it's working?!!!!!

pree5, very nice work on the .gif's for schematics.  Have you had this running for any measured amount of time?

  Escuse me guys...
      @ Conradelectro and All:
     I have taken the time to test the battery swap idea, long enough to see that for my Jt set up, it's was not going to run the leds very bright for long before the input volts are under 1 volt and the other battery stops being charged, at all.  If using more than one led, it becomes a proportionally even shorter run time.
  Watching to see how long a weak red led light holds up is also pretty boring.  But they do become useful friends at night.  I use at least three of them (Jts) every night as night lights, and would love to see them last a month or more by just flipping a toggle switch on each one everyday.
   If anyone has been able to run Several Leds,  Brightly, (3 or more), not barely lit,  off of a single AA battery (or a pair of them) for a month, or more, by swapping batteries, please let us know. 
I for one would be glad to hear about it.

Conrad and NickZ:

It is not hard to make a basic JT circuit that will run a decent LED and take the battery down to .2 volts.  Almost all of my hand made JT's will do that.  If yours quits at 1 volt Nick and Conrad's at .65 volts, there is some room for improvement there.  What transistors are you guys using?  That is the key to going down to a very low input.

My larger Bedini motor still charges and runs my batteries after about 1 year or more.  I have not tried any of the charging circuits on this topic yet.

@Bill:

For low voltage and low power Joule Thiefs I use the transistor BC547B. Could you please tell as a better one, possibly a transistor which turns on with 0.2 Volt at the base?

I would also like to see a good specification of your "larger Bedini motor which charges your batteries for a year or more"? May be you can download the specs into the download area of this forum? There is endless information about Bedini motors, but details are almost never published. Specially the parameters of the coil and the magnets are hard to come by. Also the circuits often leave lots of questions open. I suspect that the builders do not want to spend the hours necessary to document something comprehensibly.

You are preaching about something you know nothing about.
You are saying Skywatcher is wrong and your version of reality is right.
You COMPLETELY missed Skywatchers point.
I guess if you have no understanding of focusing on love I guess you would need to believe that using fear to control people is required

Quite arrogant of you to tell me about gods love. Major audacity telling me I know nothing about it. Spare the rod spoil the child. Now tell God he was wrong about that. I missed nothing but you did. I understood what skywatcher said. It only applys to this physical world to a point. Jesus said he didnt come into this world to bring peace but brought a sword. That sword is the word. This is the reality of the world. Every knee will bow and say I am God. Hes the Supreme "being". Head man in charge. Go ahead and screw up and make his day! Look at the pain he put on Jesus.
