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

[AhuraMazda]

For anyone who thinks they may become super rich out of selling "TPU", this is my personal experience. I had an electronic device for manufacture. I contacted a Chinese manufacturer. I had a patent and asked how secure was my invention. He said that irrespective of the patent, the device would be reversed engineered and coming out of lots of factories with in 3 months of hitting the market. I guess anyone working on TPU should work for serving the man kind. I guess you would make more money out of publishing your design notes and memoirs than the TPU itself.

That's absolutely correct, the only option is wide spread disclosure to many sources, and not just FE sites either, wherever you can find a place to post the information, that people might take an interest.

Open source the technology, and it cannot be supressed.

Nobody will make money from it, leastwise the inventor.

People without the skill to build them themselves may pay for people to assemble kits for them, but that's the limit of the money making ability of it. At least in my estimation.

Can anyone recommend any LARGE ferrite core suppliers in the UK? I am after 5 inch ones.

Thanks

Okay, I agree,
if Dave and Marco will come forward and want it to spread,
I could use my forum?s newsletter option,
which I did not use yet
and send a newsletter out toall 3918 users so far
with the description how it works.
This would help spread the information very widely already.

Hi AM,
What are you using the ferrite core for?
Farnell in one do a Ferrox cube E core:

They also sell the bobbin and spring clips to clamp the whole lot together.

If you are after the Metglas cores then you will need to order from the States.
Elna Magnetics sell the AM-320 C core for about ?60 plus shipping (about ?107).
