Joule Thief

[dasimpson]

hi jenna i just read someware that you have a 24 led medside light and that it had been runniung for one month and was expecting it to last about 6 month

this sounds amazing could you explain how exactly you managed this pls
the one i have should manage 100 hours acording to power draw etc real world i seem to get 10 hours maybe my batterys ant fully charged or holding charge like they should but a month is just wow

[dasimpson]

something just downed on me if we go to big with this 
wouldent we be creating a repertive emp bomb of sorts

[dasimpson]

i just got to page 1233 and wow ist finerly did something right now if this dose work then he may of done it (dont belive i said that withh all truth he needs a stray jacket and a padded cell but thats a diff story)

if the video head pulse motor can be replicated i belive it can be easy done i will try my sefl when i find the parts needed

now from what i worked out
one coil works as a dynimo putting vac a bridge then turns this into vdc into a cap ready for the reed switch to send power to the electromagnet to send the pulse needed to repel the roter(fly wheel)

now may take a bit of tuning and wheel a few coil winds to figure this out but wow it could work

now what if we adderd a 3rd coil to charge a battery etc
now this with jennas jaw dropping lamp from a jt i belive lighting a house has been solved

let me know if any one else can see if or can attempt it

Greetings,

Update on the Penny Pill Jar JT which has been running strong for 8 or so days.

               1.  I put a (100uf) across the Batteries (two .6 Volt Penny Pill Jars in Series) and it made the Led Brighter.
                    - the Pill Jars have...   a Bolt in the middle---> covered in Paper Towel--->Surrounded by 50 Pennies---> Immersed in water.

               2.  I made a Nantucket Nectar Bottle Cell... does put out same Voltage...and maybe double the Amps.
                   - I made it with a Longer Bolt and about 500 Pennies.
                   - The Pennies are new ones... so they are only coated with Copper ;o/... Zinc is on the inside.
                   - I also found out that the Steel Bolt is coated with Zinc.

              3.  I discovered the Batteries run best filled about 10% to 20% with Tap Water. (Haven't done any acids in the water)
                  - So capillary action keeps the Towel wet above the water line. (batteries are Upright.. had them on the side for awhile)

A few more small improvements and the Penny Pill Jar Lamp will be a certain reality. ;o)   (see above)

this is just an idea but could you use a peace of copper pipe with plastic stop ends and thread the zinc bar thru both ends and see what you get from that white viniger at a 50 50 mix could work very well
