Title: Stevie1001 and Electrojolts Bob Boyce version
Post by: Login to see usernames on November 04, 2008, 21:56:56 pm
Hi,

Well, you all seen my platecell and my running engine on that.
One of the things i still had on my todo list was a Bob Boyce like circuit.
In one of the discussions with another member (Electrojolt) the idea came to make
a circuit that had a oscillator and some deviders to get a totally synchrone output of the 42, 21 and 10khz waves.
The other target was to have a 10% uptime in the dutycycle.

I have now this circuit designed were it is possible to change the oscillator frequency from around 40 till 45khz
The other 2 channels stay synchrone and change also up or low.

Here are 2 pictures.

Still to come is the toroid. I am working on it, but it is a nasty piece of work, if you wanna do it right.

Can you vary the phase like a Boyce PWM?
Title: Re: Stevie1001 Bob Boyce version
Post by: Login to see usernames on November 05, 2008, 03:12:59 am
Yes we can phase shift in 36 degrees increments.

Bob's PWM G board doesn't not sync the 3 frequencies.

Now the HEX board does both, sync and phase shift. but is also a little more complicated to build.

This circuit that we are testing is very simple and anyone can make one.

now we just have to test it with a cell and toroid.

Yes, i can. Here it is.
It took me me 2.5hours to draw it...... ;)
As you can see, i do not have a circuit design program, but instead of that i used MS Visio.

Ok,

The final circuitboard is ready.
I added the switches. In stead of 10 options, i use 5.

So, the dipswitches have a double function.
If you use 1 dipswitchsetting, you have a dutycycle of 10%
If you use 2 switchessettings, you have a dutycycle of 20% etc etc.
So, you can can play with fixed dutycycles between 0 and 50 with use of 5 switchessettings.
If you use the 10% and start with the middle dipswitch setting. (nr.3 of the switch) you will have the
possibility to change phase up and down in steps of 10%. So max 20% up or down.

The circuit, with exception of the FETs are voltage controlled by the 7812 regulator. This means that
you can use a variable powersupply to the board.  This way you can have between the 12 and 30V on the primary coils of the toroid for tuning purposes!

The frequency's are made by 1 oscillatorchip and the 3 harmonic channels are fully in sync with eachother because of that.
The base frequency is adjustable, so you can play with that as well. This means that for example you can have on channel a range from 40 till 45khz.

here moree pics!

Hey Stevie, great Idea of the deep switches  :)

Can you check the output voltage when you have 20% duty cycle?

The reason I ask, is because when I 1st put this circuit toguether, and doing that (20%) my output voltage would drop to 1/2.

I was using 5 volts.

I found some scope photos that I took when I tested it.

you can see how we can phase shift the 3 frequencies

Yes, you are right that the voltage output of the 4017 drops. Thats why i use 12V for the circuit.
The output must still be ok for steering the FETS. But tests will tell. Otherwise we perhaps have to use 3  FET driver chips. I still have those here on stock....

Great pics!

Finally the toroid is done!

See here 2 pics.
On my scope i ll see very nice spikes when measured on the secondairy coil.

So, it was time to hook all up to my platecell.
Sadly enough, my first run didnt show any improvements at all.
I must be doing something wrong.
Its a long way that i travelled....seems i have more miles to go!

I'm assuming you tested with the new board posted above, 2 caps and using 3 heavy duty chokes as Bob Boyce recommends?
Did you also try various phase shifts?
Title: Re: Stevie1001 and Electrojolts Bob Boyce version
Post by: Login to see usernames on November 15, 2008, 23:37:10 pm
The questions is: What would actually happen here?
How can i see that it works or not?

Yes, i have almost 1000uF on my ripled dc output.
The only thing i do not have, are the heavy duty chokes.

If i look at the schematic, my cell gets a almost flat DC thru a coil (secondairy of the toroid).
The 3 primary coils should pulse so that the target voltage of my cell is hit.
So, my cell needs 180V
The step up calc of the prim to sec should also meet the 180V

Well, all is done.
I did some phase shifting. I did some good looking at my scopes.
I did some measuring at my cell.
Well, at my cell, i really do not see anything. NO SPIKES at all.

