well with just a diode on the + side of the secondory i get 40 or 50 volt dc about double that ac reading
but it fills the cap to the 40 or 50 also but slower not instent
but i gues it would be instent with no load

this is strange im getting 190vdc and well the ac voltage is off the scale i mean litraly it is zeroing out dmm

Greetings,

I created a Penny Pill Jar Battery (with Bolt).
1 Jar gives an approximate voltage of .650 Volts.

Two of of them in series run a JT just fine !

Will be interesting to see how long it will last.
The Picture Below should explain.

Observer:

Nice idea!  By using just tap water, my guess is they should last quite a while.  We will see.  Good job.

The problem with digital multimeters is their inability to give any kind of true reading when checking these pulsed waveforms, and in some cases you can easily destroy them!! If the output was steady state DC then then a measurement can be taken. The JT waveforms are pulses which can be of a complex nature, rich in harmonics; the ideal instrument of course is an oscilloscope. If you are unsure of the output voltage amplitude you can put together a simple attenuator network by consisting of say three or four high value resistors connected in series, either 20K or 100K (keep the values the same) connect one end of the string to common ground -ve and the other end to you output. The output value will be divided down,  using 4 x 100k the last in the chain connected to ground will share 1/4 of the output. At least this way you prevent overloading your test instruments. The load on the circuit using the values suggested is insignificant. M

this is my latest joule thief experement
i have seen somthing like it befor here but my winds or less and more in places anyway ill post some pics
the thing that has shocked me is this has been running 15 hours on a aaa 1.2v 650ma battery
the parts are the toriod i got out of an old stereo it was around the power cable best i can work out is it the same size as the goldmine 5/for a doller 1inch od and 1/2inch id
resister is a 1k
transister is 2n3904
the 2 diodes i dont know salvage lol
the toriod hase 7 base winds 7 coller winds they are two pickups coils of 15 winds each they are wired in series with a diode on the positive sides of the coil so basicly a 30 wind pickup
i have 11 leds lit what i have left from the 100 i got lol ups they really dont handle abuse well

Pirate,

Thanks for the compliment.

If these things last till the metal is gone... there is alot of power in 1 Pill Jar.

@all
IMPORTANT TIP?
Make daily CD ROM backups!!!
Now I know why I like to work on borrowed computers.  My SanDisk is around my neck on a lanyard all the time.

Greetings,

The Penny Pill Jar Battery Experiment is going well.
4 days and Counting... the batteries run better on their side for some reason,
LED is running Bright.

Anyways... I do have an Invention.
It could be a World Changer.

I'm thinking a (2 different metal)/(tap water) Battery could run for years if not a decade.
       Could be wrong... but I am an optimist. ;o)

A large scale model of this that charges your 12Volt Battery system used in Solar/ Wind 24/7 might be the ticket.... Yea
