I've built the John Bajak's flux capacitor!

I put the device close last night, and I might have woke up earlier than usual. I usually wake up at 6:45, but today I woke up at 6:20. But I'm going to have to continue to keep it next to me at night to see if I'll always be waking up earlier than usual.

For the John Bajak's flux capacitor was the G1 and G2 potentiometers or rheostats, or one of each?
I didn't really finish it yet. I will try adding two potentiometers, two rheostats, and one potentiometer and one rheostat to see which one works best. Then I'll let you know.

Hello,
I'm think about building John Bajack Flux Capacitor with Original Plans.

Flux Capacitance Time Travel Circuit
(c) John Bajak 1990


B1 27 volt source
C1 1200 uF 50V electrolytic
P1 piezoelectric transducer (value uncritical)
S1 charging switch (SPST)
G1 25-ohm rheostat (future control)
G2,G3 switch (SPST) and 1M-ohm potentiometer for past control

< Transcriber's note: I don't know whether G1 and G2 are really supposed
to be a rheostat and a potentiometer, or both rheostats, or both pots. He
refers to two rheostats elsewhere, and I was just going to call them pots
until I remembered that rheostats would have some inductance. >


How is my part I've selected? What box size is good? and What other part do I need?

Here are the numbers on Mouser Parts (Mouser Part IDs):
633-M2011SS1G01
490-CPE-6080
665-AT3045TFLW110R
667-EEU-FC1H122

I think the SPST switch is fine. As for the capacitor, as long as it's 1200uf and 50V, it should be fine. But as for the transducer, I'm not sure because I tried using a piezo buzzer. But still, I think you should try using the transducer, then if it doesn't work, use the buzzer. You could also try adding a piezoelectric crystal to see if there will be any difference. As for the box, I didn't put mine in a box yet because I still didn't finish it. But it should be somewhere from 10 to 30cm.

Okay, I'm almost done getting the parts I might put the order through Tomorrow.
you can try other ways to , read this all of it and go experiment fill me in the results when you get them
I tried reading it but I couldn't really understand his handwriting.
yes it is a bit hard to read but the circuits easy to read at least , ive done some testing of 2 out of all my electromagnets and using the 240vac 50hz to american 120 volts converter and i get better results when i take the 2 magnets off the electromagnet at the end so its a bit strange im documenting it in my book
