Joule Thief

[timmy1729]

This is off topic but interesting . I am playing with three Large Hv caps . all discharged . i charge one up to 60 volts . transfer it to the second one  the put them in series i get 130 volts . i take that 130 volts and transfer it to the third cap it reads 135 volts . i charge the second cap up with it  put them in series and now i have 332 volts i charge the third cap up with those two and then put that in series with the three now i have 1100 volts between the three caps and discharged them . WOW a Major Blast .. All this with a starting charge of 60 volts  we have got to build this thing . i know its the young effect but this could be used in our little project !

Wow, I must've missed some good stuff. I'm like 20 pages behind in my reading thanks to work actually making me... well... work 


If anyone would care to PM me with any of the major discoveries over the last 20 pages, I would be very grateful.

hi . Timmy . well basically we build a flying saucer so cool ion death rays and .. hehehe.. We got the current way down on the Jt  AND the fugi camera board .. How about running 11 -12 hours a CFL on an aa battery ?? or a year lighting leds on an aa battery . yep ya missed a lot . go back and read ..  ..


@All

Im kind of curious if any one modded there fugi circuit yet and if you did can you report How Low you got the current draw down ? my lowest is 12 ma on unit one with a15 watt cfl   and on unit 2 19 ma  -45 watt cfl  and unit three i am still working on . it has a 3 k resistor 32ma  on it so far  . i need some more Vr's and 68 pf caps .. .. Also if you modded one state what kind of lights you ran with it be it tube or leds . I am real curious about the Leds .. at least 200 hundred i would think cause you will burn up 100 ..

to be honest i have not got this to do anything more than it was .....

what did you mod ??

i see crap bout cap  resistor on the supply  on the gate ....................................................

for the record what did you mod... 

i will do it but not 10 damm times ... 

FUGI HERE .....   

not jt .........   

ist

post a verry clear description of what is to be changed and i will build it  and post  pics and a video but ...   if you will not .... 

until then ....   

im  at the MK1 MAG AMP JT 4 CORE .....   got 1 done now  3 more to go ....

i dont really think i need the fugi .... 

ive been rounding up 1kv caps and as big as i can find ......  in voltage....

   Gadget, I am rolling on the floor here.   1100v, man what a kabooooom.

Be uuber careful will you. That is heart stopping voltage matey. You need
to make very calculated moves from here on out.

thaelin

tell me why some devices SHOULD NEVER BE CLOSED LOOPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hummm   

there is no need is some cases ....

i bout tired of investors ....   what a waste of my time .......   they have been ....   

give em an 1" they want the world ....  all for LITTLE CARROTS.....

ha!

i dont think so .....   i spent 1000's of hours ...   and 10's of thousands of dollars of my hard work    to grasp what many never could .........

ist!!

REMEMBER WHO DID THE YOUNG EFFECT....   AND IT IS NAMED SO.....

THANK YOU CHUCK .....


my sg 36 works with a jt and the young effect ....   jt to supply it ....   jt to ramp it back up for the next lap ...... 

this powers my tpu generator .......

Alright, here's my first modified camera circuit a la Jose Pino
(http://josepino.com/circuits/?fluorescent_light)
with a few slight variations.

First of all I could not get the specific Fuji "continuous flash" disposable camera with the AA board,
but instead I got a really cheap B-brand that recycles old disposables (sloppily I might add).
The board and components look almost identical save a differently shaped cap, and I am still not
sure if the transformer is of the much praised 6-leg variety, but I modded it exactly as Jose did.
Which, if I understood correctly, is also the modification our Pirate uses in his fluorescent tube
experiments.

I did not have a slide switch but I did have an old light switch so I just took that and soldered
it to the board at what looks like exactly the same spot as Jose did.
Oddly enough, my switch does not work. It worked 5 minutes ago when it was still connected
to a lamp, but after soldering it to my circuit, it doesn't work. Or at least, no matter if I
switch it on or off, the circuit doesn't care, it just keeps running. I suppose I have connected
it wrong, but I really don't see where... Maybe it's just an old switch and this last tinkering
session broke it or something...

For your enjoyment, here's a pic of my modifiedd non-Fuji circuit lighting a 4W fluorescent tube.

Oh, by the way, I noticed that the tube also lights up when only one wire is connected and the other
is not, as long as I hold the tube and the wire in one hand. I do not need to touch any of the conductive
parts, it is enough to hold the glass tube and the plastic coating of the wire. The tube does not light
as brightly this way though, and when I do hold the metal part of the wire the tube lights almost
as bright as when the wire is directly connected. Not entirely "single wire" but funky all the same.

Kind regards,
Koen
