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

Hi Dansway, Vortex1,
I believe the TPU device is true but not the one from Turbo. He may be on the way towards a close loop TPU but not yet. About the step up converter, when you choose the best MOS-FET (very low on/off voltage) and a good driver circuit and matching primary coil. It could be minimize the lost to be very high efficiency enough for 10 second show. But if you use the bipolar transistor you at least lost (0.6V * I) due to the drop of the diode. Driving the MOS-FET needs a higher voltage for the threshold of the Gate. So for simplicity a 9V cell is more suitable than a 6V lithium cell to do the magic show. Because all we know the 9V cell is weak cell. He may be so kind to encourage us to really try it out and speed up the research. He knows what we will ask. He should simply (disconnect the 9V cell or tell how long the cell will last) instead of so many rows of sentence. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi wattsup,

I believe that your idea is right on par with what Mr. Mark has been telling us all along. It's the inrush current that is the secret to the kick. Remember the reference Mr. Mark made to the valve amplifiers book? That initial current/voltage spike when you first connect the circuit is what I believe the kick is. So if you make enough of them at the right frequency (so that the waves add in the space of the toroid), then you can multiply the power exponentially without an appreciable input from the transistor. Then it's simply a matter of making a circuit which can safely feed some power back in (or a 9V battery) to maintain the oscillations to excite the kicks in the coil.

At this point, my thought is that Mr. Mark inputs two frequencies, which produce the third (beat?) frequency in the coil. It is this third frequency that travels around the ring at 7.8 (or 5000) or whatever Hz to produce the power. Again just my speculations.

God Bless,

You are correct, it is possible to produce a quick light of lamp with a small battery. It is not possible for 3 to 5 minutes. I wish the demonstrators would  be so kind as to provide voltage / current monitor of their source battery if one is used. As for lamps, clear glass visible filaments preferred with scope on output.

I believe these gentlemen may have something good, why muddy the water with magic shows. Use a lamp base so the bulb doesn't burn your fingers, then you can leave it on longer for a real impressive demo. Just a suggestion. Congratulations to them anyway.

Turbos device is very interesting and simple.

Reminds me that the other day I was just fooling around with a 12 volts DC 4A battery and some transformers. I was trying to see if using regular off the shelf transformers would have any effects when hitting the battery terminals, sort of like the kick you guys talk about. I put my voltmeter on the output of the transformers and set it at 1000 vdc.

After trying about 5 different types with no results, I tried a standard 115 VAC to 12V - 0 - 12V 2A transformer Amstad brand model AM-TR-24T-2. Using the two wires on the input side, I put one end on the positive battery terminal and took the other wire and started to tap on the battery negative terminal while looking at my voltmeter. I found that by tapping on the battery terminal about 4 to 7 times per second, I was getting voltage readings from 600 to over 1000 volts dc.

I just tried that.. tapping it with 6v and multimeter showed 300-600 when set on 500v. Yet, that is not the actual voltage that it's making. If it were 300-600v it would power up something when your tapping the wire. Hooked to "neddle" type meter, it will barely jump the needle set to any voltage. Set your multimeter to a lower dc and see what it reads.  But, yeah, theres probably some pulsing going on with the real tpu.

No turbo coil schematic yet?
Is that the one that's in the pdf in the tpu.rar file from X?

Hi guys,
Remember do not use any Voltage meter to determine the pulse voltage, The reading not true, use oscilloscope please.
