Joule Thief

[Farrah Day]

Seems to have been some changes around here but this should not detract from experiments as some of you are clearly doing some very interesting work with the JT.

Perhaps PirateBill has gone because he has overstepped his mark. Moderators should not be allowed to simply delete any post that they so choose to at will, whether they agree with what has been said or not. It would also be useful to have a moderator with a background education in science on such forums and not simply an open mind. I'm somewhat abrupt and say what's on my mind, but then pay for this by promptly getting my post deleted by Pirate Bill. This is not right, as it does not address the balance of play.

I'm not at heart a troublemaker or troll as some say, but I do harbour a healthy scepticism and do not suffer idiots gladly.

People like Jeanna clearly work hard, putting time and effort into experiments and also have a good understanding of what's happening. However, others like IST (the being from another world â€" his own words, not mine) don't have a clue and do more damage to this forum than good.  I guess most of you have a much greater tolerance for stupidity than myself, but why PirateBill would delete my posts (as I knew he would) and allow IST to post ‘star maps’ and other such continual utter bullshit, is mystifying.

Why anyone tolerates the nonsense IST continually spouts is quite beyond me. Without his nonsense these threads would be far more compact, far more on topic and kept relatively real. With IST around, science does not get a look-in, which is a real shame for those of you putting in the time and effort and getting real results.

I would love to join in on this thread and converse sensibly with the likes of Jeanna, but I could never politely put up with the frequent interruptions of nonsensical IST posts. And yes, I know it's not particularly polite to call him ‘Inexplicably Stupid’ as I tend to do, but give a girl a break, I'm only saying what everybody else knows but are too polite to say. And I can be as rude as he is stupid!

Intelligence and common sense go a long way. Throw in a bit of education and this forum could be good. However, while moderators allow the likes of IST to post his garbage, members whose input could be really beneficial in moving the science forward will simply steer clear, deeming the place to be an absolute madhouse!

@FD

If you stop calling people stupid and lunatics maybe then your post won't get deleted......
stupid this stupid that stupid ist... boehoehoe....

I'm sorry this is my first post. I had to read some 1000 pages 
When I first made a JT I noticed that there was some great potential in it. so I started looking and building. Finally i came here.

Got a JT with a speaker magnet core and can be connected to a USB port.
So I can use a cheap solar phone/ipod charger or just hook it up to my PC. Just now I'm Charging a Big 12V 400A batt. With this JT i can charge all my batts that I got.

Last couple of days I've been fiddling with gadget's circuit. I don't have the big Ultra's. (maybe in some appliances i have, still looking ) But i have a 5V 1F ultra cap and I put a solar panel garden light circuit with it.

The Run batt is a 1.2V 750 mAh and is still running at 1.257V
I started at 1.297V but first i didn't got the solar circuit and needed to tune it. now its resting at  1.255 -1.267


Thanks for all the long nights reading and reading

Made me a new coil. Still thinking how i should run it.

GrtZ and keep on building

@ Jeanna and ALL

Hi xee2, He did. He asked me to deliver it.
I apologize for being so terse.

@All,
here are 2 emails  Bill sent me. I am sorry.  Every time I pm'd Stefan, the messages went right to this jerk.  So I am done.  I wiped everything out on my account including moderator status.

=====
Jeanna:

I have already deleted everything and asked Stefan to remove the rest.  The last request I sent in an e-mail to him.

Could you please let the others know what happened here?  Gadget, Wilby, Jim, Mk1, and the rest of the gang?

I will still be posting on youtube with videos.

Again, I am sorry but Stefan sided with this clown so I was left with no choice as I see it.

And to think, when Stefan asked me if he should put him on read only, I said no.  So much for diplomacy and trying to be nice about things.  Wibly will be pissed because poynt tried to have him banned, and I stuck up for Wilby with Stefan.

Oh well.

Thanks Jeanna.
I dare say it will be more than wilby.

I also have had a PM from Bill, and I before any of the new bies say who is this electricme, go back a ways and you will see my posts, so I think I am suitably qualified to post this post as a member and in this manner.

@ Bill,
It was with great shock I heard about what you have been put through, to think someone would steep so low to gain control of a forum in a most devious way is deplorable, and desspeakable.
The person who contemplated this act is worthy of "nothing, zero, zilch", how could anyone dream up a plan and carry it out.
Only the person who has no conscience.



BILL I will shout this to all who read this.

YOU ARE WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE GIANTS OF OVERUNITY (Stefan take notice please)

BILL, YOU ARE SEEN NOT ONLY IN OVERUNITY AS A GIANT, BUT IN OTHER FORUMS I HAVE VISITED, THOSE WHO KNOW YOU SPEAK VERY HIGHLY OF YOU.

I see a snake in the grass who has knifed you in the back.

BILL, HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH MATE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
YOUR INTREGRITY WITH THOSE WHO KNOW YOU IS ABOVE REPROACH

Regards from us all and congrats for making OU JOULE THIEF forum the most enjoyable forum on OU

@Mannix

I would like to add my appreciation to the research and ides exchange that has happened here.

These circuits are very interesting and just happen , to look exactly like the torrid in the FTPU and others.

I could mention that blocking oscillators are not fully understood by any body

The point is not to argue for your limits but try to expand your thinking and this thread had done that for many.
It uses simple components and regardless of wether you accept the claims as you interperet them, the power of this thread is the idea exchanges going on. Is that not a powerful thing , a delicate thing , a wonderfuL thing???

Please dont drop the ball guys , just ignore the hurtful posts and they will go away. some people only want to fight because they know of no other way , they have not yet  learned and might never do so, especially  if you drop the ball. They will just go stirring hornets nests else where.

I ve seen a few people actually build one here  some that were denyers.

Sure OU is  a big ask but nobody will get any where if you run off to patent That's the problem you see   greed . Its is what has Steven Mark in a hole 

Please reconsider continuing what has opened a few eyes to a few new things and who knows where it might lead? ..no where if you quit that's for sure

Lindsay Mannix

You are spot on Lindsay, this is why I put my engine on OU, then anyone can go and build it, I could have made millions by patenting it, but I read where those who have done this are tired up for ever, I'm too old for that tommy rot.
---------------------------------

@ Stefan,
Thank you for publically saying you made a mistake, (back a few posts mate), it takes guts to say this, especially when its a bonza, (Australian strine for BIG HUGE), but what I see is, once you knew you made that mistake, you publically posted a sorry and the solution.
Well done sir.

BILL, please stay on this forum, don't leave it, it's YOUR BABY, you are an essential key in the JT puzzle, and you are needed.
Gadget, you also are needed.
IST, you are needed toooooooooooooo
