Zilano Design for "Reverse Tesla Coil" Free Energy Generator
Zilano Design for "Reverse Tesla Coil" Free Energy Generator Summary Document A for Beginners by Vrand Thank you Zilano for sharing your very interesting design and we all wish you the very best, keep up the good work! Energetic Forum http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/ This is a short document describing the work of Zilano as posted on the Don Smith Devices thread at the Energetic Forum so that other researchers can experiment and build their own working free energy generator to power their homes. Zilano stated that this design was based on the combination works of Don Smith, Tesla, Dynatron, Kapanadze and others. Design Summary Key points : - "Reverse Tesla Coil" (in this document) - Conversion of high frequency AC (35kHz) to 50-60Hz (not in this document) "Reverse Tesla Coil" is where the spark gap pulsed DC voltage from a 4000 volt (4kv) 30 kHz NST (neon sign transformer) goes into an air coil primary P of high inductance (80 turns thin wire) that then "steps down" the voltage to 240 volts AC a low inductance Secondary coil centered over the primary coil (5 turns bifilar, center tap, thick wire) with high amperage output. The high frequency (35kHz) AC output can then power loads (light bulbs) or can be rectified to DC to power DC loads. Copper coated welding rods can be inserted into the air coil to increase the inductance of the air coil primary that then increases the output amperage from the secondary coil to the loads. See the below diagram 1 : Parts List - NST 4KV 20-35KHZ - D1 high voltage diode - SG1 SG2 spark gaps - C1 primary tuning HV capacitor - P Primary of air coil, on 2" PVC tube, 80 turns of 6mm wire - S Secondary 3" coil over primary coil, 5 turns bifilar (5 turns CW & 5 turns CCW) of thick wire (up to 16mm) with center tap to ground. -
Flux-Balance Control for LLC Resonant Converters with Center-Tapped Transformers
energies Article Flux-Balance Control for LLC Resonant Converters with Center-Tapped Transformers Yuan-Chih Lin, Ding-Tang Chen and Ching-Jan Chen * Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan; No. 1, Sec. 4, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei 10617, Taiwan * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-2-3366-3366 (ext. 348) Received: 9 July 2019; Accepted: 19 August 2019; Published: 21 August 2019 Abstract: LLC resonant converters with center-tapped transformers are widely used. However, these converters suffer from a flux walking issue, which causes a larger output ripple and possible transformer saturation. In this paper, a flux-balance control strategy is proposed for resolving the flux walking issue. First, the DC magnetizing current generated due to the mismatched secondary-side leakage inductances, and its effects on the voltage gain are analyzed. From the analysis, the flux-balance control strategy, which is based on the original output-voltage control loop, is proposed. Since the DC magnetizing current is not easily measured, a current sensing strategy with a current estimator is proposed, which only requires one current sensor and is easy to estimate the DC magnetizing current. Finally, a simulation scheme and a hardware prototype with rated output power 200 W, input voltage 380 V, and output voltage 20 V is constructed for verification. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control strategy effectively reduces the DC magnetizing current and output voltage ripple at mismatched condition. Keywords: LLC resonant converter; center-tapped transformer; flux walking; flux-balance control loop; magnetizing current estimation 1. Introduction The LLC resonant converter is widely used in many different applications such as onboard chargers, server power systems, laptops, desktops, photovoltaic regeneration systems. -

Universal Motor - Construction, Working and Characteristics
Universal Motor - construction, working and characteristics. A universal motor is a special type of motor which is designed to run on either DC or single phase AC supply. These motors are generally series wound (armature and field winding are in series), and hence produce high starting torque (See characteristics of DC motors here). That is why, universal motors generally comes built into the device they are meant to drive. Most of the universal motors are designed to operate at higher speeds, exceeding 3500 RPM. They run at lower speed on AC supply than they run on DC supply of same voltage, due to the reactance voltage drop which is present in AC and not in DC. There are two basic types of universal motor : (i)compensated type and (ii) uncompensated type. Construction of Universal motor Construction of a universal motor is very similar to the construction of a DC machine. It consists of a stator on which field poles are mounted. Field coils are wound on the field poles. However, the whole magnetic path (stator field circuit and also armature) is laminated. Lamination is necessary to minimize the eddy currents which induce while operating on AC. The rotary armature is of wound type having straight or skewed slots and commutator with brushes resting on it. The commutation on AC is poorer than that for DC. because of the current induced in the armature coils. For that reason brushes used are having high resistance. Working of universal motor A universal motor works on either DC or single phase AC supply. When the universal motor is fed with a DC supply, it works as a DC series motor. -
