Here's a link to a Joule Thief Light weekend project for those of you who want to utilize the pierce circuit with jt light for frequency control like Power To Be did.

Joule Thief Light Replication
http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/joulethief

I'm trying to put together the pierce circuit and joule thief light right now.  I could use some help from some of you electrical guys.  I don't want to screw this project up and Power To Be wasn't specific about what specific subcomponents to get for our pierce circuit.  He did mention the various components, but tell us any specifics about those subcomponents.  Well, I need to know what specific types of subcomponents to get for the following:

Joule Thief Light (Specific Subcomponents):

transistor  (Okay, have specific value of 2n3904 for it)

diode
#1)  Which specific diode would be best suited for this project?

Rectifier?
Power To Be mentioned needing  rectifier too.  This must be the diode he is referring too here?
Cell
#2)  What specific battery would be best for the application?

Toroid
#3)  What specific size of ferrite ring should be used for optimum results?
#4)  What size of wire should be used when winding the toroid for optimum results?

Resistor  (okay, have specific value of 1K for it)

Pierce Circuit (Specific Subcomponents):

Crystal Oscillator = (X1)
#1)  Which specific crystal oscillator?

Resistor = (R1)
#2)  Which specific resistor?

NOT Gate = (U1)
#3)  Does it matter which NOT gate?

Capacitor = (C1) & (C2)
#4)  Which specific capacitors are needed?

#5)  What size wire would be best suited for this project?

You really should use pot's in place of your resistors for the tuning it will make you life a lot easier. The JT is already everything you need n a circuit to replicate the correct frequency. Do you have a scope?

Hi Altrez,

Great to hear from you!!

I have a scope but I have no idea how to use it yet.  I knew I would be needing one so I got one.

I have the cheap pond fogger too, but the circuit is the only thing holding me up right now.  I have a donated lawn mower to test it on too.  So, we're trying to show Power To Be some progress. 

Thanks for the extra information.  I'm not an electrical guy at all and need help in this area.  The guy who usually helps me says this is all a waste of time and won't help me.  So, I need help from another source. 

Best Regards,

Right, frequency is easily controlled with cap and coil, just like in TT, where each coil is tuned with matching cap. Horizontal arrangement produces consistent electrostatic effect needed.

I have produce amazing ionization of atomize water with a differential  exciter  running at over 5 milion cycles per second.

Altrez,
Did you look into zinc sulphide for your project?.

Yes I have thank you for sharing. Its very interesting, the IR effects that is. It would seem that it could be used in a lot of different ways once someone understood wave lengths =) "Again sono opened my eyes to all this"

could this be a 24/7 power source? <-- that's a hint guys.

Question for the group as I am sure Power to be already understands this:

what happens when you take  a 1 THz frequency collection crystal an attach a ground potential to it?

-Altrez

EDIT: Again the way I figured this out was from the sono research. If you are having issues you can learn quit a lot from that area of study. It really helped me to understand why its important to see the waves.. Remember every thing communicates.

Hi Altrez,

Great to see you posting again!!  Thanks for all the interesting tips too!!  I so appreciate them.

Hi Solvenia,

I am inquiring that china company you posted about the transducers.  I will order them.  The 45khz at 35watts.  I have a question though.  Is the joule thief circuit the controller and power supply for the transducer?  That Mary at the company is asking what PCB I need and what are my power requirements after reading these last few pages on this thread I think I just realized I dont even need their PCBs for the transducer.  Am I correct?  It would certainly save me money and time.  If you are near my location I could drop one off or mail it to you I want to order 5 of them. 
If any of you were at the energy conference and remember the Mag heater.  In the past week I realized what it would take to build one and ordered the magnets and put them onto a plywood disc.  Wow it turns water to steam rapidly within a minute or two.  Whatever material you put in front of it, copper is my favorite, it heats up very rapidly with what? Magnetic waves! 
The E3 plugs I found out were resistor plugs they have a value of 4.9 Kohms so they do not work well with my CDI setup.  They put out a very weak spark normally and with the resistor its not much better.   I am using the AEM 4 channel off of amazon.com but I have found other resistorless plugs that will work and want to use copper plug wires with it.
Told you I was still around
