Joule Thief

Hi Gary,

I am confused by your drawing then comment.

Do the diodes on your enhanced photo/drawing ALL need to be reversed?
Or is that a corrected drawing? (It seems not... the photo seems to show the diode neg stripe in the opposite way from the way the yellow lines are drawn??

thank you.

I returned the hourglass and I am getting the same 57volts from many more turns around the toroid at the waist.
I am wondering now if I should make the second cone wind around the opposite way.
So, I will watch another video and wind half of it again, this time going the other way.

57v goes to 72 at a peak resonance.
And, there are 3 to 4 resolutions that show a lot of jumping around and ringing that are visible. Also... this is verry interesting: I see that jagged shaped wave that looks just like the EER  we have all seen.
This happens when one full wave encompasses 1.2kHz.

I watched a project camelot interview that talks a lot about this hourglass figure along with many other things.
Joseph Farrell was being interviewed.
It seems this subject is not as unknown as I thought.
And, it seems that it is very ancient as I suspected. Synchronicity abounds.

Jeanna:

Gary went back and edited that the diodes were reversed on his marked up photo.  I'm glad you pointed that out.  Thanks,

Bill

At  first  I just added a note that   the diodes  were wrong .... later I went back and  changed  them ..and edited  the note .

Thanks for the information  about  filling the gap
I can't  think of a reason that I  would want to lower  the  frequency .......other than if it  was high enough to be causing  radio interference ......I am pretty sure we are not  getting that high.

IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT I HAVE HIGH GRADE ALUM CASES .. WATER PROOF I WILL SELL REALLY CHEEP THERE MANY SHAPES AND SIZES ...

WOULD WORK GOOD TO SHEILD I BET ...  PROBALLY MAKE A GREAT RECIEVER  TOO !

IST! IF IT IS TRANSMITTING

I finished  my first test JT with  the E cores.

For simplicity I  used a  primary  of 10 turns .
It  had 38 V  with no secondary .
I decided  to make  the  secondarys the same length
I used  12 strands  of  # 26 mag wire .
I twisted  them  into one  strand  with the original primary wires .

I  then  re-wrapped  the  spool .
I ended  up   with   40 V  on both the  primary and  the secondarys

So far  I  have all the primarys  connected  .......like they were all one heavier wire .

It  does seem to have a little power  but nothing  outstanding ..

so far I have not  been able to get it to run  with  the full secondary being used for feedback .

I wondered  about lighting  a filament type  bulb ....... the only one  I had handy  was a 110 V 40 W
It  did not really light up .........but  it made some heat and the  filament glowed a nice  orange color.
