  • Dude give the guy a break. Nobody is as smart as you are anyway, so chill the fuck out already.

  • "Instead of trying to help people, "

    I am helping people, idiot. Educating people is helping people. The issue is, why are you actively hurting people?

    The multimeter won't measure the voltage correctly because it is a pulse and the meter only gives the average voltage.

    This video is so dark that we can't see the circuit. It has a dark background that makes it even worse.

  • if u have a multimeter can u tell me the voltage of ur battery and the voltage you get at the leads of the LED

    thanks : )

  • Add some diodes to the coils in order to capture the back emf and utilize that energy to power another circuit or to charge batteries. Lidmotor gets 9 hours run time like this, swapping batteries every 24 hours

  • Desertpile is an idiot. Just ignore him and keep working in this field. My peace with you!

  • DESERT PEDOPHILE is an IDIOT, Spouting the same horsehit that he has heard from others, not a single ounce of common sense! Go peddle your flat earth bullshit somewhere else and let us be!!!

  • It isn't just that desertphile is smarter than the average: it's just that he takes the time to help these 'free energy' morons out.

  • So, insulting me is trying to make me learn something? Yeah, makes perfect sense...

    You will find that people are usually more receptive to teaching and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism when it is done in a polite manner. So, if you would like to discuss Joule Thieves in a constructive and polite manner, then please do. Otherwise, please stop spreading your negativity on this video's page. It does not help anyone and only serves to hinder our search for a better way to power humanity.

  • The energy from the Sun is free to take. I didn't say the methods we currently have of taking it are free.

    Stubblefield used Earth batteries to power things in his home. Telegraphs that ran on Earth batteries ran for years sending long transmissions. So, I would say, if made correctly, they last as long as you need them to.
