Instead of caps and diodes I use a transformer.

still without 15Ω as 555 workaround give rubbish at pin 3! subsapling 50ms/s is good for chaos use at least 1ms/s. 1:1000 transformer have on secondary side an inductivity of 600000H !! All in all not a big step ahead.

That's crazy. Wouldn't it be 2400H? 1 turn=600mH(.6H). 1turn- 1k turns(1,000 turns). 1,000 turns×.6H=600H. 4 transformers in series. 600H×4 transformers = 2400H. Yeah true! Lol.

its not linear, its a quadratic relation between primary to secondary impedance. The voltage is linear 1:1000 related V ti 1000V but not the impedance! The impedance is 1:1000² which is 1:1000000 with 0.6H in your case its 1000000*0.6=600kH

BTW, this parallel or series of transformes not taken into account, which makes it only more complicated without any need.

Hurz, curious, noticed on several 555 type circuits you recommend a 15Ω resistor on pin 3. What does that accomplish?

its a natural current limiter and avoids ridicouls voltages at pin3 check it out yourself with capacitive loads with and without 15 or better 15.1 Ohm you will see the big difference a which of the circuits crashes in simulation and which one runs forever 😀

Thankyou hurz! 😀 I learned something from u today. That makes totally sense. ☺

The current limiter I'm assuming is to protect the 555 output from damage too. Lol

thats nice to hear, always a big pleasure if young engineers say "thanks i have learnd something", thats the biggest persent you can make me as an old engineer! Thank you!

maybe @lenzrulz can now understand when i say thank you on an thank you! Maybe he will never have that feeling cause he will never be a teacher as he is not even learning as a noob. what a pitty
