Joule Thief

Then I must not understand.
Which angle is 70?

thanks,

You will need to build it to see what i mean , i started with 10 degrees division , and tried to make symmetrical winding , but could not get 36 turn out of it , only 18 . I was still learning.

there many things i respect in you mk1 ..

will to learn

honesty ..

truth

but reality SAYS ...  we never stop learning ...  and im the first to admit to my many mistakes ...  as with out them i never would have scrached the surface ...

and BELEAVE ME I BAIRLY HAVE...

the wing fly bounce angle MUST BE CORRECT to allow magnetic feilds to bounc to the next ring ...   as a cascade effect ... 

this repeats to the last coil ...  but 6 and 8 must spinn  2 in oppsite dirrections and ...  depending on supply ... neg and pos ...

tell ya why i can typew this right now ...

im only wearing 3 rocks ...

i did not want to place them b4 there time ... 

as i spinn heads ... 

this allows comprehenction ...  with out that .... 

you be oooo      pissing in the wind

to where do our thoughts come from ... 


H

IM  sure i made a wize crack some where long the lines ...  bout how the dimond in a wedding ring is upside down ... 

and if i have not shared that public ...  guess i just did ...  i have said that for a long time ...

my dimond ring is next to be placed ... rightside up ..

OK xee2,
I just went to the goldmine to see what the site says, and it uses ohms to make the connections claims, so, since that is how I was doing this before, no more explanation is needed for me. thanks.

I was worrying about the folks in other countries who might want a toroid to make a good joule thief so I used one of those tiny toroids from an opened cfl, just to see.
It worked really well, and with no special tuning but taking the clues from how it was already wound, I made a 60v jt secondary, and I am now using it for another lamp. My experimentation here, is to test the theory that the hi frequency will turn the lights on but not blow the ones with less internal resistance since resistance is not coming into play.
So, I made 6 strings of 7 leds. Each led in the string is soldered in series, and the strings themselves are soldered in parallel, so 60v is turning on 7 leds, with 6 in parallel, which would normally overly stress the ones with little internal resistance and make them go dim really soon.
I plan to report on this as it is hopefully a good way around lights for less.

Now, next I am thinking that I can add this transformer that is in the same circuit board to do what you are doing here.
So, perhaps, I/we can start with 1.2v and make 60v spiky then with this secondary in use, boost it up even more and light a cfl, or some kind of fl. (the very same cfl would be the most convenient, wouldn't it?- I like convenient.)

Then not only would we be asking for dead batteries from our friends, we would now be asking for dead cfl's.

thank you,

jeanna

st mk1 and J 

if you can make it coned 3d  rings with in rings ...  with the CORRECT FLY OFF BOUNCE RING ANGLE ...


DONE DEAL ...

CAP SECONDARY COILS ON 3 6 AND 9 RINGS ...

GOODDAY

4 REAL

W

and that little pulse motor wont quit running ...

: )

still that same aa ......

Go build something !

OK,
I assume you are telling this by measuring it, because this should be 72.
10 divisions gives you 5 full loops around each one being 72 degrees=pentagon=72 degrees angle from the center, which is the angle I believe you are talking about.

You cannot get more than 18 because you are only counting complete turns. You did have 36, but they were half turns around the tube.

I made a little one last night but I need to finish this little toroid light to clear the space, first... almost ready.

I have a question that came up when I was winding it.
um, I cannot get the question out.
I will work on this in a little while, and thank you,
