Joule Thief

[electricme]

@All

I just want to thank everyone for their kind words with my success yesterday, thank you all so very much, it makes a big difference after a long hard slog.

My only hope is that people wil replicate what I have done and pass what they learn along also.

Tp Bill, Jeanna, IST, Xee2 and MK1, and I see zpezpffan (a welcome to you also to the Joule Thief Topic) and anyone else, I may have missed, thank you for the PMs.
The LED went out sometime last night, it was still very bright when I went to bed in the early hours of the morning, I awoke about 8:30am sun shining and just checked.
The voltage was 2.6v then as I unhooked it, the voltage began to climb, so the EER is not broken.
I think this EER setup needs to bedin for a while, but I'm thinking of a more bigger system.

This one I made was just to prove the series connection of earth cells in series, I have successfully done this without any doubt, so its time to research this further, but over onto the EB Thread.

I have posted a heep of more stuff there, including some TWV and a How o Build Your Own EER.

I have 3 PMs to answer, so got to be off, but willl be back later to read from P882 - where ever the JT fred ends 

hooroo all

First try with the biggo JT didn't work but I will keep trying.

What do you think?  Maybe a primative mag power supply.  I posted because I think it could become much better then this tiny 2 minute test!!!

OK I'm lost.

Please review what this is.
I get that the green inductor is what you talking about?
Is that wound around the magnets? (really one magnet, right?)
Your power supply is leaking somehow?

There is a patent by a guy named bryant where he wraps an iron magnet bar with a coil and aligns it to North-South. It is an earth battery. 1845 england or close to that.
...

Anyway, help me out, I would like some more annotation along with your pictures, please.

thank you,

What I think is that you should redo the test with that coil connected to the power supply but with the power supply disconnected from the wall. If it gives the same voltage reading then you need to take the fast course that @jeanna gives on how to improve the output of a joule thief.
She made mine to light 2 leds in series with the pickup coil, when before her explanation the pickup coil did not light one led.

I'm not convinced of anything because when I turn off the power supply the voltage increase stops and then slowly decreases.  With a battery as the power source  but still using the power source as a ground is doesn't have the same effect.  When it is on it takes power from the power supply somehow.  I need to try more stuff but it's interesting....  What I do know is the magnet in the video looks to be 1 because the nail used to show that it is a mag moves quickly from one side to the other.

I think my power supply may be bleeding energy to the inductor (2 magnets/Neo's NSNS) green mag wire 26guage.  I am tinkering with some ideas that I saw on that 3kw in a briefcase topic.

@Jeanna

Here is a more interesting set up.
