Base units
BM3 & BM5 Base unit
| At last all the components have all been placed into one purpose built base unit. The unit houses the static gap and it`s blower fan and the main tank cap. The primary coil is also part of the base unit and forms the lid, this also helps to keep all the wiring as short as possible. |
 |
This view of the base unit shows the adjustable
primary and strike rail, On the front of the unit are
the two High voltage input terminals and just off to the
right is a 240v AC connection. The strike rail & secondary coil ground are connected at the back of the base unit. |
|
| A-These are the two high voltage input stand offs. |
| B-This is the RQ type static gap, it sits over a hole in the base unit to let out any heat & gasses. |
| C-This is a 110v blower fan for the static gap, the fan draws in air through the side of the base unit and is ducted to the gap. |
| D-This is the start capacitor for the blower motor. |
| E-This is a 240v to 110v AC step down transformer, There is a small 240V AC cooling fan build into the floor of the base unit directly under the blower motor. |
| F-This is where the main tank cap goes. |
| G-240v AC input for the step down transformer. |
| H-This is the 240v AC fan it is used to cool the gap blower motor and help circulate fresh air around the base unit. |
BMM1, BMM2 & BMM3 base unit
 |
This is the base unit that is the heart of our new 3 coil systems, BMM1, BMM2 & BMM3, the base unit supplies the Primary driver coils. |
 |
| A-This is the main HV input from the power line transformer |
| B-These are the two MMC banks wired in series to give the equa-drive set up. |
| C-This is the 10,000 rpm max speed variable rotary spark gap. The RSG is across the HV feed. |
| D-This is the 240v AC line in from the coil controller |
| E-These are the two HV output connectors that feed the tank primary coil (seen on the right) |
| F-This is the new 1 gap static that is now in series with the RSG |
