Joule Thief

@all

I made a new video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiLcbTBewhw

Running the motor/generator , detail on the connections ...

Great work!!!

Hi folks,  so does anyone have any thoughts on freeenergyinfo's idea about induction heater or has anyone tried this already, thanks.
peace love light

Hi Tyson,
Only that I have been wanting to try it and have not done so yet.
Every time I read the fine print the "high" of the high voltage is not so high but the watts is really high, so I do something else.
If freenergyinfo could show us a 1.2v input even warming the core, I would be encouraged. But it is not too hopeful at this point.
Do you want to try it?
If the frequency is more important than the volts, which it could be, then raise the value of the base resistor on your joule thief. This will lower the volts, so keep an eye on them. Spiky volts count about half of what you expect. My thoughts are that as long as there are enough like 170v then get that base resistor high and increase the frequency.
I am not sure why the secondary alone wouldn't heat it.

I got a warming of a coil 2 times.
Both times the transistor was cool and everything else seemed normal.
Once was with a bedini circuit and the other time was with the cardboard toroid.
(funny... both times folks said there must be a short, but there was not.)

I did use a stubblefield which is made on a plain steel bolt.
It worked well as the "toroid" of a joule thief, but I do not remember if it heated up or not.
The steel bolt rather than ferrite or laminated material is what is needed here,( according to the site freenergyinfo linked).

wanna try it?

This fellow used a multiplier to go from 20k volts to 80k.  I believe he used a Cockcroft-Walton multiplier for this:

For that high a voltage(I agree it's that high), embedding the components in something like pourable plastic Neolite or else highly insulated diodes and caps would increase efficiency by reducing coronal discharge at inopportune moments.

His arcs are huge and actually look a lot like flames to me rather than sparks. This is unreal and may be related to our work here.

Yeah, I saw it too.  Unique display.  I never saw anything like it.  But, 80,000 V is nothing to treat lightly when the arc is that big.

i wake up in the morning and i step out side and i get real high!!

i said hey whats going on  .... ?

Lee:

I agree that this looks dangerous.  I also have never seen anything like this either.  I wonder what that would look like if run through a large Jacob's ladder?
