How do your joule ringer videos not have more views?? Your videos caused and encouraged myself to go down an amazing scientific rabbit hole. Thank you for your contributions.
Lasersaber, I find your presentations truly awe-inspiring,self-less and extremely informative.On behalf of your many fans, I would like to congratulate you for winning the what I term, the Noble Prize,Oscar and Grammy Awards of truly informative and selfless sharing of information to the masses via this medium and others.TOTALLY AWESOME you are.Keep doing what you are doing.Your work is appreciated immensely.
This is an excellent overview of your coil. What a simple process. Most thought it would be more complicated. Using an O-scope is revealing as well. Thanks again for your kind sharing.
when the transistor opens and closes very fast, it pulses the DC input so you get an equivalent ac output. The opening and closing of the transistor is driven by the magnetic saturation of The coil and its iron core. Those devices can pulsate at megahertz. You can get DC and AC readings at the output. (anode and cathode of the transistor).
My findings: Add a tap resister at the base and connect to positive with a momentary switch or your can tap the positive from the resister. Also: you can add a small single coil by it's self at the beginning of the positive wire to the primary coil and it will increase brightness output without messing with the transformer windings. I have been using a 20uh coil and it helps big time the ones I got out of a monitor or you can use a small ferrite bead and wind 20 turns of 14.
I have had some high voltage trouble with my joule thief. I then converted it with an lm 358 op amp to run a 12v led. Before my pnp transistors were over heating with the op amp and I felt some high voltage tingling on my fingers.
Hi, Today I have successfully replicated your SJR 3.0 with 1 3/8in=3.5cm OD yellow toroid, 2n3055 TR & 200+ winding 26G secondary & for 23G primary, started with 72 winds & then unwind it in many steps & ended up at 15 turns with the best brightness of one 30w CFL). I am a hobbyist. I live in Greece & here we have 230v AC, I mean the lamps are rated 230v, as such the winding ratio must be differing with respect to yours. Anyway all credits go to lasersaber. cheers. You think I can add more cfl in parallel, Please reply me if you have easy time. Thanks.
after fiddling with this circuit a 100x i finally realized why i think it doesn't work.. I'm based in UK so need a 110v bulb! Da! How many winds for 220v bulbs? Would the wire thinkness be the same?
Now i have got it to work by increasing the amps, going up to 13v and removing some winds on the thick coil. it only restarts if i disconnect both poles and reconnect... leaving the neg on all the time stops it restarting.I noted my coil was 20mm not 24mm thick like your spec. Thanks lasersaber, I am very happy with this:)
think i had difficult time getting it to go because i was using a cfl and 11 watts at that.. but it lights up great, i would guess its doing what a 8 watts mains cfl would do. Uses a lot of amps.. currently its running of 12v bat (8 D size 1.5v)
Hi, I saw Lynx put one diode from E to B of transistor. You can try this setting. D-bat is rated 4733mAh/Alkaline one 17000mAh which is probably not enough to start/run a cfl driver like this one.
can any one help me.. I have the above circuit and have a 9v bat, when i connect it the bulb flashes once and stops, then after a min i reconnect it flashes again.. any ideas about what is going on?
reduce the 9 volt to six volts,you can try 3 or 4 a a batteries to or 6 aa batts ,i think you are giving the bulb to much current or you have a dead battery
If all else fails then just use a Radio Shack 12v transformer (backwards). It really doesn't matter if it isn't super efficient if you can't get your project to work at all-- OR it sceams so loud that it makes the neighbor's dog bark. Lasersaber's projects are great ---just adjust them to your personal needs.
You're driving a LED bulb there. There's an easier way. Just replace the high voltage dropping resistor inside the LED bulb with one that drops the voltage just enough for whatever lower voltage you're using. Common modern LEDs run at 3.4 to 3.8 volts (older styles run on 2.2-2.8 volts).
Sorry to bother you im having issues. I have a transformer that has 2 wires for 240v on primary to 5 a wire secondary with 30v or 15v center tapped or 7v. I followed your guide using a 2n3055 and used the 15v center tap and 240v windings with 9v battery but nothing happens. The impedance says 255ohms primary and 17ohms secondary or 9ohm center tapped and final at 3 ohms. Spent a good few hours and really scratching my head. All connections fine, transistor is fine, battery fine. Transformer? thx
I've been working on this project for the past 7 years and I watched all of the videos of people build this and it's working just fine for every one else but it's Not working for me.i tried switching the whyer around and I tried everything Nothing still don't work unless there magical voodoo trick because mine doesn't work 😤😠😠😠😬
A toroid is an easy thing to make Just find a transformer from any micro wave or in a 1980's radio 110 A/c to 12 volt wall wort A metal pipe or bar 12 or 8 inch's copper wire of two sizes Oh yes you would have to use two NPN in order to be able to be used but it would have to be a flip flop arrangement but the heat would be a factor ib the design or just find an old junk TV some where.for a PNP transistor it a PNP type used here

