Frequency domain analysis of tesla transformer as a coupled second order system

This paper presents the frequency domain analysis of a Tesla transformer system to obtain relationship between the frequency of an input square wave and the induced output voltage. This system has two coils coupled to each other via air. Resistances, inductances and parasitic capacitances make the coils a coupled second order dynamical system when the primary is fed by a square wave. Mathematical analysis bases on the transfer function written in frequency domain. The solution aims to determine the frequencies in which the Tesla Transformer generates high output voltage. A comparison between the calculated and measured results shows the validity of the proposed approach. © 2011-IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved

Measurement of the parameters and the resonance frequency in semiconductor controlled Tesla transformer

This paper presents the equivalent circuit and the parameters of a Tesla transformer. The resonance frequency to generate a high test voltage in the air-cored transformer is determined. An experimental Tesla transformer system is designed by using a few simple tools such as a Tesla coil, function generator and ultra-fast semiconductor switch. By using high frequency DC chopper, a resonance voltage induced between the primary and secondary coils. Result is a power supply that generates test voltages in the level of 200.000-250.000 V. The paper presents the input/output relations of the Tesla transformer and properties of semiconductor controlled driver system. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Resonance analysis of a solid state controlled Tesla transformer

A Tesla transformer is a source that can generate high voltage with high frequency. It is also known a resonance system becomes two air cored coils. Classic Tesla transformer system consists of a high voltage generator which is usually a Neon Sign Transformer (NST), high voltage capacitor and spark gap electrodes. This paper presents mathematical analysis of the equivalent circuit, measure/calculation of its parameters, reasons of resonance, examine of resonance frequencies and a simple solid state driver with a low voltage in the primary side for a Tesla transformer. © 2011 ?

Improved three-step input shaping control of crane system

Shaping command input is performed for reducing residual vibrations in motion control of dynamical structures. System inputs are changed so that the structure reaches to planned motion in minimum duration without residual oscillation. Shaping input is obtained by convolving desired input with an impulse sequence. Main goal of the input shaper design is to define impulse amplitudes and their instants from the dynamical behavior of uncontrolled response. Zero Vibration (ZV), Zero Vibration and Derivative (ZVD) and Extra Insensitive (EI) are the most common shaper types. Improving the robustness respect to modeling errors requires more impulses. These increase control duration and make difficult to solve constraint equations directly. Required parameters can be determined from the derivation of constraint equations. This paper presents Three-Step (TS) input shaping technique. A solution space for three-impulse shaping is given including both positive and negative shapers. It is shown here that ZVD and EI shapers are the special solution points in TS shaping space. The duration of the shaper less or more than ZVD's can be obtained in the defined space. Some of the new shapers give better robustness than ZVD. Experimental results from a prototype planar crane system are used to support the numerical results

Tracing the relative distribution of arsenic species in groundwater and its association with soil arsenic levels in the simav Graben area, Turkey

© 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.A comprehensive hydrogeochemical assessment was conducted in the Simav Plain, Turkey where major health concerns were reported and elevated arsenic (As) levels were previously found. Boreholes drilled in the plain were used to take core samples from the alluvial aquifer from which most groundwater was extracted. The results of core analyses revealed several orders of magnitude higher values than global average. Groundwater samples were later collected from these boreholes and analyzed for arsenic and its species as well as other related hydrochemical parameters. The results of groundwater quality assessment revealed that the groundwater in the plain was enriched with arsenic that exceed 1 mg/L level and was mostly under reducing conditions. The dominant arsenic specie in groundwater was arsenite in more than 70% of all samples

31.3 A 0.14mm²16MHz CMOS RC Frequency Reference with a 1-Point Trimmed Inaccuracy of ±400ppm from -45°C to 85°C

Recently, rapid strides have been made in improving the accuracy of RC-based frequency references [1 -3]. Inaccuracies better than \pm 500ppm from -45^{\circ}C to 85^{\circ}C have been achieved, but typically at the expense of a costly and time-consuming 2-point trim to compensate for RC spread and temperature dependence. This paper describes a 16MHz RC-based frequency reference that achieves \pm 400ppm inaccuracy over the industrial temperature range with a single room-temperature (RT) trim. The prototype draws 88\muA from a1.8V supply and occupies 0.14mm^{2}, which represents a 2\times improvement in both power and area compared to the state of the art [2].Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronic
