Bob Boyce Hex Controller

[teslaalset]

Did you post any progress on a thread I can check out?

Ordered the toroid kit this morning and a few emails going back and forth from certain people, which I hope will help.

I have not zoomed in and studied the PCB for the controller but did see the nice big cap there in the middle.

Will be using a Pic Chip this end as usual and the pulse seems to be around 42khz with a pulse width of 2.5uS. Is this about the speed you used?

No, I didn't post results, since I only did initial experiments which didn 't have a positive outcome w.r.t. COP>1
I used 125 ns pulses with various frequencies.
My experiment were stalled because I am spending time now on SSOrbo in my scarce freetime.


There are two Yahoo groups that discusses the controller that you might find interesting:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/b-hex/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WorkingWatercar/?yguid=47756180
It takes some time to get onboard of these groups, since they are moderated and you need to be approaved as member.

Another thread that could be of interest is following:
http://www.waterfuelforall.com/forum/index.php?topic=423.0

None of them show successful replication though.

I am not absolutely negative about this technology, but it is more complex that simply replicating what can be found public.
Once I will seize my research on SSorbo I will pick up this topic again as well.

Thanks for the links.

Have had a few emails from people since I posted that I was going to give this a go, so looking good and hopefully a bit of help out there.

Good luck with the SS-Orbo that end, I spent weeks logging data on the scope with my rig. Reckon they might have something there, it is all the other BS I do not like. But will not go into that here LOL !

Cheers

Sean.

I am not part of SKDB, so probably I should not call my privat research SSOrbo because of that. I have my own insights by now, gathered by the findings of many others.

Sad to hear you did not like the process over-there. Time will learn whether it will produce the info we are all yearning for.

I'll monitor this thread, so where possible I will answer further questions, if there are any.

I guess we all are glad to see you back here at Overunity. Have fun!

Still waiting for the Toroid kit this end, seems to be a delay.

But this has given me chance to get the Interface finished, along with a easy to use windows GUI to program the pulse sequence.

Full build details as usual are here http://www.overunity.org.uk/showthread.php?t=496

Have attached a few pictures below.
