I suppose it would be more efficient and easier to just get some of those booster chips to run stuff of a single AA/AAA, but where is the fun in that. I have been trying different satcure configurations.
dual coil, single NPN
single coil dual NPN
single coil single NPN single PNP
but I keep hitting a power wall at about 50mA output current. I was thinking, the average ECv drop on a bi-polar transistor is what .7v? total voltage across coil would be .8v in 'charge'. from what I remember, germanium components only have a .3v drop but are VERY static sensitive. Are there any other style of bi-polar transistors that world have a low collector/emmiter drop?
Just thought I would toss this one out here...
