I am switching the negative end and comparing voltages on the negative end to make the switch happen.
The Joule thief / Radiant Oscillator is just used to drive the voltage up in the cap so that I could test Nvisser's idea for switching with an SSR. Quick and easy test if you will. I had the parts so I took the task.
The five amp meter is actually not a good meter to use I need a 20. The pulses are way higher than 5.
With further tuning on the oscillator side I got some voltages climbing in the ranges of 41-42v on my charge batteries.
The switching side seems to be heavily Dependant on the radiant being generated on the Oscillator side. Depending on how thats running I can vary the amount of amperage going across on the switch side.
Is this the best way to go about it or do you have some further suggestions? I'm kinda flying blind and just seeing what I can get out of it.
I'll build one today with a couple a mosfets and an opto as shown in Nvissers plan. See If I can get that cranking out.
Cheers
Matt
