So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

[Stravinsk]

I created this:

EveryCircuit - LC Ocillator powers load part 2

Left side of lamp is an oscillator I borrowed, right side is my simple circuit using the oscillator's output.

Edit: Change of circuit design

I'll be getting ready for bed soon. It's been a lazy evening here.

 

[Naiwen]

Howdy sup there guys man! How are you today? Today, just seen my therapist and psychiatrist for 3 hours. Tonight, just relaxing online before hitting the pillow.

 

[Lamb]

Getting groceries today and then going for my Covid test this afternoon that is needed before I have my scope done on Friday (routine scope).

 

[Naiwen]

Hello afternoon all! How are you? This morning, I've just had a shower and hair wash and it's pretty decent weather today. Tomorrow, will be raining the whole day. It's the last day of sunshine till tomorrow. The afternoon, just playing some games on my phone before hitting the bed tonight.

 

[tango]

Went for a run this morning. No speed records falling today, just about getting some exercise. Maybe later in the week I'll try one of my longer routes.

 

[Lamb]

It rained this morning before I could get up and go for my walk.

 

[tango]

I was thinking about getting another run in this morning but the weather looks like that may not happen. I'd really rather not walk laps of the church - that's kinda boring - but at least it means I can get some exercise in even if nothing very intense.

 

[Naiwen]

Yo sup there! How are you doing so far with your day? Today, just playing some games on my Switch before hitting the sack tonight.

 

[Lamb]

I woke up so tired...more than I've been in a long time.

This is the general idea. I do not think this circuit is operating at perfect resonance, but a large voltage gain is seen on the highlighted wire just above the far right 5pf capacitor. It takes several seconds (real time) to see it on the scope, but it would be nearly instantaneous if circuit was operated. That is just to do with the limitations of simulation time on the program with the pulse square wave I'm using.

Also, his specifications call for a pulse train (group of pulses separated by rest period repeated continuously). This is not incorporated into my circuit here, but can be simulated by releasing the switch to battery, whereupon doing so an even larger voltage spike comes off when the switch has been on for several seconds then disconnected (up to 4Kv depending on connection time).

As you can see, the starting voltage source is only 9v and in just a little while the voltage is up between 240V and 320V (far right capacitor) and the power consumption for a 9v battery is only in the milli-amp range. So power consumption is low to create a gain from 9v to between 240 and 320 V, with large spikes up to 4kV coming off when switch disconnected.

I'm sure this is far from perfect or ideal, but it provides the general idea. The capacitor on the right is the one with water as the dialectric, receiving the largest voltage gain and voltage spikes when switch is disconnected.

Not sure if I'm missing something on the diagram but I'm not seeing where the power supply is at all. I can see a very low current paired with an oscillating voltage that rises to around 240V. It will be interesting to see if you can make it into something that generates enough power to run itself.

The power supply is on the far left (square wave symbol). If you click on it and choose the wrench icon at the bottom of the screen, it will show you that it pulses @ 9v high and 0v low. To see the scope, click on it.

The simulation is operating at around 30 microseconds per second. So waiting approx 1 minute and then releasing the switch to the battery (below and to the left of the amp-meter) will bump up voltage across the far right capacitor to around 500V. Doing this repeatedly will move the voltage into the KV range.

Also, the voltage increase (for this circuit) is to tear the electrons off the water molecule (far right capacitor) producing HHO using voltage and not current. I'm not sure how well this would do for powering a load as that requires more amperage.

 

[tango]

Ah, OK. I'm not familiar with the web site and the small print looked like it was something else rather than a pulsed supply. I took a quick fiddle with it and with no particular strategy managed to get the voltage to over 500. It's interesting to see the shape of the voltage wave on the trace - once the amplitude gets to a certain level it looks like a regular sine wave but until then the shape is very different.

Howdy sup there! How are ye all doing today? Today, the weather is pretty weird : it's so hot and humid that I have to put on the AC in the house. Luckily for me though, it's cooling down tomorrow in a few hours. I'm so hot and muggy even with the AC on today.

 

[tango]

Got a cupboard sorted out and some stuff put into a better boxing system than it was before. I also went for a run and somehow managed to shave a full minute off my PB. I'm still not quite sure how. I also think it's safe to say my heart rate chest strap is malfunctioning. Last time I went out it said my pulse was running at nearly 170 after I'd run about 50 yards downhill. Today at the bottom of the hill it thought I'd hit 160. So maybe it's time for a new chest strap.

I've also been looking at the work I need to do to drill the holes through my wall. The local hardware store has drill bits that are 12 and 24 inches long but I really want something 18 inches. The annoying thing is that the bricks are only 8 inches thick but one of them is very difficult to get at, with a beam very close to it. I'm going to have to drill a hole in the beam, then drill through the concrete at a slight angle because the drill won't fit between adjacent beams. So the 12 inch drill may just about make it through but I really don't want to deal with an unfinished hole and then have to buy a longer bit anyway. The store was able to order me an 18 inch bit, although I'm still tempted to just go back and buy the 24 inch one so I can get on with the job now rather than having to wait for it. Maybe I will yet, but the 24 inch bit is $40 and I'd rather not spend that on a bit I'm only expecting to ever use twice.

I have a routine scope later this morning and the commute is going to be horrible because of construction.

 

[Naiwen]

Happy Friday all! How are you? Hooray for the cold and refreshing weather! Today, just enjoying my usual TV show before heading to sleep tonight.

 

[Lamb]

My scope turned out good so now I'm going to rest before the headache sets in.

 

[Naiwen]

Yo sup there all man! How are you today? Today, just playing some games on my phone before heading the sack tonight.
