This post will show you how to tap into a FREE source of electricity! All you need is a phone line! All phone lines have a constant flow of voltage, around 40-70 volts (up to 100 volts when it rings!), but you can't just plug stuff into it and expect it to work. You can really mess with your phone system by doing that. I discovered how to do it the right way!




You Will Need :


  • Small project enclosure 
  • 240ohm resistor 
  • 510ohm resistor 
  • LM317L Regulator 
  • KBP210 Bridge Rectifier 
  • Phone line cables 

Process :

I connected the Positive end to one line of the female phone jack and the negative to the other. You could wire it directly to your light but I chose to do it this way so I could test other sources with just a phone jack interface cable. The Red and Green go to corresponding colors on the phone line that plugs into the wall.




Mount the circuit in the project box and run your wires through two small drilled holes. Be sure to tie knots in the wires inside the box to prevent them from pulling out.




I made an interface cable from an old wall adapter and phone line to connect the light to the box.




After wiring the LED's in parallel, I plugged everything in and it worked great! It even powered off when the phone was picked up and flashed when it rang. While this won't power your new 60" HD Plasma TV, it will power small amperage electronics and could come in handy if the power goes out! Enjoy your FREE source of power.
