Al:

Nice going.  I just logged on here and saw your Joule Screamer running the electric motors video on the front page in the OU video presentation.  Excellent.  That is really cool.

Hi all,

I tried the JT 101 and I couldn't get the transistor to put out more power. (I asked the guys on that page to help)

So.. I bought a Fuji Flash camera and took it apart.
I have attached the pictures.

As you can see the circiut is different that the one on this thread.
ANy thoughts on the modification for the CFL?

Hello Sir Berman . No its exactly the same . It's a Fugi AAA 4th gen board . here is the mod .
Make sure you close the copper switch shut on the solder side of that board . and Make sure you discharge that cap with a. insulated screwdriver before messing with it .

The Lamp has to be popped apart at the base . I don't recall a video for that . you must remove the electronics from the lamp if using a screw-in CFL Spiral bulb .

Anyone  else ?

Thanks Bill . My daughter is ecstatic that her factory is on the front page How did it get there ? Anyways it's chugging along . Click CliCK CLICK ...
It's going to take me days to transfer that schematic to a usable readable copy . i need a break so . See you guys  in a bit ..
one more quick note. When i get this schematic finished and tested and tuned i will no doubt be flamed ,maimed and tormented again . . Why ? Because the taught science of them have to explain away any possibility of something like this in terrestrial terms . They will no doubt leave any room for something other . so i know it's coming if we get it going .Just remember i told you . Hey and if it takes a while and some adjustments have to be made that ok too but i feel confident that this little group will be inspired with something  . that is all for now .

Gnite .

I was thinking isn't it amazing how far we have come in just two years  . In 2010 we heard about Electric paper and a quote from Smokey t"hat electric paper, is that the stuff they're using in those digital-paper-books?
-single sheet of paper that can hold hundreds of books..
you click on it like a touch-screen to turn the page. i saw one a few months back at a tech-show. they're pretty neat.
i imagine people carrying them around instead of big bulky books..
or kids in schools, with a single sheet of paper that holds all their texts. but we're probably still a long time away from that.."
Now we take have them in our pocket built right in our phones.And yes My Daughter's class this year all have i-pads  in 5th grade.No more Blackboards and chalk only Flatscreens and touch pads and laser video projectors . I think they still have a small white board with some erasable markers though . soon to be the past .And if all the knowledge is stored in chips what happens when the largest EMP wipes them all clean.or worst hit by a  gamma ray burst like the one  that was discovered on Christmas in 2010 .... and now hundreds of them discovered . Like giant vaporizing lasers being shot every where and the range unlimited .
I also find it disturbing that we are all so easily distracted with a fake reality by the media to make our attention to facts . like the japan holycaust now and the pole shifting  in march this year... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzu6Uphs3j0
