after stepping away, to look at another unfruitfull project, I am back at it.
again with the L4 in series with L3
L3 parallel tuned with around 11nF
L2 series tuned with 61nF
L1 parallel with 9x68pF to slow the impulse down from 180ns to 283.2 ns (which lowers the voltage supplied, and increases the current supplied, not ideal)
This time to tune the L1 impulse (super imposed on L2 primary) to L4 extra coil again.
L1 L2 close coupled, L2 L3 loose coupled (15mm) L3 L4 close coupled.
L1 at first was bifilar, but I could not see L4 rippling, which I needed to measure its frequency. So I can make L3/L2 a sub harmonic.
So I made L1 unifilar, which made the impulse much faster. Now I can see L4 rippling again, because for this to work,. the impulse needs to be faster than L4.
scope shots are from this measurement. F=155.5kc/s
Then I remembered, again, I already had tuned the L4 and L1 coil to perfectly match.
So Now I need to make L1 bifilar again. and tune L2 L3 to the L4 subharmonic.
scr208 shows in yellow the L2 with impulse (and ring because the impulse is too fast)
scr209 shows the L4 ripple frequency around 1343.63 kc/s (728ns)
scr210 show L4 half wave=388.8ns which the L1 impulse should match (or be quicker)
scr211 shows L1 impulse which is now 283.2ns so it is faster than L4 which is good. but I needed a lot of capacity to slow unifilar L1 down, this is with 9x68pF in parallel to L1
From My earlier test today with the bifilar L1 I measured it to be around 380ns (from memory) I will measure again when resoldered.
L4 subharmonics:
8th=167.95 kc/s
9th=149.29 kc/s
10th=134.36 kc/s
11th=122.15 kc/s
12th=111.97 kc/s
13th=103.36 kc/s
further down it will because a bigger error, due to the measurement error of L4 ripple.
