Alas

Been busy, only I have managed to make a signal generator using a 'learn electronics' kit. 100hz to 20khz with 555 timer, which I have 4 replacements for, and an ic chip holder for easy replacing... Oh and I've got the missus winding a long single wind coil.

Conical coils

Been thinking of how to make these conical coils.. Get 2 pieces of thick cardboard, scissors, wooden ruler (40cm?) one piece of paper same size as cardboard, super glue (fast setting time), that papery sticking tape, clag (ie for paper mache') glue or wood glue?, several candles, and an old stove pot.

Drill 2 holes in each end of your ruler. Stick pens in the holes, one piercing the middle of your piece of cardboard. Draw a circle. While you're there, draw a line front centre of circle to edge.

Cut down that line with scissors. Take note of radius, this is length of two sides of triangle, at 60 degrees to each other. Either draw a triangle to scale using protractor, or do math. The third side is the diameter of your base.

Take each side of your cut, put one over the other and slide it along until you have a cone with base diameter as you worked out... Sticky tape then glue.

Make another one.

Paste wood or clag glue all over the surface of your first cone. Stick the 2nd cone over the top. When it dries, it should be quite strong. You may want to coat it in glue or laminate it again...

Here's where the candles come in.. Melt the wax. (you had cut the same shape out of your piece of paper as you cut out of your cardboard). Dip the paper in the wax, then drape around the cone you made earlier.

When it sets, you can start winding your coil. Start by super glueing your wire to the cone base. Wind a few turns, then hold down with papery tape. Then superglue. Etc...... All the way to the top.

When you've finished, heat it up somehow, oven, microwave, and the wax will melt. The paper should pull away from the coil.

Haven't tested it... Should be able to re-use the coil.

I've been thinking about this also. I was in the dollar shop the other day and I noticed they had that green styrofoam stuff florists use in different shapes. Had some cones and toroid in various sizes.

As for winding it, the wax on the surface of the object should help hold the wire in place, might not need the super glue. Was considering throwing some polyurethane over the top of it after its wound.


edit - gotta finish my coffee before I post~

Dear Aromaz,

On your Video 21 and 22 you have definitely achieved something,

Why don't you keep going on using heat generator system?

Please use Far IR lamps and use them as load.. If you don't like to generate heat, then please try to generate magnetic force... to generate rotation..

I've replicated Lidmotors 555 circuit with some minor modifications since I didn't have all the parts needed.

I was missing some 10k potentiometers, so I made due with what I had on hand.

resistance to pin 7 is 200 ohms, and pin 7 to 6 is 1k ohms.

I placed a diode between 7 and 6 also. This reduced the duty cycle to <50%.

I don't have an Oscope so I'm not sure what the duty cycle is.

pin 5 has a .68 uf ceramic, this seemed to sharpen the on/off response.

using a 4.7 uf cap connected to pin 6.

I got these ideas from 555 timer

Light output is slightly diminished with the addition of a diode, but the amp draw is way down, the transistor and 25ohm rheostat don't even get warm now.

while playing around I hooked the high voltage output from the coil to the aluminum duct work in my apartments heating system, there was a significant increase in light output along with high voltage present over the entire circuit.

On a side note, I've blown up quite a few 555's playing around, first couple were because I forgot the 1n4001 diode going to ground to protect the circuit. Very important to have this it seems.

Waiting for an order from jameco.

I'm curious to see what happens when you add a big cap in parallel to the source voltage, and have 1 master 2n3055 and 3 or more 2n3055s slaves pumping to the primary coil with a very short duty cycle. I'm looking for the big punch with a rapid off time.

I'm gonna try to use an opto-decoupler for the 555 to help protect it even further. Need to wait since I blew up my last 555 last night.

Diode on 555

Where exactly did you add the diode? I have spare 555's but still...... Could you post a schematic? Much appreciated if you can :-)

I used a 4733 zener diode going from pin 7 to pin6 (black band on 6)

I tried a couple of other low voltage diodes and there didn't seem to be much difference

circuit is just a hybrid of this 555 timer and Lidmotors from page 64

@ mutten

Thanks for the reminder. I'd saved lidmotor's schematic then forgotten about it... So much is happening at mo, and I'm following too many threads to keep it all straight.. But that's a good thing? Right?

yeah baby i am back in business

i have my first kill of one ignition coil and one trannie.

LOL

You cooked the ignitio coil? Then that 'water' was transformer oil rather than water. Makes sense why it remained so long.

Wecome back. Hmm, those ignition coil...... strip them, there is a very delicate coil inside which will take many hours to wind.

The plenty burned 555's is what made me stop and actually find this circuit accidentally. I tried a number of 555 circuits, both as TIMER and PWM's. If you get it right it might be good. I would like to see what will happen if we can take this circuit up to something like 350 kHz rather than the maximum 2 or 3 kHz it settles on.

The cap is also another aspect not yet fully investigated.

@ Aromaz

I've gotten the system output up to 20khz in self oscillation mode by using that salt water capacitor off the + of secondary to magnetically quenching spark gap to cfl to ground. With a bigger F cap, could get output frequency quite high?? On the resonance thread there's been talk about making hv caps out of plastic page protectors or glass and Alfoil. Or was it the gray tube thread?

Your circuit is next to replicate, was waiting on more 3055's. I just hope I have the right 2n2222's.

I agree with the higher frequency, Gotoluc was messing with that area and getting great results. A week or so ago i was researching even higher frequencies, ended up getting sidetracked on a mini tesla coil forum. I'll try to dredge up the info but someone was using mosfets in the Mhz range.

Slightly off topic but I ordered enough parts to build one of Dr Stifflers SEC15-3. I haven't seen any action on this on overunity.com for a while. There are a lot of strange phenomena these circuits share.

when I saw the video a couple of days ago and saw the splotch on the ceiling above the coil, that was my first impression too.

Oil expands when it gets hot and probably bursted through a seal and sprayed up.

[Mutten]

This isn't what I was looking for in regards to mosfets, but I found this circuit to be intriguing.
