Explanation of the saturable reactor from previous video.
In this video I offer some explanation and a schematic of what was going on in my video (th-cam.com/video/6bRjJ-ivP94/w-d-xo.html) on the saturable reactor experiment I was doing. th-cam.com/video/6bRjJ-ivP94/w-d-xo.html

Playing with old RLL stuff - Seagate ST-238R

In this video I have a minimal implementation for operating ST-412/506 interface hard drives manually. I can select the drive, step the heads in and out, read the ready, index, and track 0 signals, and scope the index pulse and the data. I haven't implemented head selection, though I might try that later on as I would like to build a complete system for manually selecting and reading data from ...
Final remarks on the Weller WES51 and PES51 including opinion on design changes.
มุมมอง 72314 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In this video I have the Weller PES51 pencil fully separated and have found the fault that led to an open ground circuit which I mentioned in previous videos. I am disappointed with the design of the cord restraint and the grounding scheme and intend to modify my iron to improve on these areas considerably.
A way to pull the Weller PES51 pencil apart nicely.
มุมมอง 10114 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I thought up a way of disassembling the Weller PES51 soldering iron pencil without the risk of tearing the wiring apart or damaging the hardware. In the video I make a guess that the thread on the iron is 3/8-24 (3/8-N.F.); I verified that this is the correct size.

So I should've kept poking around while I was taking the previous video about this soldering iron... This is insane, and totally unacceptable. The fasteners for the power transformer are not tight and the ground bonding connections might as well be flapping in the breeze.

Saturable Reactor Fun

In this video I'm using a saturable reactor as part of a regulated power supply to demonstrate the concept of magnetic amplification or magnetic control of power delivery in AC circuits.

Here I'm testing a concept I came up with the other day. It's highly unlikely I'm the first to think of this of course.

The center speaker reproduces mono sound which is the sum of the left and r...

    I’m a student so much of this flew way above my head, but I think I understood the basics. I’d love to build an amplifier like this, but I am legit afraid of screwing it up, and I have no idea how to choose ”safe” values for all those coils/transformers. I haven’t seen your first video about this however, in case you talked about that aspect. I think you explained the basic principles well. I don’t think we even discussed saturable (constant voltage) transformers in school, yet once you added the waveform illustrations I think I understood the basic idea. The feedback circuit however I didn’t quite understand. It also was amusing to see your issues with accidentally drawing perfectly straight lines while trying to draw a schematic. Don’t get me wrong - the drawing was perfectly understandable. But most of it kinda is just straight lines anyway.
