Testing the TK Tar Baby

[TinselKoala]

@PW: Thanks for that analysis. I don't see anything that looks fried in the attenuator but I'll check it more carefully before I run it with the new transistors. I like the idea of the diode protection but I think I'd like to look at a real schematic before I put them in, just to make sure I get them in the proper location.
It's only a 3MHz generator; it's not like it has to make a perfect square pulse at 100MHz or anything. A little added distortion isn't going to hurt me; I mostly use it under 1 MHz, especially at high output levels.

Thank you, that's good advice. I use LiPos a lot for my RC aircraft and other portable projects. If anything will make them explode, it will be this circuit !

NiCads are not as much fun. What about NiMH? But I have more LiPos than anything else. Of course, when they don't work, then that will just mean that LiPos don't work. Then when the NiCads don't work.... well, you know. It will turn out that only RayLite Silver Calcium LA batteries manufactured in the Southern Hemisphere will work. Or will they?

You do realise that you are RA's hero experimenter, don't you? I hope that you are having all the fun you can handle.

TK,

>>You do realise that you are RA's hero experimenter, don't you? I hope that you are having all the fun you can handle.

English is not my first language, so I do not "detect" sarcasm easily, if that was the purpose of the above?

That said, RA knows that I always report the circuit measurements as a find them. I do not add or substract
anything. She also said: "He is reasonably satisfied that there is no gain." and that is my view also. I have so
far found no COP>1 in ANY circuit tested the last 10 years, and that includes the RA circuits.

Sarcasm? No, more like irony, considering all the history.

I find it rather amusing that she considers you the genius experimenter and that she dismisses my work totally--- even after realising for herself that your "minimal circuit" won't oscillate without making it back into the original Altoid circuit that .99 designed...

And of course it is MY modification of that circuit, built into Altoid, that makes the "FULL negative voltage values" that she is so excited about.

It's funny to see her talking about "intellectual honesty" in the same post where she misrepresents your work, my work, .99's work, and all the rest.

She also accuses me, here in this thread, of hiding or covering up data. What a liar she is.  Go ahead, anybody, point to a single data set that I have withheld or hidden. 
This is absurd, when she herself is carrying on email conversations and other "back-channel" communications with various people, not sharing those experimental results or conversations, and especially after her series of "mistakes" with the circuit diagrams and the admitted omission of data from her own work.

PW, et al,

The manufacturer of the battery will recommend a C rating from which a performance curve can be generated on paper. A suitable load will then allow an experimental comparison to be made generating a theoretical and experimental performance curve, and assessing battery(s) initial  condition.

Substituting appropriate loads and adjusting time component accordingly to comply with C ratings will allow multiple experimental load profiles to be generated. Superimpose all curves onto same graph.

Common denominator for calibration is a fixed amount of energy depleted from the battery, creating a constant, measured at load over time. Adjust time component to comply with C rating profiles to achieve  constant in each case.

Now run NERD or replication, which with a known energy drain can be adjusted by time component to comply with C rating profiles. Superimpose onto graph, related performance via a constant is now possible for all load profiles.

Once a known constant amount of energy has been burnt off in the load, commence dim bulb testing via timed low voltage shut off control for all C rating profiles (including NERD, which has been converted in to a C rating profile via it's known measurable constant, amp draw, and it's user defined variable, time).

Workable or not ?

It seems that this thread is going nowhere.  For want of both readers and contributors.  And TK is not likely to do those definitive battery tests as he dare not.  I knew this.  All that bombast and nonsense.  And not 1 test result EVER - related to battery performance.  If he's financially rewarded for his efforts - then here's the thing.  He should be PENALISED not PAID.  He's zealous excess resulted in us creating our own forum.  And now we're out of reach.  LOL.

In any event I should have my 'protocols' defined by day end.  That's the target.  And here's the link to our forum
