Joule Thief

@drodenbe

Thank you for the great photos and I admire your nice lab equipment. I like your winding over the super capacitor. I have big electrolytic capacitors and will try a winding over one of them.

Attached see photos of the coil I made today. It took me about 4 hours. Tomorrow I can do the first tests (have to do some chores now).

Greetings, Conrad

P.S.: Once I have tested your Joule Thief. I will start a thread for the pulse motor you mentioned. At the moment I want to replicate your Joule Thief results.

nice job on the coil.  It is great to see how someone else may do a job differently.  Get some great ideas. Like  (why didn't think of that?)

I have tested the super cap Idea and so far it is a flop and could have a place in my looks nice but don't work pile. 

I have since gone back to my original coil and it will run the circuit and charge its self but not another battery on the chg winding.  I noticed this the other day and seamed to have something do do with the time of day!  Don't know.  Seams goofy but I have seen something like this before in other projects using radiant energy.  Will let run and see if it will do better on charging secondary battery later tonight.  Was working this morning early. I start my day at 3:00 am so was ok then before I disconnected.  If it starts working I will momentarily hook up super cap coil to see if there is any change.  My friend said this morning that his was doing some things it didn't do last night.  He starts at around 9:00 am so I am not sure if it is the time of day,  when that problem starts.  Will keep an eye on results and time of day.

EWay back in 2011, I tested a slayer coil  25 by 100 mm   26 awg  and 9 t  23 awg  on the primary and just placed it on top of the car battery 12 v 70ah  I will discharge the battery up to 12.4   and leave the coil connected the whole night with it energized and with one 10 w lamp load
the next morning   my battery read 12.95 ..... and did it for 5 days and same result.......
no other load is connected or used for this battery ( 2 years old )
in the energetic forum. I remeber also if its Xee2 or somebody else   placed a plate at the sides of the battery without any connection and there was voltage reading on it
you can try also re emf by rene on batteries

  To take only voltage reading on these types of tests is only part of it. The current levels are really the ones that will show the batteries draining, or charging levels.
  A car battery can read 12v, and not start the car, so current readings are needed as well.

  Totoalas: so you are saying that with the circuit connected to the car battery, it ran the 10w bulb all night for 5 nights, and the car battery did not get dis-charged, but was charged up, slightly instead?  How come you are not using that system now, if it worked so well for you? 
Any pictures or videos of that set up?   Sounds like it's right up my ally...

I stopped the tests   as it was a fluppy charge or just a chemical reaction taking place ......there was a discussion on the EF   slayer thread and I think somebody  commented on this also that it may be the night time cycle .....
I ll check again in the thread
