```````````````````````````````````````````Finally, at long last here is an

extensive update (of the 2003-08-19 original) that many have been
requesting. Some additions are:

- Basic 220/240 Volt AC Circuit.

- A Simple auto pulsing Circuit.
- 12 V DC Operation
- High Power vs low power - discussion
- Polarity of Coil.
- Various other embellishments and updates - that should address
many questions in the comments
- Pictures of the Original Device.
- Sites of interest.

The full Beck protocol must be followed for the pulser to be

effective.... Additionally the Blood electrifier should be modified with
an extra battery as this has been found to be better with due to
variations in skin thicknesses.

Volt AC mains voltage, build at your own peril. If not comfortable,

for you.
Well finally, I have got all the wrinkles out my prototype SCR Thumpy.
And this circuit has definitely got the power. You can actually feel an
electric current pulse when used in the neck area - uncanny! This is
subtle however. I hasten to add that power is not the be all and end
all, indeed, it is quite possible to design very effective low power
pulsers with exceptionally fast pulse rise times that can surpass the
performance of even the most powerful pulser. Unlike the high power
pulsers these minimize dangers from electromagnetic radiation. So
be warned and don't get carried away with the lure of high power! It
has been long known amongst alternate energy and electromedicine
researchers that very high speed pulses have the ability to tap into
some form of radiant energy that is generally not recognized by
mainstream science. Devices with very weak but high speed pulses
in nanosecond range have been build and efficaciously used by
NASA engineers. This is a well known phenomena and I have worked
it out mathematically to my satisfaction. More on this at a later date.
One theory is that such weak high speed pulses are able to by pass
the cell electromagnetic defences by their sheer speed but certainly
there are other issues a play such as tapping radiant energy... For a
better description on this please see Dr. Glen Gordon's video here.
Dr. Gordon was a candidate for a heart transplant but managed to
rebuild his own heart by just such a device.

See also: BIOELECTROMAGNETIC MEDICINE - THE BOOK

Please note that this is not a permanent magnet but a pulsed magnet
and as such the polarity is not an issue, when the pulse collapses the
magnetic field reverses. Hence one need not worry about the
magnetic polarity.

I still don't like the auto types as the body gets habituated to non
random pulses the only exceptions are possilbly the natural beat
frequency of the Earth magnetic field (9.6 Hz) AND the Schumann
waves (7.83 Hz) - a random pulser circuit is still the goal but due to
great demand, much against my will, have now included a constant
pulsing option for those who requested it. For the sake of simplicity a
neon lamp is used. Unfortunately neons are not very stable and tend
to vary as time goes by and may need to be replaced so use a socket
for a quick change. The pulsing rate can be changed and should be
changed every so often so the body does not get habituated, to that
end I have added a switch to change the pulse rates...

To calculate the output energy use the following:

Formula: W=(CE^2)/2

W=energy in joules: C = Capacitance in farads: E = Voltage across

Capacitor in volts

# capacitors #Joules
5* 29
6 35
7 41

*Present circuit.

More on Capacitor Charge Calculations is here.

Any SCR with PEAK current of at least 600 to 1000 amps should
work. The one shown is 20 amp continuous with the appropriate peak
rating. The lamps act as current limiters and protect the SCR against
a short circuit. The circuit can be further simplified as discussed in
point 3 below.

I have build several of these and my experience has been:

1) The capacitors develop a memory and don't fully discharge its

better to use a number of them in parallel. This reduces the internal
resistance and provides a better result and less memory loss. The
caps must be designed for flash applications. They need not all be
the same value but must be the minimum voltage rating stated.
2) In the original Beck based designs the flash tube heats and
develops some resistance so you need to have enough time between
flashes for them to cool down. This has been eliminated in my circuit,
however, you still need some time for the capacitors to charge up.
The larger the capacitor bank the longer it will take to charge up.
Those planning to incorporate the automatic version must be mindful
of this and adjust the timer circuit to compensate this effect.

3) Using a high current SCR (forces the caps to fully discharge by

providing a longer connection than the strobe) and parallel caps from
disposable cameras I can now consistently get 12 - 18 inch jumps
with #14 fender washers. You can cycle them very fast (though not
recommended). All for less than $30 to $50 Cdn. The most expensive
part is the coil which can cost as much a $20 unless you build it
yourself! One can further reduce the cost if at a latter date you don't
want to upgrade to auto pulsing. This can be accomplished by
removing the 10k resistor and the SCR and by simply wiring the a
push to close switch in line to the coil. Don't recommend this unless
you just can't get an SCR or really need to reduce cost. MAKE SURE
THE PUSH BUTTON SWITCH CAN HANDLE THE CURRENT AND
IS MECHANICALLY ROBUST!

