Re: [TCML] Is a TC reversible?

[Frosty <frosty90@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hang on, i dont think its as impossible as you all make it seem, say you
drive the secondary with some external source, as it rings down power is
coupled to the primary, where a carefully synchronised gap lines up and
fires, transfering power to the primary circuit. Now the perfectly
synchronised gap goes out when the capacitor voltage is max and primary
current is zero, so the transformer sees the primary cap voltage. Now we
design our gap very cleverly or build a solid state triggered gap from scrs
and by timing the triggering or alignment of the gap at the appropriate
points in the primary ring up, sythesise in 50 hz in the same way an
inverter would: like a cycloconverter with a resonant ac link!
Possible in principle, but certainly not with a static gap, and possibly
impractical in any realisation.
