Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

Dear ariovaldo.

Many thanks for your reply and commiserations on the demise of your induction cooker!!

I have attached a closeup of the little "Thingy" which has a pair of wires that go back to a small plug and socket on the main board. I may be wrong about this being the pan sensor. I have "Googled" and drawn a blank.

Cheers Grum.

Hi Grumage,

This a long shot.It might be a reed switch maybe although it looked like a diode or zener diode can't be tested using multimeter unless you use maybe 10k resistor connect to diode in series with 30 or 50v dc power supply.My theory related to reed switch once the pan on coil the pan itself becomes the magnet hence it act like a permanent on for reed switch.Else without the pan maybe the coil is working on/off at interval basis(save some power)This is just my theory.Not confirmed.haha

Don't forget to try magnet on it as well after connecting to multimeter ohms setting.

Hi magpwr,

It was a long project and I posted numerous replies. The ones showing waveforms and build of my Dally replication are as follows: -

Hi hoppy,

Thanks for refferring me to those photos.

I am curious after which have you tried to resolve the issue eg through trial and error.
To simply put down the tools isnt the solution.

Oh yes, many, many hours spent on this project!

The attached photo kept nagging at me and eventually led me to put down tools. The same clever technique likely used by TK in the Aqua2 device. Unfortunately we may never know for sure.

Dear  Overschuss and magpwr.

Many thanks for your input. But I have drawn a blank. Not Diode, Thermistor or Reed switch!! But on closer examination I have found a little CT in the output to the drive coil. This is where the electronics determines that there is a load. Some sort of "foolery" is required!!

Cheers Grum.

Morning Grum,

Perhaps a Diac?
