Eldarion and Bruce's build of Bob's Energy Converter

[Bob Boyce]

Coil is looking excellent, Bruce!

Are you going to precisely space the primary windings like you did to the secondary?  (Not sure if that's really neccessary, just thought I'd ask.)

It is neccessary, but the spacer diameters would be different due to the thinner wire.

Attached is a (blurry, sorry!) screenshot of the current controller, displaying fake data of course.   As you can see, I am planning to make the controller able to handle two cores at once for increased power output...I still have a lot of work to go...

Yea, I can't make it out on my tiny laptop screen.

I am almost ready to order the first batch of boards for my new HexController layout. It has 6 channels of output for driving primaries, and 2 channels of output for driving bias. I guess it could also be used to drive a pair of 3 primary units, but I think that might be pushing it a bit ;-)

sorry Bruce

  that is cw like mine was
  go back and look at the two cores i posted
  hope that  your secondary is not wound that way

waiting on the hex controller  files

@Bob,
On the primary, the input would be on the left, where the lead is on the bottom and then corkscrews CCW and ends on the right, which would be open ended.  The wire is wound CCW, from left to right and Corkscrews CCW from left to right. 

The only way one could see it as CW is if the input is on the right and I were winding the corkscrew clockwise from right to left. 

So, looking at it right to left it is CW, but I thought the timing and input had the field traveling CCW, which would be left to right??

EDIT:  I will take it down to the longitudinals if you say it is CW.  So, I guess I want to verify, that for the Secondary and the Primaries, we want to wind CCW winding from Right to Left? 

And then the far left lead on each primary is the open ended lead?

[Bob Boyce]

For a CCW rotation field core, drive end of an open ended coil is on the left, IF you are facing the toroid with the winding directly in front of you (not on the far side away from you). A CCW winding has the start lead of the coil (on the left) going away from you, over the top, down the inside, back towards you on the bottom, up the front, and over the top to the right of the starting point. Continue winding in that direction. The finish end lead of the winding will exit towards you from the beneath the bottom of the core to the right. Hope this helps.

As you energize the coil from the left, the potential shock wave quickly travels down the coil from left to right, pushing the ferroresonant field along inside the core in a CCW direction, imparting some spin to that field. The direction of that spin is directly related to the direction of wind. We want that spin to be CCW (looking towards direction of wave travel, not looking at the wave coming at you) impressed upon the CCW rotating field.

The bias winding(s) increase or decrease this spin by aiding or fighting. The field direction is down through the hole in the center, and up around the outside perimeter, once all of these individual little micro-fields come into alignment.

hi Bruce

it took me a little time for it to sink in

think of it like a lefthand treaded bolt

when you look  down the threaded end the threads goe ccw just like  on my picture of cores

thanks  just trying to help
