Joule Thief Fuji Twin Bulb Light.wmv

This is a simple adaptation of the modified Fuji JT circuit and 2 Lights of America led bulbs. Each bulb has 27 chip leds and this is being run on an AA battery.
For more info, go to overunitydotcom. Thanks to JosePino for the use of his circuit diagrams and photos...also thanks to Jesus from OUdotcom for the group photo. Note: Cut the anode end of the diode by the transistor to get the full wave. This is not on Jose's schematic.

could you add a solar pannel if you wanted to? and how would you do that?

[Pirate88179]

@theonelinerkid

Yes. Lasersaber did just that a while back. Check his videos here on youtube.

Can you please make a video on "how-to" harness the Fuji circuit from the disposable cameras? I'm unsure on exactly what parts to use and what not to use.

Are there any precautions to take when doing so?

@jmjpowerjoule

There is a great how to video on modifying the Fuji on here somewhere. I can't recall who did it but he did a great job. A search will find it. Yes, be very careful of that capacitor and discharge it safely using an insulated tool. Even if you never turned on the camera, it can still have a charge in it.

hahaha that part about the schematic had me cracking up! That's some pretty cool stuff! Unfortunate that it takes 4 times the amount of light to produce twice the amount of noticeable light though. Out of curiosity, do you have a website?

[Pirate88179]

@Krb68691

Yes, schematic did NOT show up as I had hoped. My website is for my business which is not related to the JT. All info is over at overunitydotcom in the many joule thief topic areas. Great ideas over there.

That is very cool stuff. I want to make stuff like that for my wife.

I found that Walgreens Pharmacy stores will give you the used disposable cameras; however many that you want. -Just go over to their photo lab and ask for them. I prefer the Fuji Brand.

Have you done the longevity test comparison between these three bulbs? If so, what were the results?

Keep up the excellent work.

@jmjpowerjoule I'm also hoping Pirate has time for a large close up of the schematics as I couldn't read them on screen. Lots of our Solar CITIES colleagues in Africa and the Mid East and in Nepal are eager to start applying his genius solution, particularly because it makes use of "throw away" "dead" batteries. Great for sustainable development in the "third world."

"Tupperware Torchlight for two in a tent" -- I love it! Your innovations will bless the less fortunate in developing countries where using a single AA battery for reliable bright light can mean the difference between life and death. Thank you!

[jmjpowerjoule]

As for posting your schematics; could you please post a large close-up of each schematic one at a time, so that I could see them better?

Thanks.

@Pirate88179 No I just meant that to the human eye it takes 4 times as much light in order for it to be twice as noticeably bright. The human eye works on a power scale, I wasn't referring to the webcam. As far as your website, I was just asking if you had one =D
