Hey, Sorry I didnt mean to come off harsh... and I can see what you mean about how I said I wanted to recycle half of the AC phase as implying that I'm trying to build a perpetual motion machine =p You must get a lot of those kinds of people around here =p I was just trying to kill 2 birds...

Hello again I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I'm trying to defy the laws of physics.. I'm aware that energy in a system is finite unless new energy enters the system. In either case, I said I'm interested in the interaction of harmonic frequencies and harmonic resonance. What...

I thought about it, and youre right, there must be an easier way to generate dc pulses.. Not sure how you'd do that though :\ Can you point me in the right direction? Like I said, I've got myself interested in harmonic resonance. My previous posts arnt really related to what I'm looking at...

It sounds like in order to get an LC circuit to emit pulsed DC, the first dc pulse through the coil would have to be routed around the coil on its return but somehow fed back to the cap with the right latency to be properly in phase. I'll have to play around with what kind of signals are the...

Hello TYVM for your input :) This is sort of what I was thinking. Though from what youre suggesting, it sounds like I need some kind of timing circuit to generate dc pulses in a second circuit.

Hi again! :) Yes, this sounds good

Hello, This is such a great community! I've got some great input from here in the past! I took a bit of a break but I'm back to playing around and trying to learn about electronics and circuits and I wonder if I can pick your wonderful brains again :) Ive learned that a circuit with a...

Wow that first link is looks Great! I've been reading about crystal oscillators, VCXO's and TCXO's as well as frequency multipliers and frequency dividers - this stuff is fascinating! I am thinking about just using the quartz crystal from a wristwatch - it is in just the right frequency...

Man! I wish I was around in those days - It was the golden age of EE as far as I'm concerned! A VCXO sounds like just the job for me, thanks for the tip! Should yield a stable output frequency and variable. I'll have to find some that operate at a lower frequency though. Minute variations in...

Yea, theyre really cool hey? I've been reading though and theyre essentially the same operation principal as a crystal oscillator, in which case, its just as easy and more compact to use one of those instead. Plus, not as much of a concern for overheating. So, it looks like you were right from...

The concepts involved with this test setup are interesting to me. I've been spending hours reading.. its very engrossing! There's so much to learn, I am finding most of it very fascinating Crystal oscillators would work... but I am also very interested in what you think about how effective the...

Interesting - sounds like its another consideration in determining the frequency of resonance? At least, that appears to be the case with consideration for how I intend to be using them being that the resonance frequency is determined in part by the capacitance in the circuit... Anyway, a...

Its a long story lol - Suffice it to say, it gives me a good amount of working area in the middle for circuitry. I'm working with triodes so they'll take up some extra room. I understand triodes have high fidelity with VHF frequencies so they should be able to handle the high frequences and...

Sorry, as I am still learning, my terminology isn't up to snuff - I guess what mean is LC circuit Youre right - I am likely getting ahead of myself, I just thought there might be a clean cut solution to a frequency drift issue which i do anticipate I will experience. There will be heat buildup...

There is not a conventional tank circuit for this application? I'll continue to look on my own but any tips you guys can provide would be more than appreciated :) Cheers,
