Nice hearing from you Webmug,
I'm now doing some calculations and trying to determine the parameters.
http://ludens.cl/Electron/Magnet.htmlIn this patent Meyer clearly have TX5 resonating with the container therefore i'm going to use reverse engineering to calculate.
For example for calculating oriented grain core to work at 5khz having a cross section of 0,0006m2 and limiting the saturation to 1,5T you would need 0,1 turn per volt. So if you have 200 volts max in the primary 20 turns is pretty much what you need for the primary probably having a tap every 5 turns would be good. The secondary in the patent meyer says that should be designed to have 2000volts thus 200 turns is good for that.
From what i'm thinking the resonant charging chokes, at least tx5 must be made with thicker wire such as the primary 24awg cause it will resonate and therefore there will be a recirculating current in it. In other patent Stan says 100 turns for the chokes, and i think is ok cause when resonance happens its voltage can get over 10kv and thus restrict the amps even being of lower number of turns than the secondary. This could be right if we are not interest in keeping the 5hkz as working frequency. This could be wrong. I'm thinking that Tx5 should have the right inductance to resonate with the cell, here my cell (container) have 330pf thus for 5khz this give me 3H. If so calculation should be made backwards.
I'm going to make some coils here rapidly so i can do some preliminary tests. I will use the (I) side only of the (EI) core as the core, cause i think the all core is too much. I can't wait to see this working!
I'm thinking that when the TX5 positive (b-) voltage is greater than the B+ voltage the amps will be restricted cause the diode wont allow the current to flow in the opposite direction. Therefore restricting the current. Is like biasing.
And if you think well the bifilar would have no problem cause between the water plates theres not going to be too much voltage, only in reference to the outside. I think that a 3kv insulation between the bifilar wires is more than enough and i think the coating of the wire already is rated for this, not sure..
One thing still takes my attention, with 3H needed i think that i will need to make 1000 turns for achieving this, witch would become too high voltage if the transformer was to be designed from the primary to the secondary in conventional way.
Thus maybe the primary and secondary should be designed to not even reach half of the saturation cause during the resonance the core will saturate already in my imagination.
I thought of going in the reverse direction.
I have 100ohm 3H 200ma 20kv 5khz so the primary should be 2mh if i'm coming from 12v...
Than the secondary i think that 450mh would be ok and also for the other choke.
Is what i'm going to do now.
Thanks for the reply webmug.
