brilliant videos and work you have done here... do you have a schematic for wiring the solar charger to the joule thief?.... cheers. keep up the great work.
I have followed your Air Battery Experiments and I think you are inspirational! This Solar cell - Joule Thief Setup is amazing!!! If you can run leads down inside of a fallout shelter, this would make for some pretty awesome for emergency lighting.
Hi. I am new at this can you tell me how long the battery would power the lights and the schematic of the whole thing please and thank you for sharing. I am planning on building it for third world countries where the sun is plenty. :)
I could joke and state that soon scientists will probably say that even sound waves are also particles! But then I found out that they actually do, and they are called phonons.....
Go and find some information about vortex rings and you will see the shadowy border between particles and waves.
Wow very impressive! I have the same LED light and Fuji circuit but mine don’t light up all LED’s and the ones that are lit are barely lit. I cut the diode and solder one of the wires to the other side of the diode to the LED and the other to negative of battery. I removed the big capacitor and added an On/Off switch. Is there something I missed? I’m on the edge of getting some great use out of this but I need my lights to be as bright as yours. Please help, Thank you!
hi it would be nice to see u work on the free energy cerciuit.its a free energy device thats really easy to make so u could make it and then connect it to your box of lights with the joul thief still inside instead of having the AA battory coz it has the same volts as the battory and can make even more power if need be.type it into youtube and it will come up.i really think you could do well on this one.cheers walshy
@Video85Man hey man... i'm going down the same path at the moment.. check out the simple joule thief first.. it is hard to get your head around a lot of this stuff but once you do it's like heroin.... no turning back! or so i've heard..
Joules are a measurement of energy. "Joule Thief" is a misleading name as energy has to **ALL** come from the battery. You obviously have created a self-excited oscilator with a voltage multiplier voltage step-up circuit..
Giving the schematic for your cute circuit would be much more honest than trying to impy "light from nothing"
I know what a Joule is. I did not name the circuit. I think it is called a "Joule Thief" because it steals every last joule from the battery that is powering it. I never tried to imply that the light came from nothing. I cannot believe that you thought i was implying that the "light came from nothing". Why do you think I show the battery and the solar panel? The energy obviously comes from the solar panel. Where did you get the quote "light came from nothing".?
@lasersaber The name "joule thief" discredits your experimentation videos. There are too many OU and FE videos out there on YouTube, unfortunately. YT relies on the viewers to mark the offenders as FRAUD or SPAM.
.
Keep up the good work demonstrating to people. Nicely done. Show more detail.
@Nabo00o Good analogy of a capacitor. I do not find electrical energy complicated but I started being trained when I was six years old by my father and worked in the electrical / electronics /CPU field my whole life. I can flip energy , power, voltage, current, conductance, resistance, capacitance, reluctance and other factors around with hardly a second thought after using them in practice for so many years.
I bet, and its an ability I would like to learn as well. I still need to read them down to remember it.
A capacitor can give you current in an instant, but leverages like time also give you the force/potential: voltage.
I'm doing very basic experiments with impulses and it is fascinating, because playing with this type of energy lead into very interesting fields like wireless power, tesla tech, battery charging etc.
There's a whole lot yet unexplored in my opinion...
@Nabo00o I always had an analogy in my head. A capacitor in parallel was like a compressed air cylinder. Compress it with some pressure (voltage) and it compresses and then the pressure can be released into the circuit downstream. The air going in and out would be the current electrons. I was always taught to think of a garden hose except the garden hose has to go back to the pump and not on the ground.
I agree its a good analogy, I actually use to think of compressed air as well.
But I have heard/read and seen so much, that I have a lot of doubts about the present of view of electricity as electron current and other theories on waves. You know, the so called electrons themselves cannot move a whole lot, it is rather the pressure they exert on each other that is carried through a wire, even when pure DC.
And I don't even want to enter the whole wave/particle area...
@Nabo00o All the electron theory doesn't really matter. We get passed it and use the theories 'cause they have proven to work.
When the atomic scientists look in the mocro scope to view the inside of an atom...what do they see?
.
Nothing...the atom is composed of mostly vaccuum and the parts are too smal and do not give out light photons or other visible things. Nobody has seen inside an atom and the whole thing is one big theory that we hope works...LOL
@JoeFitant - If you know what "Joule Thief" means, then you wouldn't criticize someone for using the term. It does not matter if the term is "accurate" to the depth you interpret it to mean, joule thief is a de facto term.
I checked your profile, and it looks like you are real busy here at YouTube, criticizing everybody. You actually use Search to find people to offend. Congratulations, you are the first person I have ever blocked.
My 3 , 3volt blue led lamp has been on with only a mg and graphite rod for more than 6 months now, distance between rods and orientation was critical but nonetheless exciting, I just wonder if we are taking energy away from plants ,thinking this is blue energy or bioenergy, I cured myself from chemical poisoning from the drycleaning industry powering water with this energy just like victor schauberger talked about.
It takes a real man to apologize the way you have done, in turn I apologize myself , I'm very passionate about this things due to the obstacles I've found myself ,but then again we are contributing one way or another and that's what matters I wish you all a lot of fun in your experimenting and way more exciting findings.
Disappointing video. All that turning and movement showing the outside could've been done much simpler. Just exactly how many times do we need to see the outside, especially the bottom? Condense it down to a few still shots, and get on to the inside and what you want to show, which is what it does. We can't judge a book by its cover.
Despite of" the light" is all you can see?? do you realize that you are at the birth of a new era? mentalities like such are the ones keeping us from reaching the stars!!
Keep up the good work lasersaber, I know like others that this is not easy..God dang people if you don't make it hapen shut the hell up!! and work!!
I'm sorry if I sounded too critical of the project. I think I was showing my frustration at not being able to find out more about what the circuit was, and how to duplicate it. I've built a whole lotta Joule Thiefs and I have yet to get one to put out enough current to brightly light up dozens of LEDs.
That is a great project man! Did you get the box at walmart as well? You could easily add a charging jack to your circuit and recharge your box from your EER outside.
you can get led bulbs that cheap in America? the cheapest ones here are 20-40 usd each, which is a stupidly high price

There's a reason for that...
Electricity is no simple thing, neither is energy.
The joule thief works like the water hammer effect, it compresses energy through time and unleashes it in bang.

@lasersaber Actually no. The energy comes from the battery. The solar panel makes the energy. But despite that, the energy comes from the sun.
