Joule Thief 101

[Magluvin]

There is nothing more to it than that.  I can answer my own questions, Brad is talking nonsense.  There is nothing twisted about my straight forward questions, more nonsense.

If you have something to say, go ahead.

What I can see is that you are doing some searching on resonance because this discussion has given you the motivation to inform and educate yourself instead of just being on cruise control.

Have you ever disagreed with Brad in your life?  I have a feeling that you haven't, it's the good old straitjacket effect.  I am sure that you have read stuff that he has posted that you disagree with strongly, but you stay mute.  It just promotes stagnation.

Why don't you answer the questions yourself?  I have to assume that you can't either.  So we have a trio of "resonance researchers" that can't answer a few simple questions about a resonating wine glass.  That should make you all want to try to get better and more informed, and not to whine and complain like Brad.

Its just the simple fact that you have been spending most of your time here bashing, bashing and more never ending bashing. You say it is to save others from spending money on nonsense. lol the parts required for a joule thief is next to nothing. Where is the big savings??? They can take an old pc power supply and get what they need other than an led and a AA. And probably dead ones from the junk drawer. Even radioshack with say $20 max in parts. Dang, little kids are going to be starving because of it all.

You have said a few times here so far that you were done and were going to leave us to our work. Thats not going to happen.

So you do what you gotta do, for how ever long you wanna do it. I will probably put you on ignore soon. When thats done, it kinda screws thing up due to seeing replys to you without your input, but my pages will be less of a hassle to go through.

Your here to discredit. To make us look like we cant do anything. Move along readers. 

You say you have 3500 hours on the bench 30 yrs ago.  What is that?  Lets see, 5 days a week, 52 weeks, eight hours a day, 2080 hours. Maybe all 3500 hrs in say 2 years.  I spent 4hrs a day, 5 days a week at votech 10th through 12th grade. 2 years at electronic institute of Pittsburgh. 6 years fixing vcrs, camcorders, amplifiers and most everything other than TVs, professionally at 2 different shops over that period. Also countless hours working on mechanical and electronic stuff here since what, 2008? 

I got you beat pretty bad there.  I even had to tell you that a red led wont light up with just a 1.5v batt like you described it would in Larskros motor. If you deny that I will hunt down that page of posts for all to see. Thats what 30yrs off the short time on the bench does. Cant remember everything in accurate detail, but you profess that you got it all in that head of yours and fight tooth n nail, and tell us allll about your couple years on the bench 30 yrs ago, and at times, use that for an excuse for not knowing something when someone finally proves your wrong, just like you did in that thread we argued about with Larskros motor. 

I remember it pretty clearly. You had drawn up or modified Larskros schematic showing the motor being activated with the reed switch from the battery and showing the led as being powered by the battery alone when the reed closed, completely ignoring the fact that the coils field collapse was capable of firing the led when in was across the coil like larskro had shown it.

Thats a very accurate memory of it. Go ahead. Deny it. Ill plaster every page of it right here so the 'readers' can see what you are all about.   

Try me.

Im just waiting for this BIG reveal to occur.  So what, 6 weeks maybe, being what, 2 weeks ago you stated 4 to 8 weeks?  Cant wait for the big event.

Im not going to be coerced into that never ending crap.  Others can continue on with you if they want to, but ive been through this before a few times and dont have time for this.

Brad:

The thing is,gravitational force is indeed the missing factor needed in order to make a correct determination of the cars top speed.

You have got to be absolutely out of your mind.  All this time you have been ragging me about the "secret" and it's bloody gravity.  Yet again, you are making a fool of yourself.

Why don't you go join these two automotive forums:

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/
http://ls1tech.com/forums/

Make a posting that says, "We need a new test for a car's top speed.  We need a level track, an uphill track, and a downhill track and we need to quote three top speeds for every new car."

Watch the posters there slice you to pieces and make mincemeat out of you and think that it is an early April Fool's joke.  You are unbelievable, or should I say beyond unbelievable.

