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

[giantkiller]

There are 3 ON steps. Turn on circuit and scope shows no freq, but the magnets align slightly. 8 secs pass the scope line wiggles, then 1 second and freq displays, @ ten seconds the harmonic impacts show up with the hi spikes and the coils sing a glorious tune!

Eight seconds of magnet exposure before anything happens.  I wonder how many here have had something that would have worked, (or still may work,) but they used no magnet or they used a magnet and only waited seven seconds or less.

I recall the video of SM holding, waiting, and moving a magnet, (or something removed from his pocket which I assume to me a magnet,) in and around his coils.  Especially that one larger TPU that was giving him some trouble.  Or perhaps he was trying to chase vampires out of his coils with a clove of garlic. 

@giantkiller:

What happens when you remove the magnet after your "giantkiller-TPU-04a" is up to full speed; does it slow to a stop or does it keep going?

Yeah. When I first realized the latency, I had an Oh sh...! moment. How many times had most been here and turned a control right past a prospective mark. I got this repeatedly at the 400-700hz range. I am going back in tonight to do a double take and post same or very much better.
Oh well, press on.

@Otto, is Iron dangerous? I hope so...
Papers read: Man dies of personal EMP blast. No more to come. LOL.

12v in 130 out! Big ass spikes!

Well, it looks like it may be a happy new year after all.  Congratulations.  Take a deep breath.  Crack open a cold one. 

I know a light bulb video is no proof, but just for your own curiosity did you try to light a bulb; what happened?

Thanks for that. I will hook up something tonight. I did see my 130V @0.75 amp spikes with a grounded scope. So we will see.

There is definately a 1:1 match with the input freq and the spikes on the leading edge. But you can make them disappear with frequency changes.
Phase one was definately a 'Depends parade'. Now that a day has gone by and I've gotten feedback I can take a better approach. It comes under the 'You never know what you got until you can clarify it'. Kind of a different love song.

Phase two will be a better approach.

Could somebody else please hook up and power. It is lonely up here.

--giantkiller. Hence the name? These shoes might be too big.

Awsome .. you have finally craked it .. you have a working tpu ?

[IronHead]

So you have finally decided to turn it on . Like I stated back on page 28.

Thats good to hear .Now break out the old tuning fork.

@giantkiller,

I sent a message to otto the other day that, since I still have no scope, I consider myself a 'phase-two' builder.  'Phase-one' builders, like yourself, can tweak and test variations for improved designs.  All I can do for now is 'build-to-print.'

I probably speak for everyone here without access to fancy equipment that wishes to build.  We have been scolded and told to go away.  No.

Thank you for your build instructions.  They may help us phase-two builders.  They will certainly help the phase-one builders that can test their replications and cover any gaps in detail that could not be found here.

If turbo gets his own topic for his happy-magic-fun-time then surely you know that you have more than earned your own topic.  (And stop calling me Shirley.  )  Perhaps, "Giantkiller Unsheathes his Sword!"  Or, "Giantkiller Powers his TPU for Battle!"

Perhaps you could assemble all of the necessary replication details of TPU#4 in your new topic?

I would not mind looking for each detail myself were it not for the facts that I might grab the wrong thing, I might miss something, and finally "User 'hartiberlin1' has exceeded the 'max_questions'?" started happening again the minute that you hit pay dirt--what a grand annoyance!

Oh, and I just want you to know that we're all counting on you.  (Please do not let the boogieman chase you and all of your contributions away.  )
