Joule Thief

Wilby made a beer light out of a ccfl driven by a JT somewhere way back in our topic here. I am thinking it was about a year ago but, I have no idea where this was posted in all of our pages.

Jadaro, this is cool you bringing this up here again as I always wanted to play with those tubes.  Allelectronics sells those tubes and the ccfl driver circuits but I didn't want to use grid power for mine, I wanted to try what Wilby did.

Can someone please point my to johnnydavro's SEC circuit diagram; it seems to have gotten lost recently in the mush of my hard-drive, and also, the search for it on this website turns up the word security ( which is quite frequently discussed on this forum ).

If anyone knows where the post is for what Bill just mentioned, let me know; I would like to see it eventually.

@ conradelektro

Good work with your air core coil. If you want to light a tube with air core coil you might want to try this. More info several months back.

@ xee2

Thank you very much for the information about the slayer - xee replication.

This is exactly what I was looking for  : a Slayer-circuit where the big air coil on the basis of the transistor is not left open but connected to a FL, CFL or neon. My expectations are still more humble, just a nice light. Transmission of energy or overunity comes later (once the simple stuff bores me).

I will try to find the posts about this circuit to learn what was said about it a few months ago.

You could make it a lot easier for me (and other would be replicators), by posting your most important findings and conclusions about this circuit. Did you see some drawbacks or problems? How bright was the lamp? And as always my obsession with the frequency, could you measure it?

Please forgive the many questions.

Greetings, Conrad
