+pedro fraga (Pauli 111) i see what you did there
+pedro fraga (Pauli 111) Use this one "Weird" trick to get ripped!
lol
I tried this but I think I got some wires crossed over, now the telephone lights up and I have to use the lamp to make telephone calls :/
Jajaja nice one
lol
LOL
SO FUNNY
lol.
Seth C ...love humor...!
I remember this video back when it was new. And now nobody even has a land lines lol
Except grandparents
I used a 48v power inverter on mine and it powered my air conditioner. Worked great till i got my phone bill for the month.
Really? :D
+Bionerfer That wouldn't work, David's just messing with you.
And if you tried, they wouldn't put it on your phone bill, they'd either not notice (if you only used a tiny bit of power) or cut you off (if it starts causing problems).
You can use this same basic concept to tap into the free power at the top of telephone poles... next video "Free Hidden Fuel In 7-11 Storage Tanks".
Lol
duncanscast haha
losepoundsandinches lol
😂😂😂 although you might light up like a Christmas tree
I haven't had a landline phone since 2009.
The video was made in 2008 pal.
Yet your name is Max POWER
GMax Power i
But there is still power in the phone lines.
@EthanF44 Dang, I'd love to have one again, the audio was so clear...
Wow no one here from 2021 just reminiscing about the good ole days of TH-cam and the internet in general
Same
What's really funny about this video is that he has a wireless handset.. which doesn't work when the power goes out. :P
That's not how it works... The wireless handset has its own battery...
@@numberwhite7082 the base needs power which is powered by 120 volt outlets not from the phone meaning when the power is out it wont work
Hi dandymcgee you have 300 subs and you are still alive !
Even though I will never actually go out and buy the stuff to do this, I just love watching these videos you're a genius
Anarchist Cookbook... 10 years ago. This is also featured in "phreaker" publications. Also, did you know that the voltage changes when someone answers the phone? Using old blueprints, you can build a device that gives you free calls, because the voltage doesn't change... and only reports that the phone is still ringing, when in fact, you (or the other party) has answered it?
I used "FREE Hidden Electricity!" from phone line during siege of Sarajevo for powering fm radio
badass
This is AMAZING. I have had 24 telephone lines installed and as long as I keep paying the rental I can run a small toaster for FREE.
Phone companies HATE them!
Learn their secrets today!
IVE WACHED A BUNCH OF PORN IN MY TIMES AND IVE SEEN THAT QUOTE POP UP TOO MUCH ONLINE ,YOU JUST MADE MY DAY LOL
I use my telephone line for all of my electrical needs and I use my home electrical outlet to make phone calls...I'm scamming everyone!
This is brilliant, I would imagine you can also use a step up converter to bring the volts up to 120-240. I'll also have to look up how much Amps these wires run on..
a few milliamps
I like the flashing light, so deaf people can now enjoy using the phone......
Oh, wait....LOL
As someone who is hearing impaired, this joke is both in very bad and very good taste.
A friendly note to those who want to do this in 2015 (or later): Check with your phone company if they aren't going to shut the old phone lines down in the nearest time. A repairman told me that these old phone lines are going to work for about two years, then we're going to have to plug our phones straight into our modems (or switch to cell phones already). YMMV depending on where you live, of course.
Seven years later and still good advice. Nice
October 24 2022 Still Watching
Yes, the phone lines provide a voltage separate from your mains power. This is of course assuming you have a working phone line (like, paid the phone company), and that the power lines and phone lines are independent, as often the run next to each other, and if one is out, often so is the other. Also, what powers your phone lines?
The problem comes from "free electricity". Its not electricity. That makes it sound like you could charge your iPhone or run an appliance through it. No, you can't. The only thing it will power are old phones, and small circuits like LED's, but really, using an LED torch would be more effective, cheaper, safer, and more useful as its mobile. You can't exactly draw much current out of it, so nobody is really trying to hide anything from you because there is nothing to hide.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong with your device, and to short circuit anything, you could easily cause a fire, lose your phone line, or make the telco company very unhappy. Just don't mess with it.
there is another problem, is the comsumption is higher than just some leds, it will count as a PHONE IS PICKUP status!, so the real phone don't works anymore.
flyguille Legally, technically, if there are any led's, the set should have an external power adapter for it. The power the phone co makes, is for voice (and when a call comes in, for the ringer) use only. One is ~48vdc, the other in ~115vac interrupted current. It lets you get free if you are working on a line when it rings. My very first pro telephone job, I was zapped real good while grounded on a wet rock wall that I was sitting on. It took me a good half hour to feel okay again. And it would not be the last of many zaps.
ps, I think that is how I will go, zapped somehow.
