modified Don Smith’s schematic “magnetic resonance”; have made all parts movable for fine tuning
a little sneak peek at the revived Don Smith coils, added Resonator/ Load coil, and the easiest way to get the neon to pop on was to tune the secondary as it was running….
Now virtually identical connections as Don Smith’s board
Was doing some work with a simple step down with ferite toroid for fun, and hooked 6, 12V 1Watt bulbs in PARALLEL. The result was significantly brighter output on L2 compared to L1. Parallel…
Very pleased with the results from this new setup -Variable Freq and Pulse Width adjustable with 2 dials from 20khz to 300khz + with various cap combinations and 0-100% duty cycle -anti-parallel double ignition…
Completed the Tank circuit for both L1 and L2, the values are not quite correct for L2, .03uf is what i need, but i accidentally used .3uf 😀 So it should get even sweeter…
Hehe also tried a single turn primary here 😀 was… interesting 🙂 So im going to optimize the step down transformer, and possibly incorporate Thane Heins’s Bi-Toroid in the process. Although there is already…
Part B …From the one Hv terminal i have the spark in SERIES with L1, then the air cap is parallel with the HV outputs. Freq in that vid is roughly 50khz…im guessing. waiting…
Quick update, after seeing some more info and constant reference from Stivep1, Tiger, Aidas, Arunas, Anonimus, etc…i am compelled to experiment on the side with Tariel Kapanadze’s work 🙂 There are various schematics out…
STILL IMAGE OF A CAP DISCHARGE… imageshack.us SCHEMATIC HERE… imageshack.us This was kinda rushed, wanted to have more to show, and thought of more right after, This is no-where near resonance, just used what…
