Don Smith Device Project Part 34B: Test the Tuning of Part A

Very pleased with the results here, i really didnt think the coupling would be good enough, however, the voltage is actually too high to allow much current at this frequency to light the 12v halogen, so i used the 12v auto switches used in earlier vids, they are a great indicator. Operating at 49 Khz, for the 1.57 Mhz tune successful. Input of 45vac @ 200ma was used here, just to see if it would respond, and it did very well, seem brighter than before using those lights. I need to now either step down the voltage more, or just stick with the stepdown coils, we’ll see 😉
