well.. gadget
you should move a bit closer west in nc.   i am so glad i didn't get the second batch of snow..
we got 15'' snow last time and i still have ice sheets in my parking lot.. i been working 8-10 hours a day outside  in this 10-23 degree wind all week.. ..
plus if you move closer west we might be able to work together on a few things.. hahaha

you know i agree with you .. Mabey  maggie valley is far enuff Raleigh Greensboro Charolttet  , forget them . I want some where the schools are nice and uncrouded  .. Yea they always get snow over there west of Raleigh  . the only thing we got going is Atlantic beach . I could do with just a big lake . we are too close to the Atlantic . Somehow i just know your were from around here:


ISt i won't give you a leg to stand on son . You have nothing to do with Groundloops boards  and  to claim them as your work when you cant even draw a schematic . well . You just show your colors . CLEAR

Hi Bill,
I am looking forward to your light stick. It should work as the other one. the primary is a little different from what you did. It is 2T,6T,330T.

what does this mean?

Jim, Electricme, gave me an idea about winding the primary with 3 strands of 22 ga. wire twisted together and soldered on the ends.  (and wound like it was one wire) It may help, it may not...we will see.

Why would you use something that would let the amps pour into the circuit?
It will be very interesting to do a time drain test on this too!
Do you have any rechargeable AAA? They take less time for this kind of test.

@gadget,

I thought about what one of the members asked if the light on My secondary was lit when i charged the cap from the rectified ce junction . I said yes it was lit but i forgot that all my caps are setting at 0.500 volts . so when i put it on the ce junction ,yes the secondary leds light but if its lower than that no they dont light until it reaches .5 to .521

So, in a way the secondary led is a kind of visual gauge for the charge in the bcap?

In jan, 1994, I think it was, there was 18 inches of snow every thursday night in Boston. This went on for 6 or 7 weeks with one break.
School was out every friday for all these weeks, then, as this went along, there was no room to put the snow, and the solution was to scoop it up with a backhoe and dump it into a dump truck which drove to the boston harbor and toss it into the water... not tea this time, just snow.

I made an avramenko plug tonight I think and it subtracted hugely from the output.
I do not know what to think.
Maybe I need more diodes?
I have 400-535 volts on this one, and I could try to use a bridge plus 2 diodes first, but this was a big disappointment.
Does anybody know about this?

thank you,

jeanna

IST:

You had many fair warnings.  Any more posts like the one I just removed will be removed also.

Thank you.
