Hi Patrick

I did what you said but i have a small question.
Do you use any diodes from Emitter to collector?
I appreciate your help very much

Ehsan

not on this build.
I've used them in the past, but have not seen any advantage so I do not put them on, instead I keep the neon lamp there to protect the transistor. I am curious why JB put them in the patent...

Ehsan,
I was not paying close enough attention.
the primary battery is backward
flip it so the + is up
leave everything else the same
then take the bottom trigger coil wire and put it to the primary +

Hi Patrick

Thank you for your patient with me for asking too many question.
And i also try with your help draw the circuit to help the others to replicate your experiment so bear with me.
I will change the drawing according to your last notices

xee2 - Just wanted to say you make the best diagrams of anybody on any of these forums. What program are you using?

thanks eshan for your perseverance still cannot find the 2 x 10 nf 250 v any alternative for the big cap 3300 is it non polarized dc capacitor????

were almost there
happy experimenting

@ kcarring

I replicated your 555 timer circuit using TIP31C and TIP32C. With 12 volts it draws 48 mA on high setting. The bulb is very bright. The transistors do not get hot. I like it.

Hi - here are my latest results with a flyback oscillator


72W CFL . 35mA @5V
UV tube 8mA @ 5V
21W CFL 1 - 10 mA @ 5V

Hi totoalas

I cannot also find this cap in Sweden so I order it from Rick Friedrich web site and here is the link

10 uf 250V yellow capacitors

And it’s very cheap and I ordered 7 of them.
It’s non-polarized which means it can be connected either way.
I am trying to play with these caps.
Also don’t forget that Patrick using in his setup
1. 1k ohm pot 2W
2. 5k ohm pot 0.25W
3. 670 ohm line resistors 2W also I am trying to play with these
resistors value and powers I have many of these resisters 1W ,2W
and 5W.
4. Two 3300uf 350v but Patrick said as I remember that low
impedance butter and I have also many capacitors with different
values I also intended to play with it but one at a time.


5. don’t forget to use the neon if you want to protect your transistor
and its Ne-2
6. and the transistor he is using is MJE13009G I will stick with all the
parts he used and then I will use another
7. now I have all the parts except the 10uf 250v caps which I expect
to have it within two days so I already start working on Patrick
setup from yesterday

Good luck.
And many thanks to Patrick

Thanks Patrick and Eshan,
Except for the caps , everything is ready for soldering....

Ive just wound around a crt toroid core a 6 wire # 23 50 meters
and using the MJE 13009 only 4 at the moment.....
My solar panel 60 watts 17 volts dc will arrive next tuesday .....
my 2 car batteries 70 AH - just filled with distilled water

Hope to get this going by end of next week
In the meantime , i will replicate my flip flop transformer using an amplifier toroid


happy experimenting

thanks again

Hi - here are my latest results with a flyback oscillator


72W CFL . 35mA @5V 165mW, if we divide 72W by 165 mW that wold be 436 times less power- very impressive
UV tube 8mA @ 5V
21W CFL 1 - 10 mA @ 5V

I did something similar too, what kind of transformer you are using? Одним словом круто.

Hi folks, speaking of flip flops.
I'm trying out matts tesla switch and using the Basic Stamp 2 micro-controller, I just used one 12 volt battery, hooked up to a transformer and I am able to precisely tune the output for highest voltage.
So basically a flip flop, though using the basic stamp 2 circuit kit to turn on the transistors.
It is lighting a 34 string of leds at full bright using 1.8 watts, not sure if this string is supposed to draw 4.8 or 2.4 watts, probably 2.4.
The inverter aspect is useful, though what also interests me with using this stamp circuit, is the possibility of using it to pulse one transistor switch or multiple switches, since it has 15 output pins and one could make a radiant charger from it and then the pulse rate can be fine tuned and who knows how it might perform then.
Your thoughts welcome.

Very interesting Tyson. I'm running a PICAXE, but could I see your code? It'd be close, anyway. Have you ever played with driving an AD9850 or 51 DDS synthesizer with Basic Stamp for the purpose of creating a sine wave, high frequency? Been thinking about that. I bought a AD9850 little breakout kit, (cause SMD soldering is NOT my thing...). I think the AD9851 has better specs, not sure.

Nice! Runs better than mine. I've been fiddling around with mixing the source pulse with an amplified ground signal, in the middle of a darlington pair. I got some "flashes" but nothing stable yet. (like in a IMHOTEP CFL circuit) - trying to get away from that series filter. One definite advantage to this circuit is it's very low idle draw. It'd be a nice one to use for garden lighting / shed light.

Also want to address your standard signature comment, "Tar sands ? or... Sandy Tires? Ride your bike to work. Complete dependency comes from poor consumer choices."
The blame game never solved any issues, ...

Point well taken, I'm gonna change that up! Cheers

Hi folks, Hi kcarring, thanks for reply.
It's a simple little code from Matts tesla switch pdf at 'use for the tesla switch' thread.
Do
Pulsout 1, 1250
Pulsout 2, 1250
Loop
The Basic Stamp 2 is 2 microseconds per unit, so 1250 is 2500 microsecond pulse and a picaxe uses 10 microseconds per unit, so it would be 250 instead of 1250.
The sine wave module sounds interesting, though wouldn't the output be limited to that little board.
