QuoteI Do use a secondary on all the models ! It runs a 1 watt led all the time and stays lit .It gets BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER as the charge BCAP increases and when i do the bulb trick it gets brighter still then back to about half bright until the bcap charges above  the run and gets brighter and brighter . this is how i can tell its time to cycle when its bright bright and the charge bcap don't need to be higher than 2 volts to do this . more like 1.8 v

This is where you need to make a schematic diagram and post it for any real comments about what you are observing.

Quotewell this circuit will run with as low as 0.5 volts and  probable less than 1 ma . I have one running (JT) at  0.18 v and 0.80 ma running 4 white leds all year long off an aaa rechargeable  so this could be an easy win . we all might be dead by the time it stops IF it stops .

With all due respect you are trying to change the subject.  The point here is that voltage measurements are meaningless as a gauge for the amount of energy in a battery.

Quoteit goes like this 1.3 100% 1.2 90% 1.1 80% 1.0 70%

You are wrong.  Just develop an experiment yourself and run it to check this and you will see that I am right.

DAMN . the circuit IS posted @ overunity prize thread and SECOND STAGE Joule THIEF CIRCUITS > GNITE

@gadget


Albert , don't wast time with him , even if you convince him , a smarter one will come .

The old "don't waste your time" cliche.  Why don't you actually try to say something and join in the debate?  We can always agree to disagree.

Ok before i have a heart attack i agree to disagree Your WRONG ! I have been playing with batteries since they were  zinc carbon  in the 60's . the volts DROP when you use them and so does the percentage . . Have you got a battery ? a resistor  ? a voltmeter ? you do the experiment  as NO ONE will agree with you on that Statement you made about volts staying at 1.3 for its entire life or 20% . PLUS you can't conceive evev to mention the bcap to bcap experiments . You Avoid them . I think i'll go strictly with bcap to bcap and forget batteries. Then what  ?
