Lords of the Ring

[Mannix]

GK,
Great that you started this thread!

Just a quick one to all who want to do the ring thing

Please

Do exactly as gk has done........do not change a thing.
do not add "improvments"...a few timers and a few commomly available transistors.

All this stuff is around most places!

It may take 5 hours max...get it right.

This may not be a working generator but a discovery tool...and a beauty at that!

Even though I say copper.collectors...that may be later.

GK, you might have to do some complete drawings ..again..including timer circuits.. and rebuild another from them so that everybody can get on the exact same page. Gk, thanks for your patience...perhaps you deserve a rest anyway.

Give me a freakin' break.

Hi GK,

You said 12v, 3amps input, in a few ohms, thats gonna make some heat.  How do you know its not OU yet, what is your power out measurements?

Do the 2 x 10 ohm resistors get hot, as hot as, or hotter than the TPU itself?


Thanks,

Dave.

GK,

Gonna wind a new TPU as per yours and Ottos instructions next week.  Would you be kind enough just to re-confirm the the below details?


Garden wire is standard size and there are 6" leads coming out of the collectors.

My 555s are @ 5v the tip41a-s are @ 12v. Bias ohms are 100.

Again:

Coil diam is 6"

3 layers of:

Collector coil is garden wire, 22 turns.

Control coils are 4 segments of 30 gauge magnet wire, 200 turns on each collector.

The feedback coil is 16 gauge speaker wire (single run) wrapped around all layers in 4 segments of 17 turns.

Then interconnect the whole system by Ottos diagram.

I power the 555s @ 5v and the tip41a-s @ 12v.

Freq range is 200hz for all 3 555s.

My new power supply is 12v @ 8.25a


Regards,

Dave.

Dear all,

Further to Ottos and GKs tests, Otto has asked me to post this diagram for everyone to try.  For some reason he has problems posting images here.

I am not sure what it is to do yet, he says it will be a surprise!  So I am hoping its a proof of concept!

"Hello Dave,

I hope you and a few people with scopes will make the little test.

Make just a little coil.

Wind over your 2 fingers 50 turns of thin wire. Diameter is NOT important. Then connect one end to +12-13V. The other end to your MOSFET to pulse this coil.
Through this coil put a wire and connect it to the end of your coil where you pulse it. Now you have 1 end open. This end of the wire connect to a light bulb and the other end of the light bulb connect to minus.

Waiting for your results!!

Otto"
