Joule Thief

[Mk1]

@To all the radio experts

Any of you have idea on making a tuned antenna , to pickup the waves from the jt , I know any radio can do it , but if we could cap those radio waves ...

Now i remember seeing a jt with an electric guitar , you could really hear some crazy stuff..

I have a guitar pickup to make some test , i will post.

Has anyone developed a solid theory on the voltage oriented illumination of LED's?

I know we've proven it, practically, by lighting hundreds of LED's with an under rated current, but do we have an explanation?

It seems reasonable to say that all we need is the voltage rating of the LED to be overcome and not necessarily the the current.

Is it possible that those 6 Watt LEDs with the heat sinks may not need the heat sinks when lit as we do?

Jadaro:

I think that is entirely possible about the 6 watters.  Same reason we don't need that ballast nor the filament wire when we light the tubes and the tubes never get hot.  I would hate to be wrong and fry one of those 6 watt leds though.

thanks j

gadget

the apms are 1mhz to 1 ghz ... 

3 are listed now ...  but they dont have this gold in them

but are still powerful ..

there a few grand new .. im selling for what ever if you want 1 it is your FOR FREE  gadget ...

i do have quite a few platuim pins too as i discover ... maybe 1/2 oz...

check you junk  .. you never know what you will find ...  looks like im gonna have a few pounds ... perhaps more than a few

like i said i have hundreds .. each has min 1/2 oz  inside them ..  thease are smaller amps ..  there like booster amps ... 

peace world

agin i do apoligize for my un happy time ..

if this is infact  100% true i will have a large gift for you sir!

in my understanding you need to have a verry high quality connection when working with rf ..

why gold is first choise ..  i bend it easy  it is soft it is heavy  and it looks like gold  some of the gear i have is at least 20 years old   

some of the new stuff only a few years old ..  but it all still works the exact same ..

it is safer for me to take them apart opsoed to fire them up and cause problems ..

About 10 months ago on this thread someone better informed than I described this.
We are not really using these like diodes.
There is some directionality, but mostly what we are doing is exciting the phosphors of the phosphorus base paint they put on the blue led.
This makes it white, but it also makes it  a super bright and it now has the characteristics of a fluorescent bulb.
This is the reason the high voltage works on our secondary circuits.
There are none of those things called amps, which is the wrong name anyway.
The thing that is lighting the leds is not current.
My experience more and more is making me sure of this.
I gather you too are approaching some unusual conclusions about it.

Also, they are cool.
Nothing ever heats up from the secondary.
[Now, the folks using feedback into batteries and transistors have all kinds of heat, but if you keep it all on the secondary side of the toroid, you will never need a heat sink.]

These are some of my conclusions.
