  • lol 1:13 "Run Toroid, Run!"

  • That was planed, lol thats why I left the wire there...

    ;-)

  • cool

  • Cheers..

  • YES!!!!! SUCCESS!!!! i found a washer sized ferrite bead, and a bunch of different battery sizes. i used about 30 turns to get around the entire washer thing, (i dunno why it was in a broken stario they used it to stop the power wire from being pulled out kinda a waste)

    anyway i hooked it upto a voltmeter and it is reading 2v on a 1.5v battery (almost dead and i couldnt get a led to light with a full 1.5) and it goes off the 600v scale for my 6v battery!!!!

  • Glad you got it sorted.

    I think it was in the radio to filter out the mains hum.

see all

  • what can i make a toroid/coil out of?....i have the rest of bits but not that...

  • Can't we replace Toroid/Ferriet bead, with something else, why these things are so important for making a Joule Thief ?

  • mine doesnt if i use 1k ohms,,but if i use lower value resistor it light,,,anyone knows why???

  • mine just doesnt wanna work , can it be because of the material of the toroid ? I did it as supposed too , checked on dozens of schematics and it's correct

  • I thought the idea was to use dead batteries as low as .35 volts.

  • what the heck does this accomplish?

  • if i wanted to you lets say a 9v what do i need to change? please respond

  • is it possible to use any transistor to make joule thief? and is 22 turns of wire around the coil enough?
