I've met "Big Clive" (aka Clive Mitchell).
He's quite scary (not really true). Made some other videos too which probably aren't appropriate for this forum... (as a moderator, if I posted one I'd probably have to ban myself
)
He's very active in the HV world that I used to inhabit, and is also, famously, the genuine certified inventor of the circuit we all know as the "Joule Thief", to the extent that he coined the name as well...
The Joule Thief was based on a circuit published in the Ingenuity Unlimited section of EPE in November 1999 by a chap from Swindon called "Z. Kaparnik" - Clive developed it, gave it the name we all know, and published it.
The only reason I know this drivel is that many years ago I re-wrote major chunks of the Wikipedia entry on the Joule Thief
(because the previous entry was rubbish and plain incorrect)
