Joule Thief

[MrMag]

Hey:

I am the poster boy for stupid when it comes to electronics.  OK, maybe ignorant is the better word here.  When I started this topic way back when, you will see that I was asking a question.  I have since received many thousand replies to that question.

I can't thank the folks here enough for what I have learned since then.  I now have folks on Youtube asking me electronics questions....imagine that.  I know so much more than I did when I asked that first question about the JT circuit...but I am not done.  Not by a long shot.  As my Dad taught me, the more I learn, the more I realize that I do not know.  Nothing could be more true than that here.  You folks have taken the "simple" JT circuit well beyond anything I could have even dreamed about back then.  And, we are not done.

I do post schematics but, as you have seen, they look more like they were drawn by a drunk 1st grader.  Replication is the key here and I have done it, as have most of you.

Take the Jeanna Light for a great example.  First, we have OUR Jeanna who has developed this circuit, with the help of others here, that caught the attention of Lidmotor.  Lidmotor then added his own style to it and made the Jeanna Light.  I then, was able to replicate this circuit ONLY because of the crude but detailed drawings supplied by Lidmotor.  This circuit works.  This is what we have had here and this is what we still need.  Again, a great circuit is just that, but without replications....what is it?

I agree with Mr. Mag, Jeanna and also Gary.  Look what has gotten us to this point.  I see no reason to change that.  Again, replications are the key.  If someone wants folks to replicate their circuit, they NEED to supply ALL of the information needed to do so.

Anyway, that is all I have to say about that. (Forrest Gump)

Well said. Chicken scratch on a piece of paper is better than nothing at all. And YES, replications are the way. A lot of people do not have the exact same components and sometimes this is an advantage.

in all honesty ... 

you all wonder why people be come annoyed ..... 


come on ...  i said there 15 pages of schmetics!  errrrrr.... 

+ golly

it is a darn transistor ...  with 2 diodes .   

im trying to teach the silly ones not stupid ones .!   

i show ALL POTENCIAL POINTS I CAN DRAW POWER FROM !  AND IN ALL MANNERES OF DOING SO ... 



ill sell ya 1 got 200 bucks?   then you scope it mesure it put it IN A TROPHY CASE  throw it out ...  i dont care


if you can not understand what in the hell im showing you ....   pick UP A NEW JOB!

ist!

sorry not to be rude but good grief!  lol 

i have a ground connection ...  i have a pulse wire flyback with a fr306 diode on it  i have another wire to the same tap point from the pulse wire colapse and it has no diode ..  i also have a wire taped to the base flyback and i then have another fr 306 diode off the base  and in my video i demo it ... in the STILLS IN THE VIDEO  YOU SEE THE PLACEMENT OF THE METER LEADS AND THE VOLTAGE THAT CAN BE DRAWEN FROM EACH PLACEMENT!

thank you!

Sorry I annoyed you.

It will not happen again.

Consider me thrown away

I am clearly to stupid for you to deal with

unfortunately I haven't been able to find a 100pf cap,.....

Jadaro
My radio shack sells a pair of them for a buck fifty.
It is called a 101
I hope you can find it.

jeanna
here is the part number...
100pF 50V 10% Hi-Q Ceramic Disc Capacitor
Model: 272-123 | Catalog #: 272-123

GARY ...   unless your the only one that posted such stupid things to my youtube ...  then i probally aint calling you stupid sir my my my

far from it!

anyhow it is the clowns that LOST THERE BALLONS ! I CALL STUPID!   and the silly ones are the ones that do verry little like a few i could mention ... lol

anyhow here is a clear picture as if my videos are not enough.... i will MAKE another video traceing and explaining every single wire and its porpus and its connections ... just so it can be duplicated..

and further more the diodes dont make that much diff..... lol   

so all that is required to duplicate this unit is 2 diodes ...  1 2n3055 can  transistor 1 1" goldmine toroide 2 6" peices of cat 5 twisted wire  and wound on the toroide core ... 

REAL HARD TO DO EH !

EVEN HARDER TO DO AND UNDER STAND HOW AND WHAT IT IS ! EH!

JUST BUILD IT !  YAWN!!!

W

IT IS QUITE CLEAR IF YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND MY WORK ... I M  JUST GUESING HERE IT AINT YOURS ... EH?  ...

LMFAO   RIGHT CUZ ITS MINE .... 

thank you!

I think before anyone duplicates it you should maybe utilize those point to do something. As one of the famous posters here would say, prove me wrong.
