Hi all,
I've been working for the last few months (in my spare time) on a
design which will fire copious amounts of current (albeit for a short
period of time) through a coil.
Now, I can't go into too much detail here, but I can say this:
The current through the coil induces a massive (high speed) movement
of a rod through the coil. (Not unlike a "coil gun" only on a much
larger scale.)
I posted the schematic in a.b.s.e. (Under the name "High Side Firing
Circuit".)
My question is: Does anyone see anything inherently wrong with my
layout? I'm a self edumacated circuit designer, and I'm simply
looking for feedback (in any regard) from the regs here pertaining to
the circuit.
I realize that diodes D1 and D2 need to be higher rated in the real
world: I only used those part numbers in the schematic because they
were the best choices (among the limited selection) in the software.
Pope?, John?, Anyone?
v/r,
JJ Richard
P.S. I haven't visited S.E.D. in years. Whatever happened to Robert?
Did he keep his promise of never posting to SED again or has he
changed his name or....?
