A look at a print of a Newfoundland $20 bill first issued in 1889 featuring the first steam engine locomotive in Newfoundland nicknamed the “Newfie Bullet” because it was so slow ! Steam Engines were replaced in the 1950’s with Diesel Engines.

How I made a floating coin display from Oak that was salvaged from an old pallet. Many thanks to Lawrence Glass in Upper Gullies for cutting the glass for me and able to complete this project. The coin is a Masonic “penny” from Lodge # 10 Dalkeith Kilwinning in Scotland. How it got to Foxtrap remains a mystery. This project was made as a gift for a family member.

How bout adding a volt and ampere meter?
@@rayhorner2965 I would love to if I ever find some !
These are highly inefficient compared to today's technology, however they produce very little noise.
You are absolutely correct ! This type of design is “Old School” and not as Efficient as modern types. It’s also much bigger and Heavier than newer types ! However I have observed that some of The Newer types such as Switch-mode Power Supplies Are sometimes horrendous for Emitting Radio Interference Noise Although not all the newer types Have this problem. Thanks for watching !
Love it. Great power emitter follower circuit. Your build was awesome for radio. I just saved most of the final stages from a 250 watt PA (Paging) to do the same thing. That circuit is exactly what what I need. Thank you Sir.
@@colt4547 Thanks ! And thanks for watching ! Check out my RUclips channel for More videos and share with your friends. 73.
A slight change to the circuit is to feed the regulator with a higher voltage to what you want to make up for the voltage loss on the transistors but use a lower voltage for the high current thus reducing the power dissipation on the transistors. I have made a number of these power supplies over the years toroidal transformers can be made to order these days. I used to rewind by hand in the past and a cheap source for a transformer is an old microwave oven replacing the high voltage winding with a low voltage one. Note the circuit is in the spec sheet for the 3 terminal regulators. My 13.8v 25amp supply uses 4 x 2N3055 on heat sinks mounted in a box with the transformer and a temperature controlled fan blows through this tunnel cooling heat sinks then transformer I have run it at 25 amps for 3 hours when testing its now 40 years old , the capacitor has been replaced and digital meter installed.
@@bascomnextion5639 yes indeed ! Check Radionut63’s RUclips channel He has the full magazine article posted ! If you read it they recommend keeping the Voltage down to low 20’s. Thanks for watching and Check out my RUclips channel For more videos and share with Your friends. 73.
How about uploading a Video of that Power Supply ? I would really like to see that ! 40 years and still going strong ! Quite a testament indeed ! I’m sure others would like to See your build as well !
@@madeinfoxtrap5539 I will when I get back to it note I have a number of the same design built around the same decade all still working just the capacitors changed.
On the fans, you could always use a 24v regulator, too, to keep them slower and quieter....but you know that, anyway.
@@englishrupe01 one consideration I had initially was to install a 7808 Regulator that would supply 8 volts. I opted for the simplest solution !
Cool video, thanks. I have found it online free on worldradiohistory and downloaded it. Many thanks for a fun project.
Would it be possible to make this supply variable up 12 volts say at 5 or 10 amps? I found a good place for transformers for these are from old battery chargers. I have a couple that were used to start cars rated at 100 amps. The transformer is good but their triacs were no good.
@@countryside8122 that would involve a different design of circuit.
You could always add on a dc dc variable converter as a front end, so if you have 15v in, you could have a 0-12v variable supply. I have a 60v 1500W toroidal supply hooked to a DPS5020 (0-50v 20A) dc dc variable converter. Very smooth PSU. You need around 2v headroom, so 15v would give you up to 13v.
Replace the 7815 with an LM317 adjustable regulator.
The biggest flaw I see in the construction is the rectifier diodes. The stud type are to be screwed into a heat sink. They'll get a lot warmer than you think as you pass 5 to 10 amp load.
@@randycarter2001 agreed ! At first I used a one piece rectifier block but that failed The bridge was an afterthought and no consideration for a heat sink! Thanks for watching and check out my other videos on this channel. 73
The hardest part to get would be that transformer. What a beast!
Read the magazine article here : ruclips.net/video/VmzMpE-rB_c/видео.htmlsi=ATAZTjzNbARSk8UP Thanks Radionut63

Some reading on this Rifle indicates that it Was also known as the Plymouth or Navy Rifle ! Only 10,000 were made Apparently by WHITNEYVILLE Not sure how many were .69 calibre because Many were.58 calibre.
On my 2nd yagi build in 1986 i used this gamma match system with the insulation and centre conductor of coax in copper pipe. Worked great. Later Yagi and verticals i used the hairpin (beta, inducto) match. Easy to adjust by sliding a short along it and for having the centre conductor of feeding coax connected to ground electrically. No static electricity at all.
There was the old Newfoundland joke about the "bullet". A young woman, who was obviously in the family way, approached the conductor to ask if he knew when the train was finally going to arrive in St Johns. The conductor looked at her and said that a woman in her condition should not be taking the "Newfie Bullet". She looked angrily at the conductor and said "I was NOT in this condition when I got on this train."

@@mudvillemike3 they just drop in from the back like any picture frame
Just a point, sliding the shorting bar along the element, while maintaining the capacitor fixed will adjust the Resistance. Adjusting the capacitor adjusts +/- j. Note there will be some interaction requiring several repetitions. But start with R then +/- j

Is it possible to make a 1/4 wave 3 element yagi for 11 meters? Thanks
@@Jcfbaptista short answer is no. A YAGI has a half-wave driven element 1/4 wave on each side of the boom. If the driven element is grounded to the Boom at the centre it can be fed with a Gamma Match. Antenna theory says The voltage at the centre of a Half-wave element is Zero so You ground it at that point. Hope this helps and Good luck with your project !

I think your explanation is probably accurate, and I have done a lot of genealogy.
@@karenmacleod6816 after years of research and talking with people I believe that this theory makes the most sense.

Most excellent
These have by design gamma (capacitative matching) in the lower section. Where the top section slides into the Teflon insulation there is a capacitive effect from the lower alloy section. Playing with the amount of overlapping alloy will change the impedance.
Thank you! Very interesting. And very inspiring. Learned a lot and I’m going to give it a try, building one that is.

@@madeinfoxtrap5539 I definitely will. Much appreciation for posting informative videos like this one. I want to do some digging before I start building so I can make one that fits my needs. That is, max of 100 Watts (I’ll never get an amplifier as I like low power stuff). But it’s an opportunity to lean so it is a very welcome opportunity.
Great explanation of a gamma match and loved the homebrew tuner in a biscuit (cookie) tin! For the life of me could not ‘nail’ your accent but after a little research discovered you are in FP5 land. Hope to work you someday.

Like 5 here from Mr. Garry for my Buddy in Foxtrap! That is CLEVER and Smart!
inspired by this video, I made a dipole for 1090MHz ADS-B aircraft transponders with a gamma match made from the inner shield of RG6 coax, it's dielectric and the center conductor as the movable rod. at 1/16 wavelength, the capacitor is only 8mm long. great experiment and I was able to get a 1.1:1 match even using 75 ohm coax. I will be using gamma matches a lot in the future!
