Joule Thief

Use the LED side of an optoisolator like H11D1 for the led?

Just checking in, I haven't been able to do any work because I've been dealing with another problem---looks like FedEx has lost two boxes of a threebox shipment of my test equipment..... grrr... a Tek scope, a good power supply, and a bunch of other gear including a 750 dollar Shimpo optical tachometer.... missing, last seen last week in Ohio and Fort Worth.
One box did arrive safely and intact on Monday. I've been on the phone with FedEx for days, it seems.

Anyhow, great progress! I hope to spend some time on the circuit this evening.

Dude, very weird.  My friend at work was expecting a package yesterday. Fedex. Tracked it today, this package has been doing circles around Florida for days. City to city to town and back around again.  And one of the stops during ring around the oranges, was here, then it went for another trip.

Maybe Fedex is being hacked.

Great job man!  This is great!  I am trying to follow along here but things appear to be moving fast.  I look forward to reading your next results and seeing you videos.  Best of luck to you.

Congrats Gadgetmall!!!   I don't really know what's going on yet but I see you are onto something cool.  Just jumped in here after fighting a computer problem last couple days thanks to MS goons and a corrupted Deepfreeze program.  TG for Linux.   Figures just when all the fun starts my computer breaks - LOL  ....   but I got a couple dozen backup 'puters so no excuse to miss out here.   On to reading what all the excitement is about...

Update @@ My channel . I decided to play with the 3rd modded unit with all caps . And i hoked up a Nimh cell which is charged to 1.497 and declining standing Volts .. This video shows the circuit has in one hour gone full bright leds and charged way beyond any cell battery 1.822 and next video done a few mins later 1.869  . No recovery here because there was no charge on it higher than 1.5 at any time. !!!!!!!!!
post link in a few ..

Damn UPDATE !! it is in a runnaway condition . voltage is shooting up over 4 volts now on a c cell . My god ! . i can't keep up with this in videos . My leds are going to blow . thay are near purple blue and they are white leds

making one more showing that , HOLLY SHHETTT  last video 4.68 on a C CELL !! I am going to have to clip the super cap off . it is starting to puff out.i have got some kind of energy resonance that is way beyond mine or any understanding . . HOW CAN A BATTERY READ THAT HIGH > > I CHECKED IT WITH  TWO GOOD TEST METERS NOT THE CHEAP ONES THAT GO UP IN VOLTS < THESE JUST STOP LIGHTING THE LCD"S AND GIVE AN INDICATION OF LOW BATTERY..

Now that I caught up reading the last few pages I can really saw WOW!!!
  Awesome work!   Just don't run yourself ragged with all the excitement though
I'll be trying this one out for sure.

You might have missed the picture of the two Fedex big rig trailers in the mess of a 100 car pileup they had in Texas just recently.   Maybe that's why TK's stuff and the other guys stuff is missing.   Fedex is probably scrambling to replace stuff or sort out the mess...
