Joule Thief 101

It's more like what's wrong with you?

Now if you have anything to contribute to the thread and the topic under discussion, then fine.

I have a question.  How many of you here would like to be in a thread without MH in it?

What a shameful thing to say.  I encourage people that disapprove (or more) of this behaviour to send an email to Magluvin expressing their feelings.

You can contemplate this famous quote Magluvin, and it has nothing to do with the origin of this website, and everything to do with you:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Ok then. MH, the thread is yours.

I will be in contact with Smoky and Brad in PM only on this subject from here on in.  It is a better environment to work in.

Go for broke to make a "resonant Joule Thief."  It will probably have to be a different design than a standard Joule Thief to have any hope.

Brad was complaining about the "lack of information" in the question about the resonant frequency for the wine glass and I responded to it and it should be perfectly clear to him now that there is no missing information.

Smoky2 was offering to do a mathematical treatise to answer one or possibly both questions and I say bring it on.  However, it's not really necessary but still worth considering.
