In this video I will show you how I created a very popular and easy to build circuit, the joule thief, in order to power LEDs with voltages from 0.5V to 2.5V.

شكرا جزيلا انا مشترك عربي مند 2018 واجمل جزء هو انك ترجمت حلقتك للعربية وحققت حلمي
thank you so match I
am subscribing to your channel since 2018 and I am very happy to translate the content of this video to the Arabic and for your achievement my dream is to understand all the information 🙏🌹🌹

Your handwriting is absolutely phenomenal, just so you know.

This was one of the best explanations of the components in operation and function of a Joule Thief I have seen. Thanks for the great video, really enjoyed the SC twist to the circuit.

[MrMarcosyMrsLaura]

I did not understand a single word you said but I kept watching the video because of your left-hand writing while talking about all the electronics stuff... It made me feel smart..

[astafzciba]

that is the best the coolest oscilloscope i've ever seen in my life

das ist der Schlüssel zum erfolg auf Youtube! aufwendieges Video, gute Produktion und guter Inhalt. mein Lieblingskanal

I found that using water or gases to explain how electric circuits work makes things a lot easier to understand. Basically, the transistor causes flow in one direction through the coil, which then causes the flow to stop due to the magnetic interference of the coils going in opposite directions, which stops the transistor, but all that electricity in between the coil and transistor acts like a small capacitor (quick-discharge battery), and the current from that part of the wire gets added to the current of the battery, to power the LED, then that emptying of the capacitor-like wire causes current from the battery to be able to flow to the transistor again, and the whole thing repeats itself. Electricity also has inertia.

i love how complete this video is, especially walking through the circuit and debugging

“capable of delivering 69 joules”
nice.

This was almost the exact problem I had to solve for my final exam for intro to circuits class at MIT. This video takes me back, lol.

[jackziep]

Still don't know half the stuff you say but it's still interesting

[electrantics]

Your explanations are so easy to understand.

[chanchan]

I dont understand a thing. but it looks cool.

[pokegaiyui]

I'm more at awe with your penmanship.

[camismacho]

Wow you have such nice handwriting! One of my old EE professors used to get super pissed when he couldn't read people's handwriting haha

[RandyLunn]

Well done Great Scott! Clear and precise.

[superdave]

Such GREAT videos GreatScott! So very informative and entertaining.

[Afrojim]

I used to be so lost watching your videos, but now that I took physics 2 I can actually follow along

[warrencurry]

Nice overview of the engineering details required to efficiently power an LED from a Supercap. Looking forward to your other videos.

[bescritt]

I know you don't care what people think, but I've noticed your speech difference is getting better. Rock on, GreatScott!
