Slayer Exciter --New charging circuit replication.ASF

This a replication of Slayer's newest exciter circuit that will charge a second battery while it is running. Go to his Youtube channel (GBluer) for all the information on this interesting circuit. A discussion of it is at the Energetic forum under the Joule Thief Exciter thread.

Lidmotor, Glad to see you and Gbluer are pusuing further experiments with the exciters. There seems to be energy oozing out all over the place! You can light things up, charge them up, it is all quite grand. Thanks and aloha

@jackscholze -----Aloha Jack. The weather should be nice over there right now. Of course it is always nice over there---usually. I do remember the Kona weather in winter with all the rain. One of these days I'll get back there.

I am still watching. Thanks, Slinky

@slinky460 -----Keep watching --there is more to come. All these projects are interrelated. The more I learn in one area helps me advance in another.

@jiffycoil -----Thanks. That looks like a ready made Joule Thief!!! Good news! I'll see if I can track one down and build up one of those circuits. It means that we can run leds on a an almost dead AA ---just like a Joule Thief.

@Lidmotor

It is the the one I posted at the top of page 34 at EF. It uses the Maxim MAX756 CMOS step-up DC-DC switching regulator. The interesting thing about that chip is it accepts a positive input voltage down to 0.7V and converts it to a higher pin selectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The low voltage conversion is what interests me.

@Lidmotor It's always better to study parts instead of studying nothing at all right? :) I think it's all worth the time that someone could put into it.

@jiffycoil ----- I'm VERY interested in your high efficiency step - up converter. I hope that you post a circuit diagram over at the forum. Thanks for the compliment.

[Lidmotor]

@egn83b ----- Yes. That is the whole idea here. Cycle the batteries to increase the run time.

[Lidmotor]

@GBluer ------ Thanks. I'm glad that we are helping each other discover things and then building off each other's work. It changes the learning curve and speeds things up.
