No on the yield, the voltages aren’t going through the Triad transformer, I’m still not sure why. It works better if I use the ‘Direct with Chokes’ hookup (see http://pyroflatulence.tv/?p=162 ).

A ‘Lawton’ type circuit uses two 555 timers to provide (for lack of terminology I’ll invent a couple of word usements here) a ‘hum’ high-frequency square wave, modulated by a ‘gate’ lower frequency square wave. The composite output wave biases a MOSFET and pulses a relatively high power voltage through stainless steel electrodes in water. The ‘Oscillation Overthruster’ circuit shown here replaces the ‘hum’ timer with the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) in a 74HC7046 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) chip. This oscillator can be controlled manually with a potentiometer at Test Point 10 (TP10), or can be hooked into supporting circuitry that A) provides a moving ‘scanner’ voltage that attempts to lock-on to a resonant frequency, and B) when the PLL locks, switches the scanner voltage to feedback from the VIC coil back into the PLL. The 7046 and one side of the 556 dual timer (‘dwell’) act like a ‘Lawton’ type circuit with PLL, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is an example. However, I’m not Dave, so I get to call it something else.

I go a bit further and provide some support circuits which feedback the VIC pulses to the PLL, provide an initial scanning voltage when the PLL isn’t locked, safety shut-off circuitry, and lots of blinky LEDs. Don’t get lost in the supporting circuits… the 7046 PLL and the ‘Dwell timer’ to the left in the schematic are the guts of the circuit. The ‘driver’ circuit is just a fancy interface to the MOSFET, it all performs the same functions.

Now, if I just had another life, I could get back to work on it. I’m coming to decisions about some of the problems I was seeing, so new post soon I hope.

Hello, and great work here. I am wondering what has happend with the PLL scanner, have you gotten any good signs of Hydrogen yield? I have 2 Lawton circuits, and I have been all over the net trying to find a simpler way to create a scanning PLL circuit. I keep looking for a Lawton based scanner and Pll? do you have any info or ideas thanks the Other Don L

I know how those software deadlines can come and go….. I work for a software development company.
My wife will say something about church tomorrow and I think to myself that I didn’t even know it was Saturday already!

We all need some down time (brainless game play) now and then.

Sorry, I did get a email that there was a response from the forum, I’m just swamped. I’m hammering on a software release at my day job, and researching about it in the evenings. Once every few days I take a break to pee. I should have some time coming into the holidays to wind come coils and get a little more done on this, but I’ve had to do a few small miracles elsewhere lately.

All right, I’ll admit to a playing a little Fallout 3. Just a smidgen.

I’ll be in line for a set of your prototype circuit boards when you’re ready!
I haven’t seen you post on the other wesite lately so I thought I’d better leave a comment here with my email address.

Thank you! Now if only it actually worked Day job has been rough lately, I haven’t been able to spend time on it that I would like. The “rot” is here, all the leaves are falling, rain is forecast for the next week solid, snow will be here soon, and I have a few more weather-related tasks to perform before I can get back to this. I have to make jigs to wind coils, all different types and sizes. I’m convinced some function of this circuit will work, but I’m not getting any voltage out of the Triad, I need to find something that works better.

WOW, you are truly amazing… this is electronics in einstein although I have no friggin clue how all this works together, it’s easy to read … and I’m glad you are releasing this to the public ….

New post shows all my parts, I still need to get a few scope pics after doing a little rewiring.

I know some experimenters are using flyback coils, so that should be fine. In particular, take a look at the forums on http://waterfuelcell.org/phpBB2/, I know they discuss flyback coils and circuits in detail there.

Take a look at the design by 2curious4WFC at http://waterfuelcell.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5167#5167 , it’s quite impressive.

I’m currently using a Triad brand power transformer, 115/120VAC to 5/10VAC. It’s hooked in series for 10V:230V or 23:1 ratio. No, it’s not good, and I need to wrap a new VIC. I’ll get measurements and pictures soon.
