For the last two weeks i have done a lot of testing with varios coil/watercap combinations and it seems that with whatever combination i try i only get selfresonance between the coils and no LC resonance at all. So eventhough i have a calculated LC resonance of about 1KHz i only see a resonant signal of about 14-15KHz with my coils, ... the choke-watercapacitor resonance is not there. It is as Russ and Dynodon also found, ... you can let out the water cell entirely and it will not influence anything. Since the pll range is from about 200Hz-5000Hz it will never lock in anyway with my current coils.
Anyway this leads me to the following two possibilities:
1) there is no LC resonance at all in the meyer system only between the three coils, we just need to lock in to the self resonance of the vic 'transformer' to get maximum voltage at the cell plates.
2) there is a need for LC resonance and we need to get the self resonance down, ... not sure how to achieve this
What are your thoughts/experiences about this?