More info regarding other coils options etc. is available at:

http://www.keelynet.com/biology/thumind.htm

Coil winding instructions from Dr. Beck's paper are:

"Junk VHS videocassette reels are cheap, plentiful and adequate for
this application. Remove 5 screws from shell, remove reels and
discard tape. Be SURE alternative spools (if used) are non-
conductive or system will not work. Avoid shorter length VHS tape
reels which may have center hubs larger than 1" dia. and won't hold
sufficient wire. Drill 1/4" holes through hub and through center of
flange(s). Make two 4" discs from 1/4" thick plastic or fiberboard, drill
1/4" center holes and another 1/4" hole off-center so coil's inside lead
wire can be pulled through. These 'stiffeners' will sandwich reel's
flanges so they won't warp or split as wire pressure builds up while
winding progresses. A 2" (or longer) 1/4-20 machine nut and bolt with
washers through centers will clamp flange stiffeners and reel and also
provide a shaft to hold in a variable speed drill motor or similar
winding device if used. Then remove bolt and stiffeners.

Specifications: Completely fill tape spool with #14 or 16 enameled

copper magnet wire (130 to 160 turns) wound onto the 1" dia. hub
and 3-1/2" OD spool with a gap width for wire of 5/8". Scrape enamel
insulation 1/2" from ends and tin. Pull inside end of magnet wire
through hub and stiffener and to outside. ~130 turns (about About 1-
1/2 lbs should fill spool. Remove bolt, stiffeners, and finished coil.
Now solder ends of 3 ft of heavy two-wire extension cord to each side
of coil. Finished coil weighs ~1 LB 3 oz, has ~0.935 millihenry
inductance, 0.34 ohm resistance, and takes ~20 minutes to hand
wind or ~3 minutes with drill motor. An excellent alternative is an
AMS brand air-core crossover inductor for home audio, #16 gauge,
2.5mH, 2-1/2" dia., $17.90 from Madisound speaker components.
Those interested in using a 12 V DC source use a cheap 75 watt car
inverter I bought one on sale for just $7 Cdn! Simply remove one of
the bulbs. This of course is easier if at least one bulb is in a socket.

I have also attached a file for the free CircuitMaker Student Version
electronics software for those interested in modifying the simple
circuit that I have developed.

Hi, it would be nice if you could post some pictures of the final
project/board. Though a schematics is fine then for me it would be
easier to also have a picture to look at.

Thanks for your great site.

Posted by: john on August 24, 2005 04:11 PM

Hi, I bought all the parts today which was pretty easy except for the
SCR.

3 things:

1) shouldnt i put metal inside the coil to enhance its effect?

2) I have used 6x 560 UF capacitors (at 250 v) for the unit - will
that be ok when I use 250 volt? I wanted to make it more powerful
than your schematics (also, i could not find any capacitors lowwer
than 270 UF anyway). Or, should I increase the capacitors to
capacitors who can handle 400 volt instead of just 250 volt?

3) Your schematic is good. You could make it more clear your text
because sometimes it seems like you talk about a schematic/part of a
schematic which is not on the page, other times you talk about
schematic 1 or 2 - and its not really clear for a newbie at least :-).
 4) pictures of your units would be a great enhancement also.

Posted by: john on August 25, 2005 06:39 AM

I have built a super thumper with 4,000 uF of capacitors. I used a

huge SCR. When the coil is set on the floor with an aluminum washer
it will launch the washer into the ceiling leaving a dent. Two or three
pulses and arthritis is gone! The schematic is under electromagnetic
coil devices on my web site.

Posted by: Bob Davis on August 27, 2005 05:04 PM

Hi, make sure that if you use 220 volt instead of 110 volt that the
capacitors can handle at least 450 volt.
Also, be aware that the click switch should be made of very good
quality - mine blew off afer just 1-2 clicks (where I did not use the
SCR also).

The SCR is probably a very, very good idea so now I am upgrading

my simplified version to the one with the SCR. It should be finished
by tomorrow...lets see how it works then :-)

Chris, thanks for your help about modifying to 220 Volt.

