Hi all,

I am interested in experimenting with flourescent lights, powered from
a
nominal 12VDC source. I have a few questions...

1. What voltages and type of waveform are required to light a typical
flourescent tube?

The tubes light by low vacuum arc. You can rap one with a few KV to
start the discharge, dropping to a few hundred volts if you heat the
filament first, or use an RF discharge and a coupling foil near one end.
Once you initiate a discharge, you need to drag the charges across the
tube with enough voltage to see that every mean free path length they
gain enough energy to create a photon at the mercury line, and enough
more to occasionally generate an ion pair to replace the ones on the way
out. In a standard fluorescent tube, about a meter long, this drops to
about 60V, as I recall. It is directly proportional to distance between
the end plates. If you use a 60 cycle AC, the tube will try to quench
(the arc tries to discharge all the free ions and stop being an arc)
fast enough that you can get a nasty flicker. If you were driving this,
I would opt for a square wave with close to 100% duty cycle, so the
current in the tube is zero only very briefly during the transitions.
The problem is two fold. Generate enough voltage to excite an arc, and
then to feed it a steady current at a voltage determined by the tube
length gas pressure, and temperature. This is all the big ballast
transformers do. You do not need to heat the filament to start the bulb.
And in fact, with RF power, you can make it glow nicely without even
contacting the filaments at all.

Or use current-limited DC (e.g. the rectified output from a saturated-core
transformer) of a couple thousand volts per series lamp. No flicker, no
need
for starting filaments (recycle burned-out AC tubes). Over the sweet spot,
the
efficiency is independent of the voltage as the brightness mostly varies
with
the absorbed power. At least in theory, if it works let me know!


Of course, if you're doing a DC supply, you can always use a "cold end"
current mirror circuit (just make sure the transistors have enough) to limit
the current, and a cockcroft walton multiplier with high value capacitors
(like 47uF or so) in the first couple of "rungs" and low value caps (like a
couple dozen nF or so) (all high *voltage* of course). This way, before the
tube starts, the whole multiplier is active, and generates a high voltage on
the order of a few KV, but once the tube fires and starts drawing current
(limited by the current mirror), the low value caps don't hold enough charge
between cycles to keep up output voltage, and the multiplier effectively
becomes a two-stage multiplier (only the high value caps have any effect,
and the voltage dropped across the remaining diodes take a few volts off).

The same principle was used in a successful laser power supply in an
Electronics Today magazine, probably nearly 25 years ago now. Essentially
the same principle (high KV start, 1 KV run), just have to fiddle the
numbers a bit.

David.

The LT1370 dc converter will easily supply 15V. It operates in a SEPIC

designed a PSU that delivered 36W using only SMD parts, and PCB heat
shunts. I don't know if this will be enough for you. Of course you can
parallel them, or use FET's to boost the output. An even cheaper option
might be an MC34063 with a 30V 7A FET, 84W continuous and 480W in 10usec
bursts through the FET. haven't had cause to try that though.

As is common in these news groups lack of information is rife. I have 2
20W fluoro lamps that have run for the last 14 years on 12 volts.

In my experience, 12V DC inverters tend to run fluorescent lamps well
below
the rated power of the bulbs. This greatly increases the bulb life, at a
slight loss of efficiency.

have tried a small drill press but i find i can drill by hand much faster as
long as i have a small hole in the pad for a guide, sometimes its lacking so
i dent the pad with a scriber.
works ok.
i can drill probably a hole a second no problems this way.
For larger holes a use an arlec supertool (old one) which has very poor

as an aside, i was wondering just recently, if you send dtmf tones to
an IVR or answer-machine etc, is this handled differently by a gsm
phone or is the dtmf just suited to gsm audio path?


Recent additions such as EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) may lessen the
"garbaging" effects of the encoders, I am not sure of this.

BTW, 30cps (assuming 10 bits per byte) will end up pretty costly if you
are an Australian mobile customer. ;-) If you pay 60c per minute, an 18k
file transmit will cost you $6.00.

BTW2, GSM itself natively supports 9600bps - and I've seen a phone with
19200bps but I don't know if this is standard. I believe the phone end is
all digital, and at some point in the network in a digital->analog
landline call, normal analog modulation/demodulation of the signal occurs.
I am only guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if a mobile to mobile
call does not have any analog mod/demod component.

Cheers.

Good sites for TTL and CMOS would be Texas Instruments, Fairchild Semi.,

Well you could just use the RF output on CH3/4 with an two OM350 's.
Silicon chip had a project on it.. very simple to build.
Short of that, if your looking for some more grunt, I'm not sure if

give you up to 500mW. More than enough to get you 100m.

Hello,

I have had a little bit of experience in this. I copied my friends
sisters old 80's Records to CD after cleaning the crackle and pops out
of them.
Unfortunatly the only place that I can think of for a preamp for what
you want to do would be EPanorama. This has many circuits and ideas
for different areas: Audio, MID, computers, interfaces, IR etc...
heaps of stuff. Try at http://www.us-epanorama.net/

On your other question, a good proram that I used was called
DART PRO 32. This will remove cracks and filter the usual LP recoding
sounds from the input.
You can find this on the net at many shareware sites. Try TUCOWS first
or just type it into your favourite search engine.

