I understand twice for symmetrical with shunting capacitor but wouldn't now be sum |forward| plus |reverse| cause need to check charge on capacitor? Sorry that I dumb

Ya know... That has to be the most diplomatic correction I've ever encountered! We could use you on the Contributors Forum! (and I say that as one who has a reputation for being... Um... occasionally less than diplomatic...) --- All of which is to say (as if you didn't know) you're not stupid! - I AM!!! --- You're absolutely correct! The maximum reverse EMF apparent across a diode feeding a capacitor (as described) is FAIAP always equal to the peak to peak EMF of the associated waveform - without regard to symmetry! You're one smart "computer generated average Polish lady", @Aleph(0)!!! But hey! In all seriousness, thanks for both actually reading my post and thinking!!! That's what it's all about! --- FWIW My error was issue of base lackadaisicalness on two fronts: 1) Neglect of the obvious fact that the 2x factor applies only where (EMF) symmetrical waveforms are involved -- and 2) Inattention to the fact that we were contemplating filtering the output! -- As a point of interest Roentgen and Coolidge tube implementations often dispense with filtration -- hence the 'kVp' convention...

Again, in the interests of economy, one may often dispense with rectifiers where the anode supply waveform exhibits a high degree of asymmetry -- In which case care must be exercised such that the inverse pulse is of insufficient magnitude to damage the cathode structure via 'reverse conduction' owed to (thermionic) anode emission secondary to a 'hot' focal spot... --- That said; Inasmuch as we are exploring design/construction of general purpose EHT and X-Ray generation apparatus - I suggest we 'stick with' a well filtered scheme (thoughts)?

You say my _intimation_ so saying about my love life now? Joke

can't find heat shrink tubes?

In case you 'look in' on this thread prior to my opportunity to make a proper (i.e. comprehensive) reply:

You may generally find said article in the 'electrical department' of most hardware shops and 'home improvement centers'...

@Aleph(0)

In addition to the above listed tools you'll need:

1) A 'Dremel' (or equivalent) 'moto-tool' with a pack of heavy duty cut-off wheels and a grinding stone (If not equipped with a chuck, please make certain you've the appropriate collets)
2) A Large (0.5" Dia) 'rat-tail' file
3) A tubing cutter accommodative of up to 1.5" OD CPVC tubing (note: inasmuch as a clean edge and minimum distortion of the tube is essential I do not recommended use of a hacksaw, etc)

Sorry 'bout that!

Hey @Aleph(0) Having carefully considered the matter I feel the best approach is documentation of an actual Re-Fab -- to that end please choose the winding (from the image below) most similar to that which you will be using (upper row 1-3 lower row 4 & 5 --- L to R) don't despair if you don't see 'your winding' I have many, many more...


I plan to post the first 'installment' early Wednesday AM -- No problem if you haven't all the materials/tools yet -- the initial procedures require only basic implements...

BTW I've an idea --- please don't take this the wrong way! I've been just as 'guilty' as you! -- My eagerness to keep this discussion public owes to a desire to (between the two of us and anyone else wishing to 'chime in') create a resource for EHT enthusiasts beyond the often much less than satisfactory 'cook book treatment' seen on YouTube, Instructables, etc... Inasmuch as these public fora are 'crawled' by search engine's 'index bots' many interested parties will 'land' here -- Many of whom will be interested in the substantive discussion -- All of whom will be 'put-off' by chit-chat, jokes and small talk... -- Hence my suggestion: Let's format our posts such that all on-topic material is featured first -- Followed by any quasi-personal chit-chat, jokes, rejoinders, etc.. 'below' a delimiter (this post will serve as an example) (thoughts?)

So on to the off topic content -- note the delimiter immediately below and on it's own line...

Excellent! Inasmuch as similarity of the auxiliary winding assembly is more important than that of the potting material I'll use the LOPT at position 2 as the 'demonstration subject'...

I try test hv winding before do all and to waste the stuff cause ohm test not help find short turn only open or total shorted you plz say how to test?

