Joule Thief

[xee2]

@ all

Here is a new circuit I have developed that will light a fluorescent tube as bright as a regular Joule thief using only one half the power. Using a 3 volt battery the tube is much brighter and will light when only connected with one wire (not as bright with just one wire). This is just the original circuit, I think the power can be reduced even more by optimizing the component values. I also think it will work with a smaller coil, but I have not tried that yet. It should also work better if a higher gain PNP transistor is used.

jeanna
very interesting design there... ( TOWER of POWER )

ist
well done bro
is the feed back just a diode or is it filtered back with a cap
i had a circuit almost self run once 25-30 seconds .. got me excited and it died
i was using a inductor and diode back to a run cap on input

hey ya bro

i have MANY WAYS I will test out to day ...  but what you explain is close to what i have done ...

i worked on it most of the night

i tryed it on other batteries to see it was not a fluke ...

it does work this way but a BAD way to do it ... as it will change its tune as voltage increases ..

this is what happined ... in the SUPER RECHARGE UNIT .. I FIRST TRYED AND reported back!

it filled the 1.2vdc rechargeable in record time ...

i have been LOOKING AT THE SMALLEST OF DETAILS ...

basically im getting to the POINT  WHERE MY COIL DOES NOT MATTER! 

: ) 

I WILL CONTINUE TO SHARE ... 

for only those with eyes to see...

i have improved the set up by adding another step


on the off cycle i have 3 meters 1 mesures driveing battery next super cap .. next feed back battery bank ...


here are a few pics of the meters device is on off cycle / recharge!

thease are the standing voltages as the cap and bank drain back to source ... source climbs as it should ...

thanks for peeking!

ist!

voltages as it sits are  db 1.285 
super cap                       3.43
bank                              4.99

the last 2 drain till they can push no more ...

im still changeing things to find the BEST WAY!

i have been looking for 1 of my mk1 mods to improve out put! 

cant find it yet ...  but i will ....

You could try using a Darlington pair, pnp, if they make such a thing.

Hello Every one . Is everybody Into the new 2010 Spirit ? Free energy Year 4 sure . Hey it is supposed to SNOW tomorrow . We are Excited ,me and my snow baby A . For the past 4 years we get excited everytime they say. Its goinf to snow tomorrow Never does and usually only a dusting but i really think it will happen this time . Well look what the UPS man drugg up to my door step . Is that aZBig coil or what . No its 10 pounds of #20 Essax wire . A full spool i won for 20 bucks !! .Dirt Cheap and enuff wire to wind thru this winter and thenext and thenext . O fun !  ..

Cheers everyone . Be happy .

Still waiting for the "magic boards" from GL so nothing but some time on my hands playing with Lidmotors fan coil magnet spinner . Fun !