Regarding your last question. I had my record player hooked into my
line-in on my soundcard and used SoundForge4.5 (can use other
recording software: Cool Edit etc...) Just need to capture a wave of
it. This will be about 10Meg/min... I record at 44kHz, 16bit, Stereo.
People ask why I'd use 44kHz for a record, but from my experience it
seems to be easier to filter when I have a hi recording resolution.
I then loaded this Wave into DART PRO 32 and filterted it until I
thought it sounded right. With this program you can set your filters
and sample a 10sec section to see if it has the effect you want,
before you go ahead and work the whole song.
I prefer just a plain ol' Windows PCM Wave file.

If you have any more questions on this area, please don't hesitate to
contact me. I will gladly help to the best of my ability.

Just in case you lose your mobile or it gets flogged. Did u know this? a
little 'get your own back' if you have your mobile stolen. May be of
interest to those Mobile Users among you.

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on
your phone:

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your
handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

Should your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give
them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the
thief changes the SIM card your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody did this, there would be no
point in stealing mobile phones.

Not possible.

Cockroft-Walton multipliers depend on the efficiency and leakage
characteristics of both the diodes and the capacitors. With each successive
stage the overall efficiency of the circuit falls and so more and more power
has to be put into the front end.

For a typical circuit constructed using commercially available components
and a 1000v ac source the output voltage at each stage would be in the order
of 1900v, 3800v, 5600v, 7200v, 8400v etc (as opposed to 2000v, 4000v, 6000v,
8000v, 10000v)

Reaching 75KV would mean you starting with an input voltage in the order of
10KV. Finding diodes capable of withstanding those types of voltages would
not be an easy task.

Also maintaining 75KV at DC would be near to impossible. Voltages at this
level tend to act like high pressure gasses and 'leak' like crazy.
Containing them in any sort of a portable unit would be near to impossible.
Having been on the receiving end of a 40KV shock through almost 5mm of glass
I can tell you how hard it is to contain them.

As for stun guns and the like, they work on a completely different
principle - one based on transient discharge multiplication (i.e. 75KV for
about a microsecond).

Regards

Alex

Is it possible to construct a voltage multiplier, perhaps along the lines
of
a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier, that can be driven from a low
voltage
DC source and provide a low current output of around 75K volts or more? I
would be most grateful for any suggestions or pointers.

I bought a heap of 500pF 20kV caps a while a go from Oatley, I dont
know if they have them anymore but they worked fine in my 800w Tesla
coil (16"+ sparks).
At least they did until some twit threw a beer can into the inverted
cone of the primary at a party. It shorted the primary to the
secondary and burnt out about an inch of windings. The NST is ok (my
jacobs ladder still works) so I suppose I should get around to
rewinding the secondary sometime.

There is quite a bit of info on making HV caps from multiple MKT types
on the web, try sorting through the info available in the Tesla Coil
web ring http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=teslaring&list&page=1.

Also the Tesla Coil mailing list has an enormous amount of info, its
at http://www.pupman.com/

Check alt.energy.high-voltage news group and
http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/ they have a few hv caps.

Hello Tom and the group,
thanks for your reply, and suggestions. I will ring up oatley
and find out if they have polypropylene types rather than
the ceramics. I have been told the ceramics are not as
good as the polyproylene caps for tesla coils. Something
to do with the delta Volts/delta time rating.
If I have to make a capacitor out of many then these are
the ones to buy.
The O.OO2mfd 12.5KV capacitor that I saw in a professional
High Freq arc starter was a mica type and about the size of
two cigarette packets put together.

Do you or anyone know of any scrapyards or disposal shops
with electrical/electronic junk in the Sydney area. There
used to be a shop called Ace Radio, but I think it has
gone now. Someone on this group mentioned a place
near Bankstown but I have forgotten the name.

John Crighton

Hey all....
Little off the topic I suppose, but anyways, no doubt any
of you who have tried to get hold of laser based stuff - HeNe tubes,
argon ion, High power diode, DPSS, YAG etc have discovered that it is
really difficult to get hold of these sort of things in Australia...
Oatley Electronics USED to sell interesting stuff but they no longer
sell even HeNe tubes

I can order from the US but with the exchange rate this becomes painful


I am after any gear used / scrap / otherwise that contains lasers in the
visible spectrum - Diode lasers need not apply - unless high powered...
or DPSS

I have things to swap like 15KV 30mA neon sign transformers (and 5KV,
3KV 10KV etc.) or other laser based stuff like high powered visible
laser diodes - 35mW @ 660nm.. even a YAG rod - worth $600 USD!

If you are junking it I will pay postage

Contact me on the newsgroup or via email...

Small quantities only - I am a hobbyist not a reseller!
