see

i can not begin to explain this ....

all i can say is... it is magic ...

i just went through this with gadget .. and now  your up sooner than i realized lol

please build this if you have the materials handy .. as you have  got a wonderfull idea there .. 

there more to the yokes as jeanna knows ... with her hour glass configuration ..

i bet they make great cone style units ...  too!  probally just use them wound as they are in your design..  slick 




no wonder kooler has add ... i hope i dont develop my case worse than it is ... lol 

anyone could build what you just explained gary! this is awesome and super cheep ..

thank you !

OK
I will try a JT  using  a yoke as the core.

a couple  of questions  because it sounds like you have used a  core like this before .

You said use heavy wire for the secondary ....... any suggstions on how heavy ?

Any  suggestions on the number of  wraps for  the windings ?

It may  take a little while to get the heavier wire .

for your design i dont think you need to do a lot .. just use the cores as you said ..

as for rewinding if you go this rute.. 

i would use thick wire a primary  like 14ga solid or something this ring will not get hot so it can ripp damm fast .. a spark gap would drive this really nicely ... but through a diode after the gap b4 the coil so your fly back flys out the seconday ..

to the heater of choise ..

now secondary should match primary by mass 1 times 2 3 4 times .. expairmentation  will be required .. if you hit any number i mentioned of the mass of the primary .. it should be intresting ..

but first i would reccomend you find what makes your core ringgg or singgg

IST  thanks

I will  start looking for  some  wire

Sorry .........but I don't  do spark  gaps .
This  does  present  a chance to  test  a few theorys I have came up with lately
It is also  a reason to  try a different  approach  that I have been thinking of  trying for a while

I might  be able to test 1 or 2 of them tonight

sounds like it is now your baby ...


make her sing bro!

i know it will work ... but you know me ..   

i keep jumping around i really want to tackle the invertor unit ..

i know you have the skills to make this one what it is suspoto be .. 

its all yours my friend .. !

william

please post  your results when im able i will duplicate it .. and confirm ..

i think just stacking 3 cores and winding a basic jt .. may surprize you
