The trouble with moving the coil further away is that i need to use longer wires that connect to the fet's, but i can try it i guess.
The re-triggering is a problem for me to study, in my first controller, i used dip siwtches to set the delays to the PW and Phase and managed to scope the re-triggering on the gate so it appeared that the re-trigger was being caused in the fet driver itself.
with the next controller it's virtually impossible to get my scope in to monitor these as it's all suface mount and at the bottom of a ally diecast box, since i moved to this new controller the re-triggering is much less, but the problem here is that i need the re-triggering to study the explosions in the wire effect, which i now cant do with the new controller, now when i wind the voltage up high enough to cause the re-triggering my fets get destroyed because the voltage has to be higher to enable the re-triggering, re-triggering causes the fet to switch on much more and at higher voltages they get destroyed almost instantly.
Now ultimately it is the explosions in the wire i want to study, now imagine this, i have quiet fast rise and fall times with my setup, and the re-triggering causes large random bursts of fast phase shifted pulses, so maybe the effect of these fast random phase shifted pulses are altering enormously the parameters of the coil in such a way to cause havoc almost whiplashing space time or whatever.
I keep thinking about the filament in a valve at power up, it twangs, these explosions are the only thing i have seen come close, if there really is a kick i feel i am close, but what i need now to do is not fire random fast pulses to get the explosions i need to find a controlled way of producing them, then the next thing is power production.
Something i need maybe to do is work out what type of energy is causing the re-triggering, maybe time to find a way of monitoring the air for energy bursts and fast magnetic fields.
Oh i forgot the say that the Explosion in the wire experiment used a diode across the coil, which i dont have in the above experiments.
