I
finished rebuilding the PLL SSTC 1, it's now an entirely new coil. See
it in the HV section. I corrected an error in the boost converter
schematic, the charging range was set to 300 to 600V instead of the
intended 270 to 450V.
1st October 2008
University
has slowed projects down as much as high school I see. I've repaired the
boost converter page greatly, so it now includes a description of the
circuit function and has an expanded troubleshooting section. I haven't
stopped working on projects however!
6th August 2008
I can't remember why I delayed posting this, anyway there's an ignition coil project in the HV section now.
3rd August 2008
A two week vacation prevented me from posting this earlier, but here it is. The PLL Induction Heater driver.
18th June 2008
Before I go on vacation I thought I'd throw up a simple little summer holiday project. USB Travel Charger.
11th June 2008
Fixed the Class E SSTC schematic and added a description of how it works.
17th May 2008
430J coil gun article has been given an overhaul.
10th May 2008
I cleaned up the Induction heater article and put some actual content in it. If it didn't make sense before it will now...
3rd May 2008
PIC-based 8 channel radio frequency remote control system finished. Used to make an RC car.
29th April 2008
I updated the Magnetic levitation page with a fixed circuit and added a picture and video.
3rd April 2008
I added a page about resonant MOTs, be sure to check it out. I've also signed up for a youtube account,
so now I can put videos on my site. So far I've inserted videos of my
MOT arcs, two SSTCs and Marx generator in their respective pages.
19th March 2008
I fixed the multi-purpose inverter
schematic after a catastrophic failure involving one of the main filter
capacitors, so if you've made one you'd better check the update. The
amount of magic smoke in those electrolytics is amazing.
15th March 2008
So much for the time fountain. 180kV Marx generator and palm-top class E SSTC added.
4th January 2008
8 channel IR remote control project and Geiger counter added. I'm finishing up a Time fountain which I expect to finish shortly.
17th December 2007
Project-Marathon! PLL Solid State Tesla Coil, 15 - 48V 15A SMPS,
Multi-Purpose Inverter, Tesla Coil Fres Finder, USB PIC Programmer and
Auxiliary flyback SMPS. Most of these were completed earlier this year,
but just not finished or published.
2nd December 2007
I fixed image links which would go to the wrong picture.
I've finished the 700W 15-50V PSU, Geiger counter and multi-purpose
inverter so I just need to write the articles now. The SSTC just needs
some minor tweaking before being boxed up and finished.
25th November 2007
I added the links section and changed logo. Currently I have four
projects on the go which are just missing a few components before being
complete. A 700W 15-50V PSU, a Geiger counter and a multi-purpose
inverter. While waiting for parts to arrive I've been working on a SSTC
as well. I hope to have all of these projects complete by Christmas
time.
21st October 2007
I've made a brand new site and repaired the older content. Hopefully I
got rid of some mistakes and improved the layout. If you've never been
here before this is my project site where I publish things I've been
working on.
