High frequencies are here defined as those above 50, 000 cycles per second. For industrial power supply the Golpitts circuit, Fig. 28-1, or the coupled-grid self-excited oscillator circuit, Fig. 28-2, is most commonly used. In either circuit, the alternating supply voltage is stepped up through a power transformer to some voltage between about 7500 and 15, 000 volts and is then

rectified by a suitable bank of mercury -vapor rectifier tubes. In Fig. 28-1 the condensers C2 and C3 form an anti-resonant circuit with L and the inductance of the load which may be an induction heating coil fed at the output terminals. The inductance L is tapped so that, even though different heating coils may be used, the total inductance of the circuit can be kept at proper value for anti-resonance at the desired frequency. Condenser C4 is a "blocking" condenser and prevents the flow of direct current into the resonant circuit. The high-frequency choke coil passes the direct current to the anode of the oscillator tube, but presents a high limiting impedance to the high-frequency currents which would otherwise flow back into the rectifier. The condenser C1 by-passes back to the cathode any high-frequency current which does pass through the choke. The voltage across condenser C3, being applied between the grid and the cathode of the oscillator tube, feeds back part of the tube`s anode output, and so causes the tube to be an amplifier and hence a self-regenerator at the frequency established by the constants of the anti-resonant circuit. The oscillator tube is a high-voltage vacuum tube sometimes known as a pliotron. In Fig. 28-2 the grid voltage is supplied by a feed-back coil inductively coupled to the variable inductance L. The condenser CR replaces the condensers Cz and C3 of Fig. 28-1.
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.....
