user TURBO?s replication of Steven Mark?s TPU ?

Sorry, mis-post.

Hi Dave,

I have happened to see your picture and the possible explanation for that black blob is that within that display area the control of the TFT transistors are missing so those transistors cannot get any useful 'update' from the driving matrix.  Permanent fault, usually unrepairable.  If I have goofed, please let me know...

Dave indicated that the strange black blob was due to what he had displayed on his screen at the time. No screen failure.

I was thinking maybe it was a black hole he created with his TPU test, LOL

From Otto's schematic and your transistor config diagram, it shows a very low resistance path from PSU pos, through the feedback coil, into the control coils and straight onto each of your transistor collectors and then  to ground through the transistor. That would be very hot man. Could you please check this out and report back if your wiring is in fact in accordance to the drawings posted.

Spherenot,

I believe GK was referring to the feedback coil and not the control coils.

There is some debate as to whether the feedback coil should be segmented the same as the control and wired in the same manner or one continuous coil.

I am wondering if the feedback should be wound opposite the control coils (wrap direction) as in the Markovich diagram.

In any case you can wind the feedback coil in 4 segments and try those two configs, i.e. serially connect them or like the control coils, opposing (Tesla generator).

I will try both, first as Otto has done, in segments, then after validating the results Otto has gotten, I will redo the feedback in an opposed coil config.

Good morning friends and countrymen!
It is a good day to TPU!
A most importante note here:
I was refering to the feedback coil segments,
All are wound the same way, if you put a starting point towards you I wind over the top first then continue left, so from the top we go Clockwise.
All coils are pulsed in the same direction. Clockwise.

@Otto, Dude your right on! Widths don't matter. Square wave sends the wall of power smashing into the metal which creats bursts of energy, KICKS. I got 'em, I see 'em, & I FEEL 'EM! They go through my hand! and I feel the radiant field wipe across my hand like warm pudding.
'I know Kung-Fu!' quote from the matrix movie.

So I got sloppy pots. The drifts are possibly a gift or problem, i will see. But for 3 test sessions
I turn it on and I got kicks. No big deal. These are automatic now. You see the spike on the scope and at the top there is a little star! On each and every tall spike!
Now ya'll would think that if you increase the freqs you get more power coupled? Wrong! buckos. set scope at 2ms per. I see 1 to 4 spikes per sreen. It varies because of clock drift. But it's all good! You see the spikes, you hear the clicks(can you say 'KICKS?'), and when there just right the TPU heat rises, just like toaster. same speed, not level YET! In another words I cannot get maximum runaway yet. Remeber the clocks in the center of the SM17?

Now for the best part. After every test I end up an emotional wreck from the findings. Way too much joy for this vessel. So this morning I turn it on! Easy. I adjust freqs to see what causes the fastest rise in heat. And I get it. I hear it. I feel the power. And guess what I hear? Vwooohooomp, Vwooohooomp, Vwooohooomp, Vwooohooomp. Remember the sound from the movie 'Contact'. Go figure. But it is what it is.  And remember when Jodie Foster was looking into the void and exclaiming 'It's Beautiful!'. I am in that 24/7.
Now I want others to build by the specs I posted. There needs to be more minds on this plane of exuberance to change reality. This is a must...

--giantkiller. I need to take a little break. I'll be back.

Hi GK

How many amps are you pulling from your new supply with a 100W lamp on the output?

When my personal parade stops. I will do this tonight.

--giantkiller.  Yahweh cool, dudes!
