Joule Thief 101

[Magluvin]

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.

Just reading over my post, I have one more thing to say.....

The only thing you had to say in the beginning was that the is no resonance available in a JT. Then it was that the capacitance in the windings is insignificant. Not at the freq smoky was telling us of.    We can learn a lot more about resonance as a team by experimenting together and each happening on different things and ways of going about it.

But you will not let that happen. You want the thread to go in your direction. Misdirection that is. How can I look at it all these past weeks and think any differently? Its all so visibly clear that you dont want us to do the job. And as long as we try you will be there with pages of posts separating everything that has to do with the job making it a huge mess to read over.

Actually
Farmhand
your a motor head ,have you ever seen 8 HP per cubic inch on a normally aspirated recip ?
yes it can be argued that the rpm is taking normally aspirated out of the equation.

so what ?? it takes a cavity resonant system to a whole new level and should not be possible [in the books]

And sea Monkey as far as the Buzz bomb engine goes ..there is no engine without the resonance
that is the sole defining operating principle ..and one of the simplest ICE's there is ?

which is exactly why I showed MH the Monstrous hole in his "Brad your an idiot for saying resonance has anything to do with an ICE " argument.
and to be perfectly Clear just one of many holes...
MANY !!

and Johans point is that these huge resonant pressure waves are opening new paths to understanding

and just getting started .



resonance and good ICE design go hand in hand
will MH apologize for his ignorant attack on Brad

calling him all manner of insults for claiming this ??

that will never happen ....

something to do with Karma ??
*
I see mh's post below about scrapping
you call him all manner of insults because of YOUR ignorance on resonance
publicly use this to try and humiliate him

YOUR IGNORANCE ??
and you wonder why he's upset ?? and wants to get all Footbally on you ??

you self righteous Putz

Brad wanted to scrap like a football hooligan and just this one time I decided to stand my ground.  That's what determined the direction of the thread.  The truth behind people's true character comes out in times like that.

So, time to move on and do your thing.

When arguments are presented in the course of a
discussion I never take what some would think an
"insult" seriously or personally.  People get excited and
often say the darndest things.  Banter can be very
colorful indeed.  In most cases it is just a matter of
good friends throwing colorful language at each other.
Sailors and Marines do that constantly.  It's all in good
spirit and just a show.

By the way, I agree about the reciprocating engine.  It
is an oscillator and it does resonate.  A tunable variable
frequency oscillator.  In fact there may be more than one
resonance at work at any given time as the engine is
running.  Some have built in anti-resonance dampers to
minimize the stresses.
