ok so now im to the point where i need to create my driver for the primary...
i couldnt wait and had to hook it to my tube to see the output.. i had my rotor primary where i could hold it connected to a 12v battery.. nothin special.. the alternator bogs down when i hold it connected seems like it bogs down slower then a non regulated standard alternator..
i know i need to acheive a unipolar pulse wave and it will be from 60 hz ac
variable transformer
i have a variable 120-132v powerstat that is 297va that can handle 2.25 amps..
i bought it tranformer alone not having a box with a socket and switch.. so i need to wire it my self..
question.. do i need to connect a resistor in parallel with the source with a light to the variables soure input?
i had the source wired as said on the transfomer and i have my output leads hooked to a bridged rectifier with.. as i turn it up and check the wires they are getting hot quick,
