Jeanna:

Bravo!  Great video and great work.

I have a name for your new set-up:  Jeanna's Power Plant.

Excellent work.

Bill                          PS  Try a larger supercap and hook it to one of your Fuji JT's and run you LOA light from it.  I believe this will work.

Anyone else watching the gotoluc self-runner resonate coil project? 
Heads Up!
He's now saying that mosfet's capacitance is critical to self-run (mosfet is mandatory).

I see that there is a link for the energetic forum with the video.
Do you know  if there is a thread started  on this site for that?

I am thinking of expermenting  with the idea.
I can think of several ways that it might  be used.

I would  go to the energetic  forum and  post there but  I am registered  there but unable to post....I have emailed them  but didn't  get a reply.

Gary,
   Go to energetic and find a moderator, send him a message or post.  It usually takes around 2 weeks, lock happens when you change your profile/email.  Same thing happens here. Also try using old email?

Thanks for  the link

30 pages.........looks like I have a little reading to do.

I will be posting there once I test a few ideas.

Same email and profile.

I did not post there much........then not for quite a while..........so I am guessing that they have a time limit on how long you can be inactive without getting  shut out.

I think I will  just stay with the   thread here.

Hi,
@ All
Maybe this circuit could be useful for some thing. Any one can improve this. I'm not strong in creating circuits. I was trying to feedback JT. Still it's not OU.
But I just start.

tysb3

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to do with your circuit.
Is that 2 JTs running in series?

How much  of the  thread have you  read?

It seems to me that  all the JT circuits that may  have some OU going on  involve using  secondarys

Hi ,resonanceman.
Now just about strong pulse about 75V, or more. I don't  tune this enough.
Secondaries on the next.
Now I put to charge 1 ded 6V dead alkaline battery on first jt ( on "+" and "-" C1 )  and 1 ded 6V rechargeble battery on second jt ( straight on C  Q2  and "-" C1 )
I'll keep ower night and see how to change voltage on feeding 1.3V rech. battery.
I change ZD1 to 6.8V and put R2 1.3K

Hi tysb3,

The JT thread is all about keeping the circuit as basic and as simple as possible for a given output. The whole concept is to minimise the current draw from your source battery while at the same time producing the highest useful output from your circuit. Take a closer look over the past projects that have been posted in this thread to get some ideas of how things have steadily developed over time.

@all:  A couple of days ago, my wife was at a store (Walmart), and picked me up 3 used disposable cameras.  I have successfully removed the transformer, and the large capacitor.  Thanks to the posts on this thread, I was able to wire it up correctly, and get over 300v out of a 1.5v battery. This is amazing. I do plan on hooking this up to my Newman motor real soon.

thanks to every one for their help.

Hi, crowclaw
This is simple as possible JT  :)  who's feeding another  simple as possible JT (instead lamps or leeds) who give strong high voltage pulse and feedback source battery at the same time.
It's only 2 transistors.
I see on this tread circuits with 2 transistors
If it's too  complicated , than sorry

Tsyb,

Great work.
I am new to the Joule Thief Circuit...
        although I theorized a couple years ago that a ferro core / resonance could have some interesting effects.

After building my 1st Joule Thief Circuit one of the first things I wondered was..

                What would happen if I fed a Joule Thief into another Joule Thief ?

Heck... make it 5 or 10, but 2 is a good start.

To those knowledgeable of this thread.

           What is the status of experiments pertaining to feeding the JT into another JT into another JT ect?

Hi, The Observer,
ty,
what we win on this circuit - feedback source battery , strong (amperage), high voltage pulse.
what we loose - loose too mach frequency :'(    ;)
