Successful TPU-ECD replication !

Hi all,

CADUCEUS TESTS UPDATE

Yesterday evening I pulsed my Caduceus test-set using two sychronized frequencies. I connected my function generator to a flip-flop in order to obtain the 2 freqs: F1 and F2=F1/2 so duty cycle for both signals were 50%. Results are not better than what already obtained with single freq, but the best point shifted to F1=240 and F2=120 KHz; with that setting I obtained about 14W output (on lamp) for a 16-17 W input (from PS). Waveforms observed are very similar to that already posted.

Next steps are:
1 - try the 2 freqs but not synchronized, try not only 1st & 2nd harmonic but also near freqs in order to obtain 5000KHz  and 8 Hz beats.

2 - Try with two Caduceus in series. The second Caduceus with a much higher resistance.

3 - Try a special crafted Caduceus for implementing feedback.

Hey all!

I hope everyone is finding the progs usefull. If anyone has any ideas for other quick calculator type electronic progs, let me know. I am getting back into the swing of this again, so am having fun building tools.

Progress report. I am getting ready to build a quick coil design calc. I have rounded up almost all of the necessary formulae, and am starting the design process now. I will notify it's upload after it is completed.

Question, has anyone came across any bugs which I need to work out of frequency calculator? If so, e-mail me, and let me know.

Has anyone here achieved overunity?

@all

To keep from spamming this thread, I started a new thread called "Free TPU Design Tools".  I realized that this could potentially distract from the discussion topic here, which I do not desire.

Please post all replies or comments to/about/for the free tools concepts such as FrequencyCalc there. I will post all updates and info there as well.


@ronotte

This is quite interesting, I look forward to more results and info.
