Joule Thief: Making a Quick and Dirty PCB Joule Thief
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…

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 a 2.3 volt 10F supercap which replaces my AA battery in the Joule Thief circuit. I charged this cap with a single AA battery for about 10 seconds prior to filming. I did the same thing about a week ago and the LED stayed illuminated for about 2…
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…
I am replicating a test I saw on the net where folks listened to their Joule thief circuits using an AM radio. Yes, this is still the same old AA battery as I used in all of my previous tests. Here I test a regular Joule Thief toroid circuit and the Fu…
This is my earth battery running a 48″ (40 watt) florescent tube. It is not at full brightness but it is lit and lit pretty well. It is much brighter than it appears on…
I’ve dusted off the SassyClassE SSTC for some experimentation, and I happened to discover an interesting thing. I can easily light up little LEDs near the coil using various hookups, but I was surprised…
Just a quick video of my new Luxo Lamp using my modified 60W Cree LED bulb powered from my Joule Thief Power Box. (AA battery) These Luxo lamps are very versatile and can be…
This is another replication of the Lidmotor/Jeanna Joule Thief circuit. I am using two Lights Of America 4 watt (25 watt equivalent) LED bulbs being driven by a hand-wound 3.375″ diameter Lidmotor/Jeanna circuit. (TIP…
Here we see a Joule thief circuit operating from a supercap only. No battery included. The supercap is 2.3 volts and 10F. I charged it up for 10 seconds with an AA (old) battery. I plan on getting larger caps for future experiments. For more informatio…
