Joule Ringer!

[gadgetmall]

here is a small version using parts from dvd player C-core on a broken home dvd player circuit board . it has two windings i did not wind or modify and hooked it up just like a normal jt except put a cap across the pot legs . it will pulse at one click per second and SCREAM and make lots of noise to well over 20 hz . it light up led bulbs unmodified or just one led . it is self regulating .it won't light a cfl on 1.2 volts as is and because i dont know how many winds are on the small C-Core transformer it just lights led  efficiently . this one has been running for two days now with me playing with it and leaving it lit night and day . 1.2 volt input . named it JOULE SCREAMER.i put a small plastic"amplifier" on top of the C -core junction . that is where all the sound comes from . i can make a vid if any one want me too.It is very LOUD and Vibrates .My daughter hate the sounds because her ears can hear the highest pitch . even a dog whistle and every Jt we have made . I can't but i can hear and feel this one . .its self starting and the small cap is not hooked up . just wire a jt and put a cap across a 9 k pot

Lasersaber published a new Super Joule Ringer 3.0 Video, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcFHZMhnV2g .

I tried the new circuit where the output of the lamp is connected to the collector (in contrast to a connection to the emitter as in Super Joule Ringer 2.0).

But I could not wind the new transformer because Lasersaber has not yet published specifics of his new Ferrite rod and not yet a link to a source of his new Ferrite rod.

So, I use an old transformer which I had wound for testing the Super Joule Ringer 2.0, see the attached photos and circuit.

With this old transformer I can now also light incandescent lamps (dimly) and various CFLs and LED-lamps. But here in Europe they are all designed for 220 Volt (and not for 110 Volt as in the USofA). Therefore one needs an other set of windings. With a 60 turn primary and a 970 turn secondary I need at least 13 Volt to light various lamps. Specially lamps with a high Wattage (more than 5 Watt) need the 13 Volt to turn on reliably.

Once Lasersaber publishes specifics about his new Ferrite rod, I will try to find a winding ratio with works for a 220 Volt output.

Greetings, Conrad

P.S.: I used a 2N3055 transistor and the photo shows the circuit with a 5 Watt 220 Volt LED lamp.

P.S.: Lasersaber just published his Super Joule Ringer 3.0 http://laserhacker.com/SuperJouleRinger3.html and I will try to get a similar Ferrite rod.

I found this Ferrite rod http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180969160977 , but it will take some time till I get it.


Update:

I did some more tests and found that my power supply can not deliver more than 3 Amps. When I did tests with a 12 Volt battery I could light all 220 Volt CFLs and LED lamps I have reliably. The higher Wattage lamps draw a lot of Amps for a short time (some milliseconds) when they power up, then the power draw goes back to the specified value.

Windings on the transformer: 60 turns primary, 970 turns secondary, 1 : 16 ratio

So, the new Super Joule Ringer 3.0 circuit works well also with a transformer for the Super Joule Ringer 2.0.

The advantage of the new Ferrite rod transformer is first of all the rather low price for the rod (in comparisson to my big transformer core) and the simpler winding (handling of a rod is simpler than handling of my two part transformer which needs clamps and sticky tape to inhibit chatter).

Further Update:

The circuit swings at about 8,6 KHz.

Conrad:

Nice work.

Laser:

Great job.  This appears to be a large step forward.

Good news thank you .. I got mine in and am winding today. thank you for posting this and sharing, this Joule ringer has been on my mind for over a year now . I am still working with the original one though . I will never give up my 1.2 volt inputs supply volts though.
And i still have my theory  as to the effect of JR1 running so long . The Delay line (Cap-coil) i think is the key .

Using air core made of diletric materials and winding layers of wire and separating them with waxpaper,aluminium foil,waxpaper then repeat windings as so on . Also this delayline should have connections to each layer of foil so as to have an extra wire.. more  on that later .