I also remember him referring to a sewing machine,where he decided that a sewing machine has no resonant frequency at all--another bumbled attempt at trying to dismiss resonant frequencies in everyday machines.

More retarded nonsense.  A sewing machine is not designed to resonate.  If you hit some kind of resonant mode in a sewing machine something might start shaking too much and ruin the machine's ability to sew.  In other words, a sewing machine will not operate "better through resonance."  Any mechanical machine or system will have all sorts of resonant modes and by  design they are normally to be avoided or they are intentionally damped out.  Smoky2 even made reference to it.  I am pretty sure that he was talking about the mechanical resonant frequency of an entire engine block assembly.  The last thing you want to have is an engine revving at the fundamental resonant frequency of the engine block assembly because the thing might shake itself into destruction.

Everything this !!teacher!! has said so far -in this thread alone,has been incorrect

I will call you out on this - you are completely full of shit.  You are showing your critical flaw. "Everything" I said?  All that you are doing is showing that when you are stressed from a debate is that you will lie through your teeth as it suits you.  Therefore, when you get into this state, nobody should be surprised if you pick and choose when to lie to advance your cause.  You simply can't be trusted when you get into a heated debate, and for all practical intents and purposes you completely lose your decorum and become a temporary pathological liar.

So man up MH,and lets see who has the last laugh.

That has already been decided.

One by one we will put an end to your rubbish and disinformation you are plastering all over this thread for some reason (http://overunity.com/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)---along with your !so far! failed attempt to discredit me.

Just read what I stated above and think about it a long hard time.

There is no point in this kind of debate since you seem to lack common sense and you simply cannot be trusted like I sate above.

The only thing I am interested in is closing the loop on is the two questions about the resonating wine glass.

Magluvin:

The only interest at this point is to close the loop on the resonating wine glass.  Your buddy's bad karma is the reason you are going to wait, such is life.

I didn't know the voltage drop on an LED, I admit it.  I am pretty sure I saw that funky pulse motor in a Revolution Green article about frauds and scams, go figure.  For what it's worth, I don't recall you ever finishing that particular pulse motor project.

I am not here to bash people but I will stand my ground also.  Surprise surprise, you have seen a lot of other bashing going on and said nothing about it.  It's like you and Chet are bondage twins.

It's all useless water under the bridge at this point in time.  My only interest is to close the loop on the wine glass.  I would love to see one of you guys get it but I am not counting my chickens.  On top of that, I am not really interested in commenting on people building pulse motors and stuff like that and it's highly unlikely I will do that again, especially for what Brad does.  He can delude himself just fine without me.  Nor am I here to discuss any bench work you may do with your "resonant Joule Thief" I have made that perfectly clear many times now.  No kidding a Joule Thief costs less than ten bucks.

P.S.:  The real reason I joined this thread was to try to get you guys to educate yourselves and get you to ask yourselves some critical questions about a Joule Thief and resonance.  Is a Joule Thief designed to resonate?  What does it mean for a Joule Thief to resonate?  Should I just presume that a "resonant Joule Thief" will give me better performance before I take a long and hard look at that idea?  Are we truly talking about resonance or it is something that looks like resonance?  Before I look for resonance in a Joule Thief can I explain it and describe it for a common everyday example of resonance?  How am I going to define better performance?

And I have been partially successful at getting you guys to do some critical thinking about what the whole thing means.

What the hell does a buzz bomb have to do with anything?

Frankly, the Buzz Bomb Pulse-Jet is a really good example of
resonance.  Rather like the way a whistle resonates.

As this discussion has illustrated, resonance has acquired
additional meanings as our time-line has progressed forward.
Resonance can even be applied to human traits and actions
or emotions.  In fact Miles, it would seem that the tenor of this
discussion gets you "resonating" at a pretty good pitch!

FarmHand offered some good food for thought to help clear things
up.

If it oscillates then it could be said to resonate or be in resonance.

Whaddya think Miles?  Are you resonating with this?
