New Jewel Thief "Resonate LCR Circuit" Much less energy draw....

[Tink]

I very much doubt a white led will run with just one loop of wire.
I think the red led lights up because it is a direct connection to the 1.5 Volt source (red leds do light up at about 1.5 Volts you see!).

This is a typical boost circuit . The one wire is actually an inductor . I have build several . The inductor looks like a resistor . most of them are light blue with color stripes indication the micro henerys . I posted a schematic way back in the Jt thread somewhere and made a nice Christmas led with a diffuser glob laster year . . Mine pulled about 8 mas still to high and higher than My latest normal jt using 2n2222a . It pulls 2 ma full power on a 1 volt battery lighting up a super bright 10mm white led PLUS charges a Super Cap . I found out by trial and error that component placement make a world of difference on both input and output  of the transistor . I made two Jts both with the same parts but put them in different locations and got  drastically different inputs and out puts . here is the video of My 2 ma  i gave to Groundloop  . I tried to make a duplicate but put the parts on different places ,same hook up and same parts but could not make the replicate draw less than 10 ma  so if you duplicate  i would recommend you put them in exactly the order i have in the z Video ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q2VnPpvKdI

Gadgetmall,
The man said in his movie "one turn of insulated wire", he meant that his super Joule-thief will also work with a one turn of insulated wire as an aircore coil.
I do agree with you that just one loop of wire is in fact a coil, what I find hard to believe is that his circuit will oscilate at a frequency of some 400 or more MegaHertz.
I think that his one loop of wire just works as a direct connection to the red led and his oscilator circuit doesn't oscilate at all.
It will work with normal coils though as he has stated.

Tell me where to buy this miracle red LED that runs on 1.5V.

David7630274,
Calling me a liar?
Red leds do light up with just a normal 1.5 Volt battery without a series resistor needed (although not very bright).
Since I have some 700 red leds laying about you can buy them from me, but of course these leds are magical so I will charge you 10 Euros a piece.

Tinu,
   Mad rush, I agree that it's titled poorly.  Any suggestions?
...

My suggestion? Definitely to change the title (AND the description, where applicable). Something like “Hopefully…” or “It seems that…” or maybe “I had an OU dream” will do it.

...
Ahh, things are all moving at the speed of light here   and what if he's tapped into it...

Quote Lindemann: Tesla said in patents that there are 2 different types of particles.  One is electron, other is aether. If you block electron via a super fast charge gap with over 1 million cycles and 100KV then cold electricity appear from the pure flux of aether. No electron can go that fast. So the thing is to purify the electron from the aether. This can be done only via a spark with smaller duration than 10mhz. So all your circuits are useless in this realm.

SM

It may well be. But it needs to be proved.
See, I know for sure (please don’t argue with me) that aether is made of tiny tiny peanuts. But for some reason I still can’t get peanut butter out of it. 

Best regards,
Tinu

David,

  Where did this circuit come from?  Is it the BEMF lighting the LEDs?  Do you understand the circuit enough that you can explain the oscillation and output source to me, please?   

  Gadgetmall, Tink or Tunu, you guys are somewhat correct about our measurements. The bigger brighter coils draw more current.  Doubled my previous draw. Something to do with specific or clarity in frequency? 

   This video is titled "LIGHTNING MAKER", he's got this huge spark gap going with a 1.5volt battery, and no collector tube.  We are getting so close (current magnification).  KV from a AA battery, 5 hour run time.  Huge white spark, needs a precharged electrophorus collector tube.

if you will follow my posts in the joule thief section you will see the schematic
for the hv from a AA battery and watch my videos

I took some frequency measurements on my replication of this circuit, I was surprised to see that the pnp transistor isn't switching on and off, but the circuit won't work without it.

I think it's strange that there's no path C-E, ..0.L on the meter during operation.

Frequencies across C-E on the pnp are around 25kHz.... a recent test with a switch on the pnp transistor and i still get no frequency reading on the PNP and on the NPN, I get 11kHz.

It should be noted, in the original diagram at the beginning of the thread, that it appears as though the C and E junction on the PNP transistor have been mislabeled, although this doesn't make a difference for some transistors, it will on others.  I noticed much better results when flipping the transistor around.

david7630274, the circuit is more flexible than stated, actually.

I stand firm on my red led theory, regardless of whether or not the particular one in question is a 1.5V light or not, the fact is that most RED led's don't consume nearly as much power as others, just as well, there are in fact 1.5V led's available., 3mm die types I think.  I don't feel like arguaing about the red light though, the circuit does work!

Moving on! ...It would be interesting to figure a way out to get a secondary on this thing, limit the cross-current - ..perhaps another inductor, and a large capacitor between the two.  I keep getting the washtub image.

It may be advisable to redraw the circuit diagram, it's crowded, and things are running over themselves, and the CE mismatch ( unless someone has a negative resistance idea they want to expound upon ).
