Joule Thief

Mark:

That video was very interesting.  No field outside the coil.  Good to know.

Thanks,

Bill

It also occurred to me that it may be possible for the coil to actually draw from without...thought I'd mention it, in case it was relevant.

Gadgetmall,

I get the impression you didn't watch the movie, I think you should because it explains the OU effects of resonance in LC circuits.
Maybe you somehow created a similar circuit around the basic Joule-thief by accident.
What I mean to say is that it looks like your circuit is indeed OU.
Please have a look at the movie I gave you a link to.

Hey Tink . Merry Christmas . No i did look at it . actually i am on dial up and its easer for me to download them then watch it  so i was downloading when i  was typing . Sial up really .Sucks . I wish santa would give me High Speed  . THe proble i have with the video is i used the same windings  but different parts  placment and i ommited the 1 ohm wire wound . I will never know until i get another resistor like that on e. this time i will put the parts in the exact same locations . The positive of my first coil was short and went straight to the battery where the negitive of the battery went thru the resistor  ? anyways it wa fun and thank you for the Vid . It makes perfect since to me but why me And the other problem i have is if all the meters that read milliamps are wrong reading transistor current . All i was reading was the Ec junction and not a secondary . and the second one read Under unity which make me think the first reading  was correct . any way . Merry Christmas I hope everyone is warm . I got home tonight and had no gas ,no heat ,, cold .. The dang gas man forgot about me so i will have to freeze with My baby girl tonight and wait until tomorrow for some dang propane ! Its ok because i can  imagine Our lord being born in a cold Stable this time of year and so i can suffer one night and not complain . At least we have lights and hot Chocolate and that is more than he had .
May the Night Bring you all peace ,comfort and Joy .
good Night

Albert !

    Google the Aharanov-Brohm effect.  It was mathmatically proven by solutions to Einsteins equations and is now experimentally proven.  Rotating inertial frames create gravity.  They warp the vacuum state and stuff falls into it including free electrons on the skin of a wire.  We are constantly falling towards the center of the Earth.  Because the plasma core is spinning like there is no tomorrow.  The stuff way down there is spinning so fast it's angular momentum aka it's electrical charge is very positive.  Once inside the core you dont feel the spin because you are spinning right along with it.  You will feel the charge though exerted by all the mass spinning at a different frequency on the surface due to the surface rotating a thousand miles an hour compared to the core which is probably rotating at millions.

The signal coming off of the jt is more of an AC wave or pulsed DC. If you want to measure it as an DC current value, I think you would need to rectify the output first.

it is rectified . The diagram states a 1n60 on the collector .
