Re: simple design thermal wattmeter ?

my latest epoxy an LM35 on the output measuring resistor using temp on pure resistive load and reliable power source. input with constant voltage constant current ex:5V @ 10mA directly to the resistor with lm35 so the temp is over ambient. now insert the joule thief and see if the heat rises signifi...

Re: simple design thermal wattmeter ?

Dyarker, its all good, sometimes we have to be pointed in our post. To Bob Scott, He says according to the BYU fancy state of the art oscilloscope tektronics 3032 it integrated the area under the wave and it says the power is 7.9 times the input. Also there is report that the stinking fancy oscillos...

Re: simple design thermal wattmeter ?

Thankyou Robert, The bolometer idea is helpful, there are so many. The compensated thermistor bridge looks promising while other types are possibly too sensitive, the radar type would need some scaling some are very elaborate and expensive at first look it seems complex. I am wondering if an RF type...

Re: simple design thermal wattmeter ?

Maybe I should start over, maybe thermal watt meter is'nt what a replicator needs. For a frequency I see the author Steven Jones tektronix 3032 ch1 3.926 Mhz ch2 37.1 Mhz scope shots http://pesn.com/2011/05/27/9501835_Steven_E_Jones_demonstrates_overunity_circuit/Tektronix_8xOU_79mV_full_redu.jpg It...

simple design thermal wattmeter ?

Hi, I need your help for a design of a thermal wattmeter. It is needed to measure output power of complex waveforms. such as dc pulse, trapazoid, and variants while most of the oscillators are typically 1 inch (49mm) toroid coupled to negative resistor some do do not use NR as load. The the insertio...

Re: Winding a Toroidal Ferrite Core

The square edges could mean it was intended for coating. Always put a radius, dremels work. once or twice around with plummers teflon tape is super. Depending on the end use. For simplicity the larger gauge and gently flatten with small rubber mallet as you go. gaps may not be good Test wrap 10 turn...

Re: Secret to using pure carbide drill bits revealed

my dremel is permanently mounted on an aluminum drill press stand. I added two 1/2 inch round rods mounted upright near the back of the base plate and a hardwood 1 X 2 has two holes for the rods. This reinforces the dremel for straight up and down motion. I rarely break drill bits now unless I come ...

Re: Inductors for Receiver

for a lowfer receiver you don't need heavy coil.
there are alot of misguided radio designs on the internet.

Re: 3 Phase 110 VAC 1/4 horse power motor

You can make three phase 117VAC you can use a 4017 and diode mixer or opamps to make a 3 phase signal. rectify the 117VAC feed the signal to appropriate transistors. The reason you don't see too many of these converters is a big 3 phase motor needs to be in phase with 60 hertz vac It has been proven...

Re: Electrostatic problems

you could build a sensitive electrometer such as 9V battery jfet led. this is used like a sniffer to find where the buildup is. The fuzzy stuff (static electricity) likes to swarm in and around the inputs. I have had some success by adding small ferrite rings on signal inputs. I sometimes prefer bui...

Re: Automotive back-up alarm circuit

A successful design is one that is functional and is comfortable to listen to for the driver. for some a tone whose intensity increases as the rear bumper approaches some object. An IR light and infra red sensor could be used to do this. Or the good ol ultrasonic emmitter/sensor. The design starts w...

Re: regulated mA

After using a variable power supply to make adjustments and the project is all trimmed then I try to find a walwart. The old lm317 and 15V 500mA walwart and pot is a minamal standard needed. I think its very handy and worthwhile in project design. most of the 9V I use are 300mA closer to a 9V batter...
