Joule Thief

[Artic_Knight]

Thank nop , you are fast , but thank god this can be tested easily , i have made a electromagnet from a nail guess what ? one regular and one bi.

I can easily see why this is better ! More current more magnetic current , more capacitance you say well that proved it quite nicely, i want more !

I even found a link , http://www.tesla-coil-builder.com/bifilar_electromagnet.htm

thank you MK1 i posted about this many posts back and no one seemed to listen. im happy to see it fell on good ears

don't beleive everything on internet without confirming from a more credible source.

that test from the link is a "guesstimate" experiment.
i have been fooled by a site like this one a few years ago...
real tests require a Gaussmeter(DC) and/or a magnetometers(AC).

NOP test it. and tell me im wrong again.

i cant waite for a CLEAN GREEN WORLD WORKING IN SYNC WITH NATURE    

WE ENJOY OUR 3D TIME IN A CREATION OF HARMONY ... 

OUR CHILDREN CRY FOR IT TO BE RESTORED ... 

IST!

I would love to have a free clean source of energy for my children as well. However I can not seem to find anyone who has accomplished this task as of now. There will be no free energy movement until we find a way to clearly provide a step by step document of a device that is simple to use provides more output then input and plaster the instructions all over the internet.

As of now I do not know of any such device. Please if I am wrong can someone point me in the right direction.

@Jadaro2600
Iron Powders, sure can.

I will really look forward to seeing the results you get using this, as I proposed this method several months ago. 

Here is a site in Australia, there is a really good breakdown on the different size of iron powders.
It seems they even throw some of this stuff on the breakfast cereals also. (yuk).

If I discover more, I will post their web addys also

The idea will also incorporate a sort of shielding, perhaps this type of setup will limit the EMR emitted and reduce interference - maybe even comply with FCC regulations .

Hi jadaro,

I bought some magnetite powder last fall. I do not have the link handy, but if you want I will look for it. I would think magnetite would work really well. hmmm...

Magnetite seems like an interesting substance for testing.

You can get Iron filings from edmund scientific.com

Thankyou for those links, all of you.

I'm limited for resources at the moment - It's also very hot here, so anything I do is on a small scale.

I was considering the mobius style coil ( if you can call it that ) encased in ferrite powder.  I could test it before and after the proceedure.  Any tips?

@all

I plan to test that theory with a controlled experiment.

... I really want to understand the goal of the project. ...

I like controlled experiments.
I am not sure it is time to test the fluoro tubes yet, but if you can light one and hold the light on for 4 hours=i evening / solar charge from 1 day, for instance, and you are not smiling, well,

I think it is a hot humid day in the east.

As far as the goal is concerned...
We are all different. We all have different goals even if we can agree on the broader ones, so, I don't think this makes any difference what the goal of this project is.
As a matter of fact, on page one, Pirate wanted help making and maybe understanding what the heck this thing is. And here we are 600 pages later.
I have sure learned a lot. I know a lot more about how this works than I did last December.

Ok perhaps I simply do not understand what is truly going on with the JT. However I do not believe without some hard evidence that 1 AA battery can light a 20 watt tube to full brightness no matter what type of JT winding you use.

So what?
A fluoro tube won't light to full brightness after it gets old either, no matter what kind of mains outlet you plug it into.
If I can see well enough to read at night which I can with my jtc's then why should I quibble?

The numbers just do not add up. 1.5 volts at 2.5 amps = 4 watts for 1 hour under perfect conditions. So it is possible to light a 4 watt tube. Now perhaps the numbers on the tubes lie and one really does not need the full 20 watts of power to achieve full brightness.

They do not add up.
We have been sold a bill of goods. So now what are we going to do about it? complain?
I thnk we are doing a lot about it myself.

I personally know 10 people who are completely jazzed that they have learned how to make a joule thief and one with a secondary.
I know one of them is now using his to light his little house and read by it at night.
wow.

He and the rest of them are preparing to teach a class so their friends will all know how...

So, my question is this,
How many people can you gather up to teach this to?
We could all teach 5 to 10 people and ask them to teach 5 to 10 themselves. Why not give THAT a try?

Want some help with that scope of yours?
