Joule Thief

[Pirate88179]

Timmy:

I used this simple circuit with a super cap last year on my earth battery experiments.  I believe it is a 5.5 volt .22F cap.  as someone just posted, it would charge up the cap AND light an led very well at the same time.  I could then take it off the earth battery (this is where I fist learned a little about super caps) and it would still light for about an hour at a good brightness, and another hour not so much.  The LED was brighter with the super cap in the circuit than running on the EB alone.

I am going to try a similar set-up with the new supercaps and the joule thief and the earth battery.....soon hopefully.

PS  This was the circuit used when I made this video a while back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq9ZKDKDclY

I was posting on youtube under the name 0WildBill0 at that time.  I think this has over 20,000 views.

@ Mk1

Thanks for explanation. If all 6 secondary coils were put in series do you think you would be able to get 6 x 23 = 138 volts out?

@xee2

Not tested but is seems to be reasonable to assume is series . But it could deliver up to 270 volts . My wire gauge is really big with turns alone it could get 420 easily.

@mk1   420 lol   now theres a # i know 

1 ist cap motor video comeing right up ... 

did domeone say perpetual motion was imposible ....  lol

did some one say ou was a pipe dream ?!?!?!

WELCOME TO MY REALITY 

IST CAP MOTOR ....   http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=QwjzaHcUkME

later prototypes will be sulf running with out loss  AND MUCH GAIN  and NO MOVEING PARTS...

AND THE BEST PART NO BATTERIES 

but dont forget teslas trick LET A SINGLE DISCHARGE BE FIRST CONSIDERED    OR MY TRICK LOL LET A SINGLE CHARGE BE FIRST CONSIDERED ... 

IST!
