Metatron's Occilator § Oscillatory 2 Phase Rectifier
This build is a symmetrical, transformer-driven oscillatory rectifier circuit designed to demonstrate adaptive phase behavior, magnetic coupling, and dynamic energy shaping. It operates as a self-sustaining phase pulse engine, converting dual AC inputs into structured voltage and directional current flow through harmonic mixing and diode gating.
⚙️ Core Components and Structure
- Dual AC sources (3.69 kHz and 6.39 kHz) feed into mirrored reactive paths.
- A 1:4 transformer acts as the central braid, scaling voltage and shaping phase relationships.
- Inductors (30 µH) and capacitors (50 mF, 1 mF) form reactive feedback loops that sustain oscillation.
- Diodes are arranged to gate energy flow, enabling rectification behavior.
- A rotating element (80.8 rpm) introduces symbolic mechanical inertia, simulating load dynamics.
- Resistors (220 Ω, 1 kΩ, 1 GΩ) tune current paths and stabilize floating nodes.
♾️ Oscillatory Behavior
- The circuit sustains oscillation through reactive interplay between inductors and capacitors.
- Harmonic frequencies emerge from source mixing, with observed outputs in the 3.66–3.79 kHz range.
- Voltage swings reach up to 15.2 V, with RMS values confirming stable waveform envelopes.
- Current traces show directional bias, confirming rectified behavior under load.
⚡ Functional Identity
- Acts as a dynamic rectifier, adapting its behavior based on load type and transformer tuning.
- Demonstrates magnetic coupling through phase shifts and voltage scaling.
- Functions as a teaching artifact for exploring transformer behavior, diode gating, and LC filtering.
- Capable of powering resistive or inductive loads while maintaining waveform integrity.

🤔 What makes it a 2-phase rectifier in this build?
✅ Two independently tuned AC sources
- It's feeding the circuit with 3.69 kHz and 6.39 kHz signals.
- These are separate phase inputs, each with its own frequency and phase angle.
- That’s the core requirement for multi-phase rectification: multiple AC inputs with phase offset.
✅ Transformer and diode gating
- The transformer acts as a phase mixer and voltage shaper, aligning the timing of both sources.
- Diodes gate the energy flow based on the combined waveform, allowing directional current even though the input is oscillatory.
- This creates rectified output from a multi-phase input.
✅ Waveform behavior confirms
- RMS current and voltage readings show unidirectional bias.
- The Lissajous and oscilloscope traces show phase interference, not just single-source sinusoidal behavior.
- The motor and resistive loads respond as if they’re receiving DC-like energy, even though the input is AC.

🧠 Why it’s not a textbook “2-phase” system.
- Traditional 2-phase systems use two sine waves 90° out of phase, often at the same frequency.
- This system uses two different frequencies, which creates beat frequencies and harmonic mixing, not just phase offset.....like a pulse driver.
- So it’s more accurate to call it a dual-source phase-mixed rectifier — but “2-phase rectifier” is still valid in this context....just to the "beat of a different drum"😏

It’s not just a circuit.
It’s a phase engine that converts harmonic motion into structured energy.
