Akula0083 Light No3 - Dual TL494

[Hoppy]

The waveform is attached and the current reading to show 0.00 but it is actually hovering around 10mA at 7.50volts.The voltage across leds/pwm circuit is nearly 11volts as obtain from the diode used for BEMF recovery.

Does this tell you why Akula took the trouble to post this device as a self-runner?

hi hoppy,

Good question indeed.If I put myself in Akula shoes and put this simple looking circuit for the world knowing that this will create some sort of amusement for him to translate and laugh at.

Maybe it's a Russian version of a sick joke as what many members have already got accustom to over the years.

I think for him the rest of the world eg:American and everyone else is stupid.
Maybe he didn't knew there are people out there in this world whom do reverse engineering like some form of Dark Art just for seer fun and etc.

But i can bet none before me knew that Akula was using the positive rail to transmit the spikes to cause the trigger.

Yes i am amused as well on how upon running 2 PWM generator on it's own with no relationship to each other at first.
The waveform just look ridiculous base on former understanding as everyone did until i discovered it just by seer luck or accident maybe."Luck"


That simple looking circuit must have fooled thousands especially those whom are very familiar with electronics or into designing circuit.

Ok i think i will not spoil the fun by revealing anything more since i have open a innocent looking pandora box for public.
I am already lacking time\energy to experiment after typing.It's late now...f.
-----------------------------------
But do look out for other variation of Akula circuit which the TL494 is present.......No time to take a quick glance yet.

Hi Magpwr,

Thanks for your reply and I agree with your conclusion. If he really has to continue this nonsense, I hope he ditches the silly little faked LED self-runners and returns to entertain us with some more sophisticated KW power fakes.

I don't watch Akula video's they are boring.. for real entertainment watch Gerard Morin's video's.
