Joule Thief

[freepow]

Hello...    Can someone help me with a special switching method... look at the picture, sorry if its too big !

Basically to be able to charge each cap seperately then one switch which then connects all caps in series for one output , then to be able to switch back to originall again to be able to start the process again when I want too !

Please post photos no larger than 800 x 600 as it messes up the entire page for everyone.

Thank you,

only way i could think of doing this easy is a motor and a wheel the wheel has contacts on and every time the wheel passes the connections it turns on then off

I have a confusion about the parallel and the series values of capacitors. With that in mind, this is my switching suggestion.

i dont think he wonts them to fire all at once i think he wonts them to fire one after the other bit like a cars ignition system would

Even though all joule thieves are on at the same time, they are charging their respective capacitor isolated from the others.

When the negative pulse acrivates the two pnps, the three capacitors are joined.

If what he wants is +Cap-+Cap-+cap- . That is a task out of my reach now.
