SQM Replication Project Update 21-10-05.

Below in the three pictures we can see I have modified a Light Dimmer to use the trigger from the Triac and route it off to trigger the SCR. These sets of experiments were partly successful but a few small problems were encountered. Occasionally the SCR would still latch. This was very important in our progress in the SQM Replication because it was good to see the circuit work. It is in my opinion this is almost exactly the same circuit, nearly part for part, as in the video with Mr Bearden and Mr Sweet.  The trick in this circuit is to try to use a triac that has a high switching value as many triacs have a low value and will switch before the SCR will switch thus not switching the SCR at all. At least that's what I found, (Some triacs switch the SCR better than others and some don't switch the SCR at all). The value will be modified by the circuit any way so a fine balance is a little bit difficult. In all my experience over this year I really think if anything is going to be successful then a high power IGBT is going to well out perform the SCR in the control of what we are trying to do.

Warning: There is high voltage from the mains here in this circuit and it is very dangerous. We are not responsible for injury to ones self if this circuit is attempted.

Below is where I decided to take a step back and try to figure out the SQM before the Magnets were reported to be conditioned. I had some alloy brackets made up and I shaped them to the sizes I wanted. The idea is to use two axis to try to generate some output and try to achieve the 6 Watts that was reported.  The alloy tube is 25mm x 25mm and welded in a rectangle. I had end plates welded on the ends at right angles. When I shaped the jig I cut the side rails down to 20mm x 25mm and the end plates were cut down to 9mm. The jig will fit inside the Alloy tube we have shown in previous updates but not shown here.

Here I have made a core in the centre but it can be removed if need be. The core cant really be seen here but it is made from fine crushed ferrite and epoxy resin is the binder. The coil on the jig at the moment is BiFilar wound and is nearly 400 turns. Next is to turn a coil on the 90 degree axis to the coil you can see here. This is interesting because remember there was 6 Watts reported in Mr Sweets unit before the conditioning and if any sence is to be made of the SQM before the conditioning this should give some output or at least a variant of this setup.

Here a coil is would on the 90 Degree axis. The coil is 0.9mm gauge and is 480 turns and measures nearly 3 ohms.

This unit gives me 1 volt AC out with 18 volts in. I did not even measure the Amps as there is no point because we don't have what we want. We want to be able to control the flux here and attempt to shield the smaller coil inside the jig with the outside coil. As Mr Sweet explains in his paper we cant cut the flux we can only move it, ``time varying flux modulation'' is the actual quote from the paper "Nothing is Something".

Well more coming soon.
