I am running them in sets of 2 (6V), so charging 6 of them at a time at 40V on the primary side... The RPMS at 4150..... Zzooooom.... I have normally just set it to the highest RPM, since I want a more ON time, and sharper spikes.
I can't wait till I figure out how to use my scope....
I felt all of the transistors and they are cool to touch while it is running. Since I am running this 24/7 I don't want any other arrangement.
Under my present setup, I am using an OLD analog power supply, it can't give me more than .8 AMP. but will consider your method when I start using batteries as my primary.
