Can anyone tell me if a steel washer will work in place of a ferrite toroid?

Thanks.

a toroid is not required, you can wind the coils on a rusty nail if you want to. i would also add that you don't even need a core. i have a joule thief that uses a air core crystal radio coil, i have one where the coil is wound directly onto the body of transistor.
There is no news. There's the truth of the signal. What I see. And, there's the puppet theater...

Lol those are some extreme conditions, I was sort of starting to think that a JT needs luck. It makes my joulethief, was pretty close to generic specs, which didn't work look bad. But I'll retry when I have the exact parts and some electronic equipment.

Thanks for that info. It will make making the coils alot easier.
