Joule Thief

[gadgetmall]

HolY crap . What a wasps nest i stirred up huh. I cannot help but think how simple this circuit is . It's only part mine at that . the tank piece its not really the one i normally use .and . the secondary is jeanna's idea . this is been the STANDARD circuit for me all the way since the first 100 pages . My 7 year old can make one . she have made several . the Schematic is straight forward if you made one if not go to mad scientist ,learn . I cannot believe all the negative comments about where is the ou . DUH ? Well if they don't see it then there never will be over unity . the Cool thing is a small blast from the charged bcap back to the input and your back where you started( in my case 1.495 AA)and still have a full bcap . HMM? I don't know . I guess this happens all the time right non believers ? Show me a circuit if you can beat one as simple as this . Show me 3500 amps @ 2.6 volts from an aa battery . Show me ? You can't unless you use an ultracap.PERIOD . I think they are scared because i have already one the prize . If i do, i promise to Share it with the gang .they are all involved .they all listen and we all have learned.
Gnite .

oh one more thing
Experiment 2 part three is still running !!! run at .811 and Charge Bcap is 1.279 !! still . id say that is still an Ou effect going on here even at the third swap fumbled by a kitten . we haven reached My goal of 1.3 yet but by morning  we will see.

welcome back i have missed you sir!

im so glad you returned you have done sooooo much work and effort toword this ...

no one is left out !!

great to have you back with us !

Thank God ! Jesus saves the day once again than you for clearing up My Mess I was hoping you would pop in but then again you are always here and never left . you are the first person i thought of when that lower line on the secondary in tiny cad smakked thru the bottom of the jt drawing . i did not thing it was a big deal at the time because i described it along with the drawing .
thank you so much.

Thank you @innovation!
Thank you @gadgetmall!
I have been reading a lot.

Closing the switch on this particular circuit cause the path to short ( bypass ) the oscillator; unless the capacitor and the nichrome wire are on a secondary, then the battery is directly charging the capacitor and the oscillator is providing additional voltage.  This isn't the circuit you're looking for... and after 10k posts I would have thought you all would realize this. ( I mean not to offend ...)  You can test the idea by removing R1.. the capacitor will charge without the oscillator and will charge to a voltage of the source minus the forward voltage drop of the diode D2.

Of course that wire is going to get hot..it's shorted either across the battery or the capacitor and it's running in parallel with said source ( going to the heater wire ).

About that secondary, which I know is optional,

@Jeanna, what does the waveform look like without rectification off of a secondary ( perhaps you have an old image)?
