Testing the TK Tar Baby

PW,

Agreed.

Although the lead nomenclature could not be any clearer than FG+ and FG- (as labeled on the diagram) I think we have settled on "Probe" and "Terminal".

This is exactly why I recommended "RED" and "BLACK" since those are the colors of her output leads, and we know the "RED" is what she calls the "probe" or center conductor of the RG-58U patch cord terminated with a BNC on one end and the clips on the other end. Each of these can be positive or negative and on many FGs either can be connected to true Earth Ground if the unit can be isolated, like the F43 can be.

RED, and BLACK. She will likely understand those, since she can "refer" to the Demo Video, her photos, the circuit diagrams, and the actual hardware and they will all be consistent.

TK,

Yes, I agree now.  The drain pull down time can be seen in the capture you posted and is absent in FIG5.  As well, I would suspect the Batt mean would read a bit higher in FIG5 if six batteries were used.

So, I suppose this only means that the stated "SIX" batteries for Test 2 is another error that needs correcting to just "FOUR" batteries.  Was this corrected in later "revisions" of the paper?

PW

Nope, not unless she's corrected it in the last few minutes, which I seriously doubt. The "current" "corrected" version of the paper is where I got those last few images above, downloaded today.

"RED" and "BLACK" is fine with me too.

The colors have been there on my recent diagrams all along.

Meanwhile, back in the DeepBunker, progress continues, showing just one way in which substantial amounts of power can be transferred from a source to a load, using oscillations in the 800-1600 kHz range and properly wired and driven mosfets -- but without any intervening wires... at all.

Among other things.
