Joule Thief

[stprue]

@Gary,
I am sorry to hear about your last 4 daze... too bad about burning stuff up.

Next door, I am trying to use the pulses from the lower basic level joule thief to change the output of various combinations of leds and inductors and caps.

Recently, I had a segment of the circuit that I split into 2 segments. I was trying to be able to add lights and not have other parts of the circuit change. For the longest time/ many tries, I got nowhere, but then I added another inductor and spread the cap to span across 2 inductors. When I did that, the other part of the circuit did not effect the one I had just manipulated.

So, I think you are correct here.

As you are suggesting, I was trying to add caps in a line between inductors today too.
No luck so far. (The entire circuit went out today whenever I put on the new one. aargh!)
As with you, my progress has felt slow.
I make a success one day then go along for another 10 days with no more progress.

And, I think there is much more to be explored.
I am very glad to hear of your experiments.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.

@stprue,
I am not sure how I can help you??
but I do not trust your power supply. I know they are supposed to be cool, but you even discovered a leak. Why not use a AAA  or AA like the rest of us?
Then you can be sure and there will never be a question. You can use the wall power to recharge the battery.

I am also afraid that I am unable to follow what you are doing with the lighting a neon and also recharging... It is my fault. I have never made the slayer or kubikop self charger. I haven't even made the jesus self charger, and it is right here!
I am sure I would be able to follow along if I had.

sorry,
jeanna

IT IS ME... I CAN'T DESCRIBE ANYHTING...DON'T WORRY I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED AFTER MY NEXT TESTS...OOOP sorry about the upper case.

My max cap is still lighting the led in this circuite


and it has been off for a while.

@all

please help me I just turned the dmm back on and the voltage keeps raising...I have never had any results like this...What am I doing wrong?

2.596


2.598


2.598


2.598

now it's lowering but for so few turns AND ...dam



Help out Jeanna..I will do a step by step.  You have the same ingredients as me.

GREAT WORK ST sounds like you maybe got into the ORBIT ...    but im not sure ...

glad you came back .....  was wondering where you got to ... 

since thease electrodes get soooo hot so fast ...   im mounting the center electrode above the ring ... and ill likely mount a small fan in the ring to kool the electrodes ...

at lest theas are the latest thoughts .. lol

i have some insolators cermanic for an electric fence i may use thease to hold the 8 electrodes cuz of the heat ...  last thing i want is a melt down ...  i can blow a few diodes ... but a melt down sux...



st if your tapping orbit wich you MUST BE  it will oscolate the cap will fully drain and in the instance it is empty .. its full agin ... 

sure i got this down too ... lol 

but i do not want to expose it some one else can ...    if you learned all about it ..  share it ... 

i dont want to be a free engery discovery pig ....  lol

it is darn kool i was useing small caps so i could watch it boggie on the AC side of the meter ... 

up and down up and down 4 ever ...  bout 2 years ago almost ... now im not sure .... i count in coils ...    bout 250 coils ago ...  i had an orbit running for 2 days from the first zap into the cap 

nuff bout that from me ... 

st i want to hear more about what you are doing ... bros
