I looked for your Christmas tree last year but could find it Bill.

Al:

I just went back and added 2 photos to my last post of 300 leds and then 400 on my tree.

Merry Christmas

Bill

Thats the ones . Man Vortex(farra ? )and MH are True Slackers . They have No idea whats going on here at Ou and the amount of work that Has been done and it being done . If they are so smart why do they keep repeating crap we did years ago? Cause they are Slackers ,bums .Ou haters . Scrooges and a few more nasty names i invented for people i don't like . 

Merry Christmas OU  Experimenters !! We have a Great NEw Year Comming  Up and It will surPRIZE everyone !

No it isn't a pure FE device. Don't know what you are using to light your lights, you do not say, only imply, maybe some secondary effect like solar, wind or captured radio waves. Somebody paid for it usually in the manufacturing costs of the transducer, then it is either free or intercepted.

Even if it is from nearly dead batteries that the JT scavenged a few extra joules, somebody initially paid for the batteries.

if he didn't pay, it was free to him. all of your elaborate euphemisms and moving of the goalposts don't change that fact. ie: if someone buys a solar cell and gives it to me, it didn't cost me a dime, it was free to me, and that's what matters, the bottom line so to speak.

what kind of twisted logic are you trying to applying here? if you are going to argue... at least present a cogent one.

Put up or shut up, Albert. Enough of the BS already. Show your circuit that lights many watts of tree lights for free, and save the world, be a hero.

indeed enough of the bullshit, it's in the jt thread that you mental giants refuse to read...

I do agree with Wilby on at least one point....the big bang does appear to be "big bogus". There are several competing theories. This one is acceptable because it doesn't rattle the church's belief systems.

i never said it was bogus, don't go putting words in my mouth that i haven't said. i'll repeat it again since you seem a little slow on the comprehension. the big bang theory is an extraordinary claim which has never required extraordinary evidence,

I'm willing to place a bet that I was building and optimizing JT circuits before Albert was born......any takers?

i'm willing to bet you will avoid doing so, just like you avoided answering my last pointed question and responded instead with a red herring logical fallacy. in your own words, put up or shut up. answer my previous question and post your 'optimized' jt circuit...

Around 1956 at age 10, I was given a personal tour of the Philco Transistor Plant in Lansdale PA. Back then they were manufacturing point contact and surface barrier type transistors. I witnessed firsthand the Czochralkski method of growing germanium crystals and all aspects of transistor manufacturing.

I was already building transistor circuits at this time since the CK722 and CK709 had become available to experimenters for around $0.99.

I was pleased to be given a small bag full of the Philco germanium transistors various types...I still have a few. One of the bright engineers from the Philco operation volunteered his time in the evenings to teach me and a few friends in the neighborhood the ins and outs of applying transistors.

I built many JT type oscillators in that time period and rather enjoy to this day seeing how much I can get from a single transistor circuit.

There is a way to optimize this single transistor circuit you call the Joule Thief....we called it the blocking oscillator. Perhaps when the signal to noise ratio improves on the forum I will post it.