As I understand the (above) quoted text you're stating that you wish to dynamically test the EHT winding prior to committing work and materials to a possibly defective winding? -- First off yes you're quite correct in your assertion that DC resistance measurement will not detect a single nor even a comparatively modest number of 'short circuit turns' moreover, as you seem to apprehend, even one such turn is as a shorted 'secondary' and, as such, is 'fatal' to the winding... Although such a test could, in principle, be preformed via measurement of the winding's reactance/inductance a more satisfactory assay of overall electrical integrity requires examination at EMFs more closely approaching intended operating conditions --- Such is readily achieved via a 'half-Royer' arrangement -- note that, inasmuch as you need operate the circuit for no more than five seconds a 'hay-wired' arrangement sans heat sink is acceptable

The circuit linked below will suffice for test purposes -- note, however, that the feed-back phasing is shown incorrectly!

http://www.powerlabs.org/images/schematic1.gif

HP for the testing circuit will you say 2n3773 or 2n3055 for active part?

For these purposes just use a 2n3055, a 2 turn feedback winding and a 4 turn primary, secure the core pieces with elastic-bands (don't forget to include air-gap spacers at each core junction) - establish a two-centimeter arc gap (EHT output connector to EHT return) then power the circuit with Ca 20V if no arc double-check phasing and/or increase feedback turns to 3 --- Important! While anticipated operation indicates a good winding, failure to operate does not necessarily indicate a defective one! IOW If you can't get the circuit working let's 'talk' prior to your 'tossing' the winding! Of course it goes without saying that this circuit is 'horse dung' start to finish! -- Suitable only for the brief test described - please don't even think of regarding same as a design example!!!

Oh! yes! that particular misnomer has been floating 'round for quite some time now! The worst of it, IMO being the obvious fact that, clearly, they neither comprehend -- nor care to comprehend -- the most basal aspects of their self proclaimed area of 'expertise'

Sadly said species of laxity is not confined to avocational sites but, in fact, extends to 'safety-of-life centric' services as well (certain 'esteemed' medical reference sites come to mind) --- While anyone can make a mistake only a knuckle-dragging idiot recites info sans the least original thought or research! --- hence it is that the 'web' is abuzz with BS from/endorsed by many ostensibly 'reputable' sites who prefer reliance upon 'the greatest hit count' to original thought/research - as if truth is a popularity contest --- Bottom line: there is no excuse for failure to do one's own thinking or, at very least, conscientious sourcing! - period!

on physics forum I say they wrong by give explanation and they're like cool thanks not even embarrassed

Might I assume you 'bumped' your eloquence up a few orders of magnitude during that exchange? -- No! on second thoughts, reaching those yobs would require a marked downward adjustment -- Seriously- kudos on your improvement of the WWW knowledge base! -- But embarrassment from a 'cyber-subby'!? -- Now that is asking a bit much!

there is _delineator_ not delimiter silly!

'Delineator' is a broader term -- the series of forward slashes (as used) functions as a paragraph delimiter -- But, hey! Don't let me discourage you! There's always room for one more cadet at the proofreader-police academy!

YT vids not play on here but to play in browser why so?

When try to play YT vid on page sys clock loses 1hr do you know why that?

Sounds like a VPN or firewall issue -- The former 'symptom' owing, perhaps, to 'flash' security settings --- Whereas the latter may be flash (or other software) 'meddling' with system settings in response to a discrepancy in 'geo-detected' location vs actual location --- I just don't know where we'd be without Microsoft, Adobe and their ilk at the ready to look after our every need....

Please be advised that 'PC troubles' don't come 'neatly' under my purview -- even wise old Google will likely be of greater assistance

Now I say death not funny for subject to joke about! Think about you decaying in coffin make me cry so stop bad taste joke!

 

Hey @Aleph(0) In the interests of 'tidiness' I'm going to make two posts: This post will discuss testing of the EHT windings -- while the subsequent message will address your inquires/comments...K?

As per your (well advised) desire to test the winding I have 'kludged together' the (lame! lame! lame!) setup described in another post and shown in the images below -- Firstly, here's a link to a correctly drawn (half-Royer) schematic -- Incredibly, this is one of very few indicative of correct phasing to be found on the 'web' -- Aleph, my friend, seems we've got our work cut out for us!!!