Free hidden electricity from your wall...
No the cosmic frame will see the spike in power use and send a friendly telephone cop over to visit you, which The good Doctor Johnny Fever was paranoid about. They are out there.
Minecraft OFP857 morning
In the Uk if Bt find you doing this they will prosecute and cut your phone off.
Virgin Media you're fine.
They have there own line.
Talk Talk, Sky, BT, Plusnet, and some more are all using BT
Why do you care??
I won't do it so really I don't care but anyone here who does WILL be prosecuted - Bt can tell the line is being loaded.
+ you stand a good chance of degrading your neighbours telephone/broadband connection -
We live in a society where being responsible is expected otherwise we have anarchy.
Ahhh good old kipkay videos
That is so amazing. I never thought that it could be possible to do this!
Now my tv is a phone and my phone is a tv
The phone line costs more than the energy it supplies. It's about economics, physics, the Matrix!.
If I may ask, How did you calculate the correct resistance for the resistors? Also, Could you replace one of the resistors with a pot to make a variable power output? If you could, what resistance would you recommend? Thanks!
Had a T1 copper internet line back in the day that would shock the hell out of you. Definitely had some current to it.
Thanks Guy's, I got carried away!! The standard grid-tie inverter, though it uses less than the telephone company 48volts, still needs a certain amount of amperage to go with that voltage to get it up to the rated wattage. Thanks for bringing me back down to earth! LOL !!
Yes this is Illegal in the UK. They can tell when you use that source. But I think the idea of the video is more about showing you how you can understand electricity and circuits. He teaches you basic skills and shows you uses for said skills. I don't think Kip would advise anyone to break the law. But understanding how something works is good knowledge you can build on later.
can't supervise an analog phone circuit dingus!
emagin3 They certainly Can monitor the power on your old telephone line. Unless you are behind a step switch,,, which I very much doubt even any forth world nation is using these days.
This was one of the oldest phone co thefts and they know how to catch you, it's called a multimeter.
If you just want knowledge,,, you can 'dial' any other number just by shorting the two wires in a regular pattern to simulate the 'make-break' relays into thinking a real dial is being used. I've done it many times because I could and I may have been a little bored staring at a panel. Just pause a little bit between the numbers dialed. As long as the switch your telephone is connected to recognizes pulse dialing this will work. Oh, if you do not have an actual phone or a test set on the line, you will need to finish your dialing by keeping the two wires connected.
your secret source of going to jail!!
If you're in the UK. It's not illegal in the U.S.
Your Mind But it is very illegal in the USSA. Generally 48vdc through to 52vdc is the normal standing power on any given telephone line. They send regular 110vAC through when your line rings in that normal ringing burst pattern. But connecting ANY other thing to a telephone line that is not FCC designed for a telephone line is power theft on a *Federal* law breaking level. A former Telecommunications engineering tech, College educated to be one too.
You know it Jay,,, but at least it will be in much better housing than the local jail or a state prison offers their guests. The Feds have plenty for their guests happiness.
Your Mind you're
James Gebhard No. It's "your". Learn grammar please.
They are normally backed up with lead acid batteries, but they're not in those tiny green boxes. Some of the larger cabinets or vaults might have a battery though, but only as backup in case the power goes out.
sooo coool Kip Kay!
Whats funny is when the power goes out that phone he's using will be useless, Its a CORDLESS phone which requires power at the base to operate!
years ago before cell phones came about public phone booths had a hidden 120v outlet you could plug a truck block heater in when you parked by them.
Saw this in a banned book. Glad someone actually tried it. Epic.
