One deceptive item is the D cell that is 2000 mAh. A _true_ D cell has a lot more than 2000 mAh. The one you have is really a AA cell inside of a hollow can that is the size of a D cell. Why? because the typical rechargeable AA cell is 2000 mAh. Also it is very light, not heavy like a true D cell
The video is very jumpy. In order to keep the 'magical' aura of the circuit, the author wants to keep the circuit a secret?? No schematic, so the viewer can't duplicate the circuit. Thank you.
@acmefixer1 Your comment I find as a compliment! If you think I faked this video, then I did pretty good. Funny part is, it's not faked at all. If you ever seen the old Radioshack NiCad batteries, you would know the values are right. The crappy cellphone I used to one handedly record this was to blurry to tell. I described the circuit exactly in replies, down to how many turns of wire in my replies. Those who cant figure out the circuit can just message me. It's as simple as it looks.
@acmefixer1 But clicking "dislike" because you don't understand what your looking at is pretty obtuse. I get the idea even if I drew you a schematic and demonstrated it right in front of your face, you would think I was hiding something anyway. For those who care to build this, a quick google search, and my comments and they are off reviving old chrystalized dead batteries in no time. It's not a mystery. Go build it, then come comment. Less than $10 in parts.
It's a simple combination of two circuits, and a lot more turns on the toroid. Not sure where you are getting your info, saying it only runs for hours not days. That couldn't be further from the truth. When running in LED mode, I have ran it for over 2 weeks on one dead AA battery. In charge mode I ran it for 1 1/2 days and it was still going when I disconnected it. Depends a lot on how much is left in the battery also. Yes, works with caps too but better with batteries.
When the switch is in position 1, the 7 LED's are hooked in parallel across the collector and emitter is the transistor. When the switch is in position 2, the LED's are removed from the circuit, and replaced by the 1n4007 diode. When you hook the charge battery to the circuit, it simply is crossing the collector and emitter also. The original JT Charger I saw was slightly different in that respect also. This appeared to yield best results for me.
I havn't seen a charger exactly like this, but all the components are totally inspired by work I've studied on the Joule Thief. First modification, is the toroid, it has 200 turns of #28 I think is the size. The circuit consists simply of a switch, 2n2222 transistor, 1k ohm resister, 7 leds, and a 1n4007 diode.
Thank you all for your support. I agree, people need to see this stuff. Like the video says, I'm not claiming free energy, but it sure makes you think for a minute!
That's just perfect! Shows what the JT can do, and the only reason to why the charging battery doesn't explode is because of the spikes this circuit gives. Its like a solid-state bedini charger, but maybe even better!

hi i am from indonesia.
i very happy look your video
i think i need this because verry hard to get electriciti in the many little island in indonesia
can you give scematic captain joule thief charger?
so i can make this for help many people in liitle island
please sent to my email mentaricomp@gmail.com

Good job Captain,
You covered so much in just this one presentation.
Thanks for doing this
