Regeneration and the Toroidal Power Unit

@Emdevices,


On the second thought, there is a simpler test for your device. Get a fresh 9V battery and leave you device working over night or notice how many hours it can work before it dies. If it really takes only 0.05A, it should survive for a very long time, I guess, for a couple of days. In either way, it would give a pretty good estimation. If the current is high, that 9V battery in your movie would die very fast when overloaded.

Kames.

%$@#?*^#)!Ã,  Ã,  blastedÃ,  multimeter !!!!Ã, Ã, 

I'm afraid I figured out the problem.Ã, Ã,  Damn multimeter shows the result off by a factor of 10.

I hooked up a 1.2 Volt battery and placed a 10 ohm resistor as the load and measured the amps,Ã,  and I got 0.012 amps,Ã,  it should be 0.12 amps.

What kind of a wird ass engineer designed these things?Ã, Ã,  Maybe I should stick to what I'm good at and let the technicians play with the scopes.

Sorry guys, I apologize.Ã, Ã,  The euphoria was great, now I have to pay for it.Ã, Ã,  Big sigh !!

Oh well, onward we go.

EM:

Well, we're disappointed as well. Blasted digital meter! You're quite sure you're 1.2V battery has not discharged to 0.12V? One last hope!

cheers

Well, you never know, my volt meter could be off by 10 as well. 

I'm calling it quits for a while.

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks EM!
at least we did not have to wait long!

some people take months.....and then wont come clean..

BUT! I would not give up on the blocking oscillator...
3 of those coil pairs  in a ring, superimposed 1a 3b 2a 1b 3a 2b..if you see the merry go round..

Remember the Carl Hurst DOC?
