Joule Thief

[topothemtn]

I have a question please.
Can a JT be used with a earth battery?
I ask because my earth battery seems to have a DC voltage and an AC voltage.
Thanks

Hi topothemtn,
Yes.
Bill made a youtube video using his fuji circuit jt. and lit leds also joule thief also bedini on and on...

I have not, but I have very low voltage or amps here... or maybe I have hooked it up wrong!

About the DC and AC:
There appears to be a 0.6-0.9volts DC between the probes and about 8mV AC. I have one EB that has 2 stubblefield generators that gets 45mV-75mV AC.
There is a lot of discussion about this on the Earth battery threads. I don't remember which has the most posts about joule thief right now, but take a look there is a lot going on.

Check a few posts back where I posted links to most of my JT experiments including the earth battery stuff. 

It can be found on this page: http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=6123.10110

Yes, using supercaps you can do amazing things like I did.  it is easy to replicate and not too much money.  A quick recap here.....400 leds from an EB and JT/supercap circuit and a 48" tube from the same set-up.  I also ran an electric Bedini motor from the EB.  Please read most of this topic to see or, at least look back at my post from today where I list all of those aforementioned videos.

Welcome to our group.  You are already thinking along the right track.

Thanks for the feedback Bill. After I posted that I found your post about using an earth battery.

Guess I jumped the gun. LOL

The way I see it is to try and use completly free energy to go thru the JT and make it do useful work.

Just like what you are doing. I have an earth battery going; will now build a JT and see where I can go from there.

I may not catch up with your work but I will be stumbling along somewhere behind you!!!

Thanks again.

Dick:

Thanks.  Here is the deal as I see it.  The EB will put out limited volts and amps as we know how to extract it.  But, this may improve with the research that is ongoing. (I hope it does)  What the JT circuit does, and the supercap addition, is to allow us to capture the high spikes and  make them into usable energy.  Most stuff in modern electronics is designed to filter out spikes as they are not wanted.  In the case of the EB...we want those spikes because I discovered that the supercaps retain these spikes and I can get useful POWER from the EB. 

I would suggest that you also check out the earth battery topics and the earth energy documentation topics as well.

We welcome new folks that come in and maybe have their own ideas of what might work.  we have seen that sometimes, the new folks bring in an idea that we missed and this brings us along to another level.

Feel free to ask any questions that you might have.  The folks here are very friendly and very knowledgeable, and maybe you have an idea we did not think of.

Once again, welcome and, I look forward to reading of your experiments.

Thanks,

Bill
