    Anyone interested, here is the link to the one I ordered:
    https://www.digikey.com/product-deta...9-B-ND/1219534

    Hope the link works,

    Wantomake ,

    If you have anything lower than 90 you cal use that . say a 75 v?
    EDIT: Did you see the info on the order method for the same toroid coil we made?

      Wantomake,

      Tomorrow AM I will be helping my daughter-in-law in stall a new water well tank.
      However I will be checking in quite often to see if you need anything.

      Best to you J ,

        Clarence / Wannamake,

        I've got these transformers already from before:
        ---------------------
        TOROIDAL TRANSFORMER TD300-1120-P; DN19551;

        300VA; 60 HZ; Primary - 120V; 160 degrees of winding on

        toroid surface coverage.

        Secondary to be wound by customer. 50P
        -----------------------

        Can I use one of these instead of buying another one? If so, what do I need to know/do?

        Thanks,

          As I said before - that one will not work!

          The CORE is good but that's all !

          You would have to strip it completely and re wind it yourself with 660 turns
          covering the whole thing.
          Believe me , you do not want that!!!!!!!!!!
          I will never do it again - it,s that BAD!

          Best,

          Clarence

            Measure the OD (outside diameter), ID, and height. If it's same as ours, Clarence and I, then can give you some pointers to winding yours.

            Clarence was patient to show me how to wind mine. We wrapped and tested two before getting it right. But once you start wrapping it kind of falls in to place and you'll get the hang of it.

            I think I bought 400 feet of #20 magnet wire to start with.

            But tell us the dimensions first.

            Edit: Sorry didn't see Clarence post until after I posted. It took two days to wrap and painful. But possible.

              Wantomake,

              On the GDT,s - If I remember right , from order to ship takes 1-2 days and about 4-5 total to get them in hand.
              The same Ole waiting program.

              Hang in there , it's worth the wait.
              After 4 years I've finally got something that works and rewards all the efforts.
              PTL!

              The best part is having it right there at your finger tips and under your control.
              After a full month of operating it, I have a few Ideas of How to improve it's performance.
              Until then I'm only going to watch it!

              Hang on J,

                I'm sure Clarence is correct that it's not too fun to wind 660 times However, I might give it a shot just for the learning experience. I've got 1000' of 32 gauge & also 28 gauge enameled magnet wire from a different project already. Is it too small to work?

                  It may work, but like Clarence said it's hard to wind the core. The hardest part is seeing the wire. Each loop has to fit tightly next to the last loop. That 28 and 32 awg is smaller and harder to see. Plus there are electronic specifications to consider that I can't qoute you cause I don't know them. I believe I got 420 feet of the 20 awg and had a little left over.

                  Did you post the dimensions of your core yet?

                    I don't have any GDT's other than the 250 volt ones. USPS says the parcel is coming from midwest. So may be here Monday or Tuesday. If they would feed those snails a little we would have our mail delivered faster. Haha hey is that coffee sitting there? Yes!!!!

                    Oh I can't wait to see this baby finally purr. Did you get it to power from an inverter? I missed that through all this celebration noise.

                    The heat 102+ heat index has limited my shop time. But I still study FE and keep notes. Plus life and such keeps one busy.

                    Hey is that a hot cup of coffee sitting there.....

                      Ok, I've got measurements:

                      outer diameter: 4 5/8"
                      inner diameter: 2 1/2"
                      height: 1 3/4"

                      I do have access to 20#. I've also got the gdt's on order!

                        Wantomake,

                        Not ignoring you, just been hellaciouslly busy today. Was helping daughter-in-law today with her water well tank replacement. Was 96 + degrees and sweating like a water spout.
                        Had not paid attention to my blood/sugar level lately (down to 70 - REAL BAD) so at one point I found myself laying flat on the ground looking at the sky. Needless to say she freaked out! Ha Ha. I should have known better so we shut down until tomorrow .

