  • High power joule thief

    Hi all,

    Is there a way to power big loads with a joule thief? For example a HHO cell.
    Is there a possibility to put multiple MOSFET to handle more power?

    I'm currently building a toroid to power my hho cell. See pic. It a tedious process, I superglue all the windings.
    The red windings will cover the whole circumference when finished.
    It is perpendicular wound, wood core toroid, with an elliptical section.
    The red wire is copper clad aluminum. The black wire is copper clad steel.
    The idea of the steel wire was to be have more inductance at a lower freq.
    I took the inspiration of perpendicular wound toroid in german site that decribe the basic principle behind Daniel Dingle water car. I was thinking of simplifying the drive circuit by using a joule thief type setup instead of the occillaotr + Hv coil as described in the document.

    Please tell me what you think.

    Can you post link to Daniel Dingel document ?

        Perpendicular windings toroid

        Here's a pic of the finished coil.

        I'll have to modify the circuit somewhat because I can't put a connection to the bottom of the primary of the ignition coil with the one I have.
        It's all sealed up in epoxy so I can't see how to modify it.
        It's a big one, supposed to go up to 80kv. ( see pic )

        I tought of grounding (somehow) the leg that goes back into the bottom of the primary of the IC (the green leg in previous post)
