WOAH Jim,

I'm glad you are back.

(It must be those mice! darn those mice.)

Oh, speaking of darn mice...
Is that Pennyroyal you mentioned poisonous to dogs should they somehow get hold of the cotton ball with that stuff on it?

@ jeanna

Congratulations. Are you using the two secondary copper coils in series? Or, are you just using one of the copper secondary coils?

@ Mk1,

Very nice fabrication job.

@ Freezer,

I like all of your videos. Well done.

That the project joule transformer, in single pickup coil 66 volt , 101 volt in a out of phase , 120 volt in phase. The 120 vac neon works at 102 volts, the volt meter still shows 13 volt , on 120 meter shows 25 volt under neon load.

Jim , you take care!

Here is yet another video on youtube showing that a JT circuit can light an LED using only a supercap.

@ Jim:

Holy crap!!  I hope you are ok now.  I had a feeling something was not right down there.  Seriously, I hope everything is ok now.

@ MK1:

Nice pictures man!!!!  Now THAT is a Joule thief!!!!  Very well done!

@ Jeanna:

Excellent work as always.  I admire the way you keep at something if you don't get it to work the first time.  a lot of folks do not work this way.  Very good for you.  Nice job!!!

Nice.  I did get the regular joule thief to work off the 1.8w solar panel, but not the fuji circuit.  I still think the fuji circuit can work, it just needs adjustment, and perhaps the right capacitor.

I found this funny product..
