Other than your vice moving around and the wires not staying put, this is a very helpful video. Thanks for making it.
So attached, I have a shot of the final wind with the wires enumerated. Can you describe how they hook-up or simplify down to just four wires? Are #2 and #3 hidden?
@Matt Watts
No they are visible and together. There are 5 connections just like in his last video except that in the last video he is pulsing the two ends each with one mosfet and the center tap is going somewhere that I have not mapped but the center tap needs constant + so the 2 end mosfets can switch in and out, either together or at a slight delay.
@all
The new wind method now explains to me why in the AK30 the top 5 /12 turns coil wire color was slightly beige compared to the wire underneath it. It's because they were two winds in bucking mode with center tap. That was not in the schematic.
The AK30 board shows a SemiSouth type mosfet so why did he indicate IRF3205. I have a few of these on hand. If I remember correctly these types do not have an internal diode. There is no resemblance whatsoever to the IRF3205.
My main question is when you guys started looking at the schematic to plan out these circuit boards, didn't anyone look at the actual board or did you guys just rely on the AK30 schematic? I kind of tuned out during the very demanding pages of circuit elaboration (was and still am on the FTPU) but maybe I should have taken more steps to stop you guys and make sure the board coincides with the schematic way before a circuit was designed. Don't get me wrong because I am not blaming anyone but myself but man oh man, the things we have to go through to make a few extra watts. hahaha
If Akula schematics cannot be trusted, then when do we know what to trust and what not to trust? Things like the TL4941N may not even be used on his board because when you look at the peripherals and what is going to the pins, they do not match the schematic. Plus why did he scratch out the IC number and then tell us it is a TL4941N in the schematic?
@T1000 indicated that Akula had a contract and was held to an NDC so this is why he is just playing around with these other designs for what? What is the use of showing designs, providing inconsistent schematics and all the rest of this whole thing if he will not take 10 minutes to talk in direct terms about the builds.
If the schematic has so many inconsistencies compared to the board, then we must also consider that Akula could have provided the schematic with values that would ensure builders are at 300KHz or below and that duty cannot be controlled as well. That ensures him the publicity he is obviously looking for while we would never get it since in my experience, such devices can "resonate" at lower frequencies, yes, but only to a small percentage of its potential. At only 5 1/2 or 11 turns L1 puling most probably in the 1-5 MHz range will this device really come to life, but we would never know it. So we have to chuck out the schematic, produce the Ecore as we now know, use the general schematic for the ecore side and run it via a mosfet and an FG that can get much higher switching in order to find the proper self-running frequency.
But please guys, let's not lose heart and keep concentrated on the build and figure this to together because I do not have the talent to do it alone but I do have the analytical skills to figure out the functionality.
Like this next point: Look at C11 the R1 0.22 resistor and the C2 100n cap. Why the hell is that C2 cap there? Seems to me with C11 already there, there is no need for C2. What can C2 do more then C11? But if between R1/C2 and L1, there was a PNP mosfet switching that front end of L1, maybe C2 would then have a use but since Akula took that out of the schematic, he had to patch up that part as he did. Does this make any sense to the more proficient OUers here?
So next damn damn damn damn step is to map the official circuit board to the schematic and see where Akula deviated from reality so we would just be thrown off the real effect.
