but they like to blow up

i went through bout 400 bucks worth ...   in a weekend ..

lol

then i got her working fine

but i only need 1 coil ...

lol

still a  JT! 
just a bit better ...  then you need an oscolator to lock the freq... 
or a freq genny... 

less ya jt the gate .. to 30vdc and run the fet wide open ... 

then she gonna bang!

: )

then use 12vdc source ...  few amp ...  now you gotts your self  a tpu!

the jt is the osocolator .. then turn the  dial  till it ringggs ..

then you can go ahead and add the 3rd freq ...  MY SWITCH IT! ...  and it will blow shit up !

@ mk - 2  lol

i bought two of these
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G17281
and they don't work in a 110 v socket.. junk..
and they are very hard to tear down.. i had to bust the glass.. and cut my finger 
i did find the problem.. the white wires are trash.. probably good thing they didn't work
(fire hazard)
just thought i'd let you guys know before you buy..

Jadaro,
What are you trying to do?
I think I understand that you are trying to limit the amps draw.

Take a look at the" circuit"s thread where gadgetmall's posts about his refinement of the fuji ckt are at the beginning. He had a cfl running for a week or so on a fuji circuit. He did amazing things. I never could follow that fuji ckt well enough to do what he did. Remember Altrez?
He bought one of gadget's fuji boards and he said it did just what gadget claimed.

Check out that thread. It is right in the joule thief arena and is a locked thread.

Thanks for the heads up on this.  Safety for our members is always a good thing.  there is a lot of crap coming out of China like that, but, there is also a lot of cheap cool stuff that seems to work fine.  I guess we all just need to sort through it.

Posts like this are very helpful.

Thanks.

Bill

Interesting.
These must be the first generation that got blown on the first plug in.
That is too much money for that.
The LoA bulbs that are being sold now are fine. (not glass, plastic bulb - easy tear down.)
However, my next door neighbor has a heavy motor he was pulsing one day. My lights were all dipping and seemed to be surging too. Everything survived (I have a tripp protector on my electronics) but that one LoA that was on got blown. I thought fuse, but 7 of the leds are gone and the rest are fine. strange.

Thanks for the warning.

I have one unmodified one of those in a jtc that is really bright. I finally got it bright.
I will take a pic. If it is any good, I will post it.
