OK...I have this idea for my version of a replication of Nityesh Schnaderbeck's awesome "Omnibus" 81-filar SS SG. He told me that it was the "best performing machine." he has. I have a 5 gallon bucket with..I don't know...about 80-100 lbs of 18 AWG Essex wire to play with, as well as 11 lbs of 23 AWG and 1 lbs of 26. I already have about 50 MJL21194s, and a bunch of resistors and diodes. I have several amp/hours of battery banks (about 6000ah @ 12 volts) that I can play with and access to some golf cart batteries, as well as the big batteries... A nice 30 amp 12 volt bench power supply, a scope, and a host of electronic monitoring/measuring gizmo’s...
Soooo...here is my idea: I can get a bunch more MJL21194s (maybe from Tom C), do a bunch of matching of components (I have a device that measures parameters of transistors, resistor, inductors, and diodes, plus other ICs). pull 81 strands of 18 AWG out to 130 or 150 feet and litze them. Wind a nice coil up. Meticulously construct Nityesh's version of John B's circuit. and go from there. Nityesh stated that his wire lengths were 460 feet long. They must have been really small wire to fit on the Essex wire spool (my reason for limiting the wire lengths for the 18 AWG to 130-150 feet).
Some ideas to toss around:
1) Wind additional strands wrapped up with the 81 strands, for purposes of creating a series looped generator coil (ala Peter Lindemann demonstrating the SG at the last conference) for either, back popping the primary, or charging another bank of primary batteries for swapping with the run bank.
2) Another idea would be to separate out additional windings and create a "mini-me" circuit similar to the larger circuit only with a cap dump for purposes of charging a bank for primary side swapping. And, run the big circuit to charge half of the big batteries--dividing them into 2-3000ah banks swapping between charging and discharging) hitting them with direct radiant charging.
3) Another idea, would be to run the replication from solar panels (my preferred method), however, I would want to build the run side of that myself (instead of purchasing a TST5) for the experience of doing so, I would need coaching in regard to setting up the buffering circuit (caps, and such) between the SS SG circuit and the panels.
4) I could take a lesson from John K. and use small solar (probably 350-500 watts), running it through a buffer circuit to power a smaller "mini-me" version of Nityesh's "Omnibus 81-filar"...maybe 16 or 20 circuits...and a comparator-cap-dump into one of two banks of golf cart or LifePo4 batteries, switching them to run the big 81-filar coil unit which swaps between the two big banks, charging them with direct radiant and discharging the charged bank with a heater or some-such load.
I can use the 30 amp bench supply to run some "shake-down cruises" and tuning the circuit, and I have plenty of the "usual" monitoring/measuring devices to keep track of things.
This will be my first solid state build and I plan to build a smaller (but still large) version, first, to test with--tuning and such, as I have need of a set-up like that as well. However, my main reason for building that first, is to help in designing the "Omnibus" replication. I am not afraid of big projects, and have some half decent skills. I might benefit in regard to direction from some of you "electronic and/or SS SG gurus" and that would be greatly appreciated. My hope is to pull off some next level stuff to motivate and inspire someone else to take it even higher.
Here is a link to Nityesh's "Omnibus 81-filar" (I named it that, and Nityesh seemed to like that name):

I am a big believer in "form plus function equals art" and any creation of mine follows that principal. So I hope to make Nityesh proud.
Looking forward to hearing from you all
