Joule Thief 101

[MileHigh]

Yes indeed, Farmhand's posting was great.

I suppose there is some merit in what you have to say but there was more than one person resonating.  There is a very familiar resonant drone about the magical benefits of resonance.  It's a drone that has been sounding for years, people going in circles.  I tried to destabilize the "harmony of going in circles."  So the question is will people continue to drone on walking around in the same old circles, or will somebody break free?

Well why not make a thread about the subject you want to prove with the wine glass? If nobody shows up, then you will know how many people are interested in the subject? And all the page after page, day after day will be dead on topic and most everything on resonance with a wine glass will be there.

Here it is about joule thief basics. 101. So maybe if its all here on the basics, I dont see a problem with adding more to those basics, as it is a joule thief circuit we are dealing with.

But just because someone says that we can reach resonant freq with these and they light the leds longer that way, doesnt mean you have to push prod and never ending pestering of others here to do your bidding.

You try to belittle Brad for a missing hyphen in a word. For what??  Shall I go back and find some of your misspellings and point them out to, who? The readers? Or were you just trying to make Brad feel bad??? What was your intention there, really? ?  What was the goal you had in pointing that out? ??

I see just a couple posts back you use the word 'retarded'  and not in the meaning of timing of an ICE.  What if someone here has someone in their family that has problems that can be associated with that word, like down syndrome, etc. Do you believe that word is socially correct these days? Do you not know that you could be offending others here?? Anywhere??  Maybe you have more to learn about communicating with people properly than most everyone here.

I just pm Stefan about a moderated thread and I told him my main reason for the request. I cannot let you in that thread to do what you do. Cant work like that. Make a thread where you can make comments or whatever about my thread. But you wont do it in mine.

Well thats all the time I have for this back and forth tonight. Got bench?

We need balance, now do a rant about Brad and Chet.   

The debate is essentially over, and the wine glass came up in the discussion.  You definitely should want to understand how a wine glass resonates, especially considering how simple it is.

You don't need a moderated thread, because I won't post on any thread you start.

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.

"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."

But maybe nobody had done that before here. Maybe nobody was even looking for it. Maybe if the led wasnt lighting with higher resistances, then they just lowered the resistance till it lit to their liking, not fathoming that there could be a resonant freq in the transformer that could be reached by scanning that no light from the led area of the resistor scan. And maybe someone said they have done it finally. Says they will help in getting us to see it happen. But your distraction is fogging the whole idea into a wine glass contest.  Do I have to count the pages let alone the posts? There are sooo many other threads that people are reading and putting money into experimenting blowing way more of their poor old sucker dollars than in this thread. Yet, and do I have to quote you, you do it here to help the readers save money. But certainly not their time as they read on day after day. Have you seen the readership in this thread? 

Again. Im waisting time.  Got Bench?

I am a member of Bench Experimenter's Anonymous.     The money issue is a straw man argument.  I never said anything about that.  It takes more than one person to post in a thread - balance balance balance.  Good luck on your research and the wine glass questions stand and anybody is welcome to give it a shot.