NB Please make updated schematics to make the magetic pulser

oscillating wth 5.000 hertz or similar.

John

Posted by: john terry on September 6, 2005 11:49 AM

 John, it is not possible to oscillate at 5,000 hertz at those power
levels. The oscillation is limited to the recharge time!

Posted by: Chris Gupta on September 7, 2005 12:10 AM

Chris, I have a design schematic for a pulser that can auto-pulse at

1 and 5.000 hertz. You can ask "V" to get it or me.

Posted by: john on October 2, 2005 04:05 PM

Please sent it John, will have a look. Incidentally you cannot pulse
at 5000 Hz at the powers here unless you have a humongous power
supply!

Thanks

Posted by: Chris Gupta on October 3, 2005 12:00 AM

Hi Chris, 12.Nov.2005
I have used your schematic to construct a Magnetic Pulser. I am
not wonderfully electronically minded; I try to follow the picture. I will
try to include some pics with this email. If they do not come through,
let me know how to get them to your site.
I was unable to get a 130uF capacitor, so used a 100uF @ 160v. I
used, used PhotoFlash capacitors from disposable cameras and had
an assortment. I firstly used 5 120uF (= 600uF) at 330V. I attached it
all to a simple board. My SCR is 600v 25 A.
I had some problems. Firstly, I had wired up the SCR incorrectly,
so it was not happy. (Thought that the gate was the middle terminal,
not the # 3 terminal. Had to have an electronics friend help for that.
Secondly, I did not clean up the board well enough and caused a
small burn across some connection, which were too close to each
other. (Photo 1: Note the board scorch beneath the SCR.) I removed
the SCR from the board as it gets warm with rapid use. I also
changed the position of the rectifier (2N5402) as it was too close the
PhotoFlash-legs connector.

It did not thump as well as I expected, so I added another 2

PhotoFlash capacitors and all was well. Total PhotoFlash capacitors
now 860 uF @ 330v. I mounted the bulb, (100w) in a separate
container to reduce the heat and for protection against a capacitor
exploding.
The SCR and the capacitors get very warm when operating at
peak times. It takes about 2 seconds for the lamp to go out ( recharge
the capacitors). I now fire it between 4 and 8 seconds intervals. The
thump is quite noticeable.
I used heavy duty flex from the works to the coil. I am presently in
Mexico, so I sometimes have problems getting the locals to
understand my bad Spanish and have to use internet pics to order
difficult parts. (I have also just completed a Beck Blood purifier – and
it is working.) For the coil, I used 16 gauge enamelled wire about 150
turns – with ample silicon, to prevent movement and shorting,
(ordered #14 gauge, but #16 arrived). I also covered the back of the
board in silicon to prevent short outs between the PhotoFlash
capacitor legs. As they were already used from the cameras, their
legs were short. I used heavy copper wire to connect each. Next time,
I would probably use insulated wire and break the insulation at the leg
points. The coil is in a plastic container. My wife and I have only been
using it for couple of days, so we will need a little time to determine its
efficacy. Photo 2 complete in plastic containers, yellow momentary
switch and the thin plastic cover of the coil, kept open with the pliers.

I now have a few questions for you, please.

1) Will the thickness of the coil container make much difference to
the coil output?
2) If I were to add additional PhotoFlash capacitors, do I need to
change either the SCR of the primary 100uF capacitor? I was able to
buy an SCR 600v 40A today. And could probably get an 800v 40A,
now that I know the manufacturer and ordering numbers.
3) Could you let me know if it is possible to use something like the
flash bulbs of the disposable cameras to not have to use the 10w
large globe

Posted by: Al on November 9, 2005 11:34 PM

Hi! Cris could you tell me please the difference between a Photo
flash capacitor and Electrolytic capacitor. Will they work just the same
on the magnetic pulser circuit?

Just found your site and have Looked at your schematic circuit. I
am very interested in your circuit design and have a few questions for
you?

I am an Electrical Engineer so do not hesitate to be technical.

Why did not you use a transformer to step up the current in the
magnetic loop?
Have you designed a timer control.

Have you designed a means by which you can adjust the current in
the magnetic loop?

I have not exhausted my group of questions.

Look forward to hearing from you.

 Posted by: Anders Roald Anderson on January 12, 2006 11:29 PM

A transformer just adds expense. The idea was to make as cheap

as possible.

