Thane Heins BI-TOROID TRANSFORMER

[niofox]

Ah thanks for clearing something up for me ramset
I read all the posts up to this point, but I may have skipped over the details that would have shown me these are actually different setups

However, I have only the toroids from computer power supplies on hand, so I am especially interested in giving that small setup a try

Unless someone can suggest common equipment that I can salvage to get those fancy cores made, I will not be able to attempt anything like that till after december

The scrap yard!
If Thane feels that we could make a chassis this way,
It would be a game changer for the experimenters here!

The only reason I ask is ,He made reference to a design broli [posted above]and teslaalset were doing and suggested they do it in two pieces ,for ease of Winding purposes,and then Tack weld it together.

I just want to know would Tacking the whole thing together [from square stock]
Be feasible ?or a total waste of time?
Its definately doable .

Hi all,

Thanks for that Tyson,

I think it is wonderful that you have provided a test setup to be able to replicate Thane's effect.

I asked the guys about a core a few pages back but this was the core from an ac to dc 240 to
9 v power pack that had the primary open circuit, so I cut away the windings.

Once again, thanks to Thane for sharing his concept.

Kind Regards, Penno

Hi to the potential replicators

After having tried a lot of versions with the small toroid, i am very estonished by the results,

Yes Tyson (skywatcher), try to separate your secondaries , so one has the load and the other is shorted, for my setup there is a big difference.

As my test with (personal) amplificator do not give a nice sine wave, i decided to go directly with my big variac, Not very fine at all for so a small setup.

Ok and last for tonight, i have imagined to build a BITT with isolated fence wire . So it could be very easy and cheap to do and in different size. I have enclosed a crude setup for this idea.

What do you think ?

Good night at all

Hi folks, Hi penno64, your welcome, though I don't know for sure if this is replicating thanes effect. Sure seems unconventional though.
Hi, woopy, yes i did that.

Yes Tyson (skywatcher), try to separate your secondaries , so one has the load and the other is shorted, for my setup there is a big difference.

Though it doubled the leds brightness by placing the other secondary in parallel with first, coil has to be connected right way.
What results are you seeing woopy, you said astonishing results. Are you seeing this same reduction in amps with increasing energetic output from secondaries?
Here's a pic of my setup. Little messy with tape to keep windings secure.
