Re[4]: Re: RB tube losing power

Hi Ian,

The reason I replied is because others are using coils with as

low as 0.4 primary resistance (and some may not even realize what

the resistance is - of course they should have checked). And it

appeared you were recommending a value near 4 ohms, in general.

Hi Bil,

I understand that this flies in the face of your current experience, and that

is okay, but we have found through extensive studies and experimentation that

the 4 Ohm load seems ideally suited overall. I don't know what to say ... it

works well.

Yours,

Hi Gesi,

Please know that if you put a sine wave into a transformer you do not get a

sine wave out as you stated. What you get is a rampform deformity of a sine

wave and this is not a good thing as you are generating unwanted harmonics. In

order to maintain the sinusoidal form and keep it intact you must balance the

coil's inductance and turn's ration to each individual frequency you input.

This was a bit tricky at first but guys like here have managed to fix that

issue: now if they can only make it to where I understand what they are doing.

The Darlington Switching methodology: 'Nuff said.

We have found that bipolar signals lose effectiveness in virtually all stages

of our testing. Hence, we have abandoned this line of research.

Too many people fret over the various formulae, theories, and physics

equations involved when it is time to realise that we are just complicating this

issue to the point of absurdity. Thoreau said, " Our life is frittered away by

detail... simplify, simplify. "

In the words of our engineering staff, " It's not the power, it's the

precision. "

Always,

Dr. Ian MacLeod, Ph.D.

This is all transformer & magnetic flux theory,

going above my head.

Healthy Regards,

Gesi

Hmm. You didn't say whether this occurs with or without the lamp

connected. If without, sounds like the transformer reactance is not

up to the job. A ramp-like output indicates it wants to run at a

higher frequency, or is the secondary is being overloaded. This

needn't happen. Ask any audiophile who works with valve amps. I have

no problem here with sinewave distortion over a reasonable bandwidth.

Of course, once you connect a non-linear load, all sorts of stuff

happens. Perhaps this is what you are referring to. For clarity,

maybe could give us a mental picture of the setup you are

referring to in this instance.

Hi ,

y says, " No problem " and mentions that this picture of the need for

frequency balancing the coil is based on being loaded with a plasma load, which

is a non-linear load. We will be publishing detailed plans, parts, sources for

parts, and instructions for the IM007 just as soon as this new facility is up

and smooth, about a month to three at most.

This will show all what it is that actually works. As soon as our first state

is finalised we will release complete double-blind animal and human trial data

as well as all relevant laboratory notation and results. Currently the file for

publication contains about 1.3 Gigabytes of information but will settle down to

under 4 so we can put it on a DVD. Again, all information will be provided free

of charge to all and we already have been given ministry approval to release the

IM007 package.

Best wishes and thanks for your excellent posts. says, " Hi " .

Yours, Always,

Dr. Ian MacLeod, Ph.D.

Hi ,

True:-

1. Iron core(Laminations) is fine for low

audio. Ferrite for higher.

2. You won't get a good squarewave from any transformer.

Fact is, no matter how you run it, without balancing your transformer to the

peraticular frequency you intend on running through it you are going to have a

deformed sine wave. Deformity of the sine wave in our research must remain

under 10%, ideally within 5% in order to effectively target specific conditions.

For the technically minded, here is a webpage which further explains

some of the issues Ian is referring to, and their remedies. It is

given in a 50/60Hz context, but the same principles apply.

http://www.mtecorp.com/harmsol.html

It should not be overlooked that living tissue is, of itself,

non-linear. Acoustic wave propagation varies across tissue types.

Each cell is essentially a tuned circuit. Whole body impedance is a

relatively high 450 Ohms. Even if a perfect sinewave is transmitted,

there is no guarantee it will arrive undistorted internally.
