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 Joule Thief LED/charger circuit that is being driven automatically by a modified ‘solar garden light’ circuit. In this video I show energy being gathered by a solar cell and put into…
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 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…
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 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 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…
This shows a battery that uses calcium cloride to draw moisture out of the air and help run a copper and magnesium battery. I also show a simple Joule Thief circuit that uses the…
A Joule Thief night light made from an empty plastic water bottle filled with glass spheres and plain water. Powered by a single AA battery. (This is the same AA battery used in all of my video experiments to date) This is actually a lot brighter than …
