Hello, everyone.

Here are photos of my window motor and SSG replications.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]5212[/ATTACH]

Sorry about the quality of the photos, not much detail, but i can arrange
a decent photosession as to include any detail and post the photos here for
anyone who might be interested - questions and comments are welcome.

The window motor uses reflective optics (CNY70) to trigger two mosfet pairs
(IRF630 / IRFI9540) in a bipolar sequential circuit.

The SSG has a timing wheel with small magnets and a reed contact triggering
a single pair of mosfets of the same kind as above.

When the rotors get up to speed, the neon indicators have a bright pink glow
(which i simply adore) and a small capacitor of a few microfarads will almost
instantly charge to about 150 volts and will get to about 250 volts in a second or two.

So far i've used them to charge (with radiant): sulfated lead acid batteries, Ni-Cd
and Ni-Mh accumulators, even non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and button
cells will accept the charge if they are not totally gone already.

Zinc-carbon cells: not really useful, possibly because of electrode depletion.

Li-ion cells: tried with a few phone batteries and they will charge but i simply don't
like these since i had one explode in my hand once - the sound and light (BANG & FLAME)
were not very dramatic, but the fumes were an instant nightmare to my eyes and lungs,
which lasted about two days, so i simply avoid them (ONE time bitten, forever shy).

Next step is the cap-pulser, i read that the simple version with SCR and zener
tends to latch-up.

Would an SCR with a higher holding current solve this?
I've watched the EFTW series videos and saw Mr. Bedini use it succesfully so
i guess there is a way to make it tick.

Otherwise i'll just build the comparator version and avoid the dilemma,
i'll have to experiment with it anyway so why not try both versions...

Ok, i think this post is getting a bit lenghty, so i'll wrap it up
with a big THANK YOU to John Bedini, Joseph Newman, Edwin Gray,
Thomas Barden, Nikola Tesla and everyone else who told us how to do it.

Respect and regards.

Hi F.W.A.N.O,
First of all, Great and neat work....wonder about the functional parameters of your set up...any OU characteristics??
Rgds,
