2015-12-25 Joule Thief In Mainstream Media

Merry Christmas!  Happy Holidays, too.

I found this article, to my surprise, in a summer issue of Pop Sci magazine.  I was surprised because when it came to mainstream media, I thought that the Joule Thief was a best kept secret; hardly anyone other than ‘techies’ knew about it.  But here’s proof otherwise.

I think that they should have used an AA cell, which is much more common. But at least it’s being published in a magazine with a reasonably large audience.

The article says the project is at http://www.popsci.com/joulethief but I haven’t seen it yet.

  1. I had no idea what a “joule thief” was until I came across your website. Thanks!
