This is my earth battery illuminating 100 leds! I am using 2 supercaps (2.3 volt, 10 Farad each) in parallel with the earth battery to my modified Fuji Joule Thief circuit. This is connected…
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…
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…
I charged a 2.3 volt 10 Farad supercap with an AA battery for several seconds and hooked the cap to my modified Fuji circuit and powered it to illuminate 100 leds. No batteries included, just a single supercap. More on Overunitydotcom in the Joule Thie…
A new Joule Thief circuit running on 3 supercaps. (2 are 2.3v 10F and 1 is 5.5v .47F) When the supebright led (28600 MCD) burns out after a one second charge to the caps, I can touch my finger lightly to the top of the transistor (2N3904) and the led l…
24/7 running digital clock, no battery ever needed. This clock normally sits on my workbench and has been running for about a week now using just ambient daylight. The Polyacene cell charges up in…
