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

Day 3 progress:
I went down to around 200hz. The tuning fork example of 'C' puts it at 261.6hz.
My 3 555 are @ 2.2Uf, 2.2Uf, & 4.7Uf. Yes they don't match!!!!!! Thank God. U see I have no kill switch and my single turn 500k pots are sloppy. So freqs don't match up real real close. But I'll tell you what!!! at around 200hz when you tweak and the freqs get on, the coil gets real hot, real fast! Like in 2 seconds! So there is another SM step accomplished. I am telling to the put buzzmags on the coil! This is an audible feedback device that is neccessary! Notice the high number of exclamation marks in this post?
When u put your hand on the coil as you tweak, you can sense a buzzing, a tingling, and sparking to and with your hand.
I don't believe i got any rem sleep. Up a 5:00 am. Not normal.
Equipment:
I can honestly use the term duct tape and bailing wire.
My scope is a Heathkit 20mhz I built.  My 20mhz freq counter is a Radio Shack kit I built. I use two digital multimeters. 3 - 555s. It is all old crap but look at the pieces of glass Galileo use to see the universe.
Advice for equipment:
Get a dual trace storage scope or non storage. Best money spent. Everything you can build from scratch. Not a scope.
Other progress:
I followed Tao's drawing. Tnx Tao.
Schematic has been posted above. Tnx Otto.
I moved magnets. tnx Marco.
with the higher freq +1k the coil screams. That is the screaming ferrite bead experiment by CTGlabs. Tnx.
I generated heat. Tnx SM. This step is just a tweak shy from overunity.
I listened to Steve Mark. Thank you very much. I will be careful in all that I do.
What does day 4 bring? You tell me. I am one day away from becoming an entrant on the 'Dead scientists' list. Seriously, I got watch dogs and a machine gun in the bed.
In one of the SM videos at the big table on the marble floor. Just before he goes outside you can hear large dogs barking. And they are very close. What does that tell you?
Mallove and Brown are no longer here. What does that tell you. Paranoid? You step up to the challenge and put your ass in front of the parade and tell us what you feel.
As a previous post pointed out, 'Why does this site fail everytime big progress is made?'.
You tell me. And be careful in these endeavors...

--giantkiller. Hence the name.

Good work Giant.

When you increase your PSU rating and drop your resistor values, make sure you have your 'kill switch' at hand. You will be resonating and your collector coil will want to take anything your PSU can deliver, so things will get very hot indeed!

Be careful how you measure your output closed loop current, it may not be what it appears!

GK,

I was noticing the same about this site. Was also thinking the same. Hummmm.


BTW, tried the wiring with the other TPU no real results since the TPU has 6 control coils per layer and it uses 18AWG. I finished the new collector/control coils last night. I will be assembling them tonight so I should have it up and running tonight (if not tomorrow night after work). I still need some MOSFETS though. I wil probably get the IRF840's (NTE2238), I do have some high power NPN's for TV deflectors yoke coils, I may try them if I cannot get my hands on those FETs.

Will be posting more soon!

So, this morning I turn on my Doomsday device / TPU and things are falling out of the sky?
I guess SM was right. Go figure.

I take it that this is just a step above MIB attraction. I will fire this up again tonight and call 'em back.

--giantkiller. More to come...

GK,
As none of us really knows the principals of TPU operation, may be your DDD works different to what you think:

P.S. I will watch "London tonight" for any abnormal news reports.