Yes I have designed a timer but just have not updated it yet.

The circuit is self limiting hence there was no need for adjustable
current.

Posted by: Chris Gupta on January 13, 2006 12:22 AM

What is the function of the 120 Volt, 120 watt lamps or 2 - 60w
lamps in parallel? Circuit Voltage dropping?

Should they be be replaced by a resistor of the same wattage.

Does the inductor to the right side of the schematic circuit

represent the magnetic treatment loop?

If so, what physical size is the treatment loop?

What is the function of the The 10K resistor the Diode and the
manual switch in the top schematic?

The link to free Circuit Maker Student Version electronics does not
transfer to the link.

You should reduce the horizontal length of the circuit in order to

print the whole circuit with out resorting to separate landscape
printing.
 Read your reponse re previous question series and have the
following comments.
No transformer may be less costly, however, it will make the circuit
more effective (gause wise) and provide a control range which I
would consider necessary for treatment of the immune areas over the
heart.

Posted by: Anders Anderson on January 13, 2006 09:41 AM

I have examined your circuit more closely and now found the
answer to my previous question regarding the inductor.. And find in
your preamble, this induction coil is wound on to the Video Cassette.
However, you have not shown the "Therapy Loop" as a device in
your circuit, Is it in series with the Induction Circuit?

What amperage would one get in the therapy loop?

Posted by: Anders Anderson on January 13, 2006 11:35 PM

Anders,

There is no need for xformer it will not make the circuit more
effective. Study the circuit more and you will have the answer.

There is no "therapy loop", it is designed to be used as per the

Beck protocol.

Please reread the information before asking more rhetorical

questions.

Build a new Thumper and got some very interesting results with it. I
use a bridge rectifier on a 240Volt supply. In series with an oven
element of 2.2 KW to limit the current. Originally I used 3 650 uF
capacitors from old photo flash units, the SCR is rated for 30 amps
continuous. Now with the total capacity of 1950 uF I had a reasonable
strong magnetic field. I then replaced the photo flash capacitors with
high quality elyt capacitors. Also 3 X 650 UF. They are not flash rated
but are very large indeed. They have screw terminals on top and are
the size of rather large jam glasses. The interesting results are as
following, the capacity is the same but the large capacitors actually
generate pulses which are may be 50 to 100 times stronger as the
flash capacitors. Also I noticed that after 30 to 40 pulses the coil gets
so hot that its impossible to hold her in the hand. Also the original
capacitors got rather hot after a few discharges, the big capacitors
stay completely cool. One thing I have to be very careful is to keep
the coil away from monitors or television receivers. During the first
tests it magnetized the shadow mask of my monitor from a distance
of more then 6 feet. I had a hell of a lot of work to do to degauss the
tube. What I do not understand is that the overall capacity is the
same, but the results are spectacular different. Best Regards

Hi Chris, I am interested in the 220-240 Volt version schematic if it

is available. I read a previous post, shown below, and would like to
also get the details if possible. Regards, Terry "Hi, make sure that if
you use 220 volt instead of 110 volt that the capacitors can handle at
least 450 volt. Also, be aware that the click switch should be made of
very good quality - mine blew off afer just 1-2 clicks (where I did not
use the SCR also). The SCR is probably a very, very good idea so
now I am upgrading my simplified version to the one with the SCR. It
should be finished by tomorrow...lets see how it works then :-) Chris,
thanks for your help about modifying to 220 Volt. NB Please make
updated schematics to make the magetic pulser oscillating wth 5.000
hertz or similar. John Posted by: john terry on September 6, 2005

Posted by: Alex on June 10, 2008 12:35 AM

I can convert any schematic or plan to 110,120,220 or 240v.

 All... The key to conversion is the total POWER (in Watts) which is
a product of Volts * Amps into the device.

Diodes and Capacitors must be rated 2.5x the input voltage.

