Second Stage Joule Thief Circuits

[gadgetmall]

I would agree, the circuit is not entirely clear in the area of the toroid.

Please clarify the bottom area of the toroid, there are a lot of crossed lines with no connection points given.

.99

There is no connection . if there was it would be a dot . the bottom half is STANDARD JT . The drawing program i have won't draw the secondary line any further up . Just forget the secondary .

@Pirate can you please replace the other diagrams with this one . I am sorry you others did not  get it the first time around.

@paul
I did answer . Its a Standard 11 turn JT . with a 22 turn secondary  ?? Standard . the cad program just would not draw the secondary line high enuff but i managed to clear it up .Jt? Anyways yes its the same guy and i did not leave him feed back to spoil his 100% feedback . that's the kind of person i am . i did finally get my money back but it was a bad experience and we had some words . There leaky My friend and you will see . How can anyone sell an 80 dollar bcap for 30 Dollars . Answer there inferior rejects . Its ok Maybe he has some good ones now . like i said i test mine and make 2 dollars off of them .
here is the new schematic to clear up what you don't understand . have fun . It works like i said it does . I hope this Clears up the cad error .

best regards

gadget have you thought about shipping bcaps with a JT kit? It would definitely speed things up for the beginners.

I just read the 10 last JT thread pages and they were interesting indeed. It might need some special circuitry but I would advise to have a certain setup freezed somewhere where people (and pets) can't reach that flip flops between bcaps. This would serve as a good benchmark while you continue to improve the concept.

Thanks poynt99!! 



Gadget, thanks for reply, and we can take this in a different thread because the moderator does not want people to discuss your circuit here,
Paul

Paul:

What are you talking about??  I am the Moderator and I was the one that posted gadget's drawing in the second post of this topic and we ARE discussing his circuit here.

Jeanna very kindly volunteered to help you with a basic joule thief circuit on the other topic because that is where that circuit was born.  That circuit is only a small part of Gadget's new circuit but if you can't make one of those, then you won't get Gadget's circuit to work.

@ Al:

I will swap out the drawings as you requested as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks,

Bill

***EDIT***  The drawings have been swapped out.

Okay, are there any real pictures or any video of this circuit out there yet ?

How bright is the 1 Watt LED and how long does it take to charge up
the ultracap ?

How much power does the circuit draw from with battery at the same time ?

How long will the nichrome wire heat up,
when it discharges the cap ?
Probaby only for a few seconds ?

Have you measured power input from the battery over time= energy input
compared to the heat and light energy output ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

You can read all the details in the last 10 pages or so from the joule thief tread , and some detail can be found here in the first 3 pages .
