How the VIC Works - IMPORTANT!

This is the wave form we are looking for is it not?

I'm presently working with 1kV to 2kV peaks with very little current.

I am presently running with a resonant frequency around 6.8kHz and a very low gate pulse, probably around 30Hz.  Duty cycle on the primary frequency is high.  Duty cycle on the gate frequency is low.   You can see the frequency doubling in the pic as it shows 18kHz.  The voltage doubling is also present.

Obviously, these frequencies are setup specific.

I'm not happy with the step up as it drops two steps before each step up.  Seems to be related to the output of one of the PWMs.

How did you measure TS? Over the cell, or coils included?
And did you see already more gas?

Over cell and coil coupled to primary.   No gas yet.  Still perfecting the wave form and voltage intensity.

In short, I have come to a reasonable certainty that Tony's VIC circuit as is is not capable of working correctly to charge the water cell.

Also from my experiences with my PWMs and my observation and studying the 4046 chip, I believe that using the 4046 as the main frequency driver is not suitable and will never produce the desired result. 

Alternatively, there is a problem with my copy of the circuit that I haven't yet been able to determine.

However, I will also not pretend that I have high experience  or am an expert using 4046 or circuit design.  I could be wrong.  I am just commenting about my experience and conclusions up to this point.

I have turned instead to the boards being provided by Ronnie Walker and Neal Ward at http://www.stanmeyerreplications.net and will start testing with them this weekend.

good luck this weekend TS

Haven't gotten to actual testing yet.  Assembled most components and waiting for some more to come on Tuesday.
