     Wire in, secondary wound and one primary. 144 secondary with 48 for primaries. Have two freq gens, so will start using them to test somewhat. In contatct with source to create a controller that will be usable. No info given, just what I want from it.

@All,

Single chip 1/2/4X generator source code there for GAL22V10 DIP.

Hello All,

It's been a while since I have posted any info on my progress. Things are moving a bit slower than I had expected but are coming along nicely. I have finally picked out all the parts for the controller and have began to draw the schematics for the boards. I have made a few changes to simplify the design (and make it easier to fit inside the TPU). Rather than placing the DDS chip, Driver stage, and HV and detection circuitry on separate cards, I'm integrating everything onto just to 1.5-1.75" square PCBs. I'm also going to use a regular BASIC STAMP rather than the OEM module.

The problem I ran into was that of space constraints. The control unit, including the OEM board and other cards would have been extremely difficult to squeeze into the center of the TPU. Plus, the OEM module was basically setting the smallest size at 2" square. But now that I have eliminated the board, I am attempting to make the system as small as 1.5" square with two PCBs to hold all the circuitry. These boards will sit sandwiched on top of each other with the HV module mounted on the underside of the bottom board out of the way. That will give us plenty of room to fit it inside the ring. Also, I am going to see if I can find a small enclosure for the unit to sit inside of, which will take up more space. So I figured that the smaller I make it, the better off we are. Time allowing, I should have the first complete, preliminary, schematic of the unit finished by the end of the week. There is still a lot of detail work to do and then I will begin the board layout but I am finally making some major headway. More to come soon.

God Bless,

I'm still here finished secondary windings last night. Been on the phone alot with Ward in the back ground. Feel like any post I make at this time will be just chatter and don't want to clog up things with that. The only thing different that I have done is mount and AC gear reduced motor on a platform with a foot pedal to turn it off and on. On top of this motor is a flat surface kinda like a pottery wheel that rotates, and you probably guessed it I used it to spin the core while winding the magnet wire on... As agreed when I was given the opportunity to participate I will post results as I test..

Hi all TPU builders.
I want to restructure the whole overunity forum with the boards and need
to know, if we should still keep this board nonpublic ?

If yes and only the TPU Elite members should get access, please let me know.
Then I will keep it as it is.

Regards, Stefan.
