Well if you put another  non magnetized item near the core while its pulsing, the item would vibrate if the core is leaking what the tcoil is producing.
Vibrating a magnet near the pulsed tcore will happen whether the tcoil flux is leaking or not, due to the tcore pulse changes affecting the near field of the magnet that engages with the tcore.

Indeed!  That's the simplest way to evaluate that claim, isn't it?

Hello ALL,

Just a couple of quick updates.  I built my new circuit to run the SSG3 on 1.5 volts, but it is not enough voltage.  I then bumped the input voltage to 3 .2 volts and the output was a bit better.  I am thinking that it may need 4.5 to 6 volts to operate at peak.  My circuit resistance is a bit high, unfortunately, with toroids and biases.

Still about 1/2 of what I was putting into it, wattage wise.

I will let you all know how it goes.

I have come up with an interstingly simple idea that I am going to test.  There is certainly something interesting to be said for using air gaps to switch or control flux from a magnet.  So I said to myself, all night, how can we use this information to create a way to make and break an air gap electronically to act as a switch for our flux from the magnet that would cause it to flow in and out of our pick up coil.  And then about 30 minutes ago, I hit upon this seemingly very simple idea.  I wonder if it will work!

@ Gyula
I added 4.4 uF worth of Caps in series with my load, a small 28 v 40 ma bayonet bulb.  It certainly helped, and increased my over all amperage output reading.  (Back when I was running on 12 v)

I am still waiting for my L Meter.  I can't wait to get it in, and we can start doing some things with resonance, etc.

Cheers,

Bruce

There is a 555 circuit which should give inductance measurements from a standard DMM. From the Yahoogroup Electonics_101. Do you
want it dug up?

Hi Paul-R,

Thank you, but I will wait.  It should be here very soon.  I will be on vacation Mon-Thurs and it should be here on my return. 

Happy Sunday ALL,

Well, a little more good news this afternoon, has encouraged me greatly.  It seems that my old circuit works on both two D-Cells or three D-Cells.  My new circuit sucked down the amps with very little to show for it.

I now have three choices for input, when testing the electronic make and break when that time comes.  Below are the following Stats: (all current measurements taken with an analog multimeter)

Input choice 1:
12 volts
.170 ma
2.04 watts

Input choice 2:
4.5 volts
.030 amps
0.135 watts

Drops SSG3 output by only 4 times, but is 15 times less input.

Input choice 3:   
3.2 volts
.010 amps
0.032 watts

Amperage out actually nearly doubles but volts out drops to .61 --  Drops total output by 1/2 but has 64 times less input... 

Next, I will do several things.  Play with resonance, and replace D-Cells with rechargable D-Cells.  Then I will build a recharging battery circuit to go with the set up.  It is experimental and was drawn up for me by Alex.  I have already ordered all of the parts and they have already arrived...   I was waiting to drop the input first, and I feel I have done that.

Oh, one more strange note....I wound and added a "Markov Transformer" in series with my circuit a few days ago.  With it, input drops while not affecting output.  Without it, input goes way up.  Easy to see now, playing with lower inputs.

Any of you still thinking this is a Joule thief, just remember, that all of this work has been to "optimize" and tune the circuit, since it is only switching at 70 Hz aprox.  I know for a FACT that when the switching increases, current and voltage will rise.  I am looking forward to switching soon, in the KHz ranges or higher.  That will be the moment of truth.  But, before then, I still see areas of improvement that I have mentioned above.

Circuit below is still the one I am going to go with, with all three input choices to experiment with!

Cheers,

Bruce

Evening ALL,

Last post for a few days and then I will be back on it...

I wanted to leave you with a couple of pictures.  First is of SSG3 with wooden spacers to provide air gaps.  It reduced input power, while allowing for greater output power.

The next two are of my input current.  Each line on the scale is .5 x10 ma.  I am at 1.5 lines. 

So my earlier power input was too high...   It should be the following:

3.2 volts
0.0075 amps
0.024 watts  (This is the number to beat!)

Cheers,

Bruce
