put it back up bro....

no time left to piss around....


ist


lol!!!   why thank you 

no i did not see that   nice to know ....    i might like to run spell check on a bunch of my posts ........lol

I found this vid for making some mods to a Kodac fun saver flash circuit.

Does anyone have any suggestions on such a modification to light a florescent tube?  Thanks.

i removed my posts because of a couple reasons. mainly the fact that my integrity was immediately questioned, it wasn't even an extraordinary claim, just a simple inverter. old hat to some, but kind of a wonder to the newer hats... then i was informed by someone who didn't even bother to actually build the circuit (which can be built numerous different ways, with various coil configs and 1, 2 or even 3 transistors), that the circuit was wrong, repeatedly. this was done due to this persons 'expertise'. whether or not i knew what a resistor was was also brought under question.
then said person claims to have built one long ago, but keeps pestering me how to build one even though i have already provided a schematic and said that it is simply a gutted flash camera circuit.
all this was followed by this paradox of a claim "All I want is the correct drawing of you circuit so that I and other can replicate it." i continued to try to clarify, even explaining that i had used a schematic program that did not have the symbols i needed so i used what was there to best represent the circuit. hell it only had 2 transformer symbols, 4 pin big and small. i drew out a diagram numbering the transformer pins. i stated it was a 5 pin transformer. but they were too busy thinking there is only one way to do it to even listen, much less understand and comprehend what i was explaining.

if you haven't replicated it how can you be sure it's incorrect? oh yeah, expertise.
strange that someone with such expertise and who had already done this before should need the help of someone he suspects doesn't even know what a resistor is?
then i'm told to calm down... well i'm not interested in playing games with such people. this kind of behavior is why the doc left. this board has absolutely zero moderation and the community at large does zero about it. my only real point in posting it was to keep that fire of discovery by doing going in bill.

that will work fine to light a flouro maw. thanks for finding that. point in fact, that is exactly how the circuit i used is built. try and use an 8 watt bulb or smaller. use a fresh 1.5v battery or 2 ni-cad/ni-mh. i hope the kids have fun!

Texas instrument is making a joule thief ic http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/texasinstruments/32692/

Some will benefited from this invention, it runs from very low power input , earth battery, solar, piezo,etc

Some have already started marketing the product