Nice video! One of the only video's to fullscreen on my iPad
potato ikr
Now all you need is a land line!!! LOL!!!!!!!!
there is electricty in a phone outlet. I once shocked the shit outa myself with a phone cord
+strocat25 You probably were touching the wires when someone was trying to call that number which would have put a 90Vac 20Hz voltage on the line which is for the ringer in the phone.
I jotted that circuit down for hurricane season... Thanks!
great videos thanks kipkay
What would happen if you hooked this up to a battery bank so it was charging car batterys 24/7? Basically like a battery bank for solar panels, but with the telephone jack for "power in" instead of PV panels. Would this be able to charge them up in a reasonable amount of time? or is the power so low that it would take too long to make it worth while.
If you could get enough power to run a laptop for a few hours before draining the battery's, and then had to wait a day for them to recharge up again, it wouldn't be a bad little set up. Or possibly to power your lighting in your house at night time, as long as everything is LED and you don't have 5 million lights.
Theoretically possible, yes ;-)
too bad i havent had a land line for about 10 years now
every house has one. the power is always running. no matter if you have a phone.
Mine doesn't, my dad came over to help with yard work and cut ours with a weed wacker. I thought it was thicker so I didn't warn him. We have charter internet and magic jack so there was no difference.
+Harrison Wilbanks With Verizon FiOS it's powered by your home power. when power goes out, it will use your backup battery if you got that option.
How can you deal with data cap then?
@@Mi_Fa_Volare What's that? I barely use it. Got a few photos on it. Text and talk once in a while. That's about it when u don't have a life.
I really like your Ideals this one looks a little complicated though Ill keep watching thanks.
So all I have to do is get 100 phone lines installed in my house. Take that Illuminati!
40-55VDC idle. 90VAC ring down. Kapow...
Discovered during a power outage. Had an old rotary phone, noticed it had a dial tone...I put a voltmeter on it, and voila, flashlight!
phone CENTRALS has batteries, and power generators in case of power outage, that is the reason.
flyguille
???
waterlubber sorry, edited
flyguille
Oh, alright. I just thought they were on a different grid.
well, if it is localized power outage, and the central is far enough it is a possibility.
Just noting here (part of another conversation I picked up on it) that the circuit design you are using here will likely damage the 317 chip. According to the specifications of the chip itself, the maximum allowance for differential (input to output voltage) is 40V. The design above...you have R1 and R2 mixed up relative to the proper circuit design specs of the 317...though that isn't an issue...the variable above is R1...but the design specs show R2 as the resistor variable that adjusts the output relative to input...that said...maximum voltage differential is pretty clear in the spec sheet...exceed it, you run the risk of destroying the chip itself as a result. The design above will yield (if I follow the spec sheet) roughly 4VDC as an output. Your example above would yield a rough 2VDC output. Since your input voltage after the rectifier chip could be anywhere from 50V to 100V (ring events double that lower voltage level typically)...you are easily exceeding the differential allowance of 40V...any appreciable load could potentially overload the circuit and cause a cascade failure of the device itself. Even doubling your output voltage will yield similar problems. Alternatively, you could place a resistance load in parallel with the rectifier DC output voltage to drop it to a better workable range for the device. Do not place a load on the AC input side of the rectifier...it will cause significant load on the phone line.
See the following link...it also contains the data sheet from whence I got the I/O differential specification.
www.electronics-lab.com/articles/LM317/
Also, note the capacitors...those are there for noise elimination...VERY important detail on a line that is used for data....the noise generated on the above example...the LED light will be somewhat limited in its noise output...but other devices like low power radios for example, will spit their noise right through to the source and possibly interfere with your DSL signals, degrading performance dramatically due to line noise presence.
I'm pretty sure a rectifier in series with a regulator functions like a relay, therefore preventing the light from interfering with your phones.
i bet i could produce more electric power using a dynamo from a bicycle
Sure would be tiring, though.
I assume this does not work if you're not being served by the phone company?
correct
Check the voltage in your phone box.
If your primary service is a cell phone or VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), but you have old phone lines in your home, test for voltage in your land line connection box. I don't know about any where else (I don't even know about here in New Brunswick, Canada yet) but I know that in Ontario, Canada (where I'm from) we used to be able to plug in a phone and make a local phone call out. They did that in case you needed to call for emergency help. I don't know if they still do, but they did.
