"Wow! There is so much disinformation that I don't know where to start.
Joule Thief is not an OU device and it is impossible for a joule thief to create radiant electricity (RE). JT's operate in well known electrical engineering parameters and none of it is abnormal, mysterious, or even that interesting.
SM stated that you could build a TPU with a few dollars (far less than $25k) and a couple hours of your time. All it takes is knowledge of the coils and how they interact. He never said you need a lab full of equipment.
Reactive power is not some sort of free energy source. If all of the reactive power became real power you would still not have something for nothing. There is no mechanism of gain there, only the misunderstanding of people who talk too much.
The following should be read by anyone thinking reactive power leads to OU:

Joule Thief can be an OU device it puts out more then it requires to run it. I call that OU. It doesn't MAKE RE it captures it and converts it....big difference!!!!!!!!!
Second did you see SM's lab? That is EASY 25k worth in todays money. Not just the lab equipment but parts too. I can order a little shopping list of parts and it will run up several K just filling up component racks. 25k is dirt cheap.
Without a full RF lab it cant be done which is why not many kitchen table builders have got very far. He also said that unless you have like 20+ years EE/RF tech experience you probably wont even get close.... and he is right after 5+ years on here only 2 or 3 got very close but not quite close enough.
While its true the finished product may only cost 39.99 in parts the precise component makeup cost a bit more in R & D.
One only has to look at a cellphone to realize that cheap PAYG that cost 9.99 actually cost 25 years a few million man hours and $500,000,000,000,000 to get you that 9.99 cellphone.
Look here they are right on the money he knows exactly how reactive power creates REAL watts. I put my notes in here between his statements.

Improvement and Demonstration on July 19, 2010
We tried the three layer toroid. The first attempt was to put the Joule Thief at the lowest layer and two transformer type windings as two top layers. There were some improvements but the top most layer showed significant decrease in induced voltage.
We then put the Joule Thief as the middle layer. To our greatest delight, the Output shot up. The continuous Output Power was 56 watts. The steady AC Output Voltage was 14 Volts even though we varied the load – resistors and LEDs. The Input Power from the 1.1V AA battery was less than 0.4 watts. That gave us a COP of greater than 160.
Load tank should be positioned in the Center of a VAR tank where joules potential converts more readily to amps as a center tap dipole. ..See Tesla transformer coupling papers. Read Don Smith.
It looked like we could get closer to resonance and extract much more lead-out energy with the new arrangement. In a few days, our Output Power increased from a few watts to over 50 watts. Our team is extremely optimistic in producing a 1KW lead-out energy device in the very near future. The following are a list of possible areas of further research.
1. Size of the Toroid – Bigger appears to be better. TRUE more aperature area for Radiant energy
2. Number of turns of wire in the Toroid – More appears to be better. More wire in bifilar better chance of creating near perfect canceled flux and high reactive VAR values.
3. Core material of the Toroid – No concrete data to show direction yet. Cores of higher permeability create more OU.
4. The use of capacitors in the Joule Thief – appears to help
5. The transistors in the Joule Thief – the larger ones appear to help More drive the better.
6. The LCR circuit in the Primary of the Joule Thief – tuning helps Standard RF application leads to more OU
7. The LCR circuit in the Secondary of the Joule Thief – tuning helps DITTO
8. The LCR circuit in the Secondary of the Transformer – major factor CORRECT impedance matching as RF tuning to max high impedance to low impedance load.
9. The number of turns of wire in the Secondary of the Transformer – important to connect the right way – mixing clockwise and anti-clockwise will lower output. Correct RE is polarized.
10. The use of thin copper wire appears to be much better than the lamp wire. Only because more wire leads to greater inductance. The Q is increased dramatically with thick windings.
11. Use of Signal Generator instead of battery – can vary frequency.
12. The lower the frequency, the higher the lead-out energy (results so far).
13. Higher L and Higher C values appear to lead-out more energy. Increases VSWR and provides more VARS within device parameter.
14. The Pulsing can either be AC or Pulsed DC. Pulsed DC should be slighty better.
15. The present Joule Thief and Transformer arrangement appeared to have build-in feedback mechanism.
Device will work much better as CLASS C.
16. The Output is capable of recharging batteries now. We can already demonstrate Battery A recharging Battery B and vice versa. A few (6 LED lights) could be on all the time.
Yep sounds simple enough.
The chance of our team producing a 1KW lead-out device for the poor countries within three months is excellent. We want to share everything so that products can come out quickly to benefit the World.
Best of luck and you are on the right track!
