Joule Thief

[stprue]

its ok. I forget to say I am only using the pickup!
well, xee2 is not objecting, but I need to ask.
Is there any way for this power supply to sneek a little extra amperage into the circuit if it calls for it?

And, how could you tell?

I am still puzzled about why you have no trouble starting this up. or rather, why I do.But maybe a little surge is available?

Also, I will change the primary on mine to 2T,10T  because the pickup has 240Turns and would be very close to both of yours.

I may have better luck this time than before.

Thank you for your good work and beautiful pictures,

It is always possible for extra amperage to sneak in but highly unlikely.  My protek is a programable power supply that is very accurate.  I'm not worried about that anyways because I set it for .5a but it always uses less but it could potentially use up to .5a.  I always check to make sure it is not jumping around which it never does, in any sort of extreme way anyways.  What I have noticed especally with the maxcaps is as the voltage increases the amperage and decreases as the frequency increases.  What is happening is the maxcaps are sucking up as much amperage as they can before the coil hits maximum voltage.  It then levels off.

I want to mess around with the base coil winding numbers to tune it better before I wind the other side, but I am happy with the results of this coil so far.

P.S. Is it an x2 style pickup dual sides?  240 seems like a lot! when I'm finished with this biggo it 208x2dual side windings for both pickups.

i made similar things along time ago and they were not well received i am interested in the battery charging aspect but follow the whole thread and many other things but have not done much since my son died what a waste am somewhat ok with it now i am more into wind mills for low velocity wind power but what you are doing has off grid applications and am useing them even now but that is another story for another time.
my big interest is in how energy works for power reasons and that is not what you are all doing.
i have made these about ten years ago after reading an old radio handbook for ham radio. what you are doing has applications as to tesla's car and that interests me allot as does alexander frolovs work it really is all starting to look the same but hard to put into words done right you could run a car on a single battery from new york to albany or maybe allot farther.
will post some thoughts allong the way and when want to explore something new will then build it as always.

PS i asked the question because this may have significance to the biefield brown right angle capacitance of the lifter project and some of you are always looking for something new to try it can be viewed at the jln labs page as well as the tep.
must be getting old forgot why i suggested this and had to come back.

Nice to have you here Martin, if you are in to windmil type stuff.. some of the newer things I have "windband technology"  and DNA or S type design windmil.  Pretty cool stuff.  JLN is a great place to learn so feel free to experiment and post as much as possible. 

P.S.  Pictures are good!!!

yes the applactions of the TESLA KICK  TECK sure are something ... 

millions of uses ...

finished my IST 5555 COIL IT IS ALL WOUND ...

ILL FIRE IT UP TODAY AND FINISH THE ELECTRONICS TODAY ..

ist

teslas car ..  well   thats another thred 

42 wire ends in my last 3 phase 2 freq tpu ..

like i mentioned earlyer on i found  a toroide with the mk2 winding config from FACTORY..  in an old microwave ...

here is a pic of it ..

[innovation_station]

so i hooked up 1 phase jt with a 3904 for my first tests NO NEOS..  just 2 freqs untuned ..  never even turned the pot yet ...

i wanted to scope the out puts of this coil first to INSURE I DID IT PROPERLY...  lol

and yes i did 

on the mk2 tansformer windings /feedback i get 7 v spikes lots of them ...  then on the mk2 generator winding . get 12 v spikes lots of them infact the same wave lol 

then on the 50 turn generator winding i get 60 v ...  i only scoped the first 3 coils so far i would expect the exact same results on all coils .. 

and next i will do the accelerator collector coil ... the final one 6 laps on this unit ..

ist!

im getting about 40v spikes on my accelerator winding ... and many times the spikes per/waves then my other windings ...  hummmm



find O U  yet ? 

just cuz i like to take pictures and i do like my latest coil lol

[innovation_station]

yep even 1 more advancement for today ... 

wanring  ....  nuf said there

try a rinnnnggggg over lap lol 
what a delay from the led ...  that fires 123 123

like i said ... 

if i catch you comeing back my way im gonna serve it to you 

NOW that aint what you want to hear but thats what ill do .... 

will~i~am
