Hey Ali, try this one out. only half the feedback coil was being used.


why did you add the cap?

what was the reason for the am wave ?

on the real VIC coil, do we need the 5 volts center tap or even the 5 volts at all?

The cap is in VIC circuit, its there to block the straight lying 5v DC and to allow the pulsed DC to past so that it doesn't short out. The reason I also added the AM signal is because at resonance that's the wave you should get.

Yes I have this file in Multisim 10 also, here it is below.

Here are some prototype pics of the 5 coil VIC bobbins that I had made today. I used AutoCAD to draw them up and then transferred the drawing to a 3D printer which made them out of ABS Plastic. It took about 8 hours for these to be made.

Looks really cool! Doesn't matter to me how long it takes to make the bobbins, it took me 3 days to glue mine, nice ones.

Would you share that CAD file here on the forum?

What core material did you use in those bobbins?

Thanks guys, they did turn out really nice. The cores are made of powder iron. Here are the measurements of the bobbins.

I've almost go the VIC Circuit together and ready for testing. Here's a pic of the PLL, Scanning, Pulse Indicator and Gated Pulse Generator circuits.
