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

[starcruiser]

All,

I have finally finsihed my next TPU, I am now going to wire it up and try a few minor tests. I will check the control coil inductances and inter coil capacitances.

@zpe,

I will let you know the actual readings I get.

zpe,

is that per control coil or layer?

I just extended the first test. Schematic is the same, just different values for the inductance and resistance.

Again, this is only a simulation of Otto's proposed proof of "something" test with the 50 turns on your two fingers.

The most important thing to test in my mind, is to see if there is a difference in  running the bulb wire inside the coil, and outside it. If there is no difference between the two tests, then there is nothing new or unusual about this setup, i.e. no ou.

PS. @SC: I'll re-run the sim with your actual coil values.

Well ZPE, I am thinking that with 4 coils each 170 turns of 16AWG copper would provide a more realistic representation of an actual TPU layer, what do you think?

Just finished dinner so out to the shop to perform those tests.

Yes I agree. In my mind though, we still need to analyse and figure out what SM means by "several segments". We're walking in the dark if we don't.

Trifilar may be the answer.

Hello all, today is the 8.January 2007

Gearhead and ZPE figured it out, but you dont know whats going on. You are confused and thats good because your awake.

With my test I profed that our "TPUs" cant work as we hoped!! Hej guys, with this little coil 10 or 20 grams( its NOT important) heavy I got almost the same results as with my BIG 6" "TPU"!!!
My 40W,60W,100W light bulb was almost glowing like in my "TPU".
As I saw this, in a short moment I thouht f..k the TPU. But now I understand!! All our TPUs are a "developing tool". What I mean is we had to start with something. We had to see whats going on in the coils, how to connect them, mix the frequencies, see  adding the kicks, see how various frequencies interacts one with another, to be short we had to LEARN.
Now, I have learned a lot. Its my (our) time to do concrete work. Yes, I have a theory and every day my theory is better and better and my test results gives my the confirmation that Im right.
You would ask if I have a "TPU". In this moment I have nothing exept my test results. Yesterday I had to remove all the windings from my old "TPU" and in this moment I have a lot of wires.Nothing more.
You see on top of my post a date. My D-day,  to say so, is the 30.January 2007 because on this day a year ago all started here with Mr.Mannix first post. On this day I will have a working TPU or at least a much better "thing" as I had. Maybe it will not be self sustaining and hanging on my power supply but it will be much BETTER. How Im so sure??
I did my homework! I have test results!! I have facts! If they failed, then you call me a lyer!!!
