Cool gravity block,

I do not understand why you posted that here, but, I am glad you posted it.
It certainly belongs on the stubblefield threads.
I will post a quote there.

thank you,

I agree it's not directly related to the joule thief topic but it is related to the general concept. Namely creating a very sudden and strong change in magnetic field/current.

Correct, which could be beneficial in a lot of areas of this forum, including the JT.

@Jeanna:  I posted it here since some have suggested we may not be reaching the maximum voltage and this concept could be helpful in reaching a higher voltage due to the rapid change in the magnetic fields.  It's not my intention on distracting the thread.  My philosophy is not leaving any stones unturned.  Squeeze every bit of energy out of a system with what is currently possible and known.

I agree, especially the way you worded the last part of your post.

"Squeeze every bit of energy out of a system with what is currently possible and known."

Well said.

I apologize for making you sound wrong,
My intent was to jump for joy, because we have been needing this information for a while on the stubblefield threads.

At 1400v, I am happy.
There are more things to do here, but they will take me into many different directions.
Right now, I am focusing on finding a source for the toroids so others can make simple and easy lamps.

Thank you for your input,
