Joule Thief, Dead Battery, And A Magnet

in #howto8 years ago

Here I have a single dead button battery running a blue LED for over a week.
Basic joule thief circuit, but using the magnet underneath the toroid I could make
it stay lit after the basic circuit stopped.
Also, by changing the position of the magnet I was able to
switch the light on and off, blinking, or adjust the intensity of the light.
