Wow, thanks for that Arduino program code... I'll be trying it out myself, it might solve some problems I've been having on another project.

Does our BBcode allow "code" tags?

some sample lines
entered here as program code

Hmm... not really, I guess.

I wonder if the Arduino will turn a 2n7000 mosfet on directly. If so they could be drivers for larger, regular IRF series mosfets rather than logic level ones. Or if it would makes sense to use a bipolar transistor as the driver for a regular mosfet.

Arduinos are so cool, and it's great that they are programmed in c.

Hi TinselKoala.
The best way is to separate Arduino from possible spikes. For that I would use optical isolation chip, then a regular mosfet driver chip and then any mosfet or igbt you want.
This setup is a quickie ;)


This is a simple schematic for hooking up the coils and a video of my setup.

Yes, I agree about the spikes.

But I'm getting a compile error on the file.... something wrong in my avr setup, apparently, it can't find math.h, and neither can I, so I'm reinstalling avr....

OK, got the compile error sorted... it was a file permissions issue, scrambled in the upgrade to 11.10. All is well if I run as root, program compiles correctly.

OK. I need some help.
I've been thinking that if we could build an unidirectional resonant LC tank on both primaries it would benefit the design.


NOW. The question is:


How to make a switching circuit, that after a one way discharge, when C reverses polarity and a flow of current falls to 0, the circuit would FLIP the capacitor's polarities,
so instead of the current to go backwards it would go the same direction once again.


ANYONE?

I would agree with KEhYo that a good mosfet driver is the way to go otherwise the on/off slope is marginal at best. As well opto-isolation works as long as we understand we pay for it in efficiency and again the on/off transition suffers, so as always it is a bit of a balancing act.
I love Arduino's, remember the shit we had to go through just to make a simple multi-stage sequencer or a non-linear duty cycle, it's no freaking wonder I have lost so much hair in the last 20 years. Last week I through together a temperature compensating well pump control with the Arduino which adjusts the pump on/off time as well as the time between cycles based on OAT so I can use the shallow well's natural ground heat to keep my horses water trough full and from freezing without an expensive resistance heater. So it's 10pm/-10 Deg C, pitch black and there I am in the middle of a pasture staring at the screen of my laptop programming a well pump with two horses looking over my shoulder wondering what the hell is going on, priceless.
I think many people have under-estimated these wonderful little devices because as an engineer this is the equivalent of a swiss army knife, a super cheap super easy solution for automation and control.

AC

Hi AC.
The optocoupler chips consume little current and shmitt-triggered inputs of mosfet drivers don't change the output on/off transition slope in any way. There is only a delay and maybe a minute difference in pulse width. :)
I think I've got enough transistors (16!) to do the One Way resonant LC switching for both coils. This should be interesting... Some heavy 'U93' ferrites are waiting.

 Hi guys,
 
I just finished winding the secondary coil, 219 turns of #14 AWG. I wanted to share with you my observations about the calculations for this device.
 
First, because the air gap has a much higher reluctance than any ferromagnetic material, it does not matter what type of iron core you use. A low cost sweet iron core is as good as a Silicone sheet steel core. The situation is analogous of having a series connection of two resistors, 1KΩ and 1MΩ. The current would basically stay the same if a 1K, 2K or 5K resistors are used.
 
Second, when doing the calculations for the primary coil, I found that it is almost impossible to obtain 120Vac with a single core set. My calculations showed that 5.6T approximately was required. I derated the secondary voltage to 20vac and the result was 0.8T approximately. So, Mr. Figuera got it right! To have a system with rated voltage, it may be required to add multiple secondary coils.
 
Please, note that I used 1mm for the calculations. If possible, it is recommended to use even smaller gaps.
 
Thanks,
 Wonju.[/font]

 I have finished building the electromagnets. The iron cores are separated with a paper thin cardboard for a minimum separation distance between the cores. The results are very encouraging. I was able to get induce voltages of 1:1 and 1:2. Of course, if primary cross talking occurs, the gap will have to be larger.
 
Notice that I built the coils with intermediate taps. The data is
 
Primary coils:
Wire gauge: #16 AWG
Taps: 215, 415, and 515 turns
 
Secondary coil:
Wire gauge: #12 AWG
Taps: 115 and 5219 turns
 
Next, I am working on the circuit use to drive the primary coils.

 I HAVE MADE A REVISION TO THE DOCUMENT. I REVISED THE PATENT FIGURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMENTS MADE IN THIS FORUM. I ALSO REVISED SOME OF THE WRITE UP AND FIGURES TO INDICATE THAT THE FLUX AND THE VOLTAGE SHOULD BE 90 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE. THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT EXPLAINED IN THE DOCUMENT IS STILL THE SAME.
 
THANKS!

