PLANNING A PULSE GENERATOR
I want to go a little further, and have to make a PULSE GENERATOR.
| This is an A-stable Multivibrator with NE555.
C = 5 Nf I will make R1 VARIABLE, so I cane adjust the frequency. R1 at MAX = very slow speed VCC = 5 to 15 Volt plus
|
As you see, the output from the
generator is square form.
This signal I have to boost to some level of power, about 1 Amp. true the coil
L, and for that I
use
a STANDARD POWER transistor, 2N3055.
![]() Rg = 100 Ohm l = Solenoid Vdd = 6 - 12 Volt ( about 1 Amp ) |
I don't want to kill the
transistor,
so I mount it on a cooling-device.
The transistor can run away by overheating and self-oscillation.
I also use a homemade variable power supply with current limiter set to 1 Amp.

| Test setup of 2N3055 | |
| Frequensy = 52 Hz. | |

frequensy on the Oscilloscope.
I must try to do it better. |
My next step will be making this, or something like this: ( Draw by EAGLE )

| To begin with, I will feed it from a variable supply so I can adjust it to about 1 Amp. current true the coils, so depending on the coils, I would reduce the volt and raise it until i have 1 Amp. flooding true both the coils. The 12 Volt regulator may have to end up to be a 24 Volt regulator, but is easily to change. |

And so on... Come BACK to se the final construction...
