@Darkwizard,Thanks for the kind comment. It's early days for me on this yet and i can see ways off improoving it which i am in the process off implimenting.
@sucahyo.I thought it was quite interesting too.I tried the same pulse motor on the same battery without the circuit and it hardly rotated at all and regarding the size off the cap,it is big but you can use a lot smaller.I had it running on a 4700uf 35v cap at first and it will probably run on a lot smaller but in this case ,bigger seems better.
p.s I would not give up on your circuit,it looks quite interesting to me.

Thanks Sephiroth.I will look at the links you posted and see if i can glean some idea's.I think the joule thief circuit has plenty off developments yet to be discovered.I am still trying to get over the rpm's im getting out off a battery my camera refuses to work on so im going to dig a bit deeper on this and see where it leads.Thanks again.

Hi,I don't know if there has been much interest in the joule thief circuit on this forum but there is a big thread on overunity forum which iv'e been following and i wondered if you could combine this circuit with a pulse motor.Well the answer is yes and you can light leds at the same time too(25 in vid).
Here are some pictures,circuit and video i would like to share.

plasma globes charge caps with 1 wire

Hi a while back i posted a way off charging caps to well over 400v using a plasma globe covered with tin foil. You have 1 wire touching the tin foil going into a bridge rectifier so you are using both connections on the cap but the interesting thing about this method was if you connected the negative off the cap to earth ground the charging went through the roof and where it would peak i dont know as my cap was rated for 400v and it flew up to 440v so i pulled the plug.Here's a link to that thread.
