12v car battery
+ chopped to primary on ignition coil
555 circuit chops with square waves and isolated by opto
secondary outputs HV on collapse
HV + output through diode
+ from diode through + inductor on bifilar to + tube
- tube back to the - inductor on bifilar
- from - inductor through variable resistor back to secondary
variable resistor is to tune parallel DC "Tesla Resonance"
of the neg choke to the pos choke. They must be synchronized.
Action in tube gap for water is by way of voltage potential
annode insulated on OUTSIDE
cathode insulated on INSIDE
this schematic is without EEC but should be added
I have NOT built this exact version but present it as a simple
option to see the whole system together. Instead of battery,
it could be variac through bridge to primary on ignition coil.
Trigger can be on secondary side but SCR type component to
be triggered by similar 555 setup I believe must be able to handle
the voltage.
Anyway, just please look at the simplicity of the whole setup.
Resonance will be in bifilar chokes when tuned.
Voltage potential will be pulsed at plates without current as
Meyer's has always said.
BUT, I am not without other knowledge. I now have a tubular cell design which allows me to read 12.4 volts at the cell with only 3.8 amps, and on unconditioned tubes.
Untill I figured out this design, I too was only able to read between 2 and 4 volts, as you mention above. I feel I am on the right track with this design, but need more voltage potential for better results. I fully intend to share my findings with everyone here, but need to get a little further first.
If you could, please draw out and explain in as simple and complete terms as possible how to hook up the above mentioned ignition coil between a PWM and the cell (so even a dummy like me can understand).
My PWM was ordered online from vptechno.com and, as near as I can tell, is the Lawton circuit type using the 555 timers. I tried to wind a bifillar of 100 turns around grouped welding rods yesterday. I don't know if I did it right, but was able to get 1 amp lower on same settings, but also lost 2 volts at cell and a little less visible gas production. I probably didn't have it hooked up correctly.......wrong components......north......south......out of phase......protection diodes......and other stuff I have yet to understand.
I don't know how to continue except for asking these questions here. The info on this forum is partly responsible for leading me to this design, now I just need the finish to the circuits to have a useable booster model that can be duplicated. Thanks everyone for sharing info and helping out those of us who are less knowledgeable.
