug assembly.
24. Start by applying some hot glue to the magnet and place the plug assembly on top.
25. Place the other neodymium magnet on top and the bulb will illuminate.
Beyond the light bulbs
Your portable pocket generator can do more than provide light. What it can power depends on the wattage and
voltage you’re generating, which will depend on the number of spark plugs you use and the strength of the
magnets. Neodymium magnets are best, although all magnets will give you varying levels of results.
A critical component is a screw in an electrical socket. That will make it easy to plug in most appliances.
Here are some other possible uses for your portable generator:
Power the heat for a chicken water device in a chicken coop in winter to prevent freezing.
Run a small water pump for perpetual water flow from a lake, creek, or river to anywhere you need it.
Run an insect zapper in a remote location.
Power small ventilation fans for a coop, stye or other outbuildings for non-stop ventilation.
Permanently power an audible perimeter alarm that is motion-activated and some distance from your home or homestead.
Scaling Up Your Portable Generator
A great way to assess the power of your portable generator is with a voltmeter. It can measure volts, watts and
amps depending on the setting. To increase the power, you can add more sparkplugs, more magnets or connect
more than one portable generator. Measure the output and you can continue until you have the power you need for
a particular appliance or application.
