@Handyman20203 ай бұрын
There are some considerations to take into account. Don't just use any little rinky dink two wheel dolly, it needs to be heavy duty. Also I have a U shaped steel that hooks into the frame to keep the mower from sliding off. Finally the angle of the mower when lifted will be on the back side of the dolly wheels to apply the weight. It should be fairly hard to lift the dolly to lower the mower back down. Must be safe to avoid an accident. Thanks for your positive comment.

What is the estimated output in joules? Thanks!
@Handyman20209 ай бұрын
I'm not really sure how much energy in joules the charger puts out or how to calculate it. Judging by the length of the spark and the noise of the discharge I would say it is quite large.
@NCF87109 ай бұрын
Thanks for your reply. I looked into using an automotive ignition coil for this type of application. The output voltage is generated when the coil primary is interrupted. This causes an abrupt collapse of the magnetic field within the coil which in turn induces a high voltage in the secondary. This voltage can be about 20 kV. By the looks of your spark, you are getting all of that. Commercial fence chargers use a capacitor to store a charge which is then connected across the primary of a transformer via an SCR. The stored joules can be calculated from the capacitance and the charge voltage. The output joules is somewhat less due to losses within the output transformer and the SCR. In your case, the ignition coil is the energy storage device. The output power is determined by the ignition coil used. I expect the shock delivered by your system would be quite severe. Thanks again! @@Handyman2020

@Handyman202010 ай бұрын
The old fence chargers used a High Voltage transformer and a relay or other pulsing device to energize the transformer momentarily . A bad design in my opinion. The newer chargers are easier to build and more efficient.

@@Handyman2020 Agreed. Here is what I am actually trying to do. I want to fill a capacitor at 2000 volts and then chop it with a thyristor to get varying frequencies. Probably 120 hertz or even 60 hertz to be able to use a microwave oven transformer to take back down to 120 volts with some amps with the resonant capacitor.
@Handyman202010 ай бұрын
Not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but I do not know of a thyristor that can handle the 2K voltage directly.@@johnkoury1116
@johnkoury111610 ай бұрын
@@Handyman2020 When you raise voltage and frequency you can fill a capacitor very quickly. Then you can chop it to 60hz and run it through a microwave oven transformer with a resonant capacitor. This is essentially an inverter system that will enable you to take a 12 volt battery and if you use resonance to make the draw negligible to produce the electrical disturbance then you have done something similar to collecting solar energy and converting it.

@Handyman2020 Жыл бұрын
Each zero turn is built differently and you would have to design the lift to accommodate that particular mower. The lift extension is fastened to the lip and the axle of the 2 wheel dolly. Also you have to provision the end of the lift so it will lock into the mower to prevent the mower from slipping off.
