Joule Thief 101

[MileHigh]

Brad,

The videos are not incorrect.  Forget about all of that now.

You are on stage now, it's your show.  So either put out and tell us exactly how a Joule Thief works or be a BSer and run away like a coward with all talk no action.

Brad,

At this point the transistor switching ON has been explained.  So forget about the battery voltage issue and please explain to the readers exactly how a regular Joule Thief circuit works.

Now more stalling, no more conditions.  If you continue with that it's going to look like you are stalling and trying to avoid the request.

It's time for you to explain the big picture of exactly how a Joule Thief works.  The floor is yours.

What we had to do first MH,was correct your mistakes in your explanations and video's--so as people can get off on the right foot.

It needs to be made clear that it is not the battery that switches on the transistor once the battery voltage falls below the required switch on voltage of the transistor. The tuning can only start once a  !correct! description is given of the basic workings of a JT(your JT)circuit.

Another thing needs to be explained correctly before we go any further. When you stated-What is not too clear in the video is that all of this needs an initial "kick" to get started.

Not always correct. If the battery voltage is high enough,then the JT circuit will start oscillating as soon as you switch on the battery. If the battery voltage is lower than the required voltage needed to switch the transistor on,then yes,a kickstart is required--a quick emitter/collector short will start the oscillations.

Enough Brad, get on with your show.

I have proven that your videos and explanations are incorrect-others will see this MH,so why try and deny it?.
Speaking of all talk and no action-->where are your JT video's MH ?,i cant seem to locate them

It is very clear who is all talk,and who is all action around here MH-->can you guess what one you are?

So far,i have 377 video's up on youtube of my various projects. This of course dose not reflect the time taken to design and build each project. Then there is the time to shoot each video,convert it to a Jpeg format,and upload to youtube. How many hours in total do you think i have spent doing all this MH,while you sit back in your arm chair,and play God.
Who is the talker,and who is the one performing actions?.