I can adjust almost everything on this setup.
Not sure where to look at....or for....

Anybody who can assist me here?

well what you see everyone buying on the net and is a bob boyce set up is not the one that he acttually uses  to accomplish this  he has a totally different controller that is fully adjustable  from 0 to what ever duty cycle and the frequency are what ever you want them to be  cause it is all set with a microcontroller that can be changed by your pc as of now their are less than 20 of them in existance
that is also another reason why people dont replicat his set up

i dont know for sure if it will run a 350 chevy but i have bought one of the  hex controllers and am planning on trying it to see

Hi najman,

Thanks for doing this PCB design,

This is what I call good open sourcing, everyone helps.

Stevie, sorry to hear the set up did work, but don't give up. 

I really think we will need the 2 heavy chokes.
Title: Re: Stevie1001 and Electrojolts Bob Boyce version
Post by: Login to see usernames on November 16, 2008, 17:12:29 pm
I think Stevie has come a long way and has done most of the hard work already (especially winding the monstrous Toroid) I don't have the specs  of chokes used in Bob's circuit, but creating one (maybe use from Meyer VIC) should be worth a try.

Some of the differences I see between Stevie's testing and Bob's circuit are as follows, but don't know if it's a must for Bob's three frequencies to work:
1. Bob uses a lot of neutral plates
2. Bob uses the open bath design, whereas Stevie might be using his dry cell
3. Bob uses 3 heavy duty chokes
4. Bob uses 28% KOH by weight

Maybe someone can contact Bob and ask for help?

Why would anybody wants to use that same coil as secundairy of his trafo?

Ok, this is my setup:

53 plates of 30cm by 10cm 304 plates   (12 inch by 4 inch)
Its a drycell type, meaning fully sealed on all edges.
0,5mm gap between plates (0.022inch)
I use tapwater or wellwater.

Toroid: 110mm O.D. or 4.3 inches
            52mm I.D or 2 inches
            40mm high or 1.57 inches

3x Primairy:
3x 38 turns of 0.8mm (20 gauge)
1x Secondairy:
124 turns of 1.2mm (16.5 gauge)
Both are emailled copperwire

Accoording to the D9.pdf:
How much volts consumes the cell COLD at 2 amps: 180V strait dc with caps(really flat DC)

Calculation:
180V / 4 = 45V
45V / 13.8V = 3.26
124/3.26 = 38 turns


Today i took the capacitors off the powersupply.
Now i see something happening.
Its a rimpled rectified unstabilized DC.
Meaning, the bumps of the unstabilized DC are filled with rimples or peaks.
See pictures and vid.

Any comments on my setup?
Is this what it should look like?

I made a measurement mistake, yesterday.
The probe of the scope was hooked up to the bridge recitifier and not on the WFC.

I made that correction and i did some fideling with my new Bob toy.

Next steps:

Tuning primary coils. Specially the 42khz is too weak in my case. Goal: make all peaks the same on the scope.
Also i read that i forgot the heavy duty chokes. Well, i have those here, so thats easy added.

Title: Re: Stevie1001 and Electrojolts Bob Boyce version
Post by: Login to see usernames on November 18, 2008, 15:42:37 pm
I played with chokes on the powerlines as descriped by Bob Boyce.
I see clearly on the scope less polution on the cell measured.

I also tuned the circuit so, all signals are in phase.

See pics. As you can see, the volts are multiplied when the peaks fall over eachother...Thats why the 10khz is higher.

Even at 20 or 30V on the FETS, the amps are lower then 1. Maybe i need take some windings of the primairys, so more amps will be pulled and the greater the magnetic fields can become and the higher the voltage burst on the secondairy.

Hi,

I found this information on the forum of Wouter.
It was on my topic on the bob circuit that Electrojolt and i made.
The frequencys suggested are 620 630 and 12000

just read it. I think its for ionizing the air or gasses and not for water.
