Lords of the Ring

Guess I'm the only one heading down high-freq road.


Might look at a freq multipliers:

and/or Tesla method of magnetic quenching...

By crisscrossing 2 or 3 Tesla coil eminations, phase cancellation is what John Hutchison is exhibiting.

Damn, he's got to be in the terahertz!

--giantkiller. I always wanted to know.

Update:

Just finished winding the center collector coil. It is composed of two parallel turns of speaker wire on the core. This gives me eight individual multi-stranded wires to mix and match later. I will be starting on the control coils next tonight.

if it runs on tubes you can make it run on ss it will be a lot easyer to make it work with tubes because you can use a tube generator for many rings and a scope to what happins when you hit the right freqs after you find out what the #'s are for the ring  you can then build a simple cricuit that only produces the freqs you need for that ring thats what i see any way take what i say as you wish

just my thoughts thought i might share

is

No. What you need is three independent but syncronized pulse generators. This way you can phase control the final signal and end up finding the correct tuning very quickly. With a tube circuit run by three separate function gens you cannot delay pauses and phase control the output signal to the control coils. This is KEY and what SM was talking about.

Adding tube circuitry only complicates the process and adds one more item to be played with. Now, if you are using them solely for gaining higher voltage range than Mosfets can deliver then ok, no prob, use tubes. But they are not a panacea. They are great for switching multi-kilovolts @ multi-kiloamps, and guitar amplifiers. But we aren't crushing cans or shrinking quarters here, nor are we trying to amplify music. We are simply pumping coils with a square waves and need VERY precisely controlled timing. They are however very wasteful of energy in the process and if you are close to overunity you probably wont see it because the input power will be much higher with tubes.

The real discussion here should be about precise pulse generation circuits with a very high degree of variability and linked for phase control of three different frequencies. Use whatever you like, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from playing with tubes, but if you want to make this thing work at the control of a simple potentiometer then microcontrollers and similar circuitry are what you need.

Either way, you'll see very soon
