@nievesoliveras,

well done ! Congratulations.

Maybe you can try to put an additional
neon bulb between collector and emitter of the 2N4401 JT transistor ?

This will benefit your driving battery as it might not discharge anymore.

Then your 2N4401 JT transistor would work like a mechanical switch and when the
neon flashes it is like opening a mechanical switch where the neon plasma
feeds current spikes back to the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Do you have your alufoil around the 16 turn wire also connected anywhere
or is this alufoil just unconnected ?

I also guess it could be an effect, that the alufoil might do with shielding eddy currents
or something like this from the 16 turn bifilar coil.

Does this alufoil get warm during operation ?

Maybe the alufoil is really the secret over here.. ?

The source battery is .36v just right now.  The charging batteries fluctuayes between 4.43v and 4.49v
If I use the voltmeter several times the charging batteries go down to 4.42v

If I do disconnect the pulse motor coil the batteries keep charging better than with the pulse motor on, because the joule thief is providing the charge and not the pulse motor.
If I disconnect the 2200uf cap the source batteries go down until the motor stops. That was yesterday's test.

I have received different ideas, but almost all of the ideas want me to stop the motor and do some test. I will enjoy my success by looking at the pulse motor spinning and turning a little red LED salvaged from a camera flash circuit and an occassional little vertical dash of light from the neon bulb for a while and then I will stop it and try to make it run again with other old batteries I have stored to see if it works for real.

I know just how you feel Jesus . You keep right on running that lil babe and enjoy it then when you get the courage Solder it up so it don't fall to pieces . I know how those little proto boards have a tendency for components to wiggle loose and short out on another leg and stuff  I would like to know the dimensions of your pipe you wound your Newman on please .thanks you and Well done My brother
God Bless and have fun !!

@nievesoliveras

I would suggest that you leave the motor running and do another build to see if you can replicate your work.


Good Work!

Yes, better leave it running for a few days, also without connecting the
volt and ampmeters to it,cause the wires radiate the energy away
and then better build a second prototype.

And also try to use a real circuit board as the white prototype boards
are only for experimentation to change things quickly, so better try
to solder it all up. then you will also see,
if your longer connection cables have any influence or the prototype
board stray capacitances.

Many thanks.

@all

Today I will stop the pulse motor, take the batteries out, and test them with the camera to see if they work.
