@TommyDee my coil is soldered to the board but I did some tests runs with a thin steel wire. Maybe that was the problem. What is your recommendation for coil windings? 1 or 2 layers, how many turns?
Yeah, that what I need.

Double coil manages overall height of the coil without removing any wire length.
The number on the original FET should be used. They come in 2 flavors but they are nearly identical.I really like this Thread, been lurking for a while

thanks so much, this I missed so will likely make my life easier. A very quick reply and that is an appreciation for sure.
Hi again, I am sitting in the hospital right now with what is likely terminal colon/liver cancer and while heading home ina week or two have been here 5 weeks so have no access to my stuff at home including the ZVS modules. In light of that, is there a brand name or at the least there should be the value specs on the big caps and I wonder if someone could supply that so I can do some cross-referencing while in here on if there are good alternatives (as in smaller) caps I could replace those honking big one with. A clear photo of teh embossed specs or even easier would be to just read then directly and pass them to me. If that is possible, I would greatly appreciate it. I have no idea how long I am on this world but would for one like to finish my own portable IH before I go. Who knows, I may have a decent time left but I feel like I am spinning my wheels in here in regards to this and could sure use the value of those caps. These are the things that make these things (cancer) easier to deal with and even if I knew I would go tomorrow, I can still learn something today correct? Thanks in advance.
thanks for that info. I should not have made such a big deal about the hosp only needed a good reason why I did not look for myself and the Wifi here is terrible with all the people on it. I am looking fed to getting home and this kind of stuff helps a lot, but although I am only 64, I look at it this way. I have seen further into the cosmos which is like looking back tru time and been able in my limited capacity to try to grasp the concepts of relativity and in a MINUTE way to be able theu a tiny view into the quantum world I have seen more than most humans in teh history of beyond history, and I consider that a privilege. I mean 30 to 45 THOUSAND kids die a DAY on this planet from dysentery, and things like bad water or no oxygen, who and what makes me special? Not a thing. I and grateful to be living in Canada and to be in the setting I am in with all thes wonderful people caring for me but home will be a definite change for the better and this stuff keeps me so busy trying this stuff out that I do not have time to be concerned. What is to be afraid of except a bad death (as in pain and un-needed suffering. I saw a movie, or maybe I just saw the title WAY back in late 60sor maybe early 70s called "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" and to me it strikes me as we put down an animal when they break a leg or are too sick to care because it is the HUMANE thing to do yet we make humans, the real root of that word suffer to the bitter end. I am a yakker so will shut up now but thanks so much for the info. I have looked high and low trying to find a pic of the values and this came just in time. Thanks again. Appreciated
Great picture and I get to go home from Hospital in a few days! Yippee! thanks
mind you and on a more cavalier 'sick' type joke I used to work at a Dodge garage after the first caravans came out and there was a recall and I appologize to anyone who this has actually happened to but on the news it came out like there were babies flying out of the backs of Dodge Caravan vans all the time, and to anyone I spoke to, the defective latch on the rear WAS an issue but it became a running sick joke as to "how many babies you see on the way to work today", but in regards to the IH modules affecting pacemakkers I WOULD definately ask my cardiologist but by the same token I have not heard of a plethora of people this happened to and just think maybe, keep one in your shirt pocket and then enter marathons, give 'er a kick at the very end and become famous. I am ONLY joking but normally you would think you would hear more from critics of IH devices like bolt cutters, stoves etc and I have read none but I WOULD suggest the cardiologist. If life theatening the VC is NOT worth that but I have a feeling the doc MIGHT be 'interested' but doubt he would say STOP IT NOW! Just an opinion but in my situation it is better to check than to check out believe me. Life IS short guys & galsHey. Don't worry. Its just a warning. I don't expect nothing (I come from the medical side)... we are dealing with around 70 watts (correct me TommyDee) not with 1200w or 3000w with and induction stove. Keep cool. Watch your body and heart. Don't hold the IH near to your implants. Enjoy your live.
And think about reducing the power. We can use the range between 5 and 12V... if you are worried... wait a little longer with 7V or 9V
