I found a circuit that I think might work good, with a few modifications for a controller. I have a few questions about this circuit. Thanks in advance to whoever helps me.
1. Is there any advantage to using a positive and negative power supplies?
2. How can this circuit be changed to a single supply voltage using a 324 op amp?
3. I don't exactly understand how the ramp is created. Does it have anything to do with the LM129?

4. Can I use an ordinary zener or does it have to be that special one?
5. I plan to substitute a 10K pot for LM135 to monitor the batteries voltage. Will that work? And also use a mosfet instead of the bipolar. The heat element will be substituted by batteries.