                        Had been busy off and on rechecking things on my unit and found a serious
                        problem that I didn't know existed. The factory 90 volt GDT I was using was a factory DUD. It did not have a plasma action in it at all - It was simply a strait through connection (short) . So then had to go back to the ARIOVALDO type
                        schematic which auto killed the mains breaker (also the reason why inverters GROWL or Auto kick out) .
                        So please check your GDTS for continuity when you get them.

                        Am beginning to see that the B&L units are a type of Fool The Meter program with a CAPTOR thrown in.

                        You method of checking the voltage with the Captor disconnected to see whether or not the captor is doing any thing or not is basiclly good but it is not the best method.
                        Me, I don't care what the voltage is or is not. What I want to know is any induction of amperage from one to the other taking place or not.

                        The way I do it is to disconnect all power to the Captor and leave tho voltage
                        still flowing through the one and a half green wire loop around the Captor coil
                        And check with a clamp meter on the Captor Coil itself.
                        I finally had a chance to day to do that and there IS induction taking place between the green ground wire loop on the Captor coil. At this present time that amount of amperage transfer is only .2 amps. So this is the area to be worked on and I will proceed to do just that.

                        J, it's really been a nutty day so I,m going to take a rest for tomorrow at least.
                        BTW: to keep the mains breaker or an inverter from seeing the ground return as a direct short you can place a RUN capacitor between the incoming ground return and the Green wire one and a half loop around the captor coil.
                        It changes the DIRECT contact to an electrostatic contact an makes feed possible.

                        Thanks for listening.

                          Yes that's the same size and type we have. Sorry couldn't get to the shop today. Had to wait a while before I could measure mine. I actually have two, one I wound, the other is extra.

                            Take care of yourself. Take some time to get better. My parts come in Monday. And it was 97° here with 102° + heat index. Will be better to make a go at it Monday or Tuesday as its supposed to cool down by then.

                            I feel GDT is at a crossroads there on that block terminal. The hot connected to the terminal then to the ground, which is a short. We know this. But is there something happening because of the plasma filled GDT between the ground and connected to the other side of the receptacle. Is the GDT causing energy to be charged by ions or photons, positive or negative, or what it's called I don't know. I connected a neon lamp across that terminal and it fried!!!! The neon was rated at 120v ac. Why did it fry? There's something serious going on there at that terminal. I've used that neon to test 120v ac how many times.

                            The kicker here ole friend is I was testing this while powered by my inverter. Not the mains.

                            Don't abandon this setup just yet. You may have something here.

                            Just rest take it easy. We'll know more after the parts come in.

                              I don't intend to abandon any thing.
                              My point was that the Captor IS Producing amperage AND injecting it into the
                              return circuit but it is VERY SMALL WITH ONLY THE ONE & A HALF TURN.

                              THAT is the direction I want to study! More turns around the two coil turns?/or MORE turns around ALL of the coil turns at one time?
                              I don't know which way is the best at present but I,m sure going to find out!

                              Thanks for the concern and health advice - that was caused strictly by my ole dumb ass!

                              Thanks for listening J !

                                I feel GDT is at a crossroads there on that block terminal.

                                The kicker here ole friend is I was testing this while powered by my inverter. Not the mains.

                                Don't abandon this setup just yet. You may have something here.

                                Morning Sir! Should say a Good Coffee morning for sure!
                                I have some extra on hand scrap multi-strand high AWG wire . So for this interim time I am going to be doing as many types of Thought-up ground return wire wraps on the Captor Coil as possible. The Toroid core and 660
                                coil will be totally disconnected for all of this time.
                                Now's the time to play so this ole boy is going to love it!
                                Will make written notes to myself and then get back to you when I run out
                                of ways to wrap. Last thing I tried Showed an increase of induction transfer to the DEAD Captor coil from the previous .2 amps to a new .3 amps.
                                Will see how high an induction transfer between the two I can build.

                                Have a good sip or two J.
