New Jewel Thief "Resonate LCR Circuit" Much less energy draw....

@ sirmikey1

xee2,

   Thank you so much for your mods to the chilliqueen JT circuit. This has really made a world of difference for me, independent secondary(s), A/C.  Chilliqueen contacted me earlier, wanted your mods; and I also sent them to Jeanna  

SM

I am glad I was some help. Please post your results when you get parts to build your circuits.

Udate on the original chilliqueen Joule thief. I have the regular JT running with the Chilliqueen on the same AA battery for days now, and the Chilliqueen died out while the regular JT is still very bright.  Obviously takes more energy to oscillate,  or may be the cap.  Xee2's mods may be different.

Also, I found ferrite toroids on mouserj.com:

61mm for $5 and 23mm for 75cents with no minimums.

Pushing it to the limits. This circuit uses only 0.1 mA to blink a neon or LEDs. A 1.5 volt "D" cell flashlight battery is rated at 12,000 mA-hr. Dividing 0.1 mA into 12,000 yields a run time of 12000/.1/24/365 = 13.7 years. Of course the battery will probably leak before that. Three videos of this circuit on YouTube at:

EDIT: If using LED also use a 1N4007 diode in series with the LED to prevent the LED from being damaged by the reverse voltage.

zee2,

  Good work!

   Watching Jeanna's many secondaries video, it just occurred to me, a solid state motor / generator.   Three phase a/c Joule thief set up and running circles like a three phase motor armature on a torroid and then the outer pickup coil (secondary) wrapped around the whole thing.  Steven Mark?

xee2,

EDIT: chilliqueen circuit is no joule thief.  Stopped around 5am today, and the Joule thief is on the same battery  and still going, . Still going fairly strong.  Chilliqueen is obviouly not pumping kicking out the Joules 

  Jeanna's getting 170volts from her little torroid.  Lid says he's pumping that A/C into a rectifier, and then puts it across a spark gap to pulse an ignition coil;;; and this is creating monster sparks.  Thick Spikey thorny sparks. 

   The heavy sparks are probably good for the big stuff; motors and heating.     

   Reminds me of Steven Mark videos, he was inserting a little button cell battery to kick it off
