RE: Magnifier conversion - pinger



Original poster: "Terry Fritz" <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>

Hi All,

I played with the resistances some to sort of match the measured Q's

The peaks in the graph represent Q in this case.  It appears that for the 
conventional coil the secondary system resistance is about 180 ohms.  When 
the  third coil is raised into the magnifier configuration, that seems to 
drop to about 120 ohms, but now we have about 45 ohms added for the 
secondary.  I don't worry too much about exact values here since Q is a 
fleeting value as the QVAR testing showed.

The resistances are mixed coil and circulating losses.  It would be nice to 
be able to measure the real coil resistances.  This was going on E-bay for 
$0.99 but I bet it will fly out of my price range pretty quick ;-))

I may also be able to hook up something like it will all my stuff 
here.  That would allow be to define coil losses from losses in the area 
around the coil.

One thing I noticed that was interesting was that the no-C2 capacitor case 
has two well defined peaks where the conventional coil and C2 magnifier 
only have one peak.

Not sure if that means anything but it was an obvious difference in the 
systems.

Cheers,
