ah, neworleans! I've read your posts on waterfuelcell.org, but I am not registered there, welcome
Yes, I agree with you on the VIC as a solid state version of the alternator, even if you look closely, you'll notice the VIC Coil has 14 coil sections, as does my delco remy alternator has 14 coils/loops per phase, and some other resemblances.
If you read his later newsletters, he mentions his microchip design to control the function of the system for use in the cars with the injectors, so even then he was developing with the state of the art in electronics, now if we grasp what we need, we can probably do it easier and cheaper... sounds easier than done I suppose
Have you gone through all of the patents? he has a patent on the control and driver circuits, as well as mentioned in the new zealand video, he uses a PLL resonant scanning circuit that sweeps from 0-10khz-0 and repeats until it finds a lock. I surely think without such a driver system we would have little luck at resonating the cell properly.
Steve, make a project section for MrBlueskywfc
