nice Ren! Now figure ressonance into the equation!

@All

This will take time. There are two DPDT relays, that makes 4 potential relay switches with twelve potential destinations per on/off. There are many many possible mixes with two relays, a transformer, two caps, a diode and a battery. Lots of potential mixes.

So I started by replicating the Tesla Ozone Patent #568177 by using only one pole of one relay. I used the relay coil as the patents motor coil and worked my way off both ends.

I put a circuit diagram below. Sorry if it looks elementary but I am not too good with circuits and EE.

When the button was pushed to on, the relay would rattle. My voltmeter was on each side of the secondary capacitor. The voltage went up to about 26 volts at about 1 volt per second, and then it still went up but in increments of .1 volts then .01 volts. I stopped it at 29 volts cause it made too much noise for this late hour so I'll try it again tomorrow and see just how high it will go. Don't forget this is a 240 to 24 volts AC transformer.

This is just the beginning. What a panic. I have to get the second relay to double my oscillations, maybe get more juice. With one relay, I think I can do reverse polarity switching so I'll try that also. Maybe brew me some AC.

   In your circuit, you place the primary as the primary and to obtain hv here, you would need to reverse the role of these windings. In on the 24v side and output on the 230v side.
   I did notice that you made the assumption that the caps are electrolytic, not sure that would be the case. Knowing somewhat how erfinder thinks, he would follow tesla and be nonpolar at least on the 47uf.
   As for the relays, I can only surmise that they will be used in a mechanical oscilator function. Just how escapes me at this time. More playing around will tell. One will oscilate and turn on the other to perform the shorting function of the charged cap to the "primary (24v side)".

   As erfinder stated, if given out right you will not value it as much as if you have to earn it the hard way. Consider some one who wins a lottery and how fast its gone compared to if you have to earn it by hard work.

To make a solenoid oscillate....

There will be several connection as follows:

Two connections to the electromagnetic coil, generally at least one reed lead, and two contacts which touch the reed. One is automatically connected in the relays off position, and the other is contacted when the relay is turned on.

Connect the relay so that the contact that is connected to the reed when off goes to one pole of the power source. Now connect the reed contact to one side of the electromagnet. Now connect the other contact on the electromagnet to the other side of the power source.

In this configuration, the power is turned on, since the electromagnet is connected to the reed, which starts out completing the circuit, the magnet will fire, pulling the reed away from its contact, breaking its connection turning it off, returning the reed to its contact to turn the magnet on again.


Careful with connecting multiples, as using more than one will give a more erratic frequency (you will notice that it is erratic to begin with). Once you have the voltage high enough on the secondary, good ol spark gaps work well as circuit controllers, but the voltage should be at least 3000 to give a breakdown of 1mm of air.
(edit: i did not see erfinders last post, forget the spark gaps till you have what you have down)

Also, recall that in these types of transformers the change in time of current produces your voltage, this means that you want the arc in the controller to extinguish as quick and establish as quick as possible. Tesla gave many clues on how this could be done.

also, notice that frequency of oscillation is somewhat dependant on the power through the coil, up to saturation, then no difference. Try different ways to give yourself a wider range of frequency choice, (hint, look at the spring)

Using these devices I have gotten freq ranges over 15,000, to 20,000, but they are simple good for learning as they are. I will post a circuit for a kick ass mechanical controller when I am back home. Remember speed is not absolutely necessary, harmonic relationships are, between what and what is up to you to find out! (its not hard)

This is a simple replication I threw together a while back with a home made "relay" or "linnear motor" the Flyback represents the primary and secondary in one package.

Here is a modified circuit controller I built (now disassembled) which was quite slick

the operation is the same as the relay, however there is another coil added that pulls in an opposite direction as the first. When contact is made one side of the reed, it is drawn away like in the relay, however upon being drawn away, it contacts another contact, and an opposing coil pulls it back into its origional position. With this, you cannot even hardly see the movement, incredibly fast. note, only one coil is used at a time.



This is the magnet setup without the reed,



This is with reed in place with no contacts shown



here one can see the minute spacing between the magnets and the reed.
