5 Watts in 60 Watts out ...

At 2000k (mine only has 200k, then 2M, then 20M), but that should make your reading of 66 imply 66K ohms resistance.  With the 135 volts measured across it, that yields 2mA of current, and 27.6mW of power.

Sounds like the 100 ohm resistor was just too much to run as well.

(is your resistor color coded?)

Ye it's colour coded, i have a chart somewhere.

Today it wouldn't even start with the cap across it but it would start without the cap then keep going with the cap attache once it was running !

I hate when the same system behaves inconsistently ...

Thanks void.

OK i've done a proper load test.

My input resistance is 18 volts / 0.28 amps = 64 Ohms.

I put the nearest i had, 66 Ohms, across the rectifier output.

Results :

OUTPUT VOLTAGE : 138 Volts DC

OUTPUT CURRENT : 0.3994845360824742 (Calculated).

OUTPUT POWER : 55 Watts.

I remember mscoffman talking about the AC impedance of the output coil having an effect on this so i will now try to get the thing to self-run.

Looking good though ...


Gary.

Is this RMS readings, or just peak readings?

Hi Vidar, i made mistakes, as usual !

I've finally done it properly and my output is :

200 VAC @ 0.003 Amps = 0.6 Watts ...

LOL @ me !

You should check out Tom's thread, he is far more advanced in this and looks to be doing well :
