Joule Thief 101

[Pirate88179]

Very simple MH
thank you for the analogy..
so to understand you ,, the foot is the path to understanding in your analogy of the cars top speed.

point and stomp [foot on gas]   

so maybe with a similar analogy towards breaking the Glass[don't worry NZ the Wine is gone]

the hammer [or frequency]

maybe you should Mix it up ??
the hammer and the foot ??



PS Johan
50CC is the limit in most USA regions where a license is not required [or license plates and insurance]
to drive on Public streets [do to power limitations of such small displacement] .

they call them MoPeds ..pedals and a small motor.

I think this will change that ...Yikes

Now I have to ask a question [so I stay on topic here]

How fast will it go [or HP calcs??] ??..and does it resonate ? ..it has the most unusual exhaust pipe ??

it resonates with me

They also have to have an automatic transmission to be legal in most states...no shifting allowed.  Wow, my scooter has like 3.3 hp and that one has 24?  Mine will do 49 mph, I'll bet that one would go over 100 if geared right.

PS  You can hear it when it hits resonance with that tuned pipe.  Here, we called it being "on the pipe" back in the 2 stroke Kart racing days.

Check out this 2 stroke scoot in the above link.  It has trouble keeping the front wheel on the ground when hitting the tuned pipe.  This scoot has 28 hp.

Here is a good video that demonstrates resonance showing acoustic levitation.

You are missing some information MH,, think about it and it is so simple you will smack yourself on the head when you get it.

Why don't you smack yourself on the head for being a human prop in a criminal con job that was busted by the FBI?

Here is what your benefactor is saying right now:

Our Mission was to develop a mechanical solution to energy production, during the journey we unlocked an obvious and simple answer - Gravity.

I am looking for the person that wants to fund our next model and receive matching ownership of my company.

Once a begging lowlife always a begging lowlife.

This thread may help someone not get deluded into giving their money away to a resonance criminal con like that poor old lady in British Columbia gave $120,000 CDN to another group of resonance con artists.  Observe how people can "talk the resonance talk" for years and yet they can't even answer two simple questions about it.

Strawman what?  I am not putting any words in your mouth.

Analogies work very well.  What we are seeing is the usual; weak-kneed observers of the sheer folly of Brad objecting to the question because of some imaginary "missing details" and saying nothing.  We are even seeing people get aggressive, sort of like saying, "How dare you question our resonance party line?"

With respect to your comments and questions about resonance, I don't know what you are talking about.  Damping forces attenuate resonance, they don't maintain resonance.

Just state what you are going to state and make it clear.  Articulate your questions properly.  You justifiably got push-back from me for your "smack yourself on the head" comment.  What are you on the "warpath" for?  I have never seen you be so aggressive.  Do you object to having ideas challenged?

Go ahead, make a logical descriptive argument about how a "resonant Joule Thief" is supposed to be more efficient.  Define the efficiency.  Define the resonance.  State exactly how it is supposed to work, draw up some timing diagrams and make a schematic.
