IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the historical archive of older Magic
sinewave info. It is primarily a repository of early development work
that preserves the time line of Magic Sinewave original innovations.
Current Magic Sinewave info is found here.
NEW: Ultra Fast Magic Sinewave Calculators!
The older info archive begins here...
"Magic sinewaves" are repeating long sequences of ones and zeros.
They can get created from ordinary but extremely carefully chosen
digitally switched pulses.
Digital sinewaves with precisely controlled amplitudes and amazingly
low distortions. Compared to traditional PWM, magic sinewaves can
offer far higher efficiencies and lower distortions. With circuitry that
is elegantly simple and microcontroller friendly.
For use in such applications as induction motor speed controls, electric
autos, solar panels, power factor correction, inverters, home energy
efficiency improvers, 400 Hz avionics, UPS, PFC, and special utilities.
The newest steplocked versions of magic sinewaves let you force any
desired number of low harmonics precisely to zero, while allowing you
to do so at the highest possible efficiency. By using the fewest possible
switching events.
Only recently have specialized analysis and synthesis tools become
available. Don Lancaster, Synergetics, and several Synergetics
Partners are now in the forefront of this billion dollar opportunity.
Extensive seminars, consulting, sourcecode, tutorials, licensing, CD
ROM's, and a Development Program are newly being offered.
Most library files require an Adobe Acrobat 4.0 plug in for online
viewing. Offline, these may be accessed by an Acrobat Reader or
an eBook Reader or any other .PDF accepting program.

Latest Ultra-Fast Calculators:
In Spring of 2007, a new series of stunningly improved and

are quasi to fully determininistic, are hundreds to thousands
of times faster than the earlier calculators, and offer a number
of other major user advantages.

Older Calculator User Guidelines:

Calculator user guidelines QCALCUSE.TXT Brief temporary apnote shows how to use the new "Q" series of steplocked magic sinewave JavaScript calculators. |
|
Series "V" Delta Friendly Calculators:
The latest "N" series JavaScript magic sinewave calculators are still
preliminary and might contain errors or lack optimizations.
New to these sequences are partial differential evaluations. This can
be much faster for high pulse magic sinewaves since the key calculation
complexity grows as the square rather than the cube of the number of
pulses. With partial differential evaluations, only ~changes~ rather than
entire recalculations are made.
High pulse count magic sinewaves offer some intriguing properties:
They still should be more efficient than PWM, owing to fewer edges
and single versus double switch flips. They can eliminate any audio
whine possibilities. They can allow extreme motor speed ranges. They
might permit resonant trapping or other alternate filtering options.
A new class of Magic Sinewaves called "Near Best" is newly included.
A "Near Best" solution allows the highest controlled harmonic to
assume a (usually) "small" rather than non-zero value. Since the first
uncontrolled harmonic has to be strongly filtered anyway, the last
controlled one will often not make a significant difference.
The advantages of "Near Best" magic sinewaves are that they often
calculate ridiculously faster and that they seem to be the first to hint at
a useful direct closed form solution or near solution. While offering no
significant penalty in higher pulse apps.
As before, the Steplock28N magic sinewaves remain the "best" for
a wide range of applications. Always start with these.
These calculators, while enormously difficult to create otherwise, can
be generated in a few seconds by my custom PostScript code creation
routines. You can click here for further design assistance.