UNIVERSAL MOTORS Universal Motor
UNIVERSAL MOTORS Universal motor The motors which can be used with a single phase AC source as well as a DC source of supply and voltages are called as Universal Motor. It is also known as Single Phase Series Motor. A universal motor is a commutation type motor. Construction of the universal motor The construction of the universal motor is same as that of the series motor. I n o rd e r t o m i n i m i z e t h e p ro b l e m o f commutation, high resistance brushes with increased brush area are used. To reduce Eddy current losses the stator core and yoke are laminated. The Universal motor is simple and less costly. It is used usually for rating not greater than 7 5 0 W . Characteristic of Universal motor The characteristic of Universal motor is similar to that of the DC series motor. When operating from an AC supply, the series motor develops less torque. By interchanging connections of the fields with respect to the armature, the direction of rotation can be altered. Universal motor T h e d i r e c t i o n o f t h e developed torque will re m a i n p o s i t i v e , a n d direction of the rotation will be as it was before. The nature of the torque will be pulsating, and the frequency will be twice that of line frequency as shown in the waveform. Universal motor Thus, a Universal motor can work on both AC and DC. -

Unit V Rectifiers, Block Oscillators and Timebase
RECTIFIERS • A rectifier is an electrical device that converts AC supply into unidirectional DC supply. • This process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) is also called as rectification. • These bridge rectifiers are available in different packages as modules ranging from few amperes to several hundred amperes. • Mostly in bridge rectifier circuits, semiconductor diode is used for converting AC since it allows the current flow in one direction only (Unidirectional device) Half Wave Rectifier •It is a simple type of rectifier made with single diode which is connected in series with load. • For small power levels this type of rectifier circuit is commonly used. •During the positive half of the AC input, diode becomes forward biased and currents starts flowing through it. •During the negative half of the AC input, diode becomes reverse biased and current stops flowing through it. •Because of high ripple content in the output, this type of rectifier is seldom used with pure resistive load. • The output DC voltage of a half wave rectifier can be calculated with the following two ideal equations Advantage •Simple circuit and low cost Disadvantage •The output current in the load contains, in addition to dc component, ac components of basic frequency equal to that of the input voltage frequency. •Ripple factor is high and an elaborate filtering is, therefore, required to give steady dc output. •The power output and, therefore, rectification efficiency is quite low. This is due to the fact that power is delivered only half the time. •Transformer Utilization Factor (TUF) is low. •DC saturation of transformer core resulting in magnetizing current and hysteresis losses and generation of harmonics. -
Brush DC Motor Runs Along Dan Jones, Incremotion Associates
TECHNICAL Brush DC Motor Runs Along Dan Jones, Incremotion Associates Everything started in 1800 when Volta developed the first DC battery. Fara- day used the DC battery to develop the first electric motor. It used brushes to transfer the battery voltage and cur- rent to the rotating disk rotor. This was in mid-1831. Thus was born the brush DC motor. Construction The slotted brush DC motor of today comes in two basic configurations: the wound field DC motor and the perma- nent magnet DC motor. The key parts of a DC motor include the armature (the rotating part), the field (either a cop- per winding or permanent magnet), and a mechanical commutation sys- tem consisting of a slotted commutator, mechanical brushes with copper wires connecting to outside terminals. The commutator is connected to various windings in a sequential pattern. The two brushes ride on the commutator to connect to the battery or outside power source via the terminals as shown in Figure 1. These brush DC motor types are called slotted or iron core types. Motor Operation The DC motor is the simplest motor type. Raise the input voltage and the motor speeds up. Lower the voltage and it reduces speed. Increase the mo- tor’s shaft load and shaft torque and armature current go up while the speed goes down. The permanent magnet DC motor is the most popular type, replac- ing the three wound field DC motors in many applications. Today the most Figure 1 Permanent magnet DC motor structure. popular wound field DC motor has an- other name—the universal motor—a separate motor type because it can be driven by AC and DC input power.
