    I Relativistic doppler shift and radar

    Consider at stationnary radar at the origin ##z=0## and a target (speed ##v##) moving along the ##z## axis and away from the radar. The radar is sending plane waves (frequency ##f_i##) to the target and they come back to the radar (the radar is then both an emitter and a receiver). I am...

    Joule thief : number of turns around the ferrite core

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Joule_thief.png Ok so today they talked about what we had to do to figure out the solution (more or less). They want us to mathematically solve it and then check the results experimentaly. So they said that they want us to figure out a relation...

    Joule thief : number of turns around the ferrite core

    Sounds right! But then how do you determine the minimum number of turns around the coil for the LED to light up :/ ?

    Joule thief : number of turns around the ferrite core

    I got it from wikipedia (the circuit of the school is exactly the same), I think you get more info on how the circuit works there : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief . By what is the overall goal of the school project, do you mean what is the purpose of the circuit? If so, the circuit...

    Joule thief : number of turns around the ferrite core

    Hi everyone, I have to build a simple Joule thief circuit for school. Here it is :(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Joule_thief.png). The resistance of the resistor is fixed to 1 kOhms, the voltage across the "dead battery" is about 1.5V, the transistor needs about 0.7V to...
