AC from Joule Thief Secondary/pick-up

[nievesoliveras]

I see.

I am betting on it. Now there are 2 of us!
Yeay!

But just at least get the 2 leds going by using the simple secondary.
The ignition coil is convenient but I think it is a nice thing to have some lights on dark nights even if the other is not yet ready.
I bet it will be very soon.
I am glad you are working on this too.

I took 18 inches of wire, i took also the already made 2b-10c-70p toroid and adde 6 turns of the 18 inches wire.

The joule thief quit working. It is not working at all.
I tested the led on my self running motor and it is okay. By the way the only thing that seems to work today is the self running motor.

I tested the battery with my four circuits in one breadboard and all the circuits were working perfectly after moving the connections a little.
I changed the transistor and it is still not working.

I hate when the circuits behave like that when you are trying to perform a test on them.

I will try later again when I get calmed down and think clearer.

Almost all the tests I have done has been wrong today.

Do you mean the basic joule thief led stopped working?
That is normal.
Sometimes it continues to stay on, but I remove it for these experiments, because it just takes power from the battery.

Did any leds turn on from the secondary you made?
And did you check all polarities?

Me too.
But, I actually think it might be a sign of high or very high frequency that the circuits misbehave like this.
It only happens on the more powerful circuits...

unless the soldering failed.
I have trouble getting the solder to stick, these days.
I never used to have this problem, but I do now. A lot.

Please check the secondary wires with a led and tell me what happens.

thanks

@jeanna

I could not make the leds to light bright even with the 70 turns pickup coil. The leds lighted but dim. I put a blinking led with the other two and also lighted dim with the others. By the way it blinked dim while the others got dimmer with each blink.

If I put one led between the emmiter and collector it lights bright though.

I moved to another task and tried this I posted on the kapanadze topic:

Jesus,
Did you ever tune the primary for maximum voltage?

The truth is that I did not understand the explanation given way back on this topic, because when I asked a question it was not answered with a straight answer.
I had to guess and draw a lot and stood confused.

The answer is no I did not ever tune the primary for maximum voltage.
