Joule Thief

[timmy1729]

I haven't been posting much here but I have been following it very carefully. I have also made a couple of jt's out of some old flash units I had laying around. I also want to try to make one on a little larger scale. I'm not sure if it will work but I will let you all know when I start on this.

The reason I am now posting is to kindly request IS to stop posting his crap on this thread. If you have something to add or help please do. To post that people are transmitting and receiving is crap and only serves to confuse some of the posters. It is a joule thief not a transmitter. Please keep these kind of comments or riddles to yourself.

@MrMag

I may not understand everything IST posts either, but he is doing some cool stuff on his own and I am grateful for whatever he decides to share no matter how he decides to share it. I'm guessing he's a fan of the Socratic method or maybe he wants people to try and think to understand things that he had to work out for himself. His posts are just his personality. Everyone is different. I am grateful that he is generous in sharing his experiments at all. If you don't want to read his posts then scroll past them. Many of us on here appreciate whatever useful information we can get from his posts.

@IST
I, for one, appreciate your posts and I hope you continue to share with us all.Thank you for sharing, my friend

Incandescent bulb will not light on any circuit on this tread fuji or not there is not enough amp to do so and the bulbs need 120 volts bipolar .
The circuits now experimented are are not working in that mater they are making high voltage spikes useful for fluorescent lighting led work well with it as well, my main interest is in how fast they charge caps with those high voltage spikes then you make a bigger on running from the caps going higher and bigger each time.Then making it run from aluminum and pennies voltaic pile, or recycle beer cans battery.
earth battery could work but would need at least 400 mili amps so you would need a huge number of them in parallel to get that.

@timmy
i use led as my eyes to see potential on coil winding to show me what the meter cant see.And if you really want a flash light you got the best,
that being said make sure the the 2 coil lead that go to battery positive pole are wound in opposite directions.

I checked on another JT and only got 0.01 - 0.16v ac going across the LED, which is the same place I measured and got 3.0 v dc on my improved one.The old one only gets 1.3 - 1.4v dc across the LED. Oh, on the old one, I am getting 165 mA. So, I am guessing that the double in voltage is at a cost of a drop in mA?

So, should I NOT wind the coil using both wires at the same time? Should I wind them separately in two layers, one winding clockwise and the other counter-clockwise?

im not starting anything with you mr maggs but

your own words clearly show you have almost NO understanding HOW   this WORKS....


lol


lay off   i can prove almost EVERYTHING I SAID   

but it is a puzzel and your still lost .....  lol

i post advandced stuff for those that are ready for it ......

i post simple stuff for beginners.... 

yes i have this down ..... 

i can PROVE IT ALL IN TESLAS WORDS....

do you persue the TRUTH  or are you looking for more LIES?!?!?!?!

@timmy

The first think is your transistor pnp or npn, second to make it as simple as possible to start, making it with 2 wire at a time is easier , but you really have to make sure that on the side that 2 coil go to the positive bat they are wound in opposite direction conter and clockwise.Then make other connection, test with led flip led , check results if noting flip battery(pnp,npn issue)  Timmy one end of the coil in clock wise
the other is not.

I test with led because the multimeter cant show me the potential in the circuit unless rectified.

@IS
I get you you are the one amplifying the vacuum effect with neo magnet ? if yes big fan. But how to use it ?
