Joule Thief

@ nievesoliveras

Do not just switch the 1 and the 10. Do the whole thing.

     There is no need to reverse pins 2 and 9, they are tied together. The circuit you posted is not better. Build it and you will find out.

@ jeanna

Xee2,
Would you be willing to draw this newest circuit in the form of a regular joule thief circuit?

thank you,

jeanna

    It is drawn as a regular JT.

Nice ! I just got a flyback my self , i would love it if you could find the drawing of your ac circuit .

I just can't find it .

  I do not have an AC circuit. It is powered by batteries.

Thanks
That is the reason I was/am confused.
What toroid is in this thing called a flyback with 8 pins and why use this instead of a toroid?
Just being confused again,

To anyone not familiar with flyback transformers:

There is no standard pin out for flyback transformers. The pin numbers can be very different between various models of transformers.
