user TURBO?s replication of Steven Mark?s TPU ?

Hi Otto,
Good results:

Current through a 60W bulb will be about 0.25A @ 240V RMS (0.25A x 240V = 60W)
Resistance is therefore 960 Ohms (R=V/I , 240V/0.25A = 960R)

Therefore I estimate the current for 160V will be about 0.166A and the power about 26.5 W
This does not take into account the resistance change owing to the heating of the element, so this figure may be completely wrong.
The only real way to find out for sure is a clamp meter.
If the terminal voltage is 170V RMS then it may be worth trying 2 60W lamps and seeing what current and voltage you get.
Ideally you need a set 160V bulbs to test with.;o)
I look forward to your pictures and circuit details.

Regards

Rob

I'm just glad Hart helped shut sparkman up.  What a tool!  Good show!

Are you kidding me? Turbo was loving that heated spotlight... Look how furiously he posted all that new video documentation. Sparksman's actions and questions inspired turbo to post something new and that makes him ok by me. Plus this thread is a spoof thread, a yarn on the 1 part soap opera and 2 parts thriller story line that has now poured over to this fake thread too. So basically you people chased off another user for expressing his opinion.
(IN A SPOOF THREAD NONE THE LESS)

-Congrats?

Just as it is Turbos right to post or not post what ever he chooses,
it is also every other users right to do the same.
Even if you don't agree with it.

Altho lltDaniel's posts make me favor forced censorship. LOL!

"I AM" slightly annoyed...

Rob,

you are right, of course. I only want something to explain:
I used 3 555 timers as my square waves oscillators. I had the shematic from the web and did not test anything on my oscillators. When I burned 1 of the chips I finally tested my circuits and what I saw was a disaster!! No clean square waves but a lot of everything in the waves. I used new timers but had a bad shematic. Also the frequency could be changed only a few Hz or kHz and of course all was s**t. Even with this wrong setup of the electronics I had good results.
Now Im building an almost profi function generator with 3 oscillators...

Verry well....
this post is directed to those who are in disbelieve and who think it just doesn't work.
not to the open minded.


You were right all along....i powerd it up with 80 x 3 = 240 volt cr2035 maxell lithium cells.
i have a friend who has a computer supply shop and i borrowd the battery's.
