Simple Joule Thief Circuit. A joule thief takes a low dc voltage and boosts it up to a higher voltage. You can even take a battery that other devices will consider to be drained and get a bit more of the energy out of it.
That s why it s referred to as a joule thief. It can use nearly all of the energy in a single cell electric battery even far below the voltage where other circuits consider the battery fully discharged. You can even take a battery that other devices will consider to be drained and get a bit more of the energy out of it.
This joule thief circuit using a battery that won t work in any other device can power a blue or white led for approximately 8 days straight before it stops working.
Battery rated at or discharged to 5 1 5v. You can even take a battery that other devices will consider to be drained and get a bit more of the energy out of it. It can use nearly all of the energy in a single cell electric battery even far below the voltage where other circuits consider the battery fully discharged. Hence the name which suggests the notion that the circuit is stealing energy or joules from.