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q297/aonomus/High Voltage/b2298ac6.gif

So... my idea was to see how simply (read poorly) a test circuit could be constructed yet yield unequivocal confirmation of winding integrity -- Please note: It is not possible to over-emphasize the fact that - apart from 'one-off' verification of LOPT EHT windings -- the circuit as designed and constructed is, utterly unsuited to *any* purpose whatever!!!

So... With no further ado here's the appallingly 'hay-wired' test arrangement -- Note: the single change made (relative to the above linked schematic) is addition of a polypropylene capacitor in a purely token effort at maintenance of some semblance of 'signal containment' -- The power handling characteristics of the resistors are disproportionate to their 'roles' in the circuit and generally over-sized (said components being ready to hand), note, also, that the etched mica capacitor is not connected...

Appalling but adequate to its purpose test arrangement:



If you look closely, you'll see a low current 1.8 cm AC arc (consistent with an EMF ~ 15kV P-P) indicative of a properly functioning coil...
15kV 50uA arc



Here is the (half wave rectified/filtered) output EMF as read on an EHT indicatior -- Note that the indication at the instant of image capture (14kV) is fully 6kV down from the initial reading of 20kV at power-up less than ten seconds previous (said decline owing to hFE/Beta fall-off with increasing BJT temperature -- the 'price' of neglecting heat sinking)

Peak EHT indication following 10 seconds operation @ ~30uA


So, to summarize:

Advantages:
-May be assembled in approximately 10 Min
-Dynamically tests winding at near operating EMF and frequency
-Very low power (typically<1W) -- hence 'stray' arcs are not instantly damaging to assembly or conductor insulation.
-Observance or rigorous safety measures not required

Disadvantages:
-Copious RFI
-Rapid output fall-off with operation
-BJT failure with protracted or poorly paced operation
-Generally appalling design and construction is quite embarrassing to present!

Conclusion: A rapidly assembled, highly adequate solution to impromptu EHT winding examination -- 'hold your nose' and go for it!

Best regards
HP

 

thank you for understand about test hv winding

On the contrary - My apologies for failing to recommend it prior to disassembly!

I have question about lv ps cause not to get hv and the rf energies to lines I build with hermetic line emi filter for variac and primary for transformer. Now secondary circuit is just the 100amps 250volts bridge diode module and 20 ,000uf 200volts electrolytic caps I put movs and unidirectional ovp protectors and 10nf mica cap in shunt with dc terminals

I can't seem to find a question in there? If you're asking for input as regards your low voltage supply - here goes:

First off -- kudos on recognition of the fact that voltage regulation is both unnecessary and troublesome in this application!

I build with hermetic line emi filter

Good! -- Just be certain it is rated to the maximum anticipated primary current plus a reasonable safety factor!

variac and primary for transformer

Good again! Via incorporation of the variac in the primary circuit of the SD transformer you've established (ohmic) line isolation -- one caveat: (perhaps) counter intuitively a variac's current handling ability/rating applies over it's entire transformation range -- Should you desire elaboration on this point please advise!

Now secondary circuit is just the 100amps 250volts bridge diode module and 20 ,000uf 200volts electrolytic caps

Unless you have incorporated inrush limiting circuitry/devices it may be advisable to 'dial' the variac to it's minimum setting prior to power-up...

I put movs and unidirectional ovp protectors and 10nf mica cap in shunt with dc terminals

Excellent! For best results make certain the RF filter capacitor is of 'stacked' -- as opposed to 'rolled' -- construction...

I wind power cord onto ferrite choke piece too

Good move! -- Here's a 'kink' I've found useful -- operate the PSU from a GFCI receptacle -- Owing to 'detection' and imbalances attendant thereto - the slightest common-mode -or- differential RF/'hash' will cause tripping -- while said response should not be 'counted upon' for protection, non-eventful operation is a good indicator of electrical 'cleanliness' on the power cord!

IMO everything seems well considered! -- Although you made no mention of OCPs I'll assume they 'went without saying'?
Very pleased (and more than a little relived) to be in correspondence with an intelligent, motivated individual!!!

Your winding tests good! The 'irreproducibility' of operating parameters/conditions is merely an 'artifact' of very poor driver design (if 'design' my be applied to such a travesty) -- Specifically; undue criticality vested in factors effecting primary/feedback mutual inductance (e.g. turns ratio, winding geometry, relative winding positions, core material and dimensions, core air-gap, etc...) Moreover the the arc intensity (Re: my setup) was considerably greater than apparent in the image...

