Jule Thief
Can anyone of you electronics guys answer a question for me concerning the Joule Thief? OK my question is this:
The plans I have call for a 1k resistor. From everything I have learned in electronics thus far, resistors limit the flow and dissipate overage as heat. This seems wasteful to me since the idea of this device is to improve efficiency, as in use all or most of the available energy in a battery or similar system. I am wondering why the resistor is needed? If it gets "warm" at all it is wasting power correct? Is this required to protect the transistor?
I would really appreciate any input here as this is my first Joule Thief. I know they have been around a while and I have a pretty good idea on how they work, at least in relation to the lighting of LEDs. I am also going to experiment with these using supercaps as the power source both with, and without batteries. This will all be tied into my work with earth batteries from which I can already light an LED.
If I need th...
