Joule Thief

[dasimpson]

i got to ask ppl are saying they are getting ac from the pickup coil but i get pulsed dc i know this cos an led will only work on way
now if the pickup is wound back over it self then i think ac would happern

Jeanna, Pirate and the rest...

I am wondering if anyone has used a Joule Thief Circuit to charge a Water Capacitor (Stan Meyer Fuel Cell).

Stan Meyer used a High Electric Field ( in water capacitor) along with a little resonance jiggling to split the water molecule.
He also said he let the collapsing magnetic field of a transformer do the work... which of course is what lights the LED in a JT.

Thanks for the input.

In my opinion  there has been  very little  done  with JTs so far that is big enough to do  much of anything with a HHO cell

I do  think that much of what  we have learned here could  be addapted to work on a larger scale.

I am working in that direction ......but I have other projects going  right now.

I have a dozen  or so ideas waiting  to be tried  relating to larger  outputs.

For a start  I bought  a few IGBTs ....... the idea is to make a small JT  then use the output  to drive a larger coil with the IGBT

In theory   you could run  as many IGBTs and  coils  as you needed ......
I am not saying it  will  be over unity.........but like  the  smaller JT it  will  be all about the flyback  pulses..........feed a pulse into the coil......then use the pulse and  the flyback for the output.

Edit

If you are planning  on splitting water a  big JT might  be a simple way to start ........ but from what I  have read running at specific frequencys may be the key.....( didn't Meyer run his units at something like 42KHz ? )........ the frequency of JTs can't  be easily controlled  any change in voltage as the  battery discharges will shift the frequency.

I agree Gary, but if you start with a big battery you will have less alteration as the power goes down.
For example,
In that JT circuit I have that lights 2 LoA bulbs, I tested it and made it work with a AAA, but for long life, I use a D and in fact a pair of D cells, which never seem to wear out.

@Observer,
I think a couple of people have had results, but they have not posted much.
(There might be a thread for HHO from a jtc??)

One was gadgetmall who said he added potassium OH and a jtc and it worked.
I do not recall if it was taken from the C-E or the secondary.
Sucahyo made a few videos showing that the secondary output was making a cloud of HHO bubbles.
There are probably others.

Do you have a set-up to try?

Like Gary, It is on my long list. ,

thank you,

Res and Jeanna,

I was thinking a large JT using a 12 volt battery...
                                                                         charging the water cap to over 1000 volts.

Then playing with the resistance to adjust frequency.
