Joule Thief: JTEnhanced Current Input, Voltage Output Waveforms

It doesn’t seem right to call it a basic JT since the loopstick and capacitor make so much difference. So I’m calling the cap/loopstick version “JTEnhanced”. It is the basic circuit, using the 1K…

Joule Thief: LSGhostLight Voltage Rise from Added Capacitor

Does the LS “Crossover” circuit charge its own battery? Well, you can see the voltage going up when I hook up the 1uF bypass cap, and that’s definitely not electrolytic bounce. After reading gadgetmall’s…

Extreme High Voltage: TinselKoil 4 — MOT DC Tesla Coil w/ Blown Spark Gap Quenching

Here’s my “current” project: A small Tesla coil, with primary power from a Microwave Oven Transformer and a high-voltage Full Wave Bridge rectifier. I used a simple 2-element “blown” primary spark gap. In this…
