Oh i forgot about using pulses and in relativity to the eye what we can see.. it might work then.. just create a variable pwm or even use 2 transistors and a pot to control frequency and width to send power pulses
what youre asking about will not make it so the batteries last longer, youre stil using the same amount of power, (imho) youre just using it in short bursts. Like if i had a bucket of water I could throw the whole thing on you or I could do a drop at a time, but still theres the same amount of water being used. thats what i think anyway
Nice Video. I really really liked your video, youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed check out this site called tubeviews . net It has really done wonders for me, I have build 3 channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on now.
Pirate, this is your old buddy. Yes, what you describe is found easiest in a shake magnet flashlight. Takes pulses from the coil through the bridge, then charges a cap and or lipo batts. Some have 3.6v 40 ma nicads. Hook that to your joule thief, runs them for weeks. I have the largest dual joule thief in the world, 20 pounds 40,000 in 8 coils windings over a steel alloy sheet toroid. What can it do? You wouldnt believe me.
Hey, good to hear from you and, good idea. I had taken one of these apart during my earth battery tests a while back. Got my first supercap out of it.
You need to post some videos on your super JT. I would love to see it and yes, I would believe you on what it does. Post about it over on OU too why don't you? I have to see this thing. Take care,
Nicely done Bill.I think AlienNRG gives good advice.Check out some off lidmotors vids.He has used that low powered 555 with great results.Regards jonnydavro.
Thanks Jonny! Yes, I agree about AlienNRG's advice. I just ordered a drinking bird today and, from the same site, I got 2 of those funky magnets you are using so I can replicate what you have done. (If I can) If the bird does not work, I will try the 555 as suggested. Thank you.
Without designing something that would work best with a microprocessor..setting up a 555 timer is the only idea I can think of. Use the LMC-CMOS 555 for really low power usage. Put a couple of potentiometers to dial in the duty cycle to work with your super caps.
Thanks, I was hoping to stay away from anything that would take power but, this 555 you suggest is probably as efficient as it gets. Wilby on OUdotcom suggested the drinking bird option. When the bird dips (no power required) he makes a brief connection to the caps. I love this idea so much I have to try it first. Thanks.
If you pulsed the capacitor, would you pulse it long enough for a full charge, or could it be better to keep it in the mid range of the charging curve, where it would charge faster.

Dipping/drinking birds. That idea would have never crossed my mind. I can't wait to see the video :-}

Mine neither. Wilbyinebriated from OU suggested it. I think it is a stroke of brilliance. (If it works)

To be honest, I don't know. This will have to be tested several ways. Thanks.
