I have a large ferrite C core.
I need to get it cut, once I do I may have a few extra sets.
I don't think it's the right core material though...It's ferrite, 2000 permeability which is too high....Same material Tony Woodside has and he's getting resonance but no gas production.....Which seems to be a common theme.
If anyone has ferrite and does no know how to cut it you need a diamond blade and a lot of water!
Unfortunately I don't have a saw so I was thinking about taking it to a machine shop?

Russ,
The core is too thick, too wide and too long.
I think there is enough in one core to make 4
or 5 vic core sets, give or take 1 or two sets as
I think the first few cuts will crack or break
the ferrite.
Jeff, thanks for the idea,, I will look into
it this weekend to see if the are any local rock
shops.
All of my research indicates that the isolation
transformer is a pulse transformer. What that
means is that the design is very critical.
If any one of many characteristics is
incorrect the coil will output AC and no
gas will be produced. The core has the most
influence so my hopes for this core are not very high.

impedance matching and everything needs to be dead on...
Thanks for the info. i hope josh (the guy doing all the calling) will com up with some info on price quotes for the core. then we can see what perm we need... guess and check... but that's the only way as of now...

I think the permeability we need is around 1000 or less. I've been looking at Ferrite 46 and some others. In this design Meyer aimed for a center frequency of 5khZ which he explains in the control and driver circuits patent (WO 92/07861).
I am getting ready to wind my bobbins, wondering if I should try winding them on my lathe or just go for the hand winding method....It's hard to get a good wind on a square bobbin....How did you guys wind yours?

i used a drill, but want to go back in do it a bit nicer... it may effect the turn counts and that will change the inductance. but how much i don't know...
happy windings ! ~Russ

I've drawn up the complete "functioning" schematic of the circuit as well:

The zipped schematic file in the attachments may only be compatible with gschem of the gEDA electronic toolkit, so compatibility varies.

Guys,I dont know if you observed(i did by comparison)that the original vic board does NOT contain variable pulse gen and gated pulse gen.,like vic.sckem pdf shows(see attachment)it contains only voltage amplitude control/cell driver/pulse indicator/PLL/and scaning circuits...the variable pulse and gated pulse gen are on the GMS,hope that helps!

The Variable Pulse Frequency and the Gated Pulse Frequency sub-circuits are a part of the Gas Management System unit which connect to the VIC unit, not a part of the VIC card.Quote from Sharky on January 9th, 2012, 02:08 PM An other question about the Haxar schematic, ... the 74122 is not present on the VIC card, is it a replacement part or did you change the schematic after doing the trace of the vic card?

What do you guys think about the chokes being different values?
When Don had the VIC's in his posession he said they were "hand wound and not precision at all"
The difference of the choke coils is about 767 inches. With a median circumference of about 4.18" this turns out to be a difference of around 180 turns. If someone was hand winding these coils and not paying attention I could see how this could happen....Especially after you have wound a few....
In all of Meyer's other designs he always states the chokes are bifilar wound in equal length.
However, in Meyer's early drawings he shows a variable choke on the negative side?
I wonder if there is a specific ratio between the two choke values or if they are supposed to be equal?

This is a very strong possibility.
With a lot of Meyer's tech, what has actually been found in his items does not always match what the patents say.
Given the implications of his technology, it is not far fetched to think that 'higher powers' tampered with and even placed 'duds' there to mislead the masses.
Either the patents are right, the devices or right, or a combo of both.
Only time and testing will ultimately tell.
Their goal of killing the project has obviously backfired and now there will be no stopping it.
Keep pressing forward everyone!

You know, I have done some thinking on this. It occurs to me that some of Stan's devices could have been tampered with by persons wanting to mislead individual's like ourselves, don't know this for sure, but it could be a possibility, so more testing would be the key.

and keep experimenting too many on this now
IDEA
Get a Basic kit together , just above cost,
1. bobbins
2. Wire
3 boards
4. parts
5 tape
6 include testing and target specs wanted
put all in the guides , circulate it even more !!!
get it out there.
for each of the guides , invite others, get iit out htere
Japs did this and it is now called TOYOTA!
than 10++ people can all start winding
and trying different ways with targets. invite unis and every one@@!!
this will kill the issues and over come blocks super fast
development power BABY!!

