Joule Thief

[innovation_station]

Looks Nice IST 

You should be able to use just one of the coils as the joule thief.
Then use the others coils as slaves off the transistor of the JT.

When I tried it with mine it didn't seem to draw much more power.
And the other coils still put out a Lot of power.

thank you  slayer this is awsome advice ....

hey some times i do thease little things to see who catches it lol  but if you look back to my coil pics ... you will see 1 flipped 

now if you look at my lol  .......  controler     lol ah    not now     not there yet

Would you please describe how you'd do this?

It seems a great idea, but I don't get how you would connect this.

Would you put the same common for all then put the "slave"s (bad word!) in a parallel way to the C and E of the transistor?


thanks,

Hello jeanna

Yes I would just run the negative side of the coil to the transistor then the positive side of the coil back to source positive.
I added a coil that was made just like the first one to the JT circuit and the curent draw only went up about 20 mill amps more.

I then added three more coils all differant and the curent draw went up around 20 mill amps for everone attached.
I allso added a transformer like in one of my videos were I attached them to a little JT and it put out so much voltage it fried my meter when I tried to read it.

The meter made a screeching sound then it sounded like an ignition coil inside the meter.

this is where it GETS REAL INTERSTING ...

ist


for this unit i will hook it up as you describe ...


but still a ways away from that

@ all
Mice pick my bones, lol, loved that one bill, ha ha.

Very interresting about the patient question about making something that is patented.......
My view is, if someone made something that was already done and this person honestly didn't know, then forgive him/her

But if there is a group of inventors (like us all) who want to improve a previous device, then I say go for it.
I don't see me being able to mass produce anything so no one needs to fear me from underpinning their item, if I haven't got something I need and can't afford to buy it, I try to make it, my way, my design.

I'm just a curious fellow, that likes to take something apart just as the next fellow, first time was my toy electric forklift I got in the early 50s from unka stan, this escalated to my pushbike, mower engines, ohhh now I'm in memory lane lol.

@ ist,
What say I pull apart a old electric iron cored welder and feed 24v into it via a home made inverter circuit, this should give me 240v AC out at several amps, now this just could have possibilities. Feed it with my big 24v 300 bats outside.
First I will plug it in, connect the meter to it and see what the AC out put is, then feed the same voltage back into it, same as some of us are doing with a second toroid with the JT.
