Glowing experiment by PWM driver
Reports
This page contains Japanese characters.
I made PWB (Print Wired Board) of PWM driver and chassis for it by my design. I did art work of the PWB and drawing of the chassis.

 Glowing experiment

A glow plug made by OS, type of A-3 shows various glowing conditions while turning the trimmer. I used 5VDC power supply.

OS製A-3のグロープラグを用い,トリマを回しながらグロー状態を示します。電源は5VDCです。

      Dry contact ( 接点入力 )
      Voltage input ( 電圧入力 )
    Electricity
  • Input high level ( 入力電圧 ): 3 to 16 VDC
  • Input signal current ( 入力信号電流 ): negligible uA
  • Current consumption ( 消費電流 ): 1 mA at 4.5V
  • PWM frequeny : 15 kHz
    Trimmer  Adjust equivalent constant current ( 電流調整 )

  •  Application
    There are 4 principal applications how to use the driver.
    1. Fig.1 shows DC motor on/off control. PS is Power Supply.
    2. Fig.2 shows how to enlarge lower limit of engine rotation speed by glowing.
    3. Fig.3 shows an example for UAV or something. It is able to improve fuel comsumption by synchronized ignition signal in very lean condition.
    4. Fig.4 shows an example of a scale aircraft to have an internal starter to crank in remote operation.

    Chassis

    The PWM driver board attaches a shassis of a Aluminum sheet of 0.8mm thick. The shassis hastwo female M3 threads for binding. It weighs 15g ( 0.53oz ) including a rubber bush, also weighs screws 5g ( 0.18oz ) and so on.









     Distribution
    I would like to distribute it across the Pacific Ocean. Please inform me, if you are interested. Thank you.