Actually it is 1.414* but then they tend to overheat. I always use 250-
300v for 110/120v and 600-800v for 220/240v. A TIP:
Photoflash capacitors are designed for High-Voltage, LOW current,
very quick 'low-load' discharges. A photoflash tube (Xenon) is
essentially a glass tube filled with Xenon gas and an electrode at
each end. The Gas is inert/does not conduct electricity, hence it can
be put directly across a fully-charged set of 350v capacitors and will
NOT flash. The 'secret' is a tiny transformer of 80:1 ratio, which has
its output wire physically 'wrapped' around the Anode-end of the
xenon tube. When 'Fire' is pressed, part of the energy srored in the
capacitors goes thru that tiny 'trigger' transformer and comes out 80
times higher (350v*80=28000v) This High Voltage Ionizes the gas in
the tube (turns it instantly into a conductor) and a 'short circuit spark'
jumps from the Anode to the Cathode, creating a bright flash. Very
little to 'No' load there, huh? A coil on the other hand, cannot be put
across the capacitor because it WILL spark loudly, short out and
commpletely drain the 'Cap, and produce a massive magnetic pulse.
It is for this reason that an SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is used.
It CAN handle the massive short-circuit current flow of the coil device.
Further, an Electrolytic Computer-Grade capacitor is larger, heavier,
much beefier and can store many times the ENERGY as a similarly-
rated Photoflash device.. which is why your Lyticaps THUMP
better ;-)

I have built a Zapper of my own design, producing perfect square

waves(!) from .01Hz all the way to 40Khz @ 0 to 300ua, using only 1
IC and 4 electronic component parts. The first one I made was back
in 86; and still works, although I had to replace the batteries
numerous times along the way. It is 3*2*2", uses only 2 3v batteries
and the 'tingle' can be felt through the entire body, from Head to feet
when one steps on one wire, and bites a spoon connected to the
other.
Now I am perfecting a Thumper which anyone can make from a
discarded Auto-Flash camera and a bit of time. I managed ~30 such
cameras in several diff. configurations and models and am on the
case!
 Stay tuned

Posted by: Terry Ross on August 6, 2008 10:51 PM

Why is everyone increasing the capacity of their "thumpers" to

such high levels, when the original Beck model was designed to
create a specific micro current? This would seem to me to be straying
away from the original model which worked fine.

HI Chris...thanks for you generous sharing..I been trying to build

one of this ..but Im in New Zealand and 240V are not working for
me ., the firs capacitor keep blowing out on me with a big
BANG...mast said is a 100/450V and for the main I use a 1000/450V
can't find the proper SCR got one that looks like a thryed three legs
..from I think the first is the anode second the catode and last one the
gate ..if no maybe is way it does not work for me . so skeep the SCR
and fired it and works the first maybe the second time and then just
stop the diodes just short out so has been very desapointing ..I will
keep trying..probably Im just dam as never try before any
electronics...yes i know find someone else to build it ..but is not the
same ..can you please give some advace especialy on the 240V and
the SCR as is the only one that I been able to find over here.. and is a
800V at 35A...any help will be apresiated from anyone that use the
same voltage GOD BLESS ALL. from Joe.

Hello Chris:
I am confused about how to attach the extension cord wire (or
speaker wire) to the coil itself. Beck explains:

"Now solder ends of 3 ft of heavy two-wire extension cord to each

side of coil"

Does he mean that the ends of the coil wire are attached to the
ends of the cord wires or soldered directly to the sides of the coil?

Thanks for any help

Response: Yes.

Chris

Hi Chris thanks for putting up with all us electrophobs for many

years now. Can you explain for me, how it is safe and not straight
mains going threw the coil that would be dangerous. Can you provide
a working 240V version diagram, I have now trashed 3 battery flash
versions and wish to upgrade but am afraid of the mains connection.
Thanks for being.

Posted by: Stephen on December 11, 2008 06:56 AM

Hi, With regard to the 240 volt operation you should all be aware
that lone capacitor at the beginning is forming a voltage Doubler, so
removing it and shorting it out would lower the voltage to similar to
the that intended at the capacitor bank. I would also put the bulbs in
series if they are 110 bulbs. Although I have not tried it so take care,
and at your own risk of course.

Posted by: jon on January 13, 2009 08:58 PM

is there any step by step program to build a really powerful pulser?

