i LOVE YA MAN!

whip the bucker up !

lol

ok

here is 1 more youll love it too!

: )

take that big ass cap i rave about ...  find bout 50 smaller ones ...   

and bounce em ! the big one is the battery cap ...  it holds 2500 uf at upto 400v so if i was to sifon off it via a few 400v 100uf caps or something like that ... 

: )

im takeing apart rf amps right now useing the power supplies for there caps .. 

i will charge the big cap from a cam unit it will also fill the bangers ... : ) 

i lost my aa wall charger ...  so i pulled out the boost cap to feed the cam units ......

: )   they work at 1v but not too well  probally 1.5 is just right

yikes now i could charge the boost in 30 seconds and it could run many cams for some time  each cam could have a battery cap ..  then as many bangers as you desire at whatever voltage you require..

@ist!

That rocks! Adding into the mix I think it could be used from the output of one coil hummm and then what?

If you are picking up some spikes while making adjustments but are finding it hard to lock it in you may have to add some sweeping or frequency modulation to your set up so that you are constantly sweeping past the sweet spot. Never thought that there may be an inversion point going on in EM.

Take care.

Brilliant simply Brilliant. Adding a simple sweep function gen with a 555 timer and adjust as close to the sweet spot as I can. That will work..

Thank you very much for the idea.

ill ask the clowns first...

then ill ask the real people that will answer .....

think there is a way to use a relay to fill a cap and discharge the same cap ..

i have some dubble pole single throw relays .. with  normally closed and normally open connections ..

when the relay is in the off posision .. i want it to charge the cap from the big bank cap .. when i turn on the relay i want it to dump the cap .. useing the other side of the relay and aswell as when i turn on the relay it will disconnect it from source ..  and when i turn it off it reconnects to be charged ..

then i will use my pwm circuit with the 555 and the fet controling the relays ... from a chaser i have laying round ..  or i could tune the pwm's

i managed to pull 10 power boards from the rf amps ..

i have been rocked

lol

lookie the pic ..

Well... I'm not sure if I'm a clown or one of the real people butt...

N.C. connection = Capacitor bank
N.O. connection = Load
Common = fill/discharge Cap.

You will only need one set of contacts. If you want, you could connect both sets of contacts together to help share the load since you are probably talking about some pretty high currents.

i think the clowns all left ....

i made a video to share   now i accept no responcibility for people being dumb... 
so if you get hurt useing work i release public it is your own fault ! 

be that knowen ..

mr mags glad your round ..  keep us from getting too wild ... : )

this is verry dangrous indeed ! 

but i have de soldered many 350vdc caps 270uf i plan on triggering the dump of thease and chargeing them from an aa .. useing the flash unit showen in my video .. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jpGj4wXUX4

sure i will need 2 ... 

1 charges 1 dumps .. and they are out of phase of 1 another ...   

notice how i run the loa standard electrical princibles .. in my video from an aa ..... 

as well the voltage climbes high fast to 308vdc  while burning the loa bulb .. and i also get the neon wobble ... 

look good and hard at the effect of the the neon this is not doctored in anyway this is my raw footage i shot a while ago ..  if i was to OPTO CUPPLE from the wobble neon and feed from the neon wich i can do with out effect to the cam board operation

by adding a diode or a bridge to the neon and a cap .. 

you then have a 300v dc feed wich you can feed back to the source some how .......   maybe recharge a aa then just flip batteries ...  it probally wont be a good idea to dirrectly close the loop via the neon ..  as you may end up blowing the transistor ...  im not sure ...  but a super cap would work great i bet .... lol

W

what if .....  i had 30 disposable cameras run off a boost cap ... and took 30 300v neon wobbles .. to the boost supply ...  and charged that big cap ...  think i could lite a few light bulbs ? ... 

i know it lites a 60 watt for few or 4  seconds ...  from just draining that big cap ...   now i do have lower volt caps more uf ... but they apear to be quire crappy for liteing bulbs ...  they drain extreamly fast .. 

clearly a voltage thing ..   and i have charged that big cap to over 300vdc .. easly .. from 1 single aa  and if i do not draw from the big cap the neon will wobble on the stored engery in that cap for a really long time maybe 20 min ...   then when it stops liteing in a few seconds pushing the charge button  it is good to go agin ...

: ) for another 20 min ... : )
