RESONANCE EFFECTS FOR EVERYONE TO SHARE

[Thaelin]

Hi Luc:
   I have been playing in this arena a bit too lately. I have been reading on the effects
of power factor correction gone bad. That basically meaning what occurs when you
get it wrong by adding caps so it hits a harmonic res with a load. As this happens, you
will see over voltage/ over current on the main lines.
   So what would happen if you purposely load it to make that happen? We all now know
that when you hit res, the input current drops and the curculating current rises. So have
a coil and caps that hit res points 3,5,7 and a way to regulate it to a safe level. One coil
to loop back on its self, say the 7th harmonic and then tap off with the 3rd  and  5th for
your output.
   Grab a cup and sit back and scan through SM's musings and jot down all the references
that could relate to a tuned LC and it will shock you.

Well thats my nickles worth for the hour. See ya.

Hey gotoluc. I see as time goes on out of some 10 posts per day we dropped to 1 per month...

I just looked at your scope screen. I wonder. What if you would make it as a true LRC so you should achieve a voltage buildup 5x-10x (20x+ under ideal) at least of your initial voltage source if tuned properly and then try to drain that resonnant voltage buildup out with your secondary. I pretty sure you tought about this. Please someone tell me what do you think. All I have is Lawton PWM with square waves scope and mostly everything else you might need but still need sine wave gen.

Hi minde4000, thanks for your post. It may pick-up again but that depends on my results!...people are mostly interested in something that will give them something, so I try to post only the interesting stuff. My research is mostly experimental, I'm not much of a theory chatter .

Get yourself a used Signal Generator on eBay for like $30. and start testing.

Hi thaelin,

thanks for your post. I would be interested in reading a report of a power factor correction setup gone bad ... if you have a link please post it. I know a little about power factor correction and that some are in the business to offer this kind of service mostly to large commercial electrical consumers but never though it could start resonating ... man! that could be scary

I really like your idea to purposely create Resonance and tap only on certain harmonics... a great idea I must say

I was also thinking of creating a rotating resonating toroid and your idea should apply as well

Thanks for sharing

   When you stop to think of it, SM did say there was 3 coils all the way around.
That sounds like 3 phase to me. 3 phase 35k and working the harmonics in
on each one. One for self power, the other two for output. Hey, who knows what
would come of it.

Hey gotoluc. Check this interesting LC (I would think it might work as LC not sure about those diodes) pickup coil setup. Do you know the frequency of your secondary pickup coil standing waves the one that you aim for? You could tune your secondary as LC with those (I would use tunable) 2 caps. If it is LC..

   Hi Luc:
    Hey , have been really busy with the rally up comming here. Just realized I hadn't posted
the power factor file. See below.  Its a blast.!
