Stanley Meyer replication with low input power

[Visual Echo]

what type of soldering point do you use?

I use an "Aoyue 2702 SMD Professional Repair & Rework Station".  I had to get serious about some surface mount work a couple of years ago, and that station has been a terrific investment.  It is pretty cheap for how well it works.  If you actually want to start working with surface mount, plan on buying an observation microscope.

http://www.thehydrogenshop.com (referenced above) looks pretty good.  As far as I can tell, it's still just one-way PWM, no PLL closed-loop feedback is involved.  The microprocessor version is cute.  He's open about the design, that's great!

I have some pretty lofty plans if this works, like completely overbuilding the control unit.  PIC chips and ASCII LCD screens are one way, but you can get a lot more control and real estate using a microcontroller with wifi and a web server.  Here is a pic of my last project: ( http://www.darkhq.com/bb/files/pimp-a-sketch-linux.jpg ) which might become the control computer for this one (see http://www.gumstix.com/ ).  Meanwhile, I don't even have a cell working yet, much less a working PLL circuit.  Money talks and BS walks, so back to my workbench I go!

Guys , we are now re drawing the VIC and putting in about the inductors, we have re drawn the schemo's and added in new and updated info.

Yes, Rod from down under is also helping us make Ravi's cell, this will be under open hours and used to support Ravi's research and other open source engineers under the Org's help.

wont be long prob 2-3 days till new doc is up.

Here ya go guys, Ravi has advised us what to re draw for the Meyers VIC.

Ravzz' full VIC

WE will test this when our new cell is ready

This is our [old] cell and Freq gen too. These will be going in the
new write up, we have a guy working with us and Ravi to get this OPEN
source replication done.

Beautiful!  And answers my question, thank you!!

Ash,

Thanks for the schematic.
Some comments:
1. Even though it won't make much difference, R2 should probably be the same as R1 (100 ohms), minimizes on different resistor values.
2. Picture shows that rotary range switches are being used, i.e., S5, S6, S7 is just 1 rotary switch, so C8, C9, and C10 should probably be different values.

In my test, Q1 drain has random spikes of over 100 volts, so would be a good idea to add a capacitor between 13.8 VDC and ground if circuit is installed in a car to avoid interference with car electronics.

Impressive.
