This is another practical application for the JT circuit.  It is helping my Mom recognize that her door is locked and the battery life so far is fantastic.

I have not had much time to do much of anything in the way of experiments lately but finally, I was able to make this short video.

Excellent work Bill... Well done. Merv

Merv:

Thank you, I really appreciate that.  It is simple, and it works.

@all,

I have uploaded a new video on youtube showing my new circuit.
The COP calculation i made using the measurements that i took in the video came out to be 1.42 at that time. Normally this would be well over 1.5 but 1.42 isn't bad also i think.

Maybe you guys have some ideas or comments for me.

Good idea for your mother to remember.

You must have more patience and wait for the meter to stabilize, then jot down exactly the number shown.

Keep the good work.

Thank you for your comment.
I'll attach some clips to the meters probe so i won't have to hold them in my next video.
