Joule Thief

[Pirate88179]

Well I checked and radio shack does not carry them....so, I ordered on;line from a semiconductor company.  Problem is, they had a $50 minimum!!!

So, I ordered a few other things as well:

50 1n34 germanium diodes
50 2n3055 transistors (for my Bedini motor)
10 1n4001 diodes (Bedini)
10 1n4007 diodes (Bedini)
40 2N3904 transistors (joule thief)  These were like 20 cents each and RS sells them for $2 ea.
20 2N2222 transistors to try on the jt circuits.

I really can't afford this but at least now I can complete my Bedini motor and try some of the stuff lidmotor is doing.  I guess I have to work a lot more now which gives me less time to experiment.

We had 2 other electronic stores here in town but all are gone except for radio shack, and they don't carry half the stuff in this store that is online.  I did a search on their site for the germanium and it had no listing.  This is better anyway, I'd rather pay 20 cents each for a boatload of parts than what I have been paying at RS.

I guess I will give this a try when the parts come in.

Bill                        PS  I have no idea what the germanium diodes look like as they had no photo.

   Please keep in mind here that the JT is a very efficient capacitor charge circuit.
Do the wattage calculations like after you flash the camera as to how many watts do you have stored in the capacitor.  Then think about what Tesla states in all candor in the below.

   Yes; I charged the condenser with 40,000 volts.  When it was charged full, I discharged it suddenly, through a short circuit which gave me a very rapid rate of oscillation.  Let us suppose that I had stored in the condenser 10 watts.  Then, for such a wave there is a flux of energy of (4 x 104)2, and this is multiplied by the frequency of 100,000.  You see, it may go into thousands or millions of horsepower.

SPARKS!!!

not there yet ....   


let it be!!!!

perhaps   WE NEED TO HAVE A CHAT!!

Collect a couple of dumped TVs, monitors, microwave ovens.
With a soldering iron and a solder sucker, you would be
amazed how much useful stuff you can get (secondhand,
yes, but probably in good order) for nothing while you are
watching the telly in these long winter evenings.