Hi lasersaber! I wanted to know if you were living off the grid, and if you do, for how long have you been living off grid? aaaannnnnddd I guess You are using car batteries for your energy?
I've had an idea of using 2 frequencies and wanted to know what you think. youtube. com /watch?v=toONSbykEvw Short video explaining my idea. Thanks for everything!
You do real well with one hand but it;s so frustratig watching you struggle with stuff clumsily cos holding a camera. Please consider a hatmount or something. The 808 #16 give great hd for less than £20. Please don't take offense, I dig the crap out of your work and vids

Thanks LS, Definitely useful and practical as always! Thx for taking the time to do the video and sharing your accumulated knowledge.
When I hear the music build in I feel disappointed because I know the information your pass on is coming to an end. Thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧

Can you upload this schematic to your website. This one helps out the most since it tells us which one is the primary and secondary
My findings: Add a tap resister at the base and connect to positive with a momentary switch or your can tap the positive from the resister.

Is it possible to light a 4 foot flourescent light bulb with the SJR?
Nice video, thanks for posting, I have an over powering urge to send you a tri-pod and you have to ask the chickens to respect your studio time.
I have had some high voltage trouble with my joule thief. I then converted it with an lm 358 op amp to run a 12v led. Before my pnp transistors were over heating with the op amp and I felt some high voltage tingling on my fingers.
How many turns on the secondary of the tube core?
Very helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Can you use a TIP3055 NPN transistor instead of the 2N3055? I have the circuit built but is not working at all..

You think I can add more cfl in parallel, Please reply me if you have easy time. Thanks.
how can I remove the high frequency sound when the circuit is connected to the power supply???? It is a bit annoying...
What your talking about could it be similar to a Tesla coil on a toroid when you talk about tuning to your load.
Where can I pick up some of the Toroids and or Ferrite bars for not allot of money? Everything I've seen is rather costly when you get up in size!
did you try reversing the winding connection on one side or the other?
after fiddling with this circuit a 100x i finally realized why i think it doesn't work.. I'm based in UK so need a 110v bulb! Da! How many winds for 220v bulbs? Would the wire thinkness be the same?
the bulb only start when i touch the transistor and the positive at the same time ...??
Can you connect other stuff to output, like a tv (about 100w)? Will it work?
Now i have got it to work by increasing the amps, going up to 13v and removing some winds on the thick coil. it only restarts if i disconnect both poles and reconnect... leaving the neg on all the time stops it restarting.I noted my coil was 20mm not 24mm thick like your spec.

Dude, I see a plastic hollow pvc pipe. Can I use that in place of a ferrite rod ?
what is that annoying high pitch sound. Does it need to function with this high pitch or is that also "tuned" out?
Have you ever wrapped a ringer on ferrite ring magnet ?
Podrías mostrar cómo construir esa bobina?
Does the bulb ever get hot?
can any one help me.. I have the above circuit and have a 9v bat, when i connect it the bulb flashes once and stops, then after a min i reconnect it flashes again.. any ideas about what is going on?

How does the DC turn to AC????
voce poderia me fornecer o esquema deste seu projeto pra u montar um aqui no Brasil,desde ja obrigado por sua atenção.

Hi Also watch TH-cam videos of guyz in the UK, they also use 220v maybe, use their specs and number of coil turns....hope it helps
This is pretty cool. On a lighter note, 1:49 did I hear a chicken?
So tht red thing makes free electricity
I've been working on this project for the past 7 years and I watched all of the videos of people build this and it's working just fine for every one else but it's
Not working for me.i tried switching the whyer around and I tried everything
Nothing still don't work unless there magical voodoo trick because mine doesn't work 😤😠😠😠😬
Thanks for sharing
So what's the benefit of this whole thing? Is it saving energy? Is it just for fun to mess with wires? What's the point of this?
so many wires and connections could it more simple please ?
And for the current you need a good diode ... Its. Not a problème.at the hight potential you have 'no losse with anti lenz device ,(sacreed geometrie
I experimented with this, there's no efficiency gain than hook up the bulb directly to the supply. No free lunch here.
Ohhhh tnaks so much =D you are very smart, i only play a little
its not the bulb, its the coil ...isnt it ?

daniel ash thanks for the advice, but after the word radio, this started to not make much sense for the technically inclined
Carbon rods and condenser baby Need a potty too.
joules from the battery are compressed so the lamp works, no free energy
When did he mention free energy?
how do you compress a joule?
+kandysman86 Well you can compress a joule by squeezing it together with your hands.
Wile E. Coyote is in the chicken house!
thanks
His chickens are complaining about the working conditions. Now we know how to get free energy.😎
ok, thanks!!!
...Tony Stark wants to hang out wit you...
