Pirate's Lidmotor Jeanna Light Joule Thief Replication.wmv

This is my replication of Lidmotor's Jeanna Light using Jeanna's large toroid Joule thief design and Lidmotor's circuit. This circuit puts out between 1,200-2,000 volts! I do not have an exact measurement yet. (I am afraid of frying my measuring equipment!) This uses two 3-3/8"OD ferrite toroids, TIP 3055 transistor, 20 ohm rheostat, 15 turn variable 1k resistor, and 28 ga. magnet wire for the secondary and pick-up coils. I used solid copper 22 ga. wire for the primary. The cfl is a 40 watt equivalent rated at 9 watts. In the video, I am running from a 1.4 volt C cell but, I have run this on an AAA and an AA and a D cell as well using my magnetic universal battery holder idea. For more information, go to overunity.com in the joule thief topics area. This is a lot of light and it lasts a long time and you can use dead batteries that others would have tossed out to power this. More to come using this circuit. Please use caution if replicating this, or any other high voltage output circuit. If you don't know what you are doing, get someone who does to help you or don't do it. (Legal Disclaimer)

Thank you for watching.

Hi Pirate! I am inspired by your ending comment "everyone should try to make one of these because I think they're great" and am trying to figure out how so that I can take the know-how with me to Africa and the Middle East where I work with the urban and rural poor to achieve our Millenium Development goals. If we can get everyone in the "third world" to make one of these we can alleviate a lot of suffering. Problem now is finding the ferrite cores. Any further ideas? Can we use square cores?

@tculhane

Thanks. This video is old, check out my latest vids using a modified Fuji JT and edison based LED bulbs. Much more light and easier to build using more readily available components.

can you make tutorial step by step for begginers PLEASE?

[Pirate88179]

@ekremgusani

As it says in the video description, everything you need to build this is over at Overunitydotcom. Use a "." instead of "dot". Also, check out Lidmotor's videos on this circuit.

where do you get those big toroids?

[Pirate88179]

@ibpointless2

Good question. They used to be available surplus from like All Electronics or Electronic Goldmine (I forget which) but when they sold out, we have had a tough time finding them. Jeanna has reproduced her circuit using a smaller, easier to find toroid from electronics goldmine and it works very well. I was only able to obtain 4 of these.  A few places still sell them if you use Google but they want like $50 US each! These used to cost about $2 US surplus.

@Pirate88179 Thanks! I have been watching your FUJI camera vids and when I get to the US this week I will buy several disposable cameras and follow what you have shown. The next trick will be replicating the FUJi circuit with scavenged parts in places where they don't have these disposable cameras. If you have any ideas of how to do that we would be much obliged!

@ 1:04 , no , when you open it everyone will go BOMB !!!! AHHH! BOMB !!!

Thanks.