I'm amazed that this circuit works at all, because I've never seen an LM317 wired like that before. Provided the pinout is standard (nice job not showing which way it's supposed to go, by the way), VOut and Adj are wired together with resistors with the actual output in between. It may work, but it's a nonstandard way of wiring it. Perhaps an electronics tech or EE could shed light on this?
Thank you!
We dropped phone line service because we all have cell phones, and it still works
+QQQQQQQQQQQQQQLOLTHATISLONG well yeah, it HAS to stay up no matter what because it is the law that any phone company make 911 calls FREE, so this is how they allow the 911 call through
+ender_scythe Not in the UK. If you have no service provider for your phone line, and/or the power is off, there is no way to make an emergency call from the landline.
looks like a good way to burn your house down to me
OMG when you said 'when the phone rings' my phone rang!!
As far as I know in the UK this is illegal. Thats why you cordless phone base station still has a AC power supply.
no it's because its wireless and needs power to transmit. A corded phone works off the power from the phone line. There just isnt much power in the line...
How much current can you draw?
+Yextus That was my question too. Not sure - probably not very much since a phone wouldn't draw much.
+Yextus Probably not even a full amp considering those tiny wires
+FullFledged2010 yeah, but if you grabbed it from the input to your house rather than the port you don't have to worry about that
Good point^^
Alex Reents
You don't believe me?
Get a multimeter and test it yourself.
You will find that the voltage of a landline in the USA is around 48 volts.
You are the fool!
i keep a old regular touch tone phone handy for when power goes out.as long as lines are not down it works.may not want to use it in a lightning storm.
OMG THANK YOU!!!! One of these have been sitting in my house that I've been living in for the past 5 years!!! NOW I CAN CHARGE MY IPHONE!!
I wonder if I can have my computer running on this source
HA thats funny -_- ofcourse not
You could probably run a small laptop with this.
Karl Is-Karl Hopefully, you'll have charged your laptop enough to reply saying that your phone line has melted.
Nah, I'm replying from my phone which is charging from my phone line after multiple failed attempts of getting my laptop to do it.
Yea you probably can, don’t know about the amps.
Could you make this run a USB device?
Almost certainly not - the current flowing through the lines is only about 100mA. By comparison, the standard for power over USB is 5V @ >=500mA, and many devices require upwards of 2A to charge.
POTS phone lines aren't really used now a days. VoiceoverIP has became more popular in the last decade. Since the late 2000s my family's cable company provided us with a VoiceoverIP system which has backup battery.
I knew that already...
The voltage of phone line changes from 12 to 8 volts when the phone bell rings.
and also normally, when receiver is removed, the phone line voltage is from 6-7 volts...
:)
In Lebanon this would be very useful. The electricity goes out for 6 hours, and comes back for 6 hours. But sadly, the phone company doesn't support that :(
Couldn't you just use a bridge rectifier circuit with a few capacitors and a 5 volt voltage regulator to make it power a female USB plug?
Bridge rectifiers don't use capacitors. They use four diodes. Regulator is a good idea though. Personally, I'd try to ballast it with a lead-acid battery for a smoother current output.
I would smooth out the rectified output with capacitors, But would the regulator be able to handle the 120-200 volt dc peak of when the phone rings?
its good that yu doing these videos to helpp people save money im impressed
If you have a cable modem connected to it either put batteries in it or tap into your old phone lines.
I had 600'000'000'000 volts hidden in my phone
-_-
Are you 5 years old?
Are you crazy? A three year old wouldn't have an iphone.... they would have an ipad. This is clearly a 4 year old.
Kenny Bevan ***** Jomago Thanks for keeping me awake XDD
If your using internet over DSL, prolonged usage of this might degrade your phone cables therefore slowing down your internet. This is especially a problem if you live in newer suburbs of Australia were the wire gauge is quite thin.
I bet there's safety mechanisms to prevent wire overloads.
