As I explained to Keith in an Email, When using MicrowaveTransformers for Inverters, You need to Permentally remove the SHUNT Laminates, as shown here. If you don't, You will get POOR EFFICIENCY, as they cause the transformer to Saturate at higher power.

That is right, I was trying to go from memory, just shows I can't remember very well either. I would be interested in both your boards and supplies to make them. I need price with shipping and insurance to 49644 Michigan USA and an address for paypal or mail. I have looked at Richard's board for some time but found the other controller and knew making the board was beyond my capabilities. I would like to know more about making/using the "Nichrome" wire also. Gary, I am sending you an email concerning PWM. THANK YOU BOTH, Phil I will see about Revising that Circuit, After I complete the project that I am Presently working on. Nichrome Wire is the Heating Element Wire that is Commonly used in MOST Heating Elements. (such as Irons, Baseboard Heaters, Hot plates, Electric Hot water Tanks, Kitchen Stoves, ETC.) It comes in Various wire Gauges, Wattage ratings and also Different Resistances per foot. In Use, It usually Glows RED HOT.

For a PROPER Efficient Stun Gun to give a Good Output, it needs to PULSE the Output, With Short, High Current Pulses.
A Voltage Multiplier DOESN'T Do That. (It gives a Continuous DC Output.)
A Car Ignition Coil or a Flyback, Also Wont work very good. Neither of them are capable of giving the High Current Pulses.
And Your Pictures Don't show the Required Pulse generating Circuit, Between the output of T1 and T1.

Alone Live Output? Sorry I Don't understand!

Gary, Cool about the board. I was referring to Richard's post on the resistors he mentioned in a post 2,3,4 ? ago about load. (1/2 watt 300 ohm) instead of heater. THANK YOU, Phil It SAYS: 1/2 OHM, 300 Watt Resistors!NOT 1/2 Watt 300 Ohm. BIG DIFFERENCE HERE. A piece of "Nichrome" wire, (possibly from an old Hotplate) could be used for this. But you need some Porcelain Insulators and Good Air Flow. Gary

It'll hafta really kick butt to beat the improved zero model shown on the Chemelec site. IT DOES! Brent, In December!

I would like one of the boards as I am unable to do the etching and such, I am alright with the soldering part and the 1 watt 300-500 resistors please let me know how to get ahold of you. Gary I would like to know the best way you have around the relay setup, or have you got another kit idea in mind! THANKS for all the help guys. Phil Hi Phil, I never persued this any further as it seems no one was interested. But I guess I could design up a board for it. Sorry am I Missing Something? (Re: 1 Watt 300 to 500 resistors?) Not sure What that refers to?

When you got nothing to do, fill your pockets with "NE-2" lamps and go walk around a commercial broadcast transmitter at night and watch your pockets light up like crazy. Good old electromagnetic energy. Welcome aboard! More Like "Electrostatic" energy.

"One could modify the circuit to use solid state switching instead of a relay , but that would require re- arranging the circuit board to allow for a beefy heat sink. Relays may be low tech, but they are easy to replace, if damaged". rmeyn
With some of the Newer Mosfets, it wouldn't require a very big Heatsink. Replacement is also Easy if needed. And overall Cost is Much lower.

The Problem with All these Claims is Mis-Information.
TYPICALLY: IF the person Doesn't tune up his vehicle BEFORE adding the Hydrogen, or installing these Effie Devices, They can get Large Gains.
But IF they DO tune up there vehicle Before hand, they usually get Little to NO Gains. Sometimes Losses, like yours.

There is Nothing Strange about this. Air is a Conductor, Especially at High Voltages. You might also read up on "Corona Discharge".
Besides, A Neon Bulb is a Very Sensitive device and it light up with currents even in the Pico-Amp range.

With a Slight Modification, You could Eliminate the Relay completely.

I know that. The point I was making is that with a cheap meter one can now make accurate readings. That still Depends on What your measuring? High Impedance circuit can still give considerable errors. Such as a 10 Meg resistor or higher value to the gate of a fet. Reguardless of weither its an old 20K Ohm Multimeter or a 10M ohm DMM, it always important to consider the circuit values and configuration.

Yes they are mostly in the 10 Meg range, But for this test it is Important to Know the Exact resistance.

Welcome Martin.
Yes, Languages are a problem.
It is Not that I don't respect other persons languages, But I need to monitor this forum for Improper Postings, so I need to be able to read the posts. Sorry I don't speak Spanish.
Take care Gary
PS: I plan to be in Argentina Around Next Christmas (2009) on a Holiday. Also going to Chile and Brazil.
