Joule Thief

[innovation_station]

since i keep chugging along the path ...   i am working on the supply jt for the voltage divider ..

here is a pic

ist!!

Here is a short video of two joule thiefs circuits connected to the same light.
There both running off the same battery allso.

When I turned both of them up all the way they would want to cancel each other out.
But just connecting both collectors togeather on the 3055's they work togeather.

It would be nice to see what five of them could do togeather.
Or if I was IST maybe ten of them togeather LoL

Thank you for the 555 joule thief circuit link.

You will soon be dealing with some strange voltages if you keep experimenting.

Jesus always does nice work ..what's really strange is with the 20k resistor, it's only drawing 1.6ma ..but when I try to measure, the light dims, otherwise, it's still just as bright as with a 10k resistor while drawing 6.7ma and not dimming when trying to measure current.

Is that the light singing or the toroids?

Man I had a hard time to get this going again,
That should teach me to wright it down before going in a different direction.
Well i was some what correct in the schematic, and yes the transistor makes all the difference in
the world.
I do work back and forth on the JT and Fugi circuits and easily confused.
So what is going on now.
The capacitor charges  up to 50 volts fairly fast and will climb if one has the patients.
The Brushed DC motor still works the same Starts out fast then slows runs this time at 5.4 volts
The brush less DC motor does not work at all when i connect it i get a big spark the same as if i
short out the cap, meter reads 0 volt.
This motor was out of a Bar Code reader, i have two more and may try with one of the other.
It may also be that it was on the verge of death and i just pushed it over the edge.

Tried the fan out of a PC power supply, wiggles the fan but does not run volts on cap are 3.9

Think I’ll steal the kids web cam while they are in school and try to make a video, i have never
done this so don’t hold you breath.

Great work all Some interesting things going on here