I can read schematics fairly well but am not electrically inclined
enough to know what the parts look like or where they go...Any info
you can give me would help...thanks in advance for your
time..Frankie

Posted by: Frankie DeLong on January 30, 2009 01:16 AM

Hi Chris. I am getting some parts together to build one of these

units myself. I live in England so I need to use it on 240v. I have
sourced the capacitors, I have 5 80uf and 2 or 3 120uf, can I wire
them all in parallel, or do they have to all be the same rating? Is 330v
enough of a top end so that the photoflash caps don't blow. And third-
ly, is Jon ^^^ right about the first capacitor near the bulbs being a
voltage doubler and I can leave it out. I don't want to blow myself up
or electicute myself as you can understand. I have/did have colitis
(I'm going for a test next week) before I started using my flash gun
magnetic pulsar and plant stimulator, now some of the symptoms are
disappearing. I have got together a 10k 3w resistor for the SCR, a 3
amp push to make switch, a couple of 1n5406 diodes (rated 600v 3
amp) and a UH20FCT (which is the SCR) rated at 300v. Does it look
like I'm on the right track? Or do I need further help wiring this for
240v?

Posted by: Paul Sumner on February 1, 2009 10:17 AM

A message for Todd, further up the page (Nov 12 2008 - yes I

know it was an age ago). You strip back the insulation from the
copper wire from the start of your winding and the end of your
winding using sandpaper and solder the mains wire to each end of
the winding you have just sanded. Imagine your coil as a resistor, as
it were, wiring it in series.

Posted by: Paul Sumner on February 2, 2009 06:17 AM

For 240v op I used a 240 to 120v transformer to power it as is

without changing anything, works great.

Posted by: Peter on February 7, 2009 11:05 PM

Paul, I am sure of the front capacitor forming a voltage doubler, the

problem is at 240v the voltage on the caps is still a little too high for
330v caps suggested they need to be at least 350v with the voltage
on the cap going to approx 1.414 x the quoted mains voltage, 400v
caps are safer. A transformer is a more conservative approach, if you
are at all worried then as 'Peter' a says transformer is the answer. For
everyones information for a given capacitance if you double the
voltage the joule energy quadruples therefore if you run the original
circuit at 240v with all capacitors voltages suitably scaled i.e. voltage
of caps x2.5 you can divide the capacitances needed by 4. However
at these voltages the device become much more dangerous, so I
would favour a solution keeping the voltage stored lower. All the
above info is of course my opinion, and is offered in the spirit of
friendship FOC, but of course used at your own risk.

Posted by: jon on February 8, 2009 07:31 AM

They sell 100w step down transformers on ebay for about £15, or
300w for £27. Don't think 100w would be powerful enough but would
300w suffice? Not sure what the amperage is of this beastie! I
assume that it's at least 120w because of the 2 bulbs. Also if you visit
http://www.twotowers.com/beck/beck_emp.html and view Steffan's
pulser he put the live wire to the switch which seems to go straight to
the coil! Live to coil looks v dangerous. He said that a switch should
always work on the hot wire, which I agree. But if you look at the
diagram, that would lead the live to the coil, with no diodes blocking.
This would either shock you or just turn the coil into an electromagnet
without firing it off. Anyway, not sure if Chris's design should have the
switch just between the bulb and power as I would not normally wire
a bulb to the neutral wire alone and to go through all that circuitry to
get the live back or maybe Steffan is correct? He did say that it may
not matter about the polarity. After all it is AC and the nature of AC is
that is loops from plus to minus. I don't fully understand that though
because in that case then why can I not get a shock of a neutral wire,
but I would always get a shock of a live wire. Then there's something
I read recently that a switch should always be at the end of a circuit.
The only problem is if I do get a stepdown transformer I would have
to source 2 X 60w 110v bulbs and I'm not sure about the diodes,
would the higher voltage ones still block a reverse current? Still at
21p a diode I may as well replace them eh? The bulbs seem harder
to get, unless they are from china.

Posted by: Paul Sumner on February 9, 2009 07:00 AM

 Actually the bulbs exact bulbs are not too critical. They appear to
be acting as a simple charge current limiter.They also stop shorting
the mains when you fire the trigger too. I would say that the power
drawn can be no more than the that of the bulbs, since they are in
parallel, it seems that 120 watts is the max power, however in theory
you might need too have a bigger transformer as the effiency of the
tranformer is not 100. If you use lower Wattage bulb or bulbs the
circuit will work just the same, the transformer can then be cheaper
and smaller, the only difference would be is that it will take a bit
longer to recharge the capacitor bank between each discharge, which
I would have though would not be a problem. The orginal circuit
should still work with only one bulb and create less stress on the
diodes and caps in the process. I will comment on some of the other
stuff in your post when I get time to check it out.

