Same video as in the original post.

Thank you. But will you please stop the tired argument about the Joule Theif ?

Thank you. But will you please stop the tired argument about the Joule Theif ?

Which argument was that? The only mention of the Joule Thief in this thread that I can find is when I pointed out that all our time has been wasted on Joule Thiefs, since the schematic given was drawn in 2007.

Is that a tired argument? I fail to see your reasoning.


Perhaps YOU can tell me why, since the schematic has been known since 2007, there have been exactly zero replications of this circuit that perform as the video shows? And just what that argument has to do with Joule Thiefs?

That video was made in May 2013 and I'd venture to say it was not made in 2007 or earlier. And further did NOT follow that schematic for the simple reason that there is no percievable airgap from the video !! Thank you for not bringing up the Joule Thief picture in this thread.

Just watched the video again. There appears to be aluminum foil covering the coils at the middle of bobbin. Can that be construed as capacitive coupling ? Interesting ....
