Joule Thief

@ Pirate 

Bill,  300 LEDs is truly amazing.  I say go for the record and get another set.  For $5.00 you can always use the LEDs on other projects.
One question,  what should we do with all of the leftover camera capacitors?  Do you think they would be good for experimenting with the Young Effect? 

BTW have you tried asking for free recycled cameras.   They do not seem to mind giving you a few if you ask at the photo shops that I have stopped by.

hey guys i got luckey too     i must say i enjoyed my self lol

yea well that is not the reason for my post ....

i been fiddleing with my toys  lol   

so i hooked up a simple closed loop unit....  sure it works .... lol   but hers the cool  sh!t  i put my unit under load and it speeds up ...  i take the load away it slows down

the load is a 12vdc deep cycle battery    its job is to charge it lol

this sys will never run out of engery....  it will always have enough of a reserve to recharge its self  i have a invertor in the mix 2 chargers and 3 batteries 

ist

this entire unit is public on ou but not showen how it is hooked up   and i will not!!   but letting you all know it is easly done 

its been running almost 24 hours 12 in closed loop operation

cheers !!

@ IS

Are you saying you closed the loop with the Jule Thief circuit or is it another circuit 

PS:  As for "this entire unit is public on ou but not showen how it is hooked up"....when will you take this out of the hidden from public mode and show us the circuit you used?  This world definitely could use a helping hand 

Regards,
Paul

Which unit are you refering to?   Why would you not want to show everyone how to hook it up?

@ nievesoliveras

I agree. The easiest way to light the tube is to just cut the leads off the large cap near the body and then attach the tube to the two leads that are left on the board. You will only get power to the tube for half of each AC cycle, but that is better than no power and it is easy to do. Then all you need to do is figure out how to short the charging switch.
