The description of this video has links to some playlists I've made for Basic Soldering. I also added some links to help you find items that are similar to what I'm using in this video.
I've always wanted to learn about flux for soldering so I just started watching your videos and learned something. Thank you! I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more. I work w cell phones and am excited to learn more from you.
I've finally been able to make the joule thief by a different schematic where two of the leads from the wound toroid are fused together into one, which then goes to the positive rail. I'm having trouble figuring out how the alternative approach shown here is the same circuit.
Awesome video! Exactly what I needed. Can I use a Toroid Core Common Mode Inductor Choke in the board or is that different than the toroid inductor you make in the beginning of the video? Is a choke the same I guess is my question.
Seems like I could use this properly tuned to fool my RV charger into thinking the battery is floating higher than it is. Or fool a charger into charging LifePO4 when it’s made for Li-ion.
That's a valid question. The point is to show how to build a joule thief. A joule thief is a simple circuit to boost voltage. It's also a good project for someone that's beginning/learning to make electronics.
