Instrument Controls & Calibration Technician/ Industrial Electrician

Started in earnest with an Associates Degree and continued studying while working my first job in Communications. Cut my teeth on Land Mobile Radio's, went on into TV's and VCR's. Switched off and worked as first class helper in Instrument Controls and Calibration on Construction and followed it for years. Also have about 7500 hours as an Industrial Electrician. Usually worked 7/12 when possible. Went to Kuwait in July 1997 as a Field Engineer with Fluor International. Was disabled in a Tractor Accident in June 2005. Currently live in the Beautiful Hills of Southern Middle TN. Own a Computer Repair Shop and run it out of my Electronics Shop in my basement. I am constantly looking for new ideas and experimenting with circuits and other sometimes hair brained ideas. Take my Electronics and Electricity away from me and I'm ready to cross over. I live and breathe Electronics but don't have anyone else to talk shop that understands Electronics. Open to ideas, criticism and to give or take advice. No Mushroom Clouds ~ YET!

Voltage Multiplier

Posted Jan 17, 2012 at 10:42 pm

Project Summary

It's not your standard Voltage Multiplier. It another one of my experiments ~ If a car ignition coil can build 40-60 KVDC when the 12 volts is allowed to fall in on the secondary winding what will it build with 170VDC on the primary and switched off? 5,666,666,670 VDC on a Calculator. Something tells me it want get that high in field tests, or at least I hope not. Will start at 12 VDC and build up, have three differ value resistors for HV probe on meter. Going to try to measure it and see what happens when it saturates or blows up [Hey Yau'll watch this]!!! Will let yea know I HOPE!!!! PROJECT# 2 Still mostly in my head but have all equipment to build it except shielding. Take 2.6 GHz from the Megathron of a Microwave Oven and inject it onto my Lincoln Stick Welder. Using two Microwave Oven Diodes as buffers but still needs a little (lot) more Math put into the interface stage. Just wonder what (if anything) it will do?
