Joule Thief

[NickZ]

   My cross over circuit is now on the 6 day, perpetual light. Voltage on the D cell battery is 0 to .025 volts, led indicator is bright.

Hi Guys . There you go nickZ nice report .

I have two still running for what now ,mm almost 2 weeks or so .
I have rebuilt the monster circuit using the darlington germanium and the coil but the turns  must not be the same for some reason it simple won't go up in voltage . I think the coil has everything to do with  this circuit .i should count windings more often and when i don't count them is when i get Crazy wild circuits that are amazing but without counting it is like playing the lottery.

I made a test bed because the other factor here is amplification and frequency of our transistors . I am going with the best power transistor i have right now but i have thousands of smaller transistors and fets so i am looking for that perfect input transistor we use on the secondary . Thus this test bed to test various things for the crossover .

nice results lynx and tk and all the others playing with these circuits .

If you love  electricity amplification in it's strangest form this is the circuit to be on .

Almost time for some Christmas Tree Jt pics . I will post some and I bet bill will also .

Hi folks, Hi nick, sounds like your getting good results with that crossover, nice, will have to try that circuit soon.
Not sure if you saw the post at other forum in simple inverter thread, though it seems by adding a 4.7 nanofarad 1200 volt capacitor from a gutted cfl across 2kohm base resistor, like lasers super joule ringer, has placed the circuit in a highly efficient oscillation mode or close to resonance.
It is the simple joule thief circuit with that capacitor added.
A 3.3 nanofarad capacitor does not oscillate like the 4.7 nanofarad and up to a certain capacitance, the great light output falls off again and current draw goes up.
Also of high value, is the fact that the transistor is ambient to slightly warm, whereas, if the capacitor is removed and the base resistor adjusted to replicate the same brightness, the amp draw goes up and the transistor/heat sink gets hot.
Hope this may be of value to others.
Here is link to forum thread and a youtube video link.

TK, do you think a 100F double cap like this one would help with your experiments?

I get my main job back at the courthouse on July 1st and get a rather handsome paycheck, I can try and get one for your lab if you need it?

OMG that is some piece of kit! No... thanks for offering but I wouldn't be able to use that much.... I think it's more for super bass in car stereos or something, coilguns or tazers.....
But thanks so much anyway, I appreciate the offer .... or are you just pulling my leg....

(I might accept a donation of a couple of those 10F caps that Lawrence is using, they are much cheaper and would be much more useful to me...)
