Joule Thief

[gadgetmall]

Good Grief your still up too   Its not hard to do pirate , really man . I would like to share this but i want someone else to get this Done . I have a feeling Jesus will be the one . This  Light required no special parts at all . i can tell you that it uses electrolytic capacitors and three diodes and a toroid bead and a mspa06 transistor . I hate to keep being the one who is always saying It selfruns . This is why i decided to share the Big boy with you guys . Groundloop will make it run like i did . I know he will and that prove i am not a quack . i feel it every time i post something no one has ever seen but me  . anyways i still cant sleep . probably get a cup of hot chocolate and  browse the I net . //

Opps forgot and made coffee instead  o well .

well done, you are far more exciting than Steorn. I have enjoyed following this thread over the last few months and have nothing but praise for the team work showed here.
Although I am a skeptic by default, I have no doubts about what you have demonstrated on your video's.
Once again well done and thanks for restoring some faith.
Could I suggest you use some newer batteries just to see what it does, Ie maintains the voltage(no need to increase) and possibly increase the load (a few more leds)
just suggestions rom a curious onlooker.

Hi . mark yes i tried new batteries .It stays the same brightness and never changes . the Batteries just get higher . 1.7 volts is the highest i caught . Thats high for an cheap dollar store battery to get that high . anyways the device is tuned to a very low oscillation it is pulsing slow . you can see this by waving the light slowly in front of your eyes and the light appears as dots . Now we all know that our jt lights are pulsed and you have to swing the lights very fast to see any pulsed dots but this one you just move it  say from left to right like you are going to  pat someone on the back and see the light pulses . this is producing some strong Bemf going that slow of an oscillation and the slow pulses do not light the light very bright but i still can see in the dark with it fine. This one stays in the display cube just another showpiece to my  accident collection Thanks

Not to waste too much bandwidth.
I am showing the J type 2 1/2" toroid lighting a 7w fluorotube.

This was a big flaky fight.
The secondary output was 4v yesterday and I removed about200 turns or more before it looked like anything, then whenever I breathed on the primary or secondary the voltage jumped to over 400, sometimes over 700v.
So, I knew it was there, but for some reason I could not make it settle.
It was very neat at its worst, and it seems to be better with a little more space.
I remember Gary has said this over and over.
It makes me want to find out if gary's toroids are J type too.
(he uses the 5/$1.)
This is only a little less permeability as numbers go.
It seems very significant.

Oh also, I thought it might be a problem with the breadboard so I did a 'daftman' style board and clipped the movable parts. This did help, but it did not solve the problem, so I conclude it was not the breadboard.

Anyway, for your entertainment, I post a pic.
I will not be using this J type.
Next I will do the same with the W type which you can see on the left getting ready to try out.

thank you,

jeanna

Congratulations!!!

Just dont fight the battle of the patent. Post a schematic for the forum members to replicate and because not everybody likes to build it themselves you can sell kits of it on your website and get as rich as you posibly can.

It does not matter. The world is so big and there are so many people in it that always you will have some people to sell a kit to and your table wont be empty never.
