Bob Boyce Hex Controller

[Frederic2k1]

Are there any other replicators on this board ?
The PDF made by Bob Boyce is really amazing und it fits exactly in the operation of Steven Mark's TPU.

It would be great if any others are trying to replicate this device. I will give it a try, but I can't get the same parts, as I'm not living in the united states.

@sterlinga,

I'm have designed a 3 channel switch. It is NOT an replica of the controller
that Bob Boyce did, but my version can switch fast enough for the short
pulses required. I will soon receive the same Iron powder core and silver
coated, Teflon insulated copper wire for the core. So my toroid core will be
a close replica of the core seen in the videos. My design is open source
and can be copied, shared or posted on the net.

The design files and software can be downloaded here:

Way to go and good luck!  I posted your message an images here: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Bob_Boyce_Hex_Controller#Replications

Ok, so moving ahead form my first dodgy test, which didn't even have phase shift between the channels, I've been reading and designing. From what I've come to believe, the phase shift is incredibly important, as is the at least 3 phase minimum, as the spinning of the magnetic fields seems to have an important effect. To this end I've whipped up a new pulse controller design. It'll be good for this and also to finally test an idea based on spinning fields I had over a year ago now and never got around to testing.

I'm using a luminary micro with an exceptional pwm subsystem, I've used it a couple of times already at work and they're amazing. Quite cheap too.

So the design is 3 Channel, pulse widths from ~100nS (ie maximum frequency ~5MHz). Should be able to have 120 degree phase shift between each channel even up to that frequency too.
80V fets, 16mR, 8A continuous, 50A pulsed.
USB connection for monitoring and control
16x2 LCD & pushbuttons for monitoring and control
Input voltage and current monitoring (will be rms naturally, form before the main bulk cap so should be accurate)
Voltage monitoring on switching nodes  (not sure how useful this will be due to the high switching speeds)

Hopefully I'll be able to build this and write the firmware in the not too distant future.

Andrew.
