Joule Thief

[Mk1]

maybe it is me who is counting wrong. 
~47 milliamps per .6 second or ~470 milliamps per .6 second ?

a 47uf cap should divide the time by 10, but also the milliamps by 10

Even if only 47 mili at 100 volts thats still is more then 1.2 v at 22 mili . Over ?

Ok, so i changed things around and am using the long coil for lighting the LED ..I rectified it with a switching diode and put the same capacitor across the ends and got a reading of 27.6 volts.

I'm adding a new circuit diagram for this, it's probably just a reiteration of someone else's design so I'm not going to brand it in any way...something to note is there is no capacitor needed to run this circuit.  Tanking the resistor does work, but it has a negative effect on the brightness of the LED in any of the optional configurations as well as the main configuration.

The circle with the two arrows coming out of it is just a photon emitting component.  I can't seem to find a good looking LED icon for DIA.  Blue parts of this diagram are different setups that I've found work as well.

This circuit seems to work with the LED across the large coil, or with a capacitor included as shown.  This doesn't seem to effect the operation very much at all - brightness goes down only slightly.  I've included pictures of this circuit working in the optional form.

@jadaro2600
it would benifit you greatly to use a 10 ~ 20 k ohms trim pot

Nice work there , the base resistor can be change with a 1 of 2 k pot , bigger for the tune tank , or higher voltage input.

Also led can light from one turn pickup coil , on many pickup coils unit a bridge rectifier is better .

Nice Jadaro,

I thought that blue thing was a cap???

Jesus put up a page of picture icons/glyphs that can be downloaded as pdf and copied. I am assuming (hoping) DIA can move marqueed and cut bits into place and turn them etc.

If so, I noticed that Bill has already put that page of electronic glyphs up onto the consolidation page. Have a look. Makes life easier when you can cut n paste!

But, I don't see a led there either. You could cut it off a pic that you like. take it as a screenshot then modify  or take from it. (I do that kind of stuff all the time. saves a lot.)

Hazens,
Please report more often. I am looking forward to see what you have to show.
One reason to report often is that it is inspirational to others. Even if someone doesn't replicate your work, many times something you do will help or tweek someone's thoughts and cause a new design or idea to come forward.

This really is a think tank, and when we use it that way, we get very good results.

Thank you,

jeanna
