Joule Ringer!

Folks,

Here are some ebay offers for ferrite rods:

Here is one of two  E=core transformers on 2.5 volts . http://youtu.be/ogTlIlkzYaA

I am Doing a Drain test on an ultracap . so far 38 hours lights a cfl dim but current drain is little . It is hooked up like a JT so it is not a joule ringer .

about 5000 winds #36 and another 2000 winds same direction and another 30 turns bell wire on the outside . I am using the 2000 and the 30 for the jt with a 2n3055 . the 5000 winds will bite hard built the low frequency i have it running faintly lights a clf . it will run an led bulb bright at 1.5 volts . I will make a video on that later .

Waiting for my golden rods that cost a fortune (credit)

Thanks for the links Gyula !! I might get some if some one else tried it first . I want exactly what LS used because the ferrite also have permeability ratings .. Different core might be the difference between a good ferrite ring and a metglas one . big difference//possibly .

I want to see a filament light up with a 1.2 volt battery like he did . if it will do that i am looping it .

Good work, NickZ and others, too!

What happens to that wave form if you put a smoothing cap in there? Will it clean that signal up and make it less dirty?

Here you go:

 Ahh that is on the output? Strange how the pulse is still there in the middle of the waves. My thinking was to put the cap on the output to smooth the output wave and make it look more like a sine wave.

Second question what does it do to the load now with the cap there?

Hi . Well While i am waiting for my golden rods i  do have a 6 inch long rod about 3/8 diameter  .
Couldn't resist .
IT WORKS ! ! Lights that 60 watt Filament right up on 12 volts but the 2n3055 gets smoking hot soooo... it does work but eats amps .Draws almost 3.4 AMPS  and the 60 watt bulb is not fully lit  .also tried a microwave oven bulb and it is still not fully lit . if you disconnect the bulb the coils are open so the circuit shuts off .This needs another transformer in series . i will try tomorrow .
That is a hell of a lot for a battery pack. I think it needs more than 200 windings soooo will try 400 to 600 and see if the same light lights but drops those amps and cools down. I also tried the collector and emitter reverse . maybe just a bit less like 3.3 amps draw .. It will not light a cfl . It will light led bulbs so the current is there but the high volts to light cfls is not. It also will not light an unmodified one either .One mod i tried to reduce the  base voltage and current was put a pot between the base and coil . It Smoked it in a flat second and burnt out like i plugged  it in a wall outlet . It needs more turns either  on the primary or the secondary to cool this sucker down running Incandescent bulbs . The lowest i could make a  filament glow  was 3.5 volts at 1.1 amps ..about 10 mins of testing and My Hi amp 13.5 volts battery pack needs recharging again .
I recommend a fan cooled heat sink for this circuits transistor and a car battery with this one .

Very nice none the less . thanks lasersaber for your sharing this cool circuit .
