Hi everyone,
I have some good news.
As I write this the coil is self running (NO BATTERY ATTACHED TO CAP BANK) and the voltage is at 19.45 Volts DC and rising
I also added a pickup coil with diode, capacitor and 50K Ohm load and it is at 1.03 volt dc.
I changed my MOSFET gate driver to a SG3525A circuit which I built some time back and immediately had much more success compared to the 555 PWM.
Here is a base circuit for it:
Here is the new video: YouTube - Self Running Coil test 4
The core of the toroid is a regular ferrite 1"-3/8 OD, 13/16" ID and 7/16" high. The coil is wound 5 layers of 24 AWG on each half. One wound CCW and the other CW. Inductance is 1,050mH and 7.6 Ohms with coils bridged together.
I will be limited in time to answer questions for the rest of the week.
