section with the power lead-in for the dead 9V
battery. Take the power to the LED there and
feed it in between the two LEDs as shown.
In the oscilloscope trace in Screenshots 1
and
2, we can see that the voltage for the two
LED joule thief circuit goes up to almost 6.5V
with a battery at 1.1V. It goes to 5.84V when the
battery gets down to 0.6V.
So, there you have it. Some fun simple
circuits to light up your life. NV