Why glass tray are white rectangle paraffin wax for?

The following assumes your question inquires after my use of a glass tray and petroleum 'wax' cakes in the demo images...

The glass tray is a certified RF-lucent borosilicate tray salvaged from a 'microwave' oven -- The 'wax' is the common (room temperature) solid alkane solution marketed for canning, etc...-- Please note: I avoid the term 'paraffin wax' inasmuch as the substance is not a true wax and the term 'paraffin' is ambiguous... The tray is employed as a non-conductive surface and heat shield -- the 'wax' cakes are used as electrical insulators, spacers, etc...

I question about induction winding make use for xray too? may easier to get than antique flyback so I ask just to know cause I more happy about use fb

Do you mean something like this?:

14cm (120kV) Arc

Here the (differentially connected) coils are driven by a 'phase-chopped' 200Hz, 100V, 500W bipolar ramp generator:

Problem is the EHT 'component' represents only a small fraction of total available power
The arc demonstration is rather deceiving in the case of induction coils and their ilk inasmuch as they produce only very narrow (3-18 uSecs) and widely 'spaced' EHT pulses serving only to open (i.e. ionize) a path for the much lower (OC) EMF 'shoulders' thus creating the illusion that several hundred watts of power at EHT potential is available -- when, in fact, said availability is typically limited (even under ideal load conditions) to as little as 0.0002 (i.e. 1/5000'th) the power achievable under short circuit (i.e. arc) conditions --- These statements are generally applicable to all low interruption frequency, flyback and cis-forward conversion topologies...

You shouldn't say circuit lame I like can know wdg ok with not the fuss stop be embarrassed should be very happy you not the dreary by the book clockwork power martinet

While I appreciate your appreciation - I am compelled to point to the fact that -- whatever their shortcomings in the ways of imagination and creativity -- 'martinets' more than compensate for through their propensity for getting things done correctly the first time every time! -- Or to paraphrase an oft recounted monition: "the book was written for silly people like you and I so's we don't get lost in our reveries" --- That said yes! Expediency is always tempting, often productive, occasionally appropriate and never aesthetic!

Except that one macabre jokes not funny! You made me cry to be thinking about how your life meaningless for you now I hope you're proud of your self

Um... actually... If I implied anything it was that my death was meaningless... -- Moreover I doubt your sensibilities are that delicate!

I know too I'm not much! In like 500 years or very sooner no one know or care I ever lived

That's a bit maudlin, Aleph -- Were you one of those kids who shirked her chores on the basis that any work she did wouldn't stay done forever so why bother? Seems I met someone like that once...
Anyway, if its any consolation, every effect you produce - no matter how slight, changes the universe forever - Indeed! In as comparatively little time as 500 years many of those folk who 'won't know or care that you existed' will, in fact, unwittingly owe their existence to you! --- A fact that no conscientious Aleph(0) should ignore!

all then forgotten moldy bones or whatever

Take my word for it! you will never be 'moldy bones' nor any manner of organic/corporal flotsam - for the selfsame reason that neither you nor anyone is any aspect of their body, even in life! --- Get it? Mind and body are distinct entities...
Don't allow the ephemeral bio-mechanical apparatus that serves as your interface to this paradigm (dubiously) dubbed 'reality' to become your prison! -- Just tend to its maintenance and try to enjoy the ride as far as it takes you! For now you'll have to settle for 'IFR' --- When, in the fulness of time, you shed the interface you will find reality to be directly perceivable... --- Do I sound as if I'm proselytizing? I hope not - I don't consider myself 'religious' in the conventional sense of the adjective, although cognizance of the spiritual nature of the human mind seems vested in all experience...

Well hey! --- Now that your winding's integrity has been established I'll get rolling on the rebuild! -- My first 'installment' is planed for early Saturday (I've got a lot of photography to 'do') -- In the meantime please advise me as to your 'implement/material' situation?

