That 36 coil looks good!
Those bobins are very useful.

@all

I need to get the information on how to use a motor as switch.
I had it, but I lost it.
Also there was a post of a guy charging four batteries using the motor as a switch on this topic.
I have searched up and down and have not been able to find it.

Does anybody has the instructions on how to convert a small motor to a switching device?

I know that it was by cutting some wires on the rotor, but I forgot the process.

Can anybody help?

I have never heard  of a motor  being made into a switching  device .

I do remember  a  small motor being made into a pulsing device .

It  make  a small motor  into a pulsing  device just  open it up and cut one  wire  going to the  commutator 
It  should  still  run  but  should  put out  pulses ,


There is  a video  out there somewhere about this .... can't remember who did  it or what it was called .

I  just thought  I  would  report  my last 4 days  progress .

Nothing'

Nothing.

Burnt  up some parts .

Nothing.




are you impressed?

I have  given up on trying to make  my monitor  transformer   JT  self charge .
It looks to me that  there is no subsitiute  for  a bunch  of inductors .
The trick seems to be to  use  small enough   inductors  to not  choke  the circuit ..... 
A  major rule  as always seems to be ......don't get greedy .
trying to  do it  with  to few inductors  seems to cause  failure .
Trying to  do it  with to large  of inductors  seems to cause  failure.

I am thinking  the ideal setup might  be a string of inductors   with a cap between  each inductor . ...  if the cap was  the right size  ( and the inductors are all the same size ) the whole thing  should  resonate as one unit .




My monitor  transformer  was one of the  things that  got  smoked.
I have  opened it up .    I now have  a plastic core ( with pins )  that  I can rewind  .........and  the  ferrite   core .
I  am not sure why it  did  not work .........  the readings  seemed  OK .......no  shorted  coils  as far as I could see .
I have only got to the  first layer  of  windings so far .
The  winding  I  had been using  for my  base only has 6 windings .....they are spaced about 1/8 inch  apart .

814 

more pics as i finish it i will try this for the center

ist!

ps ....   ITS MORE A ARC REACTOR THAN IT IS A JT ...  LOL 

IST! 814 ARC REACTOR RING ...  USEING 814 TOROIDE COIL

BTW IT MIGHT NEED A FAN  .. OR SOME COLD FUSION WATER COOLING ..... 

think i can have some change now .... ?

Your toroids look like the ones The Shack(formerly Radio Shack) sells.  They sell two sizes of toroid RF chokes; 5-6 Amp and 30-35 Amp.  They appear alike on the outside, so it's obvious the use a machine to wind them.  I was thinking of taping two opposite each other with the leads at 180 deg. from each other.  Then, of course, they'd be 1:1 toroid transformers.

I have been trying to replicate some of my recent stuff with decent success...not as good but close enough.  Here are some picks of 16pickup turns but I'm only using 8 and I'm lighting NEON and 2 LEDS.  This system feed back into itself. 

Jeanna I need help from you...this system uses both ac and dc but I need your attention to detail to help.  I'm already back feeding some half of this back into the system with almost or much or more back out so...potential,,SHould this be nextdoor?  I'm not sure because I use DC too.

@resonanceman

I am on the same boat. My transformer got brooken, I lost my solder iron and my power supply got shorted on an experiment today.

I am way behind now.
This hobby of mine is getting too expensive.

@ist
That you are making seems something from the science fiction movies.

@stprue
I wish you good luck on your experiments.

Same for the other members.
