Continuing the studies about directly coupled multiple resonance networks operated as Tesla coil like devices, I built a 6th-order system, that is equivalent to a ` Tesla magnifier `, but without a transformer. The schematic diagram is shown below: This circuit has several potential advantages over a simpler directly coupled Tesla coil : Faster en

ergy transfer from C1 to the distributed terminal capacitance C3, what results in smaller losses, greater efficiency, and insensitivity to tuning precision. The wider notches in the primary waveforms tend to cause fast quenching of the spark gap, at the first notch, trapping all the energy in the high-voltage part of the circuit. The design is restricted by the absence of the extra degree of freedom allowed by a transformer in the classic magnifier circuit, with the maximum voltage gain being forced by the ratios among the resonance frequencies, but the transformerless construction is simpler. The system was designed to have three resonance frequencies, in the ratio 5:6:7. In this way it can transfer the energy in C1 to C3, ignoring losses, in just three cycles (in 12. 5 µs), instead of in the 11 cycles (in 37. 6 µs) required by the 4th-order directly coupled system with the same input (identical) and output (almost identical) capacitances. The power supply is a 5000 V, 30 mA neon sign transformer with a single floating output, that charges the capacitor C1, that is then discharged through a multiple spark gap starting the energy transfer transient. C1 is a 5. 09 nF "MMC" capacitor, the same that I used with the 4th-order system. L3, the output resonator coil with 28. 2 mH, the terminal with a telescopic antenna, the NST and the spark gap are also the same. Their description can be seen here. The other two coils are L1,...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
