Re: Racing Spark Prediction
Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi Dmitry,
So the lower two thirds of the coil is normal and the top 1/3 is
reverse wound...
The current is less at the top of the coil but there would be some
reverse voltage in that case... If we assume a linear voltage
profile with maximum voltage per turn at the base and practically 0
at the top and we fold the top third...
Thinking.... #%&:-p Integrating |\:-p ....
So if the total normal voltage is 1, the total voltage across any
part of the coil starting at the base is X and assuming a height of 1:
Vt = 2 x (X - X^2 / 2)
If we put in 2/3 for x we get 88.9% of the voltage still at the
top!!!! :-))))) That is not a significant hit if it stops the racing
arcs and allows tighter coupling!!! The DRSSTC folks really like
high coupling so this might be very useful to them!!!!
Note that the top third might be somewhat shorted by the top terminal
which is basically a lossy shorted turn.... Just to make it more messy %:o)
Cheers,
Terry

ok, Paul - i ask you here (to screen poss mail problems) third time -
what is the problem with a folded resonator concept? this would be my
last question to you at all if not answered. you give me no choice : )

i can`t see how it can be a problem - you`ll lose a very small part of
total sec inductance only, since mutual inductance between parts is
very small, as well as mutual/coupling between pri & reversed part of
the secondary.