@Bajac
I think that you are wrong in your assumptions of '90 degree' phase shift between Vps,Ips of North/South primaries! (As stated earlier in my posts).
In your 'revised' document on Fig.21, at the 'M' mark, magnetic fields of both primaries are equal as they should be but their magnitudes at this point should be exactly HALF of their maximum magnitudes but they are not! They are both more like 2/3 of their Bmax!

Respectfully

I got the new setup ready for testing...
I've built an Arduino based variable frequency flip-flop pulse driver that can be set manually or automatically (not yet implemented). I can generate pulses of precise length and frequency up to 30kHz.


The base is like Figuera's Generator plus additional magnetic shunt on the secondary (alternative magnetic path for the CEMF flux)...


Testing should start on the weekend, as I am a bit sick now.

 Because of my workload, I do not have too much time to spend at the forum. I just wanted to give you an update of the experiments I am performing. I will continue running more tests for the following two weeks. I have not yet tested the secondary coil with a load. First, I want to maximize the design of the primary circuit.
Please, refer to the following link for the images: http://imageshack.us/g/1/9909982/
IMAGE No. 1:
Shows the setup that I am using: the Arduino controller, the breadboard with the driver, the seven resistors (200 ohms each), and the primary and secondary coils.
IMAGE No. 2:
Shows two 50Ω/50W resistors used as dummy loads to replace the primary coils.
IMAGE No. 3:
Shows the output voltages dropped across the two 50Ω/50W dummy resistors replacing the primary coils. Each scope probe is set at x10. Notice that the small voltage steps are followed by a large jump in voltage. The frequency of the voltages is about 68Hz
IMAGE No. 4:
Shows the setup of IMAGE #3 but with seven 10 ohms resistors instead of the 200Ω. The scope probes are set at x1. Notice that the voltage steps are better defined.
This is an important design criterion to be applied when using the resistors as shown in the patent. The value of the resistors must be optimized for the impedances of the primary coils. If the resistors are too high the voltage steps are small and large at positions 1 and 8 as shown in image 3. On the other hand, if the resistors are too small, the DC component of the primary current would be too high, which increases the primary current considerably.
IMAGE No. 5:
Shows the setup of IMAGE #4 but with the primary coils connected instead of the dummy resistors. No load is connected at the secondary coil. There is no DC voltage component at the coils, as expected. The controller and the driver are working fine because there are no voltage spikes. The transitions of the power transistors are make-before-break. The scope probes are set at x10.
When the loads are pure resistive as in IMAGE #4, the minimum and maximum values of the voltages occur when the transistors at positions 1 and 8 are on. When the primary coils are connected, the minimum voltage value occur at about positions 3 and 5.
IMAGE No. 6:
The top graph corresponds to the voltage drop across a primary coil with no DC component. The scope probe is set at x10. The bottom graph represents the current flowing through the same coil and corresponds to the voltage drop across the 0.25 Ohms resistor used as a shunt resistor. There is a DC component. The first x-axis from the bottom corresponds to zero voltage. The scope probe is set at x1. A design goal should be to minimize the DC component applied to the primary coils. Notice that even though the voltage applied to the coil changes in steps, the changes of the current through the coil is smooth. As expected, the current in an inductor cannot change instantaneously.
I am giving you some test bench information that can be helpful for constructing the model.
Wonju-Bajac
PS: this will be my last reference to the issue of the resistors being used as a current splitter and/or the phase shift of the primaries. I just wanted to provide an analysis of a current splitter using six (6) resistors as shown in image 7. The results of the calculations indicate that the sum of the two currents is not always a constant when using resistor loads. But, with the primary inductor coils, it could be a different story.

 My experiments are moving slowly because I am building more coil sets of the transformer. I have not tested the circuit for over unity, yet. However, I did short circuit the secondary coil with a screwdriver and sparks were generated melting the wires to the screwdriver. The most interesting thing is that a change in the total primary current was not noticeable.
Refer to the following link for more images:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/imageno8setup.jpg/
IMAGE_No.8:
Shows the equipment setup. Heat sinks were added to the IGBTs. I also built a variable DC voltage power supply.
IMAGE_No.9:
Shows the reference x-axes channel 1 (above) and channel 2 (below).
IMAGE_No.10:
Shows the voltage of a primary coil (channel 1) and the total primary current Ipn+Ips (channel 2). NOTICE THAT THE TOTAL PRIMARY DC CURRENT IS NOT CONSTANT!
Channel 1 => 10V/Div
Channel 2 => 4A/Div
The conditions for the testing are:
Power supply Vdc = 25.30V input; Vac = 15.45Vrms; Iac≈1.30A input; primary turns = 100t; secondary turns = 219t.
Resistors:
8Ω/20W, 10Ω/10W, 10Ω/10W, 10Ω/10W, 10Ω/10W, 10Ω/10W, 8Ω/20W,
IMAGE_No.11:
Shows the secondary output voltage
Channel 1 => 20V/Div

I will keep you posted.
