Resources / Re: Photobucket
« Last post by philf on Today at 04:12:33 PM »I just tried a photo from my Google Drive.
Although the link doesn't work if inserted using the Insert Image button if you use Insert Hyperlink button the link to the photo on the web appears.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByxY2AT-A1L-WkczQkR6RTJUZFU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-wmYCFdGnZD8jMDeSRDVlbw
Does this link show a photo of an MDF loco wheel for everyone? It does for me!

Any thoughts?Tom,
I'm fairly sure that the links of photos from Photobucket stopped working when they announced they were going to charge. I found another host and just edited the links to the new host.
I told Photobucket to close my account some time ago. Emails stopped and I just tried to log in and can't.
It's unfortunate that links to Google Photos or Google Drive don't work.
Phil.

It is functioning as a voltage doubler, pretty much straight off the mains. Although I could not perform the necessary topology gyrations in my head to make it look like a doubler. Charges a big cap to 700odd volts which are then dropped across a coil.

I removed and opened it, to the accompanment of falling pieces.
So maybe it had failed, or maybe not, as measuring a stack of selenium junctions with a multimeter Does Not Chooch...
But from what I read of selenium if it wasn't dead, it was dying.
Replaced with 2 x 1n4007. All functional.

« Last post by hermetic on May 11, 2024, 11:04:05 AM »Hi folks,
This week I get the heat exchanger up on the ceiling, get the boiler in position and finsh most of the plumbing. On Friday I visit a retired precision engineer of very wide experience to put some more three phase sockets in his workshop, and have a good look around at his collection of machinery and one of the many innovative things he has built! A very interesting week!
Sunny and warm in East Yorkshire? It won't last!!

(ie, I think it is dead). Drawing out the circuit to make sure diodes make sense.
(not some odd scr or other complexity)
