Sorry to interject with some on-topic subject matter, but I thought it might be worthwhile seeing that the GL/SJ Joule Thief runs perfectly fine without a diode or LED in series with the load. I've made this simulation with a 100 Ohm resistive load.

I also have this running with your component tweaks, where Rload is 9.8k, Rb is 2k, V2 is 3V, and the series battery resistor (R6) is 3.1 Ohms.

Steve, I would encourage you to try this and see if:

a) it still runs,
b) it still gives you a COP>1 measurement.

@.99:  OK, I've removed the LED, as you suggested.  It rings, although there are significant changes as we shall see.  (I note that you posted your question on OUR.com also; so I'm responding both places you posted.)

 Photo shows the scope traces for V across Rload -- left is with LED in, right is with LED removed.  Clearly the scope trace changes -- the frequency goes from 152.1 kHz with LED to 182.5kHz without LED, Vpp goes from 2.22 V to 4.44 V (note that the scale left is 0.5 V/div and 1 V/div on the right).  Of course, the pattern changes dramatically as one can see.

  Conditions:  Rload is 986ohms, Rb = 48.6k.  Vbatt = 1.62V.  Then I replaced the battery with a 10,000 uF cap to provide the input energy -- permitting a straightforward determination of the INPUT ENERGY (without using a DSO).  Thus, I like to use a cap for the input energy rather than a battery -- this also permits rapid comparisons when changes are made in the circuit.   (The second photo shows the circuit running off a 10,000 uF cap.  It is now a very straightforward circuit.)

For example, with the 10,000 uF cap charged initially to 1.62V, the LED glows for 46 seconds then the circuit continues to "ring" as seen on the DSO for a total of 1min 44s.  (The scope pattern, V across Rload, changes about the time the LED goes "out", but the circuit continues to ring as seen on the scope.)

Same conditions except removing the LED, the scope shows that the circuit rings for a lesser time = 51 seconds.

So, yes, the circuit changes quite dramatically without the LED, but still rings.

Now, .99, you said with this change,

Measuring Pout now becomes a lot easier.

If you will then explain how you would measure Pout with this change, I'll do it and calculate Eout/Ein. 
I'm looking forward to your suggestion for Pout; thanks.

Sorry for the lack of postings lately...  My wife and I are in Maryland helping our daughter with the arrival of a wonderful grand-daughter!  she was born last week; some complications, but both doing fine now.

I came across a very good vid, Michael Faraday, on PBS -- and it shows his homopolar motor at the end, the very first motor:

I'm doing some research on Faraday's paradox now... based on the homopolar motor / generator.

Next, a short vid showing some budding scientists -- grandchildren!   There should be a certain child-like curiosity and joy as we undertake experiments in freedom energy, IMO!

Sorry, Nerzh, for the slow response.  I've been traveling -- just greeted our 10th grand-child to the world!  and what a world it is.  Would be much better with freedom energy!

Here's the link, to see the budding scientists:  http://youtu.be/itXT8H5EXoo   
 This rising generation needs our help and attention!

Nerzh, pls try the video once more... I hope the "repair" stays in place!

And you're right -- the rising generation is " very + witty and very +  conscious"!

 Michael Faraday invented the world's first electrical motor in 1821 in England, now called the "homopolar motor."   I put together various versions as we visited family from Maryland to Missouri to Utah in the last several weeks.  Fun and educational.  Perhaps you will find something that YOU would like to build.  It's quite easy (see videos) and fascinating to study.     The simplest version, shown in the first segment, requires just one 1-inch diameter disk magnet with conducting coating (about 3 mm thick), a 9" piece of 14-gauge wire, and a battery (C-cell or AA-cell is best).   You can buy the needed neodymium/rare earth magnet(s) from supermagnetman.com and other sources.  I went to a hardware store to get the copper wire -- pulled one wire out of ordinary electrical wiring for a house. Note the ground wire has no insulation and is easiest to use. 
Also, I recommend that you learn more about Michael Faraday and his discoveries!

Hi Prof. Jones,

I have already "built" another version of this homopolar motor.
This version: "Faraday Motor demonstration"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=k7JTyRBfeF4

I use a nail and a bigger magnet. It works very well! You can amaze your friends (should one of them be a 'know it all' skeptic scientist).

Mainstream Science is just avoiding some very simple 'garage' experiments, and hence, ignoring some very simple evidences.

BTW? "Centrifugal force - is it OU?"

Officially it is not. Of course.

Very Best

Hi Prof. Jones,

First of all. Did you receive my email (about one parcel)?

Else:
Should I have missed something?

"I like the vid where the fellow has two ring magnets on either
side of a conducting disk, and he spins it with a drill."

I'm not aware of such a vid with 2 magnets and a drill.
Sorry.

Very Best
