Joule Thief

   A bridge rectifier is used if the output is ac.  I dont believe you have ac coming out of the jt.  You really need an oscilliscope to look at the type voltage you are putting out.They arent cheap so that is why I suggested the bulbs.  The incandescent bulb actually emits infrared emwave energy that stimulates argon gas into emitting visible light em waves.  But for true power readings you need to measure the magnetic field flux changes around the resistor also.  You can see how complicated this begins to get.  The argon gas doesnt convert all the infrared so now you need to do caloric analyses of the output also.

The day has come! Merry Christmas!  Soon to be a new you. ( all of you )!

It's nice to read productive posts lately, much is being said.

But your measurements show the Fluke having ~ 100 ohms, when we know it really has 5.6 ohms, so somethings wrong. It's very possible the Fluke is expecting only DC without any AC. Try connecting your fluke (while in DC milliamp mode) to an AC generator (no DC) to see if you fool it into thinking there's DC.

I've posted here:http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=8523.msg217299#msg217299...you may find it interesting, if you want to help or anyone else for that matter.

Thanks for your advice 'sparks'...at some point I may accumulate enough knowledge to go off and try something wacky again.

Will google 'Aharanov-Brohm effect' for later review this eve.
