Joule Thief

I have a 2N3704 transistor (rather than a 2N3904) so the Base, Collector, and Emitter of this NPN are in different locations...

I also have a regular 2xAA battery holder which somebody has hacked and is slightly melted on one side! I will use this as a single AA battery holder. So my toroid centre tap goes to battery +ve.

Project first build complete (with on/off switch) - upload pictures to the various feeds. Plan a build.

Stairway lighting

Sign: -

Don't get left in the dark!

The stair lighting automatically switches off after a while so...

Press the button before you go up or down the stairs (so you don't get stuck half-way!)

DONE IS THE ENGINE OF MORE

Dominic's catch phrase!

  • but DONE is not well defined!
    • I prefer DONE RIGHT!
      • but DONE RIGHT is not well defined!
  • but MORE is not well defined!
    • MORE stuff to do? MORE problems?
  • I don't think this works or me!
    • but WORKS is not well defined!
