Joule Thief 101
#1 High Efficiency Joule Thief Type Oscillator 01-11-2023, 02:16 AM Hi all, experimenting with something that is easier and low cost to build and experiment with. This version of the joule thief is based upon the supercharged joule thief circuit i noticed recently. This modification to the circuit, increases efficiency dramatically.
How to Make a Joule Thief Boost Converter in 2022 Joule thief
If you look for something to power a LED from a single battery you will sooner or later end up with a Joule Thief. The classic design is linked at Wikipedia, a more modern versions only uses a single inductor - like 99% of all solar garden lights..

Hyper-Efficient Joule Thief. More efficient Joule Thief circuit based on a design by Tim Williams. It features somewhat less inductance than typical circuits, and gains efficiency by switching the transistor faster, approx. 50 MHz in practice. Best such circuit I've seen so far. It's a blocking oscillator.
Joule Thief Ringer Circuit Diagram Circuit Diagram
Building a Simple Joule Thief To build this, you'll need the following components: · Battery, rated at (or discharged to) ~ .5 - 1.5V · 1k ohm resistor · 2N2222 NPN transistor or similar · Coupled (2 separate windings, 4 connections) toroid inductor —2mH (millihenry) and 10mH tested, many others will work · LED
2pcs Hand Crank Supercapacitor & Super Efficiency Joule Thief AA 1
Super Efficient Joule Thief DIY. Testing using Oscilloscope known as a "scope", to see the form of the wave or "waveform" can be analyzed for such properties.
Joule Thief Charging A Capacitor
The Joule Thief Circuit is a voltage booster circuit which converts a constant low voltage input into a periodic output of a higher voltage. This circuit can be most often seen lighting an LED with an almost dead AA battery. The peaks in voltage occur rapidly, causing the LED to flash at a very fast rate.
5 Joule Thief CUBE FARM
The Joule Thief or blocking oscillator circuit transfers a low voltage, high current input to a higher voltage, lower current output, with a low efficiency and high losses. It's a very simple circuit but has serious deficiencies.
Simple Joule Thief Circuit Using BC547 NPN Transistor
For the typical joule thief, you'll need the following: battery in the 1-2V range. 1k resistor. NPN transistor (2N2222 used here) LED. ferrite coupled toroid inductor (2mH tested) Toroid Joule Thief. (Image Credit: Jeremy Cook) Wire your circuit as shown in the schematic and image above, and your LED should light up.
Is that a joule thief?
8x more Output from a Simple Joule Thief Circuit. While developing this overunity circuit he was amazed to see an 8 fold or 8x improvement in the power output, which simply indicated an 8 times more output being produced by his circuit, compared to the input supply power. The results were distinctly evident on the oscilloscope screen which he.
Joule Thief
A common project among electronics tinkerers is the joule thief, a self-oscillating circuit that can "steal" the remaining energy in a battery after the voltage has dropped so low that most.

Simple DIY setup to allows testing of joule thief designs for efficiency, current, voltage, frequency, etc.OTHER JOULE THIEF VIDEOSHow To Make A Joule Thief.
High Efficiency Regulated Joule Thief 4 Steps (with Pictures
Joule Thief Efficiency Testing. Just seeing where I can push a 20-turn JT circuit and maintain a relatively stable output. Currently set to power a 3v LED with 0.9VDC. Usually joule thiefs can be made to work with as low as 200-300mV, as long as you use a germanium transistor. The only condition is that the Vcc must be enough to enable the.
Super Efficient Joule Thief YouTube
Normally the Joule thief produces output voltage, which value is difficult to predict. Without load (the LED) I have measured voltages over 30 V. I wanted to create a Joule thief, which can be used to supply some small electronic devices, but having well defined and stable output voltage.
Joule Thief Single Cell LED Driver
Joule thief efficiency evaluations « on: February 04, 2019, 05:00:29 pm » A decade ago (yes it has been that long) I became interested in joule thieves, and their outstanding capabilities to light up LED from very low voltages. Although the basic circuit works fine, it can be significantly improved.
