Joule Thief

Hey, thanks Jeanna.  I would accept even say 200 to 300 volts right now.  I believe I just need a big enough cap to  capture the spikes and deliver a DC voltage to my motor.  Now I am trying to remember how to hook up multiple caps.  In series, does their voltage capacity increase or parallel?

i find i can charge my caps .. with 45vdc rectified as per meter ..

i can easly dubble the voltage in a cap ..

so i have no trouble to fill a cap to 100vdc from a 45 volt feed ..

: )

ist!

nice video slayer007

check out this one ...  MAKE COIL?  LOL 

multi stack ....  caped bottom coil  or shorted .. : )

I have been experimenting with a two transistor version of the kazm/slayer007 toroid circuit. After trying many configurations, I think the best fool proof solution is to use a variable resistor. The circuit will always start with the resistor set to 30K and the resistance can then be increased if necessary to prevent the TIP31C from overheating.

@ detrix42,

You can series connect your capacitors to match the total voltage you are putting across them (check polarities) in this configuration you reduce the capacitance value i.e. 2 x 100uf in series = 50uf.  Try and keep the values of each the same including the working voltages. e.g.  200volts... use 2 x 100v capacitors in series.  For capacitors connected in parallel the capacitance value adds together, the voltage remains the same.

cool, my memory is in tact.  wow.  There are a couple of 330uF/200v caps in a burned out computer power supply that I want to use then.  I am trying to look up a transformer that I pulled out of that power supply. I did a google search and found nothing.  the numbers on it are   --  6C03313120 MORETEC 99235C.  How do I get a pin diagram for it???

Hi,
How to feedback JT.
This is only idea. Maybe someone have a knowledge how to create driver ?  I don't have.
