Maybe some NEW info?

https://www.answers.com/Q/How_many_lumen_are_in_1_Joule

683 Lumen = 1 Joule per Second
1 Lumen = 1/683 Joule per Second  or approximately 0.001567 joule per second
1 joule per second = 1 watt

other conversion software sites give the conversion as

0.01 watt per lumen ?

What ever the output (large or small)...

If "conventional" inputs have been eliminated as a source ...
You have some thing here...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Joule thief "had to be" rewired to make sense in a conventional way.

I have always suspected that, that was its ruination.

Please keep expoloring this smOKy2 and keep us posted

Not sure the accuracy of that site.


Here are my experimental results: (using 13 lumen flames)


13 Lumens (through photovoltaic conversion) provides
0.4V @ 205ma
or about 80mW/s

0.01 seems pretty close

Now: solar panel can only convert some % of the energy of the photons
So the real experimental value is much higher.


Also - my Lumens were measured by CandlePower as was performed in the old days
many new experiments use some LED-based Lumen equivalent.
Real flame having more fluctuations, and a higher photon energy density


I confirmed this research by testing 30 Lumen flames and 30 Lumen flashlights
Flames give about 20-30% more current at ~ the same voltage
LED's provide a more consistent light source


I have brought a duplicate circuit with me to St Louis, i will be testing this location soon
To see if the conditions can be recreated here 1000+ miles away.

That is taking it a bit too far!

Nigel showed us this works in Croatia,
I have replicated it in Texas,
And now also St. Louis
Its' probably safe to say this will work anywhere
