Joule Thief

[Michelinho]

Hi all,

I don't know if it can be of any help but here's what I was told: instead of making 300 turns on a toroid, just wind 10 turns on one toroid and 30 turns on a second toroid without breaking the loop.  If that works, it would be perfect for the JT.

Take care,

Michel

“Bunch of thieves” :)…One jt powering another…

@Light
Can you post how you hooked the JT's up for one to power the other?

I

next new coil 



i got soooo many coils i lost count 

ist!

what if ....   we made 2 in 1 

and  we made a NPN  JT  as we have been doing ..... on the ver   and  a PNP on the hoz..  and they were wound to repell 1 another


TURBINE WHAT ......    generator ?

how about this the first jt powers the second in this unit ...  could use a bit of help ...   guys... lol

hey if we did use 2 npn jt's could we not wind an alum pick up coil to pull inverted power from it ??

i just happin to have some real thick alum wire ...

kinda like first jt gets powered ... insted of the leds put output to steel wire ... then to led ... check to see that it works ... then to cap ... 

put a higher voltage cap there ... then use a 3055 off the bigger cap to power the next one wich would be the hor jt do the exact same thing with it but this time take the out from the steel wire from the inside ... feed it to the alum wire on the outside  then to your load .. 

what ya think ......

should i try it ??   

i mean i have already built it ... except the alum it only takes a min but the 3055 curcuit i could use a hand with i dont have many left ... ive been blowing them  a bit latley ... could just be a few bad ones tho ... im running low on em tho ...   

back to work ...

T gonna take some current for that to do anything i think William .But it Might work . I would try it with a scrap tranny first .

@ Pirate:

       Since no one else has hit on it yet, I would like to be the one to congratulate you
on hitting 200 pages of post. Most never get near this.


              BRAVO MY GOOD MAN

   Much learned and had a lot of fun reading. I now have a way to passive light my
areas. I only have to turn on a light when I need to work on the bench or such.
