N.R.M.R.E. An investigation.

Good morning all.

I've just read that Chet has suffered a re occurrence of his recent problem, I would openly like to wish him well and a speedy recovery. Get well soon Chet.

What's the consensus? A quick zip around with the vacuum? Tidy the thread, so to speak?

That's all for now folks.

Cheers Graham.

Bloody hell Chet take care. Grum please keep be strict. Delete this too.

Some answers to TK

How did you connect your transformer primary and secondary? I am still unsure about that.

If you want to HV, the primary on collector of the transistor and on the positive;  on the secondary you have HV

Did your diode bridge on the HV end still work normally when removed from this circuit and tested within its normal operation range?

I used a diodes bridge made of 1N4007 and another of SF28 (fast diodes 2a 600 volts); diodes continue to operate normally

Do you think the main purpose of this circuit is to generate HV, or is the charger side the main purpose?

I think this circuit is a HV generator (or radiant energy generator, whatever that means) and that the charger side is a side effect

I read that you tried self-looping from both outputs. Did you try battery charging instead of cap charging, and then running the circuit from the battery while charging another one?

I tried to charge a battery on the LV output and another battery on the output of the step down transformer, in turn connected to the HV output: the batteries charging but more slowly than if they have a power supply (another battery)  that feeds everything

Do you have any scopeshots you could share?

I'm working on it. Something you can find in my previous videos

On the bench now.

Thanks Icarus.

Just one more:

If you want to HV, the primary on collector of the transistor and on the positive;  on the secondary you have HV

Let's be very specific here: By "primary" do you mean the 24v side, and "secondary" the 240 volt side of the transformer?



I'm used to thinking about transformer windings as Primary = the driven or input side of the transformer, and Secondary = the output side of the transformer, so using my "definition" whichever side of the transformer is connected to the collector and positive rail is the "primary".

Yes
Primary 24 v
Secondary 240 v

Remove a message of goodwill??

Not B****y likely mate.....
