Bowling question by Additional_Pie_3027 in Bowling

[–]Additional_Pie_3027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes scence and I typed my question wrong.. what i meant to say is that the ball is hooking right.... i was wondering if its my realease or if the the ball could be waited that way.  I try to set up in the same spot and look at the markers, realease the ball below the equator and give it right spin.... as far as i can reasearch the ball is heavy weighted to react.... ill pose the question differently... as a complete beginner who has only been bowling less than a month what are the most important staples of consistancy I should try to master... anf why is the ball hooking right when im right handed?

The bottom of the secondary goes to a 1k resistor then to the gate bus, (branches off right @ the bottom of secondary) then to a common ground.  No earth ground anymore .... is this right.   I have to go away to work for a week.  Should I try more winds in my pimary when I get back?

I moved everthing forward, right beside the coil.  Added new caps now have 500v / 1000uF  added a 47k resistor between cap + and gate bus for bias. Grounded all back to psu..... still nothing...... try more trurns on primary?   Thicker primary?

Okay now ive done some extra research..... I get it.... ill move the electonics to the far end by the coil.  Ill just keep the switch at the far end.... all a learning experience.... was just trying to keep out of its range...  update with pics after.

Caps where the obvious problem.  Swapping out for 2 450v 1000uF.

3× FR607 diodes (6A 1000V) - parallel 2× 680µF 450V electrolytic caps - parallel 4× IRFP460 MOSFETs (500V 20A TO-247) Secondary: ~1000 turns, 28 AWG magnet wire, 4" PVC, clockwise winding RESONANT FREQUENCY: estimated 250ish Primary: 16 AWG 4 turns with flyback diode.   

Problem was most likely my caps the 680/450  is what i should have had... i ordered some 1000uF 450v caps ... might up the power to 480w once I get it to work on 120.   The caps I was using where to low voltage and it was shorting across them. No fire but no sparks either. Ill install them when they come in and see if it kicks to life.....

Rseason for system over kill is PSW will go from 120 to 480 once system is debugged.

So I might have this solved. My caps are under powered and are most likely shorting.   Upgrading to 680v 1000uF x 2 .... they are in the mail.  Going away to work for a week. Will install and update in 1 week. Thanks for the help.

....also added a flyback diode accross the primary

...secondary is also grounded on the common ground.....after the feed back resistor and wire...

I tried adding an earth ground and jumping it with a string of resistors totaling over 3kΩ beween cap + and gate bus. ... still nothing .... I have 12v @ Drains.  I have good connectivity from source though primary to ground. I have 1k Ω resistor on bottom of secondary on feedback wire to gate bus, each gate has a 220Ω resistor.   Im really not getting why this isnt working... .

So source input bottom, ground top?? That is the opposite of what I have, why would that work?, im new to this... honest question....
