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

GK,
I think Dave and Turbo deserve thanks too.
With regards saftey, you can always nail your TPU to the table. Also keep physically away from the TPU. I am one of those who believes lukimea is caused by radiation.

Turbo was in the list, sorry dave. Included.
I remember back in October the express warning given by SM about a tuned ring behaving as a bomb if the freqs got just close enough to start a runaway syndrome. It can happen very fast. The kill switch is integral next. After I experienced how fast the coil heated up and the rest of the circut did not! I knew I had found it. After I posted, I was personally given a safety warning. I will not take shortcuts. I have 2 very fine, show trained Welsh Corgis and I will not jepeordize them.
I am taking no chances. The next steps are way beyond the talk. They are real. I want to be in control.

I should add about the gyroscopy. When I had the window freqs set and got the vwoohoomp noise. With the mags in place I got jerks. Again not the same speed as the pulses or the mags. And with that field strength, when you move the ring i could feel the jerking. Let me add though that I didn't have but 2 inches of space. That is why I reconfiguring for portability. I am also replacing the pcb pots. They don't hold their positions very in a fine tuning need. Hence the variations of everything. Blah. Total crap. The wiping was like a gravel road. If one needs 0.xxx of a change then pots first, crystals later.

I really need to get away from these metals. The results are crap. I want gold everything and high precision milspec clocks.

But my days of grabbing the ring are over. I will advance in a more deterministic manner.

This is a status call.
Is anybody still winding or are there any questions.
Figured I'd keep this public so others can gain insight into situations.

And think about this: The day I posted, access to OU became bottlenecked with traffic. Guess what happens when #2 post his results?

@Stefan,
could you possibly post the traffic counts for this week? I'd like to record that in my resume. Tnx.

That is good.
When I was doing the mag wire part I would take it to work and during lunch sit there like a little old lady knitting.

Mag wire tip: use a propane torch and just scorch the ends. Then wipe off with emery cloth. For terminal block connection use a piece of stripped 22 gauge and wrap a couple turns of the mag around it and solder. Then you got a sturdy connection. I got 24 of em.

I have 3 of my terminal blocks folded back to the ring and attached. Now I am just shortening jumpers. It is going to look very concise. Just like I wanted. I wound it with all leads going out for total configurability. Now that I got what I need it comes back to haunt me. I just of something. Previous TPUS that had the leads on the inside never ran fully. oh well, we learn.

Good status, but don't hurry unless you are really excited. Then I can't stop ya. tnx.