Posted by: Jon on February 11, 2009 07:04 PM

i would just like to ask chris or anyone here i just built my first
pulser and used old school modified camera flash. the flash is a vivtar
2000 model, what the power from a flash like that will produce out of
the coil? and second when i discharge the flash there is definitely a
pulse coming off the coil but the flash is not any dimmer than usual,
does that mean most of the power is not getting dumped to the coil?

And also to anyone who doesnt want to wind the coil, the msm
electronics is no longer selling them, but I found a company that does
sell almost all size, gauge, and mH coils

Nearly there now guys. I tried wiring the scr every which way then
gave up and bypassed the SCR and resistor. Pop, the washer
jumped!! YAY!! BUT..... The SCR is good for holding the power down
until it dissipates as I found out when I got a shock. I'm still here! I
needed that!!! Anyway I could do with some help with alternative
SCR's please and how the 'ek you wire them. I am quite naughty!
Coz I ignored some peoples advice and went for wiring it up for 240v.
Sorry Jon. What I did was wire everything by the diagram with the live
going to the switch (even if I don't really like that, I would prefer the
switch to go just before the bulbs and to wire the live that way round.)
Because if this has been build 100s of times before it must be right!
Anyway the secret was to wire the capacitors in both parallel and
series. + to + and then - to + and + to the next - on the next cap. I got
660v rather than 330v that way, which I admit is fooooookin
dangerous but it works, and there is no chance of the caps blowing
that way. All capacitors ran cool and my switch has worked a few
times, I'm not planning on using it much without the SCR as I don't
think it's as safe without it. My smoothing capacitor for the bulbs is a
single 120uf 330v (I worked it out because my other caps are 660v) If
you look at Chris's brill plan the first cap is 150 v and the capacitor
bank is 300v so to me 330 and 660v seemed perfect. My problem
was that my SCR would not feed the caps. I had a multimeter placed
accross the capacitors initially to watch them charge. They charged in
about 1-2 seconds the first time then less then a second following
that. When I pressed the switch (with a plastic ruler) the coil thumped
and lights flickered and went out. I then unplugged the device and
watched the multimeter, back up to 660v so I pressed the button..
Thump again. Then I think the single capacitor must have been
charging the bank because the voltage went up to 330. This circuit as
it stands is v hard to discharge. I have left it upstairs with a massive
resistor across the cap bank. Another question is when unplugged
the actual plug seems to get a charge from the 330v cap! I put a
multimeter across and it read about 330v? Whats going on, should it
do that. I will say that I left the power switch in the circuit on, maybee
that has a lot to do with it. Please advise. I know I'm a monkey for
playing with 240v (or 660v)but at least I know it works, and I may as
well persevere with it. Another question I have is when you see Bob
Beck with the coil he actually puts his tongue on it and presses the
trigger. Stupid question (I'm not about to put my tongue on it now),but
does the coil now need to be heavily insulated so that I can hold it, or
is it still just a magnet that can't harm me? I have put insulation tape
around the connections to the black box, but just simple sellotape (for
now) around the coil, mainly to keep it together. Paul...

Posted by: Paul Sumner on February 13, 2009 07:57 PM

Hi Chris, I am new to this magnetic pulser circuit but decided to

build one. Here in South Africa our mains voltage is around 230v.
Obviously the input doubling cap and diode can’t be used on 230v. I
used two 60w 230v bulbs in parallel .I wanted to use 100w but
couldn’t find red ones in that wattage! Red ones look nice! The bigger
the bulb wattage the quicker the charging. The capacitors I could get
are rated at 330v ,which run at full voltage. They have not shown any
distress at this potential so far and work fine. A 400v rating would be
better. The capacitors add up to about 800uF and I have used a
40TSP16 thyristor which runs very cool. After using for a while I got
tired of repeatedly pressing the trigger button and built a simple circuit
to trigger the coil every 7 seconds and switch it off after 20 minutes.
This is much better and more relaxing to use! To answer some of the
readers’ questions. The position of the switch in the live or neutral
does not make any difference as the coil will be completely insulated
and the components mounted in an insulated box. As the circuit is
directly connected to the mains it must be unplugged anyway if work
is to be carried out .Also the capacitor must be discharged , I use a
820 Ohm 10 watt resistor. A cheap and cheerful way to reduce the
voltage a little on the caps is to buy 20 cheap 2amp 1000 piv diodes
and wire them in series in place of the regular diode .This will effect a
drop of about 12volts which can be useful. They can be soldered
together side by side and take up very little space. Brian.
