GK,

I wonder if shotky.type ..high speed diodes..would be essential here..

Just flew out the door and bought 16. All 3 collectors hooked in tonight. 1 - 3 frequencies. 

I am getting ready to go on vacation 8/8 through 8/22. I hope OU things get out of hand up to that point! Frenetic(http://www.bartleby.com/61/99/F0319900.html) progress sure beats doldrumn complacency.

Next test was Shottkys in bridge coupling. Signal shows sine waves at 3 levels. Those frequencies can be changed. My concern was to get the High speed Diodes in place. Match this signal against channel 'D' in previous post just above.
The Diodes are in the middle collector. The top and bottom collectors could be biased as Helmholtzs. That will be later. I want to see if a combination of diodes is the primary factor.
Now I am going to put a total 3 collectors in parallel with diodes coupling each segment. Again 1 freq.

GK4 all dioded up!

hello all have any of us found the right freqs yet?

the reason i ask is im playing with mixing freqs in a transformer backward 2 square waves and i have seen some verry intersting things tonight  lets just it goes off freq and quits just b4 that huge  and i mean huge waves

but it warms up it starts with a few kicks then grows huge and quits this is no fluke i have done this over 10 times but the kool thing is i can adjust the freqs so i get not as many kicks and it does not go off freq i can shoot a vid of it at a freq that it will start then go off in less than 30sec cuz that is all my cam will recoard just thought i would share also the setting on my scope are way low cuz it is way off the scope it is set at 2v /div

shooting vid

Imagine that! A countdown timer. And on me! OK. So I could go faster...
1st pic is all 3 collector layers in parallel but not electrically connected. The control coils signal.
2nd pic is the collector. Strictly 90 degree coupling.
3rd pic is the control coils output. The middle spike is usually of the predominant trigger height @ 120vpp.

+12v, 1.6 amps, 160farenheit.

Next test I will intertwine controllers to cause a 1 to 2 to 3 to 1 loop sequentially connecting all the controllers as 1 ring.

At this point I am focusing on connecting the Shottkys and controllers up in all the combinations using one 1 frequency that I could that was in the resonance window of an individual control coil.

Roberto is on vacation so I switched over to the GK4 from the ECD. When the cats' away the mice will play.

--giantkiller. Now I lay me down to sleep...
