Joule Thief

[innovation_station]

iron garden wire too .....  lol

you are nuts!!!!!


lol

i do mean that in the BEST WAY BRO

william

i like 12 better 

i will check to see if i have enough materials ..  if so it a go ....

@ist

Right back at you!

I was thinking to different types of material used for coil, combining them may give us really interesting result when connected in parallel , the pulse timing is the same but at different resistance load(same number of turns, It may do bigger work.

Crazy enough.

@ Mark:

I think I see where you are going with this.  I wonder what would happen if one of the coils involved had an air core?  Maybe not the first one but maybe the 2nd or third?  Who the heck knows what we might get?  Copper, then iron, then air. 3 coils, 1 transistor.

It is very hard to follow this thread, there's 10 pages of posts a day containing mostly ramblings or vicious personal attacks. A few good bits here and there but scarce...

I know some might say that the creative process is chaotic at times, but please, how 'bout some coherence?

Anyway, would someone please explain to me why is there now a capacitor hooked to the JT all of a sudden? What is the goal with it?

Not crazy at all.
I put my stubblefield generators on the shelf last spring.

When this thread was going for about 3 weeks, I thought I'd bring them out again.

But, the thing is mark, this is what Nathan Stubblefield (NS) did. He had one copper wire wound bifilar with 1 soft iron wire. In the end he kept 2 ends up in the air?? for unidentified reasons, then without explaining how, he acknowledged that how you connect the wires is very important, and then he wrapped a secondary around the whole thing. It was the secondary that did the work.

Oh, of course, the thing was also cleverly set up to be its own battery.

As I see it, He was making a joule thief. He had discovered what we are discovering now.

Let's carry on with this. I think the value of the 2 wires is twofold, one to produce the galvanic action of the battery which we may or may not need as he did it, and 2, to provide 2 different resistances for some kind of bias. He had a switch of some kind but didn't describe it.

He was shown using 2 units connected in the middle with a telephone.( I think the switch was there.)

Personally, I think it is all here in this jt that we are making.

Not crazy at all.

Gadgetmail, I am waiting til spring for HHO bubbling. I want to be outside for my first tests!
