@Koen,
What is a light chaser? If you click on the TinyWeenyVideo under the postage stamp icon, then it should popup.

I want to incorporate the "principle" of the LED chaser, to charge up 8 CAPs, in turn, then use the 9th LED "HI" or (+) to fire all Mosfets at once, so all 8 caps dump their current together into a load.
I am not going to stick my finger in it to find out if it works, I'll bridge the output with a 5amp fuse instead.
The circuit will take a fair bit of work to figure out, but not too difficult, but any maths, you can do ha ha, I'm dum at maths.

If it gives an indication of working, then I could double up the output by adding 8 more Caps, or altering the time each cap is filled before the next cap is filled.
If  it takes 1/100th of a second to fill a 4.5uf 16v cap, it should take 1/10th a sec to fill all 8, so every sec it should dump 10 times into whatever load it sees.
is this right? too tired to care right now.
hooroo all
c U all tomorra some time

@Wilby

Yeah, me too, Koen got me all beat when it comes to maths he he.

i'm still trying to figure out if koen is suggesting the electron is a discrete particle...

Now is it a particle of light? a photon perhapse?

Hi All,

Here is good link on oscilloscope usage for those wishing to get more knowledge on the 'How to's:

@all

I found the work on the @mk1 I was doing before my computer got broken.
Looking at the diagrams and with the new posts I have read, I got to the conclusion that the pick up coils winding is not the way I depicted on my graphics.

I will try to explain graphically the winding direction of the first two pick up coils now named J And K, when I get the time and the inspiration to do it.

@mk1 have explained it very well since the begining. We need just a little graphic details to clarify the exact winding directions he used.

@pirate

Nice video and nice idea.

@electricme (general)

That idea of yours to get power looks good to me.

Thank you to all the people.
