Saturable Reactor Fun

[@Keith-g2b]

You learn something new every day! Nice vid

[@louco2]

Thank you for taking the time to this video!!

Cool demo D! Would love to see the magnetic audio amp.

[@LawpickingLocksmith]

Looks like my workshop but main thing is you know what you do!

[@w1ngsfly]

@@LawpickingLocksmith haha, thanks! Ultimately I think the most important is having fun. I don't always know what I'm doing, but that's okay, I'm here to find things out because they're fascinating.

Realmente Maravillosa tu explicación. Si por favor instruyenos sobre un Amplificadir magnetico para audio y música, por favor por favor, yo al menos te estaría altamente agradecido con un "audio/music Mag Amp" ademas soy guitarrista ( no ingeniero) y necesito algo de ayuda con esto claro, Además sería un gran acierto si lo hicieras y mucha gente estaría encantada con ello, seguro. Aunque ya has comentado que lo estas pensando y desarrollando, yo llevo mucho tiempo pensándolo, y probando pero aún no lo he conseguido hacer funcionar. Mi mayor duda es si hay que alimentarlo en el primario (control DC) con uns fuente de energía dc por ejemplo de 12v ademas de la fuente de señal de audio, supongo que si. Para mi es algo complejo, pero necesito fijar un circuito funcional, Ante todo enhorabuena por tan excelente video y pir abordar el tema que mas me interesa de todo KZbin 😅

I have been tinkering with the same thing! I have been winding my own and testing So please go on and on!!

[@mohamedlanjri]

Great video, congrats. I'd love to see the schematic of it, it's quite hard to see how have you connected all that.

[@w1ngsfly]

I did another video today with some description and a drawing of what's going on. Sorry it's so long and meandering! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHvVYaZqa5xrZ7s

[@jihellechat1785]

Schematics would have been great. You should also consider buying a tripod for the cam, I got seasick in the end...

[@w1ngsfly]

@@jihellechat1785 I do these because I enjoy it for myself. If you don't like them, it so happens there are one or two other videos on the KZbin platform to check out.

Could one use a zx7-400/428 amorphous core transformer for an egs002 based inverter board? Its an h bridge mosfet switch, needing approximately 28v to convert to mains which can ba 120v x2 in a symmetric center tapped configuration (literally tap the center of it). The turn ratio is about 38:4 which works out well for the conversions, BUT is only 4 turns adequate, I dont know how the losses occur with not only thw winding Ratio but the number of winds themself. Probably has to depend on the magnetic saturability of the core. So its amorphous it can take 400a with 20 percent duty cycle i guess. Thick wires, COULD it work for the inverter boards you think?

Congratulations for publishing the most confused video on KZbin even though I have extensive electronic knowledge and knowledge of what you're trying to do I still couldn't figure out what you're Doing. An explanation with a drawing will go a long way to make this rather simple system easy to understand.

@@johnyoungquist6540 nothing stopping you from making your own less confusing video 🥰

[@electrowizard2000]

Yeah agreed. And he's rude too. Unsubbed.

[@w1ngsfly]

@@electrowizard2000 I save my rudeness for those who have it coming to them; why waste it on anyone else?

[@nickhuwar7920]

That saturable reactor is huge. Did you have that made or did you scrounge it from something?

[@w1ngsfly]

I pulled that out of an arc spectrometer that was used for examining geological samples.

[@nickhuwar7920]

@@w1ngsfly lucky you. They are a cool device to have.

[@w1ngsfly]

@@nickhuwar7920 You can make your own with a pair of conventional transformers :)

[@davidfalconer8913]

The saturable reactor 😝is often underestimated by modern electronic designers ............. DAVE™🛑

Schematics, embedded views of measurements. Competent engineer, incompetent youtuber.

I'll take my youtube incompetence over your social incompetence any day 🤣
