Joule Thief

[scratchrobot]

I just finished my replication of the Bedini radiant oscillator tube. Made from an 2n3055.
I know this is not a joulethief but maybe someone can build a joulethief this way, i will

Battery voltage climbing? I'm not sure if this is the same thing that gadget is seeing but it came about from putting a cap in the place he said..... I just used a 1 uF poly film cap that was on the bench.... this was one of those "whoopee" moments for sure; when I first touched the cap into the running circuit and saw the voltage go up by 200 mV in a few seconds and still climbing ........ but then I calmed down and started thinking about it.....

   I don't know about cfl's but flybacks can light flurescent bulbs just sitting next to them.  Incandascents use argon to blueshift infrared which is pretty neat in and of itself.  You start off with low frequency light and get higher frequency light just because you have some gas between you and the resistor. Flurescent coatings redshift uv and appear to redshift xrays also.  My reasoning is that if you take a conventional solar collector put it inside a quartz tube filled with argon the near infrared will excite the argon to emit white light and power up the solar collector collecting solar em at near infrared frequencies buried in the ground or under the ocean or sitting around your apartment at night whatever.  Sorry for the off topic stuff.

well update . I got up late this morning after a long night experimenting and the battery was dead shorted and the circuit was stopped . i don't know when that happened but i have to POP this battery and i think it is a nicad or an alkaline , I have no idea as the skin is off it . I should know better using an unknown in there . Anyway my eureka moment faded fast this morning but i will do it again with one of my good nimh batteries , could take a while ....

I have a few of these weird skinless batteries and a few will charge up then short out dead and will not even be recognized in a charger but if i let them sit for a few days they come back to about a half a volt and the charger sees them again and i can use them. .
My conclusion this morning is different builds produce different results . I know i am on the right track with this one as my thinking is only enuff voltage to trigger the transistors into oscillation and that my friends is low for silicon transistors . somewhere near 0.6 volts this circuit fires a 220 vac led bulb and that is all it needs from the environment..Anything higher than 1.3 volts and your wasting the effect . Also one diode out of 4 i have worked for feed back It is a glass diode with one line on it and it worked better with an led across it . I don't know the  number but i do have other glass diodes that just stopped the oscillator but this one didn't and i got 50 of them that work .I got them off ebay years ago from hong kong when i was looking for the lowest voltage drop germanium . I also tried the avramenco plug on it and it stops it too so only one way on one of the legs of the load . The other leg is on a free wire several feet long . this setup that i think works now looks like a rats nest with long wires everywhere . I do not have any stray emf as i checked it with my android phone and a emf detector that IS very sensitive . just a little background emf and not like near a transformer .
I am beat and need to relax a bit and get some coffee in me .

thats what i was seeing . I have a Capacitor substitution box and i can select all the capacitors and see the effect with a twist of a knob and get a "balance" . remember i did check the standing battery volts and it was .6 volts to start it . I bet a variable trimmer can work here to help tune the coils . and the cap is between one of the load legs and the pos rail .
Tk your little neat 4 neon device is really close if it runs from depleted batteries . There is voltage from the earth to the air as every one know of Tesla experiments with caps and ground rods and Ariel do store electrical energy .. Nice build .And i can see you are running 2 batteries? the question i would have for you when you replicated was are you reading the two batteries when the cap is placed in and you are seeing recovery because the led light is dimmer . I see my light  get dimmer and as i stated i have a cap box that can balance that for maximum light and the charging effect ..Also remember that my diode feedback also has a white led parallel to it and it also lights .I can tell the difference in battery recovery or real charging pretty sure .

LaserSaber is using the Tesla effect with his roof and copper ground . Simple free energy . His barn is a collector  and that is why he has so much success with cap powered lights .His rat nest alligator clips are like a capacitor to his tin roof. The key here is in my opinion tuning your coils to meet the transistors frequency and thus run them at there every minimum volts to activate the beta amplifying properties of that particular transistor , And that is why i am trying some germanium one with very high beta gain and extremely low start of .2 . the question is will the frequency be enough to power a 220volt led bulb and still see the "charging effect from the aether or background emf,static  which is free .(some will say it's not )( I feel Mh is lurking somewhere to strike.Beware MH your old school physics don't hold water here  )

If you have a good Android phone with geo and magnetic sensors as in the droid INC  there is an app called Entity Sensor (emf detector) and you can check you work space for any level of emf radiation . Mine is very low on my work space compared to near walls with wires in them or near magnetic stuff like magnets . 

Pics of next test with a know battery.BTW the output on the diode/led jig to pos rail is over 13 volts open so when i connect it it is feeding some juice back in. .

BTW nice find on the CFL stuff . I have never seen the circuit posted and now it is possible to convert them to a lower input using those schematics.

Greetings to all.

After few experiments using the earth ground and the metal frame from the window, I am now convinced that indeed it is increasing the "power" for the circuit. Please correct me if I am wrong. After testing few standard transformers I found one that light a 9w modified CFL and the led bulb was with great light too. When connecting the cable from the window, the amount of light increase.

Follows the test:
