Joule Thief

[jonnydavro]

Hi everyone.Some great work and cooperation going on here.
@IST. Thanks for your kind remarks.
   Your new charger is looking really good.15v into a 120000uf in 25 seconds off a D cell wow!! I would certainly slap a pulse motor on that.
@Electricme. Hi Jim regarding your question about the coil.I used 250 meters off  28swg enamelled copper wire not sure about how many turns but it was one complete 250 gram spool from my local electronics shop but if i were you i would wind a bifilar or trifilar coil as it will give you a lot more recovery options.I am going to swap my coil in the jt pulse motor for a bifilar one for the above reason.
I reposted the circuit for my jt pulse motor on page 108 if anyone is interested in making one.The magnets i used are 25x5x5mm N42 neo's which i forgot to mention and make the motor virtually self starting and it is important to use more than just one led.
I can see plenty off ways to develop the jt pulse motor.I have made quite a few Bedini motors and i must say that I am quite flabergasted that i am getting  high rpm's,lighting lots of led's and collecting lots off bemf off a 1.5v battery.I have had a play with it today and i will try to make a video tomorrow.
In the meantime,i tried my joule thief out as a battery charger.I tried to charge a 9v battery(whyi used a 9v i don't know.i shoud try it on a 1.5 also) and  it gained some charge.
Here is a video

well all almost done it 

i will post a finished pic of it soon

im mounting the entire unit on a platform ... 

then i just bought 6 more cam units 

NEXT BOARD..    CAPPAC! is at the mill being machined out of plastic i have already all the 6 caps ....   now the charger unit 

back to work it never ends.... 

ist!

not to hijack this thred but .... 

how bout i throw this into a full wave bridge rectifier and charge a biggggggg  dc cap to run a nice pulse motor



so i will do so 

ist!

so the full wave brideg rectiefiter made no diff on the out put readings but  it will help when i put a big cap there i bet

What about the magnet.   

Good stuff ist.. Show more pls.

I am still looking around for something to run from my joule thief so I can make another video.  I just got word that Electronics Goldmine will not be shipping my order until the 22nd!!!!!!!  I ordered this a week ago but, I guess something got back ordered.  (Probably the solar cells)

I was thinking of plugging my Fuji AA circuit into the wall socket and make my meter run backwards........I also was thinking that this might not be such a good idea.
