Joule Thief

@ xee2

One small step for man one giant leap for the joule thief, I am referring to your experiment using a transmitter coil and a pickup coil, seperated by a distance to transfer electrical energy through a space with out wires.

This is a very big achievement, well done.

FYI
Last night 7pm I hooked a 2.7v @10F maxcap to the .02ma circuit above and this morning it is still lit just as bright.

Hey Stprue! Great work, Can you please post a schematic you used? I want to build one tonight! i think I have all the parts

Thanks!

Thanks. What were the distances?

This is a wireless project I am working on that is using the TDK board. I am only getting about 5" so far.

Wow that looks very nice xee2. i am getting over two foot. I will post some pics tonight. Again i am using 9 volts on the TDK so that could be why. And I am using super small coils.

Nice work,

@Altrez,
very true Altrez, as the voltage goes up the current component falls to levels that are almost impossible to measure.

But, the other day I managed to create a spark gap, I did.

@Jeanna,
You asked me about 6 months ago if I had ever managed to make a fluro glow, as you havent seen any results from one of my JT.
Lets see if my prime time will allow me to post an image or two.

Hey Jim! How have you been? Still working away on your EER?

Nice work on the floro!!!!
