Joule Thief 101

A rat got in the pond and drowned. Question is whether the Koala is a duck
or a rat?
This whole thing is really most enjoyable.!

You can never really trust anything. We've got a new saw,Stihl 4mix, it runs on
2stroke mix and sounds like a 4stroke....who'd a thought it?

Guess you have never heard of skip beat two strokes,or economizers as there some times referred to.
Ask MH--he's full bottles on ICEs.
Just be careful when the resonant cavity kicks in--it can really throw you around

Wattsup:

You have a point about the back and forth arguing in the thread.  That's life and it happens sometimes.  Believe me, sometimes you almost want to pull your hair out when you see two sides of an argument on this forum.

With respect to your moaning and groaning about conventional EE and your "spintronics magic" - deliver some goods.  Do something practical that shows all of this talk has some merit.

Here is a dose of reality for you:  You are the other person along with EMJ that couldn't answer a very simple question about a circuit that consisted of a power supply and one single component.  EMJ has been "doing something" on his bench for about 10 years and I assume that it's roughly the same ballpark for you.  So you have been winding coils, experimenting with coils, talking about coils, watching other people doing experiments with coils, and proposing alternative theories about coils for years and years - and yet you were completely lost just like EMJ and couldn't answer a simple question about a circuit that consisted of a power supply and one single coil.

So I think it's justified to say that and give you some perspective and frankly put you in your place.  The world of EE and the science and physics behind it consists of something like five lifetimes worth of knowledge when you look at the entire body of knowledge.  No single person can know it all.  And here you are a bench tinkerer that has some radical unproven theories that you have been reading somewhere in cyberspace and you probably still don't understand how an inductor truly works, just like EMJunkie doesn't understand how an inductor truly works.

So complain if you want to, but also know that from a different perspective you are a "lost soul."  A "lost soul" just like the lay people that think that Solar Roadways are awesome and expect to see that "technology" deployed on highways.  If you want to show something that backs up your theories that truly is unique and brings value to the table, that would be great.  But don't be surprised if when you do show something that it will feel like a carpet being pulled from up under your feet when some knowledgeable people tell you what is _really_ happening in what you demonstrate, and not what you think is happening.

Work on your own understanding and reading skills MH

To quote my reference to the posted diagram--which had nothing at all to do with any waveform produced by the generator sketch--> thats right MH-->nothing to do with a wave form production.

Quote: --->And if we use a PM generator,the EMF produced from the stator coil will be 0 when the PM is directly at the center of the stator coil's core

You are the bloody Pope Brad.  Back in brain-fry mode.  Your two diagrams were wrong and could mislead beginners.  And you can't even bring yourself to state that.

PW:

Yes I do, and I routinely measure at levels well below that most every day.

That's pretty awesome and amazing.  I couldn't imagine how you measure sub-picowatt power levels or why you would even need to do that.  I am guessing that is well below the power levels associated with RF ID tags.
