All,
I just uploaded a another copy of the JT, because I wnat to use it as a techng aid to introduce a family member to some EE concepts and LTspice. He just graduated high school and has no exposure but a lot of interest in electronics.
So having read the recent thread on the JT, I though it might be an excellent resource for him as it exposes transistor and switching theory and a lot of concepts in an easy to understand project that he can build and use my lab tools to verify the expected behavior.
In my posted version, derived from , I tried to added a second circuit to compare the effects of using a different transistor than the B549 in the reference article and I attempted to estimate the Joules being consumed (atfter all it is a Joule Thief.
If anyone cares to comment on how I might do this better (for the intended purpose), please do so.
Thanks,
Tim