If there wasn't, any guy would be able to burn out entire phonelines by shorting the wires. Shorting wires also happen by accident, which leads to extremely high currents to pass.
there are, but there can be faulty equipment. I actually had a line fault a while ago caused by my ISP because of rain. It caused me to loose about 5% of my internet speed permanently.
petypoopoo
Sure, but does this unauthorized usage actually degrade the cables? I'm not so sure about that...
it would probably be minor, but still it is loss it can be bad.
Dont listen to petypoopoo, he is lying
Ahh I see. Cheers mate
Nice man!!!
I like free electricity!!!
Enjoy powering your land line phone or some LED's because thats all you can really get from it.
I am not talking aboute this
Can we charge a phone ?
yep
That awkward moment when the phone company visits your house.
It's good for an emergency, but it's probably more expensive to do this, in equipment prices, than just plugging that LED lamp to your normal outlet and paying for the electricity. :p
is this legal?????
i have fiber. o well
Faster electricity!!
DrNapalm It can't be any faster if the local converter is dead.
I really dig it! Is there any way you could post a diy video for a "phone jack to 5V usb(female usb?)" so devices could be charged? Thanks for considering.
I had a home phone that didn't have a power cable. So now I know how it worked.
How many amps?
+Wayne Workman a few mA, enough for an LED but not really a lot.
Sure it powers a small led light, but won't power a 2500 watt Oil filled Electric radiator to heat my home. So pointless really. Unless you are really stingy about paying a tiny electric bill for burning an led lamp which equals pennies a year.
+Jason Thomas Dolan But it is useful when your house was cut from power for some reason
Thank you i did it too and it worked you are awesome
If it were me I would not use the regulator and instead use a buck converter which will allow more current to be drawn by the load.
The only other thing I would add after the regulator is a couple zener diodes to prevent the 90 volt ringing signal from damaging the buck converter if it cannot handle 90 volts.
if you can hook up a 12v USB charger should that be grate
Does anyone actually have a regular phone today ? between cell phone and VOIP like Vonage . I can't believe the phone company is still in business ?
+Steve Cea Many people don't have a home phone, but they have DSL, which runs over the phone-line infrastructures. So you have the same thing.
Even many disconnected subscribers may still have a dial tone, which allows only to dial 9-1-1 (so the power trick will work).
+Peter Piper I have cell phones, and VOIP home phone , no hard wired home phone anymore
+Peter Piper my phone costs per month ( viop home phone is ZERO per month )I have Ooma home phone service , FREE BABY !!!
Here in italy 90% phone lines use copper. We don't have coaxial lines, but DSL; 70% users have an ADSL with RTG phone (analog line), the result is most people have power in phone socket. Anyways, some wholesale ADSLs and quite all VDSL lines use DSL signal but don't offer RTG phone, instead they feature VOIP phone (the phone is connected to the internet by the modem), so there isn't voltage in phone line (DSL cables are live because they have to make phones work, the DSL signal does not require voltage to be transmitted; VDSL lines or Digital ADSL lines carry only signal, the phone is connected to the modem, which transmits him power)
@Anthman46 Awesome! I will definitely be using this if Irene knocks the power out for several days. Thank you!
hehe when it zoomed in on the phone... my IRL phone rang :D
I've tried this before, and our landline phone stopped being able to receive calls. This was probably because you can't get much current at all through the phone line, and it ended up cutting the power to the other ports in the house.
gunna be useing this when the hurricane hits
Go onto your neighbor's balcony.
Find a plug.
FREE ELECTRICITY! ;)
Video is dang awesome
@Samo484 depends on led rating mostly led can also work when you conect your cell phone battery
no. the exchanges near me are big buildings with massive generators inside them, within there is a massive box with phone lines coming out of it and spread to the houses via the ground.. (yes i dont live in an area with fiber optic phone line). and that my friend is powered by the main power lines... so no, they do not run on batteries lol
thank god I can charge my vape in an emergency
YOUR A LEGEND A LEGEND LEGEND
Free power, at the expense of someone else.
good question.
Wish me well?? Lol, you're gonna need all the help you can get!!
Just used this method to charge my cell phone.... I had to slightly modify the schematic and use different parts, but i got it working! my version provides a usb charger, 10 volt output and 12 volt output.
I figure it could be useful with the impending hurricane.
