Circuit setups for pulse motors

[capthook]

Thanks so much for the replies!

I'm trying to use capacitor charge ( I think I'll need a much bigger capacitor) to power my pulse coils @ .40 watts (for about 1/2 sec).  This is the last part of the circuit I need.  So it's not just voltage regulation, but also current regulation - the resistance of my coil is  10 ohm.  A linear regulator is out as the "waste" heat is a non-starter.... so looks like the best solution is the switched-mode conversion.

I found this part that seems to offer what I need - and easy to implement:

Is this a good solution?  At $15 it's a bit spendy - but if it will do what I need....then ok!

I guess I'll pick up the radio shack part first - as it's cheaper and easy to get and mess around with it...

gyulasun: would this be the part?

At ~ $3.00 - bring it on!!  And I guess then a small resistor of (x? ohms) to drop output from 1.65 watts to .5 watts?  Or one that will output .5 watts?

And with a large enough capacitor,  I shouldn't have to worry about min. input available?

The information you guys provided is helpful for where to start - now to get my head around it!
(I didn't realize this aspect of the project would be so complicated!    But the only way to prove to the nay-sayers of OU is to take batteries/external supply out of the picture and self-run it! ) 

All suggestion/recommendations/ideas/help EXTREMELY welcome!

Good luck with that    ..... KneeDeep ...... A suggestion ; study the art of patience and dealing with frustration...

Cheers all

ROFL @ toad!


Its funny cause its true

Hello hoptoad!  Patience? That is - in fact - one of my short-comings    Frustration on the other hand - can actually turn to satisfaction once the obstacle has been overcome.

I've been working like 10 hours a day for the last 3 months on my project - 10 protypes built.
I am now ready to begin building my first "finished" model starting tommorrow - so yes - I am "anxious" to realize the fruits of my labors.  Testing and protypes calculate to a large OU.
Thanks for the past input you have provided - I'm always interested in insight from "the one who hops"

Hi Ren - loved your videos/builds ... how is it coming along?  Building anything at the moment?
Any knowledge you would like to impart to my (crowded) brain? 

... and I don't quite get the joke.... but I'm willing to laugh at my own expense   


The knowlege I have gained here has been invaluable in pursing my goal - thanks!

Capthook, I admire your patience and dedication, I wish you well in your quest. I have learnt a number of valuable lessons and insights over the past six months, and lets just say that I am no longer obsessing after overunity like I have in the past. I have realised that if one truely wants to see the endless possibilities of our world one must obsess over the truth. One must know everything about the nature of energy. After all, how can you master something that you dont fully understand? Lets just say I have a long road ahead, but I am looking forward to it.

I still continue to build, its one of my passions and I dont think that will change. I am also happy to offer any advice in regards to Bedinis work, as that is what I have mainly studied in the past. Im working on a 16 pole monopole with a fixed shaft for driving a timing wheel for pulsed discharge on the back end at the moment. I have plans for a window motor replication in the works, but who knows where my studies will take me. Keep an eye out, I'll keep putting up vids and stuff, and I'll always remember the friends and fellow experimenters I met in these threads.

All the best

Edit: Ditto to Toads post below! I know how you feel!
