Sorry about this.  I posted on the wrong thread. 

Regards,
Rosemary.

btw Mark.  I'm with your daughter on this.  Also enjoyed those penguins.  LOL

Hi Rosemary,
I just want to know you and people like Bill are really appreciated by many people I know who read your threads even if they do not post
I can only encourage you to continue and your work has prompted many other researchers to look at your ideas and I know have many discussions world wide. These are not backseat forum jockeys but in many cases (not mine) highly qualified people. So if nothing else you are like a muse that have promted many others to look at the way we view things.
PS Bill...still a fan.
Just hope this in some way can be accepted by you by the many (yes there are many) as an expression of our appreciation.
Having managed a few divisions of a University many years ago I know how ego's and prejudice can dampen true free thought and inovation. Keep up the good work
I also have a very healthy respect for TK, he can be a pain in the butt he is part of the equation. People like him do good work in keeping us all on our toes

Hello Mark,

So much appreciate your thoughts here, deserved or otherwise.  Truth is that it's a first.  And very nice if I'm 'stirring the pot' so to speak.  The more so as one really just keeps posting with fingers crossed that any of what is written here is ever read.  And it's not a happy place to be - generally confronting those acknowledged science experts.  The really good thing is that we're now, very safe.  We're on a campus where our academics are actually looking at experimental evidence rather than leaning ever more heavily on scientific assumption.  The hope is that they, in turn, don't get bitten by that popular opinion which seems to determine scientific principle - of late.

Thanks Mark - again, very much indeed.  You've made my year.  I'm going to download your post and frame it.   

Kindest regards,
Rosie

Guys, just a quick update on the tests.  We're still struggling with the 555 switch.  The guys are trying to get something that reliably alters frequency and duty cycle.  It seems that Glen's switch doesn't do a good job of this.  This is possibly why Glen could not get the same level of efficiency that we managed on our devices.  Either that or there's a fault in the presentation of that diagram.   I believe they're trying a new configuration using an SG35.24.  We're also going to get a functions generator in to compare the results.

Also, as mentioned we're getting a really zut scopemeter.  But I'll photograph all when this is to hand.  So, bottom line - there's a few more delays.  But you'll see that these problems are important to resolve before we can actually forge ahead.

Kindest regards,
Rosemary

BTW the students built two switches to see if there was some inherent problem with the first build - either in the components or the board itself.  All in the interests of accuracy.  Certainly none apparent.  So clearly the problem is in that schematic that Glen published.  I find it curious that every single schematic of that switch has also been plagued with some inherent error.  One hopes it was not intended.  And, when we find the problem - if such there is - then we'll post it here.  In any event the new schematic will also be shown - if it works better.

Rose,

The 555 is a timer or oscillator. The switch is the MOSFET or IGBT.

If what you are describing about the "altering frequency and duty cycle" is in fact the quasi-stable state the 555 can go into under the right operating conditions, and you are not able to achieve this, then I would suggest that your group try a number of different manufacturers of the 555 itself. I found the variations were quite evident, and for me, only one type produced the desired quasi-stable state.

One other factor possibly influencing this "effect" is the proximity between the 555 and the switch. Yet another, is the switch itself. Are you using the IRFPG50? If not, that might be a place to start.
