Second Stage Joule Thief Circuits

[Groundloop]

All,

I have now built the circuit (the one with micro controller) that I posted back
on page 26. I will now develop the software needed to run the mcu. I will post
the software here when done and tested.

Alex . Its Beautiful .Can't wail to Show the trolls they are wrong !! I have a Jt alread Made i was sending to some one but i destroyed there existence and address so I'll send it to you Instead .Its alread packaged  i just need a little time to make the trip to a post office . they close early so the day after Christmas I will send you on ei made with a Goldmine cor and to my specifications . If you dont have a good battery i found some yesterday at harborfreight 4 ni/mh 2200mah ./ I will test them now they were only 4.95 for a 4 PACK > I got a couple packs of them Christmas Sale . !!!also they have 2500 mah C and D cells in a two pack for 6 dollars !! cheap . and theya re heavy too . I'll charge them up and condition them with my bedini and if you cant find them i will send you one with your Pro gadget . BTW  My self runner is doing great and after almost 6 weeks the battery is still well over the beginning charge  like i told you in the email i forgot to unscrew My 1.2 volt bulb for 8 hours and that AA battery Charged up well beyond the start rating so its good for another  few months  and he bcap is Charging its little heart out . even after 8 hours feeding the aa battery it only dropped to 1. 5 volts  . Very good News . The bad news in the circuit i discussed . I messed  something up or broke a little wire on it and i am heartbroken . I will figure it out but more in an email from you . I might just send it and see if you can make heads or tails of it , but i want it back ok ? I'll spend more time on it and see what i did , one thing i did was use brittle wire . After Christmas i'll make anotehr one .

Albert,

I really appreciate your nice comments about my new circuit. It is a lot of work (and some money spent)
to make these circuits. I will be really proud and really glad to receive a genuine Gadget version JT.

I will use your JT when I test my setup. I have found batteries. I now have one 2100mA/h NiMeH,
one 4500mA/h and one 8000mA/h battery to do testing with. I also have a Bedini like charger for those
batteries to get them initially charged. No problem there and no need to send me any batteries.

I will try to repair your circuit, If you send me the broken circuit, and I will return it to you, no problem.

I will work on the software for the automated feed back and discharge circuit. (We need to find a
shorter name for that circuit. LOL) It will take some few days. Have a nice Christmas.

Alex.

Excellent craftsmanship Gloop.

Keep up the good work...one day when someone breaks through, and the world is not a military gulag, I hope we can all have a little get together in some warm climate.

There are so many good souls on this site...it would be grat to meet them.

Regards...

Hi Groundloop not to sound critizing but alot of work for just charging back an aa battery I think better just hook it on a small charger and use it again   .
I think as I said before the great achievment would be to drive a heater filament from from  just an aa batt.
Thanks anyway for your effort.
