HVFE (high-voltage field extraction) device, new design implementation preliminary test results.

in cannabis •  5 years ago 

Removing trichome stalks from heads used to be a 20 minute operation (several grams) which was a marked improvement.

Industrial quantities can now be processed ..very fast.

The first test of the components driving the circuit... reveals that they operate as projected. I tried the configuration for myself. The output of the new high-voltage field extraction device is reasonable in terms of operator safety.

The effect to be applied is achieved with the chosen wattage (52 watts), while ample "headroom" exists for larger refinement electrode sizes and configurations. There is more power than necessary to achieve the effect with a minimal electrode. The device is capable of continuous duty where the first design had a maximum of fifteen minutes to complete the extraction (before varnish melted from copper coils to short circuit).

This circuit seems to be thermally efficient (stays cool) which solves the issues of safety and durability. Ease of repair is an implemented and useful feature. The selected components have been in popular electronics for longer than patents are issued. This product is comprised of well tested electrical components, designs older than two decades.
