“Tiny Orbo Replication 2″ update
A quick history of the “Tiny Orbo Replication 2″ circuit designs. Initially my circuits were about using the energy stored in the inductance from the toroid to sustain the current pulse long enough. It turns out the coil wire resistance is too high, as the current decays too fast. So that took me back to my original idea of using a small voltage from a battery or supercapacitor to sustain *help* sustain the current pulse. Great idea, but difficult for me to design such a circuit that’s not messy, not requiring 3 to 4 batteries, etc.
This morning I completed a circuit for the “Tiny Orbo Replication 2″ that I like, that uses a small voltage, ~ 0.35 volts per toroid. So if I have two toroids, it would be 0.7 volts. All of my designs till this morning required 3 to 4 batteries or supercapacitors. The recent design finally works well, extremely low transistor losses, and requires only two supercapacitors.
So this new circuit will produce a square wave pulse where the current pulse remains flat and constant. If any circuit is going to produce a self-runner, it will be this circuit.
Probably on Tuesday I’ll build and test the circuit because my eyes are burning, and feel like I’ve been through a war due to nearly non-stop circuit design over the past week.
The circuit will be published as open-source when I can be certain it will remain open-source. Unfortunately the court systems do not acknowledge my website certifiable for Prior-art. Even WikiPedia.org is no longer viable for Prior-art. Although I’ve zipped the circuit, with password, for people to download. So that should be a great way to prove prior art while preventing a company from patenting it since they don’t have the password. When the time is right I’ll post the password for the zipped file –>
