Hi All, and Dave,

The second sinewave generator, how is this being switched on and off, are you physically doing this with a switch?
If we were to set something up with many switches, would a 555 timer do with square pulse, which are the on off?
Sorry for the dumb questions.

Hey Dave,

Thanks, lol   I try not to sound dumb anyway, just my simple approach to all this.

I was just checking 555 timer cct that i posted on this forum, it looks like a very efficient dc to dc converter, using 555 timer as pulse generator.
I was just thinking this, if we instead of putting a signwave in , just used a pulse gen, and used several of them on one transformer, this may do the same thing with the kicks, I wont know until i try myself, and im sorry to ask questions, where no one has prob tried this yet. I figured since your ahead of the game with a built cct and all, if you would like to try this, Ive pasted again the 555 timer cct i was referring to, so I'm thinking the pulse may produce these kicks, since its a switching on and off, and if we had several 555timer doing it into same coil/transformer, it may be the holy grail we are looking for....lol

Hi Dave,

No I don't have anything setup yet, Ive been reading alot and thinking, and going back and reading again. I'm hooked with sm device, but havent really a clue where to start until now, After reading and going through this in my head and seeing your great results, I'm going to try it soon.
I'm probably not as good as most people on this forum when it comes to measuring, but I can do it, and it will take me some time.

The building cct part wont be an issue, but unfortunately I havent started this yet, I do have breadboards and 555 timers, but need to buy a couple of transformers, on that question, I'm actually in australia and its 240 volts rated here, so i would like to ask what type of transformer i should get?

hmm several dc to dc converters connected together, what i was thinking was linking several 555timers on the one transformer, I guess theres still some work ahead, only experimenting will tell. Curreently I want to finish torbays magnet motor, and have been putting my energy into it, this of course is my next project, so im trying to help by keeping it simple.

Hi Dave,

What do you mean you want to go into cupboard and cry? Is it because after the tests youve done , youve foundout that it really was false?
I'm trying to understand your meaning here, sorry as im not sure.

Cheers,

Hi Dave,

Don't despair, I don't know much myself about whats free and whats not, Im not even sure how you come to that conclusion, and theres my problem.

Maybe it is free but your not recognizing it, have you thought about that? Eexperimenting and observing is the way, and I reckon your doing just fine. People here talk alot and havent experimented enough. My way of thinking, is that we truly don't understand all that is out there, and should be building and experimenting, to learn. I'm learning by building, In the case though with sm device, he says its all to do with kicks, and as i see it, he mentions jumper leed and when you first apply a current in the wire theres a kick, so maybe im a fool in believing this, but what if we dwelve into this further, by doing what he says, and thats to build, get our hands dirty and learn and move on from this.

I like to think KISS, and then work it that way, and then evolve from there, Thats why i like that 555timer dc to dc converter, and to start off with I was going to build that, so i can learn.

Cheers, Champ
