whoa wait a minute, that 1.9 uH, not 1.9 H, i am way off, what's going on here? *thinking brb*
... it's 97 mH without the core, any ideas?
1.95 H and 130 uF will resonate at 10 Hz, could 10 Hz be the gate frequency, while 10,000 Hz is the pulse frequency? in the patent he says 0.5 Hz gate frequency for that vic which sounds like an extremely low gate freq
say my vic has 6 H (2 from each choke and the secondary) then the inductive reactance at 10,000 Hz is
XL = 2piFL = 2 x 3.141592653 x 10 kHz x 6 H
= 4E+05 ohms (to 1 significant digit)
=
376,991 ohms thats pretty huge, to restrict amps
http://www.daycounter.com/Calculators/Plate-Capacitor-Calculator.phtmlmeasured the cell without water, so just air, and it is 25 picoF
also, calculated with air, it is 25 picoF
calculated with dielectric constant of 80 gives 2100 picoF or 2 nF
to get a calculated 130 uF, it requires a dielectric constant of 5 million
so clearly there is a difference here some how
2 nF and 10kHz gives 126 mH for res
does anyone else have some measurements and calculations to compare?
assuming 2nF is in the right ballpark, and 2000 turns of 30 gage is in the right ballpark, and i get 97 mH without a core, and Stans core was tiny, then maybe my core provides too much increase in inductance, and with a smaller core i might be closer to the 126 mH value compared to 97 mH with air-core
so maybe, the numbers work, it's just knowing which numbers to work with
