Small DRSSTC
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2013 1:27 pm
Hi everyone,
While the oneTesla boards/kits are in the process of being shipped, I had the opportunity to build a DRSSTC based on an older iteration (one of the test boards) of oneTesla. I also built a different enclosure by myself, as well as a hand-made foam toroid wrapped with foil.
Here are the critical specifications. The main electronics are the same as oneTesla:
- 10.5 inch x 2.5 inch secondary. AWG 36.
- 6 turns of AWG 14 primary, 3.5 inch diameter.
- 60N60SMD Halfbridge
- Currently running on a oneTesla MIDI Interrupter (45 to ~150us on time)
- 8 inch x 2.5 inch foam toroid
- Resonant Frequency ~220kHz
- 3kV 68nF 942CDE Tank Capacitor
I'm currently using a borrowed secondary coil. I've just wound a new secondary coil and will install in soon. Right now, I'll be working on a new interrupter with adjustable pulsewidth (independent of MIDI). Attached are photographs of the current coil in action. More construction details to come soon.
Many thanks to Kramnik, Bayley and Heidi for help on construction details, suggestions, tips and of course the oneTesla board/components.
