Second Stage Joule Thief Circuits

broli:

That looks like a nice project.

But man, did you see he is powering it with 12 volts?  Do you know how many 48" tubes you can light with 12 volts using a JT?  A lot more than the one he is lighting that is for sure. (I can light two 48" tubes on 1.5 volts)

My guess is that the Jeanna Light circuit is much more efficient, and maybe even just as easy to make.

so now off of my 12 volt cap stage 2 unit i see no reason i can not plugg this ring into a 75watt 12vdc to 120vac invertor a 15$ unit put a bridge after the 120 vac so its back to 60hzdc  but 120v on the input ... and power 1000w worth of light ..  and still have ....   many amp at 12vdc ....  as it only uses 75 watt for that invertor when you use the bridge you have a 120vdc jt... transformer...  the colapse goes out with the inputted... 

all this from a power can a stage 2 unit and 1 convertor ring and you still have 12vdc 1000amp continous all the time ... 

from 5 1000th per charge cycle to start stage 2 ..... 

see where all my work goes ...  wonderland...

HIGH VOLT FROM 12VDC  500PLUS VOLTS AC  A FEW AMPS ..  12VDC SUPPLY CONVERTOR RING
ITS JUST THE KNOWOLAGE OF THE COILS AND HOW THEY INTERACT!

Here is how you can make cheaply yourself a few supercaps:

They light read and yellow LEDs very nicely for a long time,
if you make them BIG !

lol mr mag  get the wabbit.

Yes, broli,
But if you want some help  I/we are and have been willing to give it.

Please just whenever you get started let us know if you have any problems.
It seems incomprehensible at first, I know, but that is the reason I recommend the makezine video because a video is worth 100,000 words, if you kwim.

Before this thread, I made 3 of these and I would have it all booted up and I put the pieces together and just did one step at a time then advanced the video.
I couldn't do any better myself, which is the reason I don't make a video.

And when you are ready to turn the secondary it will be the second time around, and therefore easier.
Maybe I can make a video for that??

Allright . Thank you for that information. This could one day become useful is they stop selling these high power Bcaps .Hey i'll try this and make one the size of a 5 gallon bucket with a half inch carbon rod for the electrode/ 20,000 farads maybe ? probably not .still a nice project for a winters day.
