240 volt joule-thief

Lite a 240 volt cfl from a toroid and 12 volt 800 ma.
Cfl is about at 75% brightness.

Thanks - I have done Laser`s Joule, It works great !

Hi, OD = 3.5cm ID = 1.8cm and it is 1cm high.

Between 100 and 200 bifilar turns - this one is just over 100, 0.3mm wire.

I try smaller torries and they also work - begin with high resistance on base like 2k and work down until the bulb lights.

Keep well.

No blackmesa25 I have not, maybe u can hook it up to a bridge rectifier and run something on dc as well - I am solid into something else now - show u in 3 months.

I think I may have the answer, just maybe but it looks very good.

Kind regards

Ben

Great video!

One thing, I don't think digital multimeters can read these impulses very well.

From what I'm seeing here, you almost had one amp!!! Meaning almost 240 watts, into that small bulb ;D

I bought a cheap analog multimeter for exactly that reason. Also, true rms meters should be good too, but they are really expensive.

Thank you for sharing : )

@Nabo00o Thanks for the kind words. My analog meter only measure to 250ma and as you say, rms meter is not yet in my budget. Keep well.

Thanks for the kind remarks, Bill.

Nice vid, there is no power savings though. This is a 15w lamp?

lit to ~75%. So ~11.25w? 12v battery. actual voltage ~13.5v? 800ma.

So 13.5x .8A=10.8w consumption. 10.8w/15w=72%brightness.

Have a look at Lasersaber's "Super Joule Ringer"

Hi i'd like to know the toroid's dimension and how many turns it did . tnx see u soon

[arsacd]

can i turn on a TV with this energy? how long will the tv will last turned on?

I have a 12 voltz battery, 1A... If i bult one Joulet thief, can i turn on my notebook?

Thanks

Have you Circuit diagram and Resistor info thanx for sharing.

Sir,requesting for any circuit diagram and component specifications for better understanding...

[Nabo00o]

Uhm yeah I'll quote the first guy: "This is really brilliant". Exactly what I'm thinking too!
