Joule Thief

Shoot !!!! Sometime today the kitten jumped on the Experiment 2 part two and disconnected the charge bcap SOOOOO. i'll see if it will go O U from the run @1.389 and the charge is @ 1176      This will be a good test as a few milli volts are wasted along with the time . AHHH  its 4:45 start again from here . If it goes to 2.4 to 2.6 i will be very happy ! I think it might !

HI Gadgetmall very interesting about the heater. Even a water heater would work with your circuit you're mentioning? It would be a very good invention man
About the cap can one use a smaller one or a DC one?
Thanks man keep on with the good work.

well gadget ... 


what can i say my good friend you earned all you have discovered ..

a job well done !

this does infact conclude stage1 !

@pirate

I guess you didn't read my previous post on it , i gave more reasons for it ...

Ist and Gadget seem to like the idea.

Look at the post from today , we posted at about the same time , and the page changed .

This would conclude the first chapter , it would also be easier for new comers .

And we could take i little time to re aim and built on the basic idea .

Make it a jt world , lol

I see no reason to start  a new thread.
I do not think anything has changed   just  because we hit a number.

This  thread was to long  to be practical for me to read all the posts when I first started . ...that was over 600 pages ago .  I  do not see  that anything has changed

If  the  idea   is to  make it easier  for  newcomers ......  starting a new thread  only  splits  the areas that they have to search for information in .

I would  suggest   a  new locked  thread ..... a thread  that only " old timers  "  can write in .
I would suggest  that the people that have been here quite   while   try to summerise  what they have learned here ........and  what they  have achieved .
It could be called  a JT primer ........or something like that .
It would  be great to keep it under a dozen  pages  so  everyone  would have the time to read it .

We would need  at least one  good  explanation of how to make a basic  JT ....... then  we could go into  what has been done sense then . Things  such as Jeana's secondarys  ...... and  Bills  earth battery power

I would like to state again I am not suggesting a new  thread for discussions . 
I am suggesting  a thread  for  a condensed  version  of what we have learned .
If  discussions  were allowed  on this thread it would turn into  a normal thread   and  information  would  become  hidden  in the mass of posts .

Hi guruji
               I would say no you cannot use a normal capacitor or anything lower . if your following My experiments they Use a battery capacitor from Maxwell.com called an ultracapacitor . this is the lowest they make in that series . the highest i believe is 3000farads . I have a 1500 farads that will do more than twice the work of the 650farad . So far this is the Strongest capacitor i have ever owned . It is amazing the power it stores . Its so scarry even at 2 volts the current it so high it will burn you if your hands are low resistance or moist (sweaty) . I have already done an experiment with the smaller supercapacitors and they do NOT work in this system . there just too weak for charging .

***update Experiment 2 part two : charge bcap just hit 1.200 and the run bcap is 1.327 as of 5:46 . Its looking good for over the run . I hope .