@Aleph(0)

First and foremost:

Ok scalpel have set of unused genuine articles

Please tell me you didn't go to that expense just for this project!-- A $10 X-Acto set would have sufficed! --- If so, I implore you to advise me such that I may reimburse your expense! -- There's no need for you to suffer for my lack of clarity!!! --- Aleph! I'm serious! - I want you to pursue and come away from this project and line of study with a good feeling! - This is supposed to be entertaining, educational and relaxing -- not expensive! Know also that it is a simple matter to securely get the funds to you sans breach of anonymity on either part - so please don't let that stand in your way! -- And please! I don't want to here a single word as regards "not accepting charity..." this is not charity!!! Upon reflection there was no need whatever for my use of the word 'scalpel' -- my insistence upon 'precise speech' has cost you a significant amount of money for which I am truly very, very sorry! --- All of which is to say; allowing me to make it right will be a great favor to me!!! --- I expect to hear from you on this matter ASAP!

To continue:

Have regular tools and for jeweler tool is ok?

Yes -- "jeweler's" drivers/wrenches in addition to standard tools are quite satisfactory!

not have threaded stock but like 15cm shankless screw and nuts is Ok?

Yes -- so long as the bolt is aproximately 3mm in Dia (e.g. #6)

not find hv paint yet

Here's the product I use with excellent results -- note: If you do not wish to 'fool' with shipping said product is stocked by most "bricks and mortar" NTE distributors!
http://www.alliedelec.com/gc-electronics-10-4702/70159781/

OBTW the product's shelf life is greatly extended via inverted storage

How to know pill bottle pp?

Here's an image of polypropylene pharmaceutical vial (base up) -- close inspection of the '"three o'clock" area will reveal the numeral '5' bound by a 'reclamation triangle" polymer #5=polypropylene -- Although, in this instance, the abbreviation 'pp' may be seen below the triangle such is not always present or accurate - the numeral inside the symbol is all that is required by the 'protocol'... --- As to availability; most pharmacies will sell up to 20 vials at minimal price - so just ask!

That's a bit maudlin, Aleph -- Were you one of those kids who shirked her chores on the basis that any work she did wouldn't stay done forever so why bother? Seems I met someone like that once...

Ha ha like scullery washing up and mowing the lawns?

Anyway, if its any consolation, every effect you produce - no matter how slight, changes the universe forever
- Indeed! In as comparatively little time as 500 years many of those folk who 'won't know or care that you existed' will, in fact, unwittingly owe their existence to you! --- A fact that no conscientious Aleph(0) should ignore!

Take my word for it! you will never be 'moldy bones' nor any manner of organic/corporal flotsam - for the selfsame reason that neither you nor anyone is any aspect of their body, even in life! --- Get it? Mind and body are distinct entities...
Don't allow the ephemeral bio-mechanical apparatus that serves as your interface to this paradigm (dubiously) dubbed 'reality' to become your prison! -- Just tend to its maintenance and try to enjoy the ride as far as it takes you! For now you'll have to settle for 'IFR' --- When, in the fulness of time, you shed the interface you will find reality to be directly perceivable... --- Do I sound as if I'm proselytizing? I hope not - I don't consider myself 'religious' in the conventional sense of the adjective, although cognizance of the spiritual nature of the human mind seems vested in all experience...

What beautiful and lovely things to say! Now really am choked up! I know about you say power of perspective can't always live there though I try all time I not proud to be so morbid and neurotic thank you for care! You said

Again, this is supposed to be fun and, perhaps, at times pleasantly challenging

It is that for me! Such happy thing to look forward to But for you too much say intense! Like worried about me if buy expensive instruments plz relax so you be happy too ok?

 

No hurries maybe not time read before Monday anyway -- very happy looking forward to though!

On that note please expect said post sometime Monday! Truth be told I can use the extra time to assess the approach and get the images right!!! -- Having just 'escaped' ruining your 'fun' via over-expenditure on tools - I have no desire to do so with abbreviated instruction leading to mutilated EHT winding{s}

Many, many sincere thanks for your kind words!!! --- Will respond in full to your post Monday!

Best regards

@Hypatia's Protege: May I suggest that when you post your full instructions you do so on your AAC blog. They would be more accessible there (to anyone interested) than as post #60 of a thread in the Off-Topic section.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Assuming I figure out the 'blog feature' --- I'll post both here and to the blog

With genuine gratitude
