Joule Thief

[stevenchiverton]

Welcome stevenchi...
I look forward to the charging jtc.
Your board is very nicely laid out and labeled.
Excellent.

Just a note about pic size:
Please run your pix through a graphics program like gimp (free) to modify the image size to be under 600 pixels wide. thankyou i dont have these programs and i dont really know how to resizer but ill try cutting them  down useing something in pc here  ive done it so i hope this is ok here the radiant battery charger jioule thief ill add circuit when i find it

Pirate doesn't have a lot of time these days and he must turn off the thread, download and change then exchange his modified pic for yours, so it will help everybody if you do it yourself.




that biggo is very high permeability. I am sure you will saturate it easily.
2T,6T,330T is what I used.
Please let us know!
Just be very careful with that 30 gauge stuff.
When you get the super high voltages that you will get, you are likely to also get a break in the insulation.
(I have kept the max to 28 gauge for that reason.)
I put on 330 turns and I got over 1800v. It was probably over 2000 volts. I didn't want to break my scope to find out!

No it actually looked similar to the Floyd design! Hummmm...maybe he posted it in MK1's topic!  I will check there!

P.S. Where is kooler anyways...I haven't seen him in a while.

i have a very much upgraded version of the sweet vta.. my version of it.. lol
it has no tanks and two bifiliar aircoils between the transformers.. once running they start to feed each other.. ..
and you tap the output the same way floyd did.
pm me if you want a diagram..
i busted up my back a couple of months back so i am not able to go down the stairs to the foxhole or i would do a video or pictures
maybe soon..

Hey Robbie,

I am sorry to hear about your back.

Please give us all the diagram of one coil feeding the other!
/or/ a link to the thread if you started one.
