Joule Ringer!

Center Tap Transformers : Re : Xee2' Inverter

Being from Canada, it turns out I cannot order from Radio Shack, and I had The Source try the part number; they can't get them in. So I went looking for someone who makes a variety of such transformers.

Turns out Hammond has quite a variety:

Hammond Mfg. - Power Transformer - Economical Single Primary - (166 Series)

They even make this one:
Model 166S2
25 VA
Primary 115V 60 Hz.
Secondary 2.5 C.T.
10 amps

I'm thinking that might make HV for fluorescents? Used in Reverse would that not take 12v up higher than 500?

In Canada, Main Electronics (Vancouver) handles Hammond Transformers.

Cheers

I think 0.5 amp size would be a better choice (smaller).

Thank you Lasersaber for the diode/cap mod to your continuation of the Joule Ringer.

I'm using it here on a multicoil SS SSG
battery charger - solid state energizer - YouTube

still curious what made you think of placing that diode at the base...

Ok. I actually ordered what I thought would be closest to what you used, as my initial goal is to replicate your circuit as closely as possible, so I think I ordered
a 110VAC TO 12 VAC CT 1 AMP

I ran the Davro mod circuit (posted on previous page) at higher voltages. At 3.0 volts current is 280 mA and bulb is much brighter. At 6.0 volts current is 527 mA and bulb is very much bright. Transistor does not get hot (no heat sink) but may heat up if left on for a long time.

When using the Davro mod on Xee2's circuit it definitely gives me a higher output but I do not get the neons to light. I am running off of a battery and was wondering if the neons were a product of the higher amperage of his wall wort. What have I done wrong? The schematic seems pretty straight forward.

@Zardox,

Try a 5 watt bulb.

@SkyWatcher,

Are you gainig a net power increase on your Tesla Switch charging batteries while running a load with the inverter? Can you upload a video of this?

NOTE: It takes about 2000 volts to light xenon tube, therefore circuit should light several LED bulbs in series.

Hi folks, Hi allen, I have not made enough detailed tests to know for sure, though It might have potential, one would have to see for themselves if there is any.
My still cameras video output is not very good.

Xee2 Question

Hey Xee2,

I found the closest thing i could, nearby, a Hammond 166J12.

It says, on it:

GRN-GRN/YEL-GRN: 12.6VCT 1A
BLK-BLK 115V 60 HZ

I don't have an MJE13007, but I do have a MJL21194 which is rated
VCEO 250V
VCBO 400V
VCEX@1.5V 400V

Do you think I'm close enough to take a shot at it?
Thanks
Kyle

Also... The original Joule Ringer project by lasersaber....
His transformer...

I don't understand his drawing... is it a bifilar primary? Like a joule thief?
I'm pretty new to electrical diagrams... so please go easy on me here...
I'm trying to understand this stuff better...

Is this how it'd be drawn? I love the guys work, but I find his pictures/images tough to decipher
what is going on, and direction of winds?... Thanks

@ kcarring

Transformer should work. I am not familiar with transistor. Schematic looks correct.

I tried to step up the power for Joule Thief circuits and found out that it can't deliver high current through transformer. It gives out high voltage so forcing you to use really high load impedance (LEDs). Such load as regular light bulb just doesn't light up. I think the problem is the switching. JT can't switch clean and abrupt enough to allow sudden high current. Now I think I know why Tesla used spark gap for primary tank circuit. The French flip flop really interest me. At first I can't figure out how it oscillate since the circuit is exactly the same on each side, but I found an explanation.

I think powerful inverter has great potential for OU as well as high power application for its switching capability.

Spot on

play with the cap value and use different pot value depending on transformer winds, gauge, and load.
rod core, air core, ferrite core, E-core, magnet core
much to learn with this one. such simplicity helps to narrow down cause and effect in a way that has made it easier to learn - even for me

Thanks Minoly & Xee2.

I am always very curious about everything... cause in the end, I really want to learn a lot... it's a huge goal, way beyond free energy. I am an absolute huge skeptic when it comes to free energy -but- I am not a naysayer!!! Naysaying is just rude, that's like going to Greece to talk down the Greek.

I wonder...

Personally, I can't see the difference, between a joule ringer, and a joule thief... is it the addition of the secondary?

As well... I am trying to compare the usage of a toroid joule thief / ringer - vs. - the usage of a standard transformer (as in Xee2) -- and I see, mainly, that one has a center-tap in a single wind (as the primary) -- and the other (JT JR) has bifilar, and that's interesting...

The two circuits are very close to one another...

Has anybody ever tried doing an E-Core, with a bifilar primary? Say maybe something with high AL, ferroxcube?

I have a large very rigid foam core, perhaps 14" in outer diameter, and the tube diameter 1.75" that I could try air core... but ... what is our goal here, large amounts of core saturation, or not? Are we trying to run with high impedance, or no?

I'd love to hear some theories, I guess... of what the matglas is doing in Lasersaber's unit. It's obviously not that high of a frequency, but what keys to the system are crucial?

Thanks

@ kcarring

To see what Joule-ringer is go to start of thread (uses E-core). The circuits I have been posting as Joule thiefs have been posted with that name for many years and I think it is confusing to add another name for them (they are technically blocking oscillators).
