Hi.
I did a quick test with the intention of replicating ZPM.
I think I am far from the result, but the increase in the light intensity of the 5w lamp caught my attention, while the current consumption decreases.
I use a Starch block cut from other experiments. I don't rely on the oscilloscope probe either because today I burned the input on channel B together with the probe. Therefore, I ask those who control ZPM to show me some tracks using ferrite. That's all I have available for now.
thanks

I am sorry. I uploaded a video and it seems that it needs to be converted to another format. I will try tomorrow evening.

Seems your video is MP4 and it was successfully uploaded to our server but the video is not visible when playing. I converted it by changing its internal video format from HVC1 to AVC1 and now it works, here it is:

If that is the format your video device (camera or phone) is recording I can describe the way I converted your video online without installing additional software on my computer so you can convert your videos in the future, just let me know.

Regards,

Fighter

Gentlemen.
Thank you for calling what you saw <<replication>>
Not nearly!
I am very cautious when it comes to such things
I have some problems at the moment with the scope. It is obvious that the waveform will not be the same on the ferrite as the one from metglass, but even so, I have great doubts that I am looking at some correct parameters.
Likewise, I was able to verify with the help of the circuit that I presented in Editor's thread, that the ferrite works well under heavy load in the igbt drain by progressively opening its grid.
I use an Amidon toroide with a medium permeability without pretending to know the exact value at this moment.

Yes. I use asymmetric coils, but with fewer turns than metglas. I have coil 1 with 230 turns and coil 2 with 115 (wire section - 0.9 mm)
The toroid is cut to resonate controlled, and is from another older project
I think I have answered your questions, and I accept any other point of view with pleasure.
Realco.

Realco,

I watched your video many times and I'd say you're on the right track !

You have a beginning of the input decreasing effect while the light bulb luminosity is increasing and that's the most difficult part to reproduce in any ZPM replication. And the effect is confirmed in the same time by the analog ampere meter.

I see you already found and know where your device's optimal  frequency is, where the input decreasing effect is starting.

What I find very interesting is that you're using a ferrite toroidal core, so far all the ZPM successfuly replications were built using Metglas cores !

Could you give more details about the exact type of core you're using and especially what kind of ferrite it's made of ?

Also the thickness of the wire and the number of turns for each coil ? Are they 150/300 turns ratio like I used in my ZPMs ?

I suppose the light bulb is 12V/5W like the ones I used with my ZPMs sometimes ? 

What you have there is a very interesting ZPM replication, thanks for sharing your experiement ! 🙂

Regards,

Fighter

Hi realco

Yes a very interesting ZPM replication like fighter said

Thanks Fighter for the encouragement. I didn't think I was so close

Hi Realco,

Thanks Fighter for the encouragement. I didn't think I was so close

Actually your progress was so fast that you just succeeded ! ☺️

Again, the input decreasing effect while the light bulbs luminosity is increasing is more than obvious !

The effect is double-checked by the analog ampere meter.

So input 20W and powering 2 x 20W light bulbs with very strong luminosity.

As a note, the optimal/resonance frequency of your ZPM replica is lower than the usual frequency when using Metglas and it perfectly makes sense as it's well known that ferrite is working at lower frequencies than Metglas. But the lower optimal/resonance frequency is really irrelevant as long as the ZPM replica is working and the input decreasing effect and light bulbs luminosity increasing are more than obvious.

So the optimal/resonance frequency of your replica is about 1KHz.

Congratulations Realco ! 😊

I think it's obvious what you have there is a successful ZPM replication and the first replication using ferrite core which is remarcable !

If you don't mind I'm gonna add the word "successful" to the title of your thread and also I'm adding the "BeyondUnity" tag.

Thank you for sharing your replication and keep experimenting, who knows what surprises can offer the first ZPM replication using a ferrite core ! ☺️

Could you please give more details about the ferrite core ? A product number and manufacturer ? The reason I'm asking this is to find out the type of ferrite your core is using, that could be very relevant and could be essential to other members who could try a ZPM replication using ferrite cores. Thanks !

Regards,

Fighter

Realco,

Awesome work. Thank you for sharing!

The trace you are showing looks correct. I remind everyone that the 'scope trace obtained by Fighter is wrong as there is a short-circuit through the 'scope ground clip:

I do not mean the ZPM is not a genuine device, I just want to explain why you're not seeing the same trace.

This prooves that ZPM is a valuable concept and I believe it can be scaled up.

The production cost can be greatly reduced, as you demonstrated.

As a curiosity, can you please measure the self reonance frequency of each coil, having everything disconnected and every coil open-ended?

The results Fighter obtained were these:

coil "L" (smaller coil): 11.9 KHz;
coil "R" (bigger coil): 6.4 KHz;
coil "L" + "R": 11.3 KHz.

I expect that the device improves the closer the resonance frequencies are to a fundamental ratio.

Fighter is using a fundamental ratio of 1/2. That's why the best pulse was a duty cycle of 25% with a ratio of sqrt(0.25) = 0.5, or 1/2.

This is related to impedance matching in transformers as Yoelmicro pointed out a long time ago. I wish I had an earth ground to work on the device.

Keep going, I think the device can be improved a lot! Thanks for sharing!

Stay strong!

Hi and welcome !

Quoting:realco

I ask those who control ZPM to show me some tracks using ferrite. That's all I have available for now.

I'm not aware of any ZPM replication using ferrite. I'm not saying it couldn't work, just I don't know someone who tried it. But a ZPM replication using ferrite would be an interesting experiment !

I am sorry. I uploaded a video and it seems that it needs to be converted to another format. I will try tomorrow evening.

The video should be MP4. You can easily convert it online, no need to install any software on your computer:

If you want you can upload it on a file sharing service and send me the link, I'll convert it for you and post it here in your thread.

Regards,

Fighter
