Can you repost the pictures, nothing is showing.
Thanks

Are the pictures showing now?

Nope.
There are two ways to have pictures showing in this type of forums that I know.
Including a link of the picture from a web host server like "photobucket" or others similar services and; uploading the pictures to this forum from your computer.
This will show like a thumbnail to full allowable size upon clicking on them.

I can see the pictures. Can anyone else see them?
Sorry

The problem with your pictures is there not an actual link to a picture. The Kodak gallery shows the pictures more as a web page and not an image...

You wont be able to get the kodak gallery images to show up.

You should either use the attach image feature to add pictures, or just include a link only.

I hope this works.

[adamj12b]

It works!!

So the pot adjusts charge current and the timer adjusts time at that current?

When the timer ends, what does it shut off?

The ac power to the inductor and the fan are on the timer.

I can't upload files of the charger I designed. When I browse to the file, and click on it, I get "Wrong type". These are Adobe. I don't know squate about computers. if someone posts a spare e-mail address, I can send them as an attachment. I sent them to Paul but he's away. Mayby Jack Bauer would like to see them. The charger is 6 KW, pfc corrected, with a novel soft-start circuit that wastes no power, using a .39$ common resistor. The input is 50-60 Hz, 85-265v.It also automaticaly draws no more than 15 A from 120v, and 30 A from 230v. It outputs 165V and has a low-level input from a BMS or a charge controller PCB to control the charge rate. The input is open or 2.249v equals 165V and 5v equals 121V. These can be scaled. It is therefor, not a complete charger. The control PCB uses only one IC, an opto, and a TO-92. There is a HF iso trans. All ferrite, including trans. design drawings. I have the Epcos cores(E70/33/32), but can't find bobbins anywhere in the US or the Continent. Jack Bauer: did you buy bobbins in Ireland? Kindest regards to all.

I would be Very interrested in seeing these and would get them up on the site for you.

You can send them to me at : Adamj12b AT gmail DOT com ( replace AT with @ and DOT with .) Sorry its a little cryptic, Spam bots look for email address in the correct format.
