Joule Thief

[Mk1]

i am up for your Proposition 65 ... mk1

Yes i do make many proposition , lol , 65 is most likely under shooting ...

You know what was proposition 1 ?

Adding a secondary to the joule thief 

I have studied the mag amp all day , if we have the toroid for it , i really think we could do it .

Some of those toroid from old PC power sup are chokes some are mag amp core.

So far i see using 3 toroid .

Its basically the secondary from the joule thief with a coil on a core on one side , and one on the other side . each core getting one side of the kick.
Those two additional core are wound together with a coil on each , this coil is connected to a dc source with a rheostat .

The load is connected to the open ends of the secondary with a diode.

I bridge could also be inserted between the secondary of the jt and mag amp.

This is what i got ...

well were on the s man team!

In one of your posts you said "The lamp at my bedside table has 24 leds and runs with that little amount of mA"

Could you please tell me how to measure how much mA's a Joule thief uses out of a battery, where do you put the negetive DMM-lead and where the positive DMM-lead goes
like the Joule thief you are using that has 24 led's at your bedside !  Thanks

And how do you try to use as little ammount as possible of mA's and still light so many LED's

i have been running a 12vdc motor on a aa ...

lol

keep in mind it is NOT RUNNING AT 12VDC ...  but YES IT RUNS JUST FINE ... 3.2VDC

W

my 12vdc fan motor ran 1 hour and 1 min b4 it came to a stop ! 

transistor remained ICE COLD ... battery got a tiny bit of heat! it stoped spinning at 2.3vdc !

thank you

here are some pictures ... of what i used to do this test ..  just love the name of the motor and there logo...  SUN ON  MAGNETIC LEVIATION SYSTEM! lol

SECOND PIC CAP AND MOTOR USED IN THIS TEST!

LAST PIC THE ENTIRE SETUP!   

i never tryed the super cap  yet!   : )

Your DMM needs to be in series with the positive line coming off the battery to measure amp draw.
