Joule Thief 101

[resonanceman]

Is this really 101?

Jeanna

Yes    that is the name .

If it ends up meaning  anything depends on the whole  group

It may look like  I am  only trying to show  people what I have done .
That is not the point .
The  reason for  this  thread is to try to  get people up to speed .
I can not teach  people what I do  not understand .

I can show people what  I know and  try to get them to think ......that is the  best I can do.

If this  thread is  to be of any real help to  others   we  will need  others  to share  some of what they know ......  Others  have did many things  I have not done .........I will  not  try to explain any of those things because I do not   understand  them  well enough .

Edit

for  this  thread   to  be of much help we will also have to keep the posts like this one to a minimum.   
Most of the posts  should  have the intent of  helping someone  understand  something about   a JT better .
