Google links and pics about the joule thief: joule thief <= click me harder! click me quick!
First some parts disassambled from a LED light (this
one i think),
the LED and the magentic clips, nice to contact the
battery.
A ferrit-ring cut from a mainboard and wired with some loops
and a 3904 signal npn transistor from the usual beam parts are quickly
are put together:
And if its right,
there is a light!
Now the question of the questions: which duck will be the lucky one ?
Only one duck will have the luck - only one can be the first one!
Yes, this ducky is the winner: Cute, smart and well prepared!
But now ducky will meet the joule thief.
Ripped off, stuffed and knitted - hmm, sounds like being cooked...
Here the operation:
Stay tough! And relax, we are professionals ;)
Well done! Anything is fine.
New rebirthed: The tough duck, the first one putting a light into the ducky universe! Sure, there is a light!
Great! Now this lucky ducky sucks remaining energy out of old batteries
and spends a light on the duckyverse!
Here it is, the Lucky Ducki:
Well, only one thing to say at last:
Just follow the light - da' duck is always right ;-)
Have fun building your own joule thief!
