Mike:

Nice work there!  Congratulations man.  I would like to ask if you can post some photos of your replication if you are able to.  I am sure this might help some others with this concept. (Like me, ha ha)  Welcome to our merry band of experimenters.  You are off to a really great start!

Has anybody used a carbon rod or other shape to make a JT?  If so what were your results?

Some have, good luck finding it though - people are fascinated with the toroid, it creates a sort of closed loop for the magnetic flux.

@all,

Yesterday, I saw off in the distance, a cloud, and rain was falling from that cloud, and the wind was blowing it far from it's base, and it was immediately evaporating into the next cloud.

And then, I thought about the Joule Thief.

The filter I like so much. I made the MK1 and MK2 that both work well from this. The MK1 from this lit 30 leds in january.
This is how it comes 19 turns on each side. I take them off.

My favorite, the one allelectronics calls charcoal. It works really well, but is small. Pictured here is the minimum pack of 10 with the now famous one whose 20 turn secondary lit 29 leds in jan, and a single next to a AA battery. All wound this fits into a AAbattery slot.

Incidently, the book that is underneath them in the pics is Patrick Flanagan's book Pyramid Power" with its MOST interesting and inspiring cover.