I think the permeability we need is around 1000 or less. I've been looking at Ferrite 46 and some others. In this design Meyer aimed for a center frequency of 5khZ which he explains in the control and driver circuits patent (WO 92/07861).
I am getting ready to wind my bobbins, wondering if I should try winding them on my lathe or just go for the hand winding method....It's hard to get a good wind on a square bobbin....How did you guys wind yours?
I would like your opinion about some core material.
Typical Properties:
Mn-Zn Ferrite
Initial Permeability 1200
Maximum Permeability 7500
Saturation Flux Density 5250 Gauss
Remanent Flux Density 2100 Gauss
http://www.cmi-ferrite.com/Products/Materials/data/MN67.pdf
EDIT: http://www.cmi-ferrite.com/Materials/Datasheets/MnZn/MN67%20ISO%20WEB%20DATA.pdf
Custom core can by made with the exact dimensions provided in Dynodon sketches.
The parts will be machined from an iso-pressed block of ferrite.
Minimum order would be 10 pcs.
We need 2 pcs for one VIC unit.

I do not think meyer accidentally added so much turns, he was not the kind of man to do things accidentally. If it was intentional i can only think of it being a band pass filter, thatwould be the most logical reason for the coils being different. About tampering, ... Most info comes from Don, if he changed data to spread confusion we will find out soon enough, we are getting very close to having replicated almost everything by now.

I don't think Don would of tampered with anything. I think during the time between 1998 and before Don got to see the estate it had plenty of chances to be tampered with. Personally I think all the "good stuff" is still missing. We just won't really ever know until we replicate it. Its too bad the estate wasn't sold to someone who actually cared about getting us off oil power. I'd love to see that buggy put back together in running condition!Quote from Sharky on March 20th, 2012, 11:17 AM I do not think meyer accidentally added so much turns, he was not the kind of man to do things accidentally.

Don is not that kind of person....I have known him for a few years from the forums and had many conversations with him through PM.
He is an honest, good person who is more than willing to share and help others, without his efforts we would be years behind from where we are now.

The reason for this in my opinion is that if you know how to engineer it to the correct specifications you do not need a variable inductor. I truly think that he did this to show us people who are trying to replicate it that you need to tune that particular inductor. So basically it's a very simple diagram saying "hey dummy try this and see what happens"
Anyway, just some food for thought.
Keep up the good discussion. We will get there. It's all going to take time. God bless ~Russ
Something for you all to think about. On the note of the inductors being different values. One very interesting thing that you should recall in almost all the drawings is that you See a variable inductor on the negative side. Why is it that Stan has a variable inductor in the drawings? Have you ever seen one of his devices with a variable inductor? The answer is no.Quote from HMS-776 on March 18th, 2012, 01:59 PM What do you guys think about the chokes being different values?

If you read the tech brief p3-10 Memo WFC 422 DA about variable inductor coil, he makes it clear why it is tunable. Movable wiper arm fine tunes "resonant action" during pulsing operations. The relationship between them, electrically balances the opposite electrical potential across voltage zone.
Yes, it is not physical tunable with a dial, it has a tuned fixed relationship.

Hi,Quote from ~Russ/Rwg42985 on March 21st, 2012, 03:27 AM Something for you all to think about. On the note of the inductors being different values. One very interesting thing that you should recall in almost all the drawings is that you See a variable inductor on the negative side. Why is it that Stan has a variable inductor in the drawings? Have you ever seen one of his devices with a variable inductor? The answer is no.Quote from HMS-776 on March 18th, 2012, 01:59 PM What do you guys think about the chokes being different values?
When Don had the VIC's in his posession he said they were "hand wound and not precision at all"
The difference of the choke coils is about 767 inches. With a median circumference of about 4.18" this turns out to be a difference of around 180 turns. If someone was hand winding these coils and not paying attention I could see how this could happen....Especially after you have wound a few....
In all of Meyer's other designs he always states the chokes are bifilar wound in equal length.
However, in Meyer's early drawings he shows a variable choke on the negative side?
I wonder if there is a specific ratio between the two choke values or if they are supposed to be equal?
The reason for this in my opinion is that if you know how to engineer it to the correct specifications you do not need a variable inductor. I truly think that he did this to show us people who are trying to replicate it that you need to tune that particular inductor. So basically it's a very simple diagram saying "hey dummy try this and see what happens"
Anyway, just some food for thought.
Keep up the good discussion. We will get there. It's all going to take time. God bless ~Russ

I agree. That is corect. But again, just another thing to think about.Quote from Webmug on March 21st, 2012, 04:01 AM Hi,Quote from ~Russ/Rwg42985 on March 21st, 2012, 03:27 AM Something for you all to think about.
