Joule Thief

[NickZ]

  To your suggestion of using only a single 1.5 volt battery, instead of the 12v one, so to not get fooled by higher voltages and current levels that can light leds, even without a circuit. 
I've connected an Alkaline D size cell to my 4700 microfarad input cap.  The combination of the two input sources really kicks ass.
And can also easily be connected to a 4 volt solar garden cell, to keep it all going strong. Or, stronger yet.
  I'm looking for the diodes, now...  more soon.

Just a thought about non-contact measurement of this circuit.

Maybe you could have a photocell (connected to a scope)measuring the light out from the LED and it would also show the oscillation?

thats a good idea lakes.. I can set up a circuit with leads attached . it is sort of easy i think . When attaching leads it throws of the balance BUT i can hook the resistor and cap box up and i believe i can rebalance the circuits with all the leads attached BUT then they will somehow say it's those lead powering the circuit so i like your idea .

I like the Old saying if it works don't fix it. Not that is it that hard to do .



I need to know if i hook a scope up what needs to be seen . i have a duel trace data scope with two probes  bot have 1x and 10x ..I paid like 80 bucks for it several years ago . i think it is 100mzh but it might be 30

with the 3rd replication i noticed if the voltage goes to exactly 1.322 volts the leds get super bright . this is where they blowed last time i think . so i keep a start charge below that ..

I agree Nickz, my Super SS SSG Self Charger @ zero amps has the same effect as with the latest LS video, the cap on both side of the circuit is keeping the oscillation in the 5 filar coil at a certain time  using a diode from an extra coil going to the magnet ring and down to the pos rail of source battery...
for the super joule ringer using analog voltmetrs  after discharging with a dc fan , the battery steadily limb after  .... the output of which is connected to collector  - diode to a ferrite ring magnet attached to the body of the transformer, and from the ring magnet back to the source, positive battery . this set up are without caps and only the source battery and no solar panel attached...
2 yrs ago, I energized a slayer circuit and just placed the coil on top of a lead acid 12v battery....   same effect  the v slowly climbs up.....
for now this circuit may lead us somewhere beyond our expectations    ... happy experimenting     totoalas

Update @@ My channel . I decided to play with the 3rd modded unit with all caps . And i hoked up a Nimh cell which is charged to 1.497 and declining standing Volts .. This video shows the circuit has in one hour gone full bright leds and charged way beyond any cell battery 1.822 and next video done a few mins later 1.869  . No recovery here because there was no charge on it higher than 1.5 at any time. !!!!!!!!!
post link in a few ..

Damn UPDATE !! it is in a runnaway condition . voltage is shooting up over 4 volts now on a c cell . My god ! . i can't keep up with this in videos . My leds are going to blow . thay are near purple blue and they are white leds

making one more showing that , HOLLY SHHETTT  last video 4.68 on a C CELL !! I am going to have to clip the super cap off . it is starting to puff out.i have got some kind of energy resonance that is way beyond mine or any understanding . . HOW CAN A BATTERY READ THAT HIGH > > I CHECKED IT WITH  TWO GOOD TEST METERS NOT THE CHEAP ONES THAT GO UP IN VOLTS < THESE JUST STOP LIGHTING THE LCD"S AND GIVE AN INDICATION OF LOW BATTERY..
