Lords of the Ring

How bout you keep your brown shorts discreet.

Ahh, potty humor. The universal funny.

I was so deep into the theory that I almost missed that one!  ...   

Did I actually write, "brown short," this morning?

What an awful term.  But, then again, it has been an awful past century, in that it was not what it might have been,... electronically.  So, yeah, brown short device fits.  Folks in the future will brown their shorts when they hear how long we actually paid for the use of each electron, on top of the device cost itself.

well i finished most of the rings there 3 of them there are 4 control windings on them they will be hooked up bucking i used 5 feet of 18 ga speeker wire folded it in half than rolled a pancake coil for all the collectors and they are waound all the same dirrection then i used 18 ga magnet wire and i used 5 feet per control it worked to 40 turns per control and a total of 20 feet of magwire per collector

and 2 of my rings are the same and the other 1 is diffrent all of my control windings are wound in the same dirrection but i think that the top ring will travel in 1 dirrection and the bottom in the other and the center ring will spin in same dirrection as top 1


i will add my pictures soon  and a few more thoughts on how it might be hooked up

what you see so far in my pic is NOT AT ALL FINISHED!! i have more work to do on it but im still thinking on how i will get it done but ithink steel will be involved and mabe just some alum too but humm...   where and how im still thinking


also if you think of how many posible ways you could hook it up you could just go crazy but i think i have a cupple good ideas on how to hook it all up 

is

so far in my pictures i have 5 bucks from the dallor store and to disgarded transfrmers from old cordless drill chargers  source of my mag wire but im still not done this unit yet i think that there is still more to it

I know that they lie hidden somewhere in the jungle.  I know their similar physical forms, but I know not their rhythms, much less their melody.

I can hold them in my hand.  Yet, I can not find them in the jungle.

I consult the great web with dimensions and specifications.  A path is given.  I cut my way through the undergrowth of spreadsheets, capacitors, potentiometers, and wires with nothing but an old scope and a cheap multimeter to light my way.

Stumbling over another dead pile of nine volts, I fall on my face each night and awake lost in the jungle, once again, the following day.

I gnash my teeth as I do the reach around, once again, and try not to dig too deep into my ever thinning wallet for help.  It is the only way, sometimes, and this is one of those times.


Henry promised to help me find them.  I need this to find Henry first.

Hmmmm how poetic 

I bought one of those exact LCR meters from eBay for $31.90 including shipping. It definitely works great for our purposes and I suggest that all serious TPU builders have one in their equipment collection .
