Steven Marks Tube Power Supply

[otto]

Hello all,

@Roberto

I deeply respect your work and knowledge but Im not satisfied anymore to work with Amperes from the power supply to get the coils work.

The ECD worked with 12V/3A or so, to light a bulb.
I made coils that could light a bulb with 24/1A from the power supply.
A time ago I could light a bulb with 300V/0,4A from the power supply.

OK, thats all logic.

Now I want to light a bulb with 10kV or 20kV. Yes, its possible of course.

I also know that we can have a "race" in our coils with any voltage because I had it once. With "race" I mean a runaway. I did it with 12V.

Of course I have now nice and clear signals but I dont care because tubes are...hmmm....totally different.

@Grumpy

a lot of really clever inventors used tubes. Diodes are my favorits or triodes without the gate or without the heating or,or....a lot of combinations.

All interesting but...there is an already proven solution:  just make use of my TPU 10.7: It does exactly what you are searching as offered by dfro time agò.

Roberto's tpu 10.7 is very close to the correct design.

Well, I think that it is the right time where we have not to change our mind too often. It is my own matured opinion that the 10.7 has been very, very near to one of the many possible solutions. The issue with it, like correctly explicited by my personal friend Otto, has been only with it's current angry design... as it had really shown many of the effects we all have been searching for. NOW THIS IS TO BE CONSIDERED OVER  ...thanks to the combined effort of several smart techies working for similar design. This means that soon, just after completion of some interesting work I am doing with another project, I think I will open here a thread where to show the TPU V. 10.7 progress and soliciting your duplication & help.

Big CIAO to all

hence the use of the "gatekeeper" circuit with saturable reactors

@Grumpy,
Do you have a link to that circuit?

@ronotte

Did you form an idea of why the 10.7 wanted to run at 22kHz?
