Joule Thief 101

Common words to use for people who 'know' about engines well enough to debate about them is 'burn' and 'detonation'.

Effects of resonance, from what Im seeing so far, can be had in just 1/4 cycle.   When we disconnect input to a coil, the field collapse voltages rise to the freq of the coils resonant freq. So the first spike is at the resonant freq of the coil. If we look closer by changing the time base on the scope, we can see the spike is just the first upward, or downward, swing of the coils resonant cycle.  So we dont have to have full, multiple waves of resonant freq for it to be called a resonance effect.  The effects of it can be had in just 1/4 of the first wave.

This sounds like the nodding duck affirmation club, just believe what you want to believe to make yourself happy.

Excellent!  You've got Spunk!

Rotational Resonance in machinery that is
inherently "unbalanced" can be very "shaky"
itself.  To the point of self destruction on
occasion.

Brad:

If there is "much more research and information on combustion resonance research" then how come the only link you could come up with talked about the undesirable effects of any kind of resonance associated with combustion in a cylinder?  Right now I am suspecting that you tried to find something and thought that you struck pay-dirt, but you didn't really read through it.  I am sure there is a ton of research on combustion in a piston, but you are going to have to prove with good links that there is "combustion resonance research" to convince me.

Thank you for proving my point.

This is not Planet Bizarro and I did not "prove your point."  The burden of proof would be on you to prove your outlandish claims.  Strangely enough, seemingly nobody in the trillion-dollar global electronics industry is drinking the same Kool-Aid as you.  The truth is that you are just cranking out words with no meaning because it feels good.  It's the revenge of the nodding duckie.

This is for all you edgy resonance rebels to draw inspiration from.
