Joule Thief

@ ist:

Wow!  Nice photos.  All those leds powered from a single AA.....very, very cool.

The NS coil is short for Nathan Stubblefield coil which is a bifilar coil used by Nathan Stubblefield in his earth batteries which powered the telephone system (an original design of his actually more like cell phones as it was wireless) for Murry, KY and illuminated his home and also heated it.  All this long before the grid reached his area.  This was back in the late 1800's.  He was also a friend of Tesla's.  For more info....see my topic:

here is a pic of 45 superbright leds powered from a 7 turn jt  the lights that are dim are uv bulbs....

yes i have designed grow lights  for use with thease units as well and i  did a little digging and im going to develop a nano crystal coating paint for the led lights

build it spray it n grow lol 

this will be one peice of my amazing high speed grow chamber ..    another part  will be a electrostatic  injected tesla coil spark thing E

wich if you look to nature..  you will see plants grow best after a thunder storms ..

and yet 1 more part of it is  my charger tpu deal to keep it runnung 4 FREE  free food ??   WHAT.. LOL  YEP JUST DROP IT ANY WHERE ON THE PLANET AND LET IT GO OOPS I mean LET IT GROW !!!!!   

lol

ist

are we there yet .......


it aint even christmas yet .....

@ Pirate:
You queried a few days back about the possibility of linking a few Joule Thief units together. I looked at Yucca's scope shot at: http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=6123.msg139195#msg139195 and wondered if the quick drop after each spike was producing radiant energy. If this is the case, then I'm wondering if the idea of sending the output of one to the input of another, and the latter's output to the input of another, and so on perhaps 4 or 5 times, would really kick up your spikes and radiant energy production. (might need beefier transistors in the latter ones)

Now, suppose the final output could be run thru an avramenko plug. Could you in effect light incandescent or fluorescent bulbs with this high freq hi radiant energy - much like was done on Doc Stiffler's thread (recall the original "party trick" lighting the bulb with a single wire underwater).  Anyway, something to chew on. As soon as I get time, I'll give it a try.

@ ist:

That really is amazing.  Why do you need a coating on the leds?  Are you trying to filter out a certain wavelength of the light spectrum?

@ Bob Smith:

Yes, this is what I was wondering about.  My main concern is that possibly the transistor pulses have to be synced in some way in order to work?  I just don't understand enough about this stuff yet.  I was planning on linking two Joule Thiefs together just as you said, output of one to input of the other, just to see what happens.  If it does multiply, or act like a doubler of some kind, you may be right about the 2nd transistor, I may fry it.  But if it seems to work ok and has a good effect...well...the way my mind works is that if we can hook 2 together....what about 3?,6?,10? I am just glad these are cheap and simple to build.

I know Dr. Stiffler was using the Avramenko plug and I was following his work almost from the beginning.  I had no idea what this was so I googled it to find out.  I had never heard of one until Dr. Stiffler's work and then also I saw Stefan's replications on youtube.  Are these plugs easy to make?

I am also familiar with Bedini's work.  Are you suggesting that there might be some kind of back emf in these spikes on the scope shot? (Thanks for posting the link to Yucca's post, it was good to see it again now that I built one.))

It really would be something if you could light up a neon or florescent bulb using just a single AA battery wouldn't it?

My local Radio Shack is out of the transistors I was using...I bought the last one last week.  when they get more in, I will build more.  Right now I only have 2 joule thiefs and actually have not completed the 2nd one as of yet.  Once I do....I will try a few things and report back.  Thanks for your post.
