darkspeed	Anomalous voltage increase « on: 2010-01-31, 06:16:32 »
Group: Guest	Today I did some experiments to see what the influence magnets have on a coils flyback. To keep this short I will focus on the only way I found that increased the flyback voltage. The best result was placing a 2" cube neo on both sides of a coils soft iron core : SN \| SN \| SN I connected a 12vdc car battery to an IRF840 switching the positive line. I drove the IRF840 directly with a 10v square wave from an HP Function Generator at 5000hz Bear in mind the IRF840 has an internal free wheeling diode.. I placed a Pearson wide band current probe in line with the coil and a x100 probe across the coil. From my tests it looks like there is a significant voltage increase with the magnets present in the SN \| SN \| SN setup SN \| NS \| SN and SN \| SN \| NS both decreased the flyback voltage. coil 1: 20 awg high ohm coil on soft iron core 168v without magnets 212v with magnets 44v increase coil 2: 20 awg low ohm coil on soft iron core 395v without magnets 540v with magnets 145v increase At certain frequencies below 5000hz there were some anomalous current spikes that I need to go back and look at, in fact one killed two of the mosfets. Anyone want to independently verify these results??? NOTE: This requires a really solid mounting for the 2" neo cubes and big neos are very dangerous to work with! Be careful!! Thanks..

Group: Administrator Hero Member Posts: 3867	Hi ds Sounds interesting, yes i would be up for a rep, but will need to order some magnets to try, but first i need to get my current stuff sorted, i have loads on at the moment. Those are large magnets, can it be scaled down a bit maybe 1 inch square magnets. anyway sounds interesting, keep at it. Peter

Full Member Posts: 209	Hello darkspeed This sounds very interesting! I have a question, what did the amperage do? Did the draw decrease or increase when using the neos? Also did the current change on the output in any significant way?

Group: Guest	Peter, I will try it with the next smaller neos I have ( 1 x 0.75 cylinders ) and see if I get anything..

Group: Guest	stprue, I kept the current probe visible on one of the scope channels and since the coil is firing with the neos and not against them there was no additional current draw in the coil. The only strange current issues were the random current spikes below 5000hz. Im going to do some more work on it today

Group: Administrator Hero Member Posts: 3867	ds What are your core dimensions and how many turns was your coil.

Group: Guest	Core is a 17mm x 17mm x 75mm soft iron core.. I will have to go measure the windings as these were a couple of coils i pulled off the shelf that I had built a while back. The only part of the event that is opposing the polarity of the setup is the flyback and I am not sure why a static opposing magnetic field increases the energy in a flyback event??

Group: Guest	I just started from scratch with a different coil / different HP / different scope and was able to reproduce the results I also just had a friend report that he could get the same results. Is this a known effect that I somehow just missed before?? Anyone know of this?? Iv been working with earplugs all day because the 5-6khz tone will rive you insane.. « Last Edit: 2010-02-01, 00:00:18 by darkspeed »

Group: Guest	Darkspeed: You may be a bit surprised to learn that the magnitude of the spikes has nothing directly to do with the magnets. Somehow the magnets are causing secondary effects that are influencing the main parameters that affect the maximum spike voltage. The first parameter is the amount of current flowing through your coil. There is no need to switch the square wave to the MOSFET gate at 5 or 10 KHz. Try 50 Hz instead. This will likely ensure that you have the maximum possible current running through your coil when you switch the MOSFET off and you will not go insane from the high frequencies that you are suffering though now. The second parameter is the speed the MOSFET switches off. The cleaner and sharper you can make your square wave to the gate the higher the spike voltages you will get. The third parameter is the inductance of your coil, the higher the inductance the higher the voltage spike. Your external magnets are somehow affecting the above three parameters to give you increased voltage on your spikes. The formula for the spike voltage is v = L di/dt. You should try searching on that. Careful if you start tuning and getting higher and higher spikes I assume that you will likely blow your MOSFET. MileHigh

Group: Guest	Thanks MileHigh! That reminded me to do something I forgot to do... remeasure the inductance with the magnets in place.. That may be effecting it.. I will check it out.. The best result so far has been feeding the HP through a Wavetek so I could adjust the duty cycle. Setting it to 5khz on the HP and 10us on the Wavetek, then inverting the output, so 5000 times per second the mosfet turns off for 10us

Group: Guest	Ok.. Now I feel like an idiot.. I was not expecting it to change the resistance of the coil.. Resistance without magnets 2.54ohm @ 100hz / 93.69ohm @ 10khz Resistance with magnets 1.93ohm @ 100hz / 43.14ohm @ 10khz Inductance without magnets 9.268mh @ 100hz / 2.5528mh @ 10khz Inductance with magnets 3.844mh @ 100hz / 1.2589mh @ 10khz The resistance and the inductance drops with the magnets

Group: Tinkerer Hero Member Posts: 3934 tExB=qr	Cyril Smith (PhD. Physics? - he's associated with MPI) posted something about this a few years ago. Might be in one his articles here: http://74.125.113.132/search?q=cache:SAeqsKBrsqUJ:jnaudin.free.fr/html/meg.htm+cyril+smith+magnet+coil&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Is the inducatance and resistance different with the polarity of the magnets reversed? (I see that the differences with and without the magnet are nonlinear.)

Group: Elite Hero Member Posts: 3537 It's turtles all the way down	Quote The resistance and the inductance drops with the magnets Generally we speak of resistance at a particular frequency as "impedance", otherwise some might get confused and infer an actual change in DC resistance with the magnets. This is not the case. Nice to see that your inductance bridge allows excitation frequency selection, makes impedance plots easier. --------------------------- "Secrecy, secret societies and secret groups have always been repugnant to a free and open society"......John F Kennedy

I tried that and both the resistance and inductance stays the same when i switch polarity... but with opposing magnets on each side both rise.. got me really thinking about the orbo and how this works in a toroid

I'm talking about how the magneici effects the impedance and inductance I wonder if it will effect the permittivity of a dielectric? Hmm - got a doorknob or other plate cap around?
