The VIC Matrix Circuit, drawn

Figure 7-8 of the Technical Brief, Meyer's VIC Matrix Circuit (690), built from parts in the library. The chokes are not ideal inductors and he did not draw them as such: each carries its winding resistance Rs, its core loss Rp and its distributed capacitance Cd, and the cell is a capacitance Cp with the water's resistance Re across it. Choose the parts and every element takes a value, with a note on where it came from; then move the drive and watch the loop answer.

Nothing is drawn until you choose parts. Pick a cell, two chokes and, if there is one, the transformer — or load a saved circuit — and press Build the circuit.

Built on Simulate a VIC: chokes, cell and pulsed drive and the VIC simulator, which resolve the parts into L, C and R through named calculations. The parasitic elements are estimated by formulas stated on each element and are meant to be overwritten with bridge readings, such as Don Gabel's readings of the VIC 5 coils. The drawing is Figure 7-8 in the catalogue.
