Joule Thief

[jeanna]

Hi everybody,
Here is the latest video.
This is the 4th and final for a while.
I had a happy surprise this week while filming this.
It stopped me for a while, but the video is now finished.

Of course, there will be more, but for now on the joule thief ,
I believe this is it, until I make more progress.
=====
I just removed it.
It got compressed at the wrong level and the quality was terrible.
I will upload the proper version tomorrow and provide a link.

   As good as it is, there are a few things that you can do that will crank up the speed too. See the link below. I have used them and they work.

   Just to let you know, that page does load a lot of stuff, pics and things.  Just fluff tho.

Thank You All.

I never left just been busy working.
But I still been reading up in this thread.

Great work everyone.

ITS asked me for a circuit here it is.

The capacitor I have grounded out on a metal shelf for an earth ground.
The battery negative is going to an earth ground a coper pipe about 2' in the ground.

If you use an earth ground for the cap. dont use the same earth ground.
Use a differant earth ground a little ways away from the other.

Slayer007 have you tried using a supercap or maxcap instead of a battery?

@ slayer007

Is anything on the shelf plugged into a wall socket. If so, maybe the shelf is connecting to earth ground through the wall socket. Have you checked the resistance between the shelf and your earth ground?
