Tommey Reed's Back EMF Circuit

[TommeyLReed]

Hi All,

This is my Bach EMF circuit to collect the fly back effect do to load.

Thanks for posting this..  I have been working on an almost identical circuit..  Sometimes I drive a motor with it, sometimes solid-state.. But I have been flipping polarities with an H-bridge and using a choke,  or primary of a transformer with open secondary..

I sent you a PM..

After building this and looking closely, it is not identical to my build- actually is totally different.

I do not believe this is "Back-EMF" you are collecting.  I am pretty sure you are collecting Fly-back.  Or inductive kick-back from disconnecting and collapsing the magnetic field.  You are only collecting from the negative side, where the flyback escapes.

Back-EMF would be coming out of the hot lead back to the battery, limiting your input amperage. But the diodes are blocking the Back-EMF.

It differs from my build, as I am only separating off the hot side.  And I get no varying voltage spikes.  All my collection pulses are exactly uniform and my voltages stay steady.

I still thank you for posting it.  Looks identical to a typical diode flyback arrestor they use on motors, but with a cap to catch it.  Which could be useful.
