| * According to [http://www.elperfecto.com/2011/01/22/joule-thief-and-capacitors/|this source], it seems to work to put a capacitor as an output, as long as there is a diode (potentially an LED) to keep the voltage low. | * According to [[http://www.elperfecto.com/2011/01/22/joule-thief-and-capacitors/|this source]], it seems to work to put a capacitor as an output, as long as there is a diode (potentially an LED) to keep the voltage low. |
