    After some time, I've made two TS circuits that are under study... one small one that works with capacitors... and the second one for more power. They're still being studied... it's a shame the thread is no longer active.

    Regards.

    Hello everyone... I've been reading this forum for several days and the information has been very good... but I got to this last post... and the link to where it continues is broken... any idea what happened to this whole project?

    Greetings to all?

    Hi All,

    I am new on this forum and English is not my first language, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.

    Maybe I missed something, but this topic is very long. I would like to build a TS, where should I start? Which diagram should I use?

    Thanks for any help,
    Lukasz

    I am here to asked: The tesla switch circuit need to power the IC which controls the switching of current of the circuit, I just wonder should there be an additional battery(the 5th battery) to power the IC, or just one of the four batteries of the tesla switch to power the IC?

    Also, I wonder what should be maxi current(or the thickness/AWG) rating of electric/magnet wires used in tesla switch circuit. For example, what's the difference between powering a 1000W appliance and a 10000W appliance?
    1: it's for simplicity. But some DC regulator like an old 7805 are required here to produce the supply of your pulse source. (there are spikes in the battery when the TS running).

    Of corse, you can use a 5. battery instead if you like. Just nothing will charge it.

    2: It's not Tesla switch relevant. Phisicsy clearly shows that with P=U*I: 1000W/12V means 83A so AWG10 or better required. It also marks size and weight requirements for the transformer core.


    Have you tries to build a TS?

    The bridge rectifier puts out pulsing DC. As I already explained you need a large capacitor after the bridge to smooth out the pulses from the bridge. The other capacitors are before the bridge.

    Do I need to add an extra capacitor to smooth out the DC pulses?

    Do I need to add an extra capacitor(the third one) to smooth out the DC pulses? Or the two original capacitors in the tesla switch circuit can help smooth out the dc pulses to the inverter already(i.e. there is no need to add an extra large capacitor, total only two capacitor is enough in the circuit?)?

    Yes you are correct. You could use a bridge and a large capacitor to smooth out the DC pulses and an inverter would probably work as long as the voltage was in the proper range.

    But now you are changing AC to DC to run an inverter to change it back to AC again. All those conversions have some losses.

    Bridge rectifier can convert ac into dc

    hi citfta, mathew jones

    citfta, you said that the inverter will see the current as ac and cannot work, that's why the bridge rectifier comes into the play. The bridge rectifier ensures that the inverter see the current as dc (always the same direction). Isn't it?
