8X Overunity from Joule Thief – Proven Design

Last Updated on June 21, 2020 by Swagatam 50 Comments

In this post we learn about a unique 8x overunity circuit quite resembling a joule thief design which was created by one of the noted researcher Professor Steven E. Jones while experimenting with a simple overunity concept.

8x more Output from a Simple Joule Thief Circuit

While developing this overunity circuit he was amazed to see an 8 fold or 8x improvement in the power output, which simply indicated an 8 times more output being produced by his circuit, compared to the input supply power.

caution electricity can be dangerous

The results were distinctly evident on the oscilloscope screen which he used to verify the test results.

Mr. Steven E. Jones is an American physicist who particularly became popular for his intense research on muon-catalyzed fusion

While trying to develop a simple overunity theory he could discover this unique 8x overunity effect in his special joule thief circuit, using the advanced Tektronix oscilloscope, which made his finding look even more credible.

When asked from where the 8x free energy was coming from, professor said "I don't know where the energy is coming from, but it's coming from somewhere," and he himself seemed interested in solving it through other researchers.

During the course of the experiment, to be precisely sure about the working ability of the circuit, he kept it running overnight for 9 hours. In his prototype an LED was used as the load and a AAA cell, as the power supply.

The results were undoubtedly confirmed when he found that even after nine hours of continuous operation, the LED continued to remain illuminated brightly, yet the charge in the cell had hardly depleted. Without his circuit the cell would have easily gotten empty and the LED extinguished long before.

Although we are discussing just a fraction of milliwatts here, it's a good start and enough to prove the a substantial 8x overunity.

 Circuit Diagram

8X Overunity from Joule Thief

The circuit designed by Steve can be seen in the above figure, which is a modified variant of a joule thief circuit based on "blocking oscillator" principle.

In this mode, an LC network can be seen operating with the base of the BJT which you usually won't find in regular blocking oscillator designs. Professor Steven names this stage as the "boost resonator" since this stage resonates at a particular frequency and also becomes responsible for boosting the output and generating the overunity effect.

According to Mr. Steve, he could also develop a method of fine-tuning the efficiency of the circuit to a level where the input consumption virtually reaches to almost nothing.

He further revealed that the crucial element of the circuit was the inductor in the form of a torroid, specially devised by him. Although the construction of this torroidal inductor is easy, and could be hand wound, it lets you witness some amazing results.

In his design the following parts were used

Rb = 2k, 1/4 watt
Ro = 9.8k,
Rr = 3.1k,
T1 = MPS2222
Cb = 151pF,
D = LED red,
Power supply: 2V DC from a couple of rechargeable  AA cells.
Both CSR = 1 ohm 1/4 watt (current sensing resistors)

Making the Inductor Coil

8X Overunity from Joule Thief  Inductor Details

The inductor was constructed with the following details:

L-B, L-O = 9 turns using bifilar winding
Core = Torroid 1"OD, 1/2"ID, 7/16" tall
Inductance value: approximately 90uH each

Practical Test Results

Here's the original voice transcript of professor Steven, illustrating the test results on his state-of-the-art tektronix oscilloscope.

"Basically, the power is coming from two AA rechargeable cells and little 1 ohms resistors in series with the battery, so I measure the input voltage and the input current, the voltage drop across the 1 ohm resistor and that gives me the input power, multiplying the input voltage times the input current, I get the instantaneous power that’s actually the green trace here, the yellow trace being the input voltage, the blue is the current, and the green is the output. The frequency is around 2.8MHz......"

Proof of 8X Overunity

The above outstanding research by Dr. Steven, finally proves that overunity is actually possible through some means even if it remains mysteriously untraceable.

    Do you know where I can get a full set of blueprints for this? I have two children under 6 and I am a single mom that wants to be prepared for anything. Is this something that a “laywoman” could build? I have heard that it can be very simple but I would need a full tools & material list and a full set of instructions. I would be looking to power my house in the event of an EMP or other such attack. Thanks so much for your post.

      Thank you for you interesting question. I don’t think the above circuit can be built and tested by a laywoman since it needs a great deal of expertise in the field of electronics.

          Sorry, this circuit is not available ready made. Possibly, you can hire an online engineer to build one for you and then you can purchase it from him.

    The parts shown on the schematic do not match the parts list. Please clarify, Swagatam, and thank you for your work.
    resistors on schematic; 0.01 ohm, 1 ohm, 3.1k, 9.8k and 51k, caps; 20pf and 151pf. I believe, from reading the text, that the 0.01 ohm should be 1 ohm.
    resistors on parts list; 2k, 9.8k, 3.1k, caps; 151pf.

      Thank you Richard,
      Actually the above article was acquired from an external source a long time ago, so I do not remember why there’s a difference between the parts list and the diagram. I would suggest you first try the parts which is shown in the diagram, and keep experimenting until the most efficient outcome is achieved.

    Here’s just a further thought about joule thieves, in relation to Tesla’s patent on the bifilar coil, aka pancake:

    Running a bifilar in parallel has no special effect on the capacitance. But in series it has a high capacitance: half of the entire voltage drop is capacitive charge separation. Now if you pulse it parallel and then let it collapse serially, there is suddenly a capacitive charge present that cannot origin from the pulse. This makes the bifilar coil a variable capacitor, no moving parts and controlled electronically.

    Furthermore, if the pulse is anti-parallel, then there is no impedance, so the coils are loaded almost immediately. (An additional monofilar coil before ground can further throw energy back into the circuit, rather than to just dump it to ground).

    So the pulse (maybe 1% duty cycle square wave) would go in anti-parallel, but a (real) capacitor at the end of one winding allows for the bifilar coil to switch to serial ringing, as soon as the pulse stops.The same may be true for asymmetric bifilar coils like the one in the joule thief.

    That being said, this isn’t exactly verified science. However, there is something about capacitors that’s really mind boggling: alter the capacitance of an uncharged 2-plate capacitor: increase the distance, it gets charged! But as it’s charged, plates attract each-other physically, hence you need energy to separate them – law of energy conservation saved – for now. Now discharge it and move plates closer, it gets charged again, but this time the attraction will help your physical motion, which violates the said law from my point of view, and could explain several phenomena. Everybody with two pieces of aluminum foil and a volt meter can do this experiment. Try: Book – aluminum – kitchen wrap – aluminum – book sandwich, then squeeze it and watch the voltage.
