I'm still working on a JT and having no luck.Except bad luck!triffid




I made my third one today.
So same neg results
so bad circuit design?
bad wire?
Bad coil winding?


Bad circuit most likely?
then coil winding?
bad wire unlikely?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTAqGKt64WM  My circuit I chose for a joule thief.I did not wind my coil the same way.Nor has it been soldered the same way.triffid

Been busy the last fews days with other stuff(heat wave here in st.louis).Heres something interesting about heavy water
http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2006-07/ice-capades  .Normal water is slightly radioactive anyway and KaCl is slightly radioactive too.

Hi All, I finally made my JT work.I used the circuit shown here,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTAqGKt64WM.  They also showed me that I was soldering together the wrong two wires coming off of the ferrite core.So I solder together the two wires together they showed and now it works!!!triffid

I hate to say it but one of my u-tube videos is misleading and I posted it here in this thread  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlOwf6KnkhY
I tried wiring the ferrite core the way he says and it will not work for me.triffid


But Now my JT works!!!

 I just happened to buy a crystal growing kit at the dollar tree store the other day for $1.00.I wondered what kind of crystal material it had in it.It turns out to be monoammonium phosphate number 4 red(food coloring red).  http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/crystals.htm
explains how to grow these crystals and more.triffid




It has .81 oz of monoammonium phosphate in it.

I still need conductive string.Im busy now trying to survive the heat wave that hit st.louis.Im working on JTs now.I rewound my bad toroid coil so it will work now.I finally found some pieces of flint rock and tried the voltmeter on them.I was able to get 2/1000 volts max from a piece of flint and aluminum foil(wrapped around the rock).triffid






I have been looking for flint for a while.I saw a lot of it when I was a kid.

I got my second JT built and its running.My voltmeter is not advanced enough to see the spikey nature of this type of electricity.But the LED sees it and thats all I need I guess?triffid


My voltmeter sees 1.52 volts max but the LED lights up.I rewired the thing about three times before I hooked up the LED.I was trying to read increased voltages with a voltmeter that will not read them(I need a scope).The JT did not seem to be working until I hooked up the LED.
Then I caught on to the fact my voltmeter will never see this type of voltage.

Ok I have found my conductive thread.I will have to order it online.The good news is this stuff can be soldered.

I have been able to get a voltage of 3/1000s maximum from flint and aluminum foil.triffid

The highest voltage from any rock I have tested.

Cryptocrystalline is a rock texture made up of such minute crystals that its crystalline nature is only vaguely revealed even microscopically in thin section by transmitted polarized light. Among the sedimentary rocks, chert and flint are cryptocrystalline. Carbonado, a form of diamond, is also cryptocrystalline. Volcanic  rocks, especially of the acidic type such as felsites and rhyolites, may have a cryptocrystalline groundmass as distinguished from pure obsidian (acidic) or tachylyte, which are natural rock glasses. Onyx is also a cryptocrystalline.

How to wirewrap a crystal or a rock.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K50VS8GtZr8  Shes talking about jewelry of course but it applies to us too if we want to wire up a rock or two or three.I already know of a JT that works on 10/1000 of a volt.If I can get four flint rocks to output
3/1000 volts each and wired up in series.Then I should be able to get this JT working.triffid








IB,Did you seal your underwater cell?
