This is two Joule Pirates (Joule Thieves) wired in parallel running off of one AA battery powering a 48″ tube. (40 watts) The funny thing is that the tube is brighter with just one circuit turned on than with my single circuit experiments from before. …
Prolly the closest I will get to an accurate Lasersaber replication of the Super Joule Ringer 2.0. A friend of mine wound this who doesn’t do electronics and I think that’s pretty cool. He…
This is another variation that’s a little cheaper to build and will give just a bit more light, but does not have charging. So, this is a Super Joule Ringer 2.0, but Tuned. I…
This is my first practicable application of the Joule Ringer design. This has very real world value to me. LaserHacker.com for more info. Schematic link: laserhacker.com
Here I show how easy and quick it is to make a simple printed circuit board for your Joule Thief. Copper clad board, the resist pen, and Ferric Chloride etching solution are available at…
Full spec, details and solution below. A variant of the Cool Joule circuit by TinManPower. See his channel for the original circuit and ongoing experiments. See Lidmotor’s channel for the circuit diagram and his…
This is my version of the Basic Wireless JT. I was inspired to build the LED bank by Sohei Thoth, and I’ve been considering powering a JT with my wireless power system. So here’s…
This is the ‘Automatic Solar Joule Thief’—-“Hewey”–boxed. The device is a simple Joule Thief LED/charger circuit with an automatic solar charger attached. It uses super capacitors instead of batteries to store the energy. “Hewey”…
This is my new and improved earth battery running 4 ultra bright 10mm 28000 MCD LEDs. I am using a standard Joule Thief circuit wound (bifilar) on a ferrite toroid this time. An N3904…
This is a Joule Thief Flashlight. I simply modified a cheap 5 super bright LED flashlight that ran on 3 AA batteries by gutting it and using a simple Joule thief circuit which now…
