Looks great GK! as expected. And right where it needs to be! So you are trusting an outside source to produce your radiant driver circuits? Most gutsy indeed! build a coherer and loop one turn around your feedback and connect it to a continuity kill switch just to be safe. Until we have a better way to measure RE that seems to work best for me. Nice work!! GiantKiller. I cant wait to see your scope shots!

The control box under the receivers alters the input signal to reduce the feedback gain which maintains the stable power lever out which in turns controls the entire feedback loop.

I am starting the mass production model.

--giantkiller. For such a time as this...

@spherenot,

I wrapped it open by hand and stepped on it.
It's 2 1/4 high, loop depth is 1". Wrap it around a static spray can.

Hello All,

Thought I would share my progress with you. I have spent the entire day working on my new control circuit to power my new TPU prototypes. It is designed strictly for capacitive, pulsed, discharge into the coils. There are two independently controlled 555 timers both running off of a single 9V battery. The idea is to give the caps an initial charge from the battery, and then recycle the BEMF spikes after they are discharged to recover some of the energy. Then I will add a feedback circuit to charge the caps from the voltage produced from the collector coil.

God Bless,
