    Thats the same circiut you posted the other day right??

    Looks good can't wait to see whole deal.

    This thread has been quite for too long. Check it out.

    Thanks

    In case, anyone is interested in how a frame of a PV system (island-personal-power-grid) calculation should look like (it's in Serbian sorry ).
    there IS a .odt "chewed up" version obtainable, but I'm now willing to share "for free"
    it will be "shared for fee" instead (sorry) (like $10 or 10EUR or so)?

    But it will be available under NDA?

    Hi folks, don't hold Your breathe,
    I run few L.A.B. restoration and will be "off line" for a while

    There where errors!!



    I humbly apologize to the 18 downloaders of the now obsolete file I provided on 4shared web-service.

    There where errors

    The code and the comments to not match (but You probably figured that by now). They create a false impression of something that actually newer happens in reality!
    To make it even worse, the code did produce the seeminly expected action, only the wrong way!

    How I know?

    Well, as soon as i tried to implement the gradual load increase on startup it bursted right in my sorry face!

    I mixed it up!

    Now afer hours of tedious afterthought and study, then again careful software engineering and development and yet again many hours of ever most profound reconsideration, I bring to You the last but not least:
    The ever best most up to date:
    "advpulser just got better"

    the brand new source:
    where do You want to tell me to go today?
    Where You want me even more to go-for workgroups




    Stevan C.

    P.S.
    on ocassion it makes cells rise a residue:
    bad cells rise red kind of "dust"
    good cells rise black kind of dust in the acid?
    then I let them rest...

    3 battery switch

    I was playing with my 3 battery switch tonight.
    Normally it out puts about 10v when powering small cpu fan or lights.
    Then I thought I would see if it would power my solidstate bedini charger.
    And it did supply power for it 16.5v and 1 amp charging another battery.

    So i'm charging batteries with the 3 battery switch
    powering my ss bedini chargering a battery.
    All batteries are lead acid car batteries.

    Well thought it was interesting and I would tell the forum.

    Still working on my mechanical 4 battery switch.

    ::edit::
    well on 3 fully charge batteries on 3 battery swith It only does 14.5v 1amp on ss bedini charger


    Thanks Bill

    What is the status of this project? It would be easier to ask than read 100+ pages.

    Is the Tesla Switch finally working or still in good progress?

    Many thanks,

    Fausto.

    New AVR frimware utilizing interrupts in C

    Hi,
    I'm midway reconstructing the destroyed device(s)


    the new updated source is here:
    advpulser-0.2.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

    if anyone feels like "doing it"

    all is same, only the "Que" is from interrupts instead from a busy loop...
    Timing is virtually the same.

    Best regards,
    Stevan C.

    Surprisingly, the model is vaild in LTspice (works)

    This means:
    bipolar switch bridge ("totem pole") would allow for really huge voltages without copper.

    The 555 based voltage double works too (=doubles) for up to 200mA sourcing and up to 90ma providing (double).


    Is this the dawn of TS-next_generetion the TS-ng?

    think this:
    Cockcroft-Walton_generator
    This is important


    Best regards,

    I like that Cockcroft-Walton_generator and the voltage multipliers shown there. That's an interesting and seemingly better way to step up voltage. Is there a reason this does not replace transformers in more circuits? I'm guessing it's more efficient and possilby cheaper to build especially with copper prices being up so high in the last couple years?

    fryday report

    Not that You interested, but it was fryday today.
    Luckily i bought double quotes so it won't be buydey today nor tomorrow


    The outcome:
    1. one ATmega48 Quer is fried (dead)
    2. The 7812 and/or 7805 seems to be dead too
    3. the 555-CP survived luckily

    I have a spare 07301 and spares for the LM78xx parts

    Just to share the feeling:

My NiCD and LABs swing (max 2V to the downside), but not nearly what the NiMH will do. The upward swing after the downward on the NiCD and LABs is ~+4V, where with the NIMH, it goes to -3 then 0. No upward spike on the NiMH...

    This is all, of course, with a HV low current pulse, and not with a 2X Voltage and high current pulse.

    Leroy,
    I have given many, many thoughts,
    but I still seek a "tool" so I could possibly delve into exploring it, bu this time- "equipped right way" and "from the start up"

    so far this CP I've built (thanks to SeaMonkey ) has show some extra properties that my digital scope fails to catch ( this is rather good ).

    I get a sharp rise of 50% the total amount in sub 1usec (~5A) and therefrom i get a ~20usec "hump" ramping up to the rest (~9A) of the peak.

    (o-scope shots in due time )

    I wonder:
    A. What the "vertical" indicates
    B. what the "slope" indicates


    Best regards,
    Stevan C.
