Joule Thief

[MrMag]

ok i have been unable to recharge my aa's properly as i cant find the wall charger .. 

IST, Thanks. That's the best line I've heard for a long time.
All the devices you have built and can't find the wall charger to charge your batteries.
Think about it, It's hilarious.

Thanx for the laugh, I really needed that.

You may do that , but i can help ...
I also started a tread for it , feel free to ask questions.

Hi everyone !

Hi Mark.  I will probably have lots of questions. But I am also reading your thread and that is also answering questions. I want to apply JT circuit or something like your winding idea to my Newman motor I am building.  Not sure how yet, but I need to focus on build my third one, so the question will come later.  Thanks for sharing your idea(s).

I tried measuring the pins, but this transformer is a bit weird.  Pictures below:
but I am only getting like .1 to .2 ohms between the pins even between the first and last pin on the 6 pin side.
I am not sure what the big white coated wire is exactly.

That looks like an interesting  coil
I am guessing that the white wire is high voltage.........

a fraction  of an ohm  would be about right  for the low voltage side......... some of he  coils I  have wired as JTs had at least one winding  with only 8 turns.

CHeck  for continuity between the different  connection points.
If you  can  find  3 pins  that  all  have continuity  you probably have  a winding with a center tap ...... This can be used  as your JT  primarys.

I  am guessing that the side  with  3 pins is the high  voltage side........check  these for continuity  with the white wire.
If  you have  continuity with one or more of them ........and  the resistance is  quite a bit higher than the other  side........you have a secondary .

If that is  high  voltage insulation on the white wire ...... and you start  with 12 V  I am betting you will get over 1000V out.......

Using  12 V I have got  250 V out of a small transformer with no  secondary

: )

lol

this little cridder works KICK ASS!

: )

and the charge remains in my rechargeables ..  i have recharged bout 5 of em now ...  still useing the dead battery to run it ..

i found to just leave it with out pulseing it works well too!

W

i wonder if non rechargeables will work for translators? if they do may be able to get around the super caps to catch the good stuff!
