Lords of the Ring

[Dansway]

@Darren,

Look at the video of SM handling the open TPU.
SM gingerly touches the TPU to see if he is going to get shocked/fried or something.

The top an bottom ring is the collector.
The windings are only on the bottom ring for a reason.

Dan,

If you watch that video, you will see SM testing the device with his fingers after it has been powering the lamps for a couple minutes. He is checking for heat, nothing more. He even mentions "heat" right around the time he was checking it. Keep in mind that the audio and video are skewed a few seconds.

After he has confirmed the device was not too hot to handle, he picks it up and handles it while holding both rings at the same time.

So I believe from this, it's quite clear that the rings are not "hot" with voltage at all.

The only other possibility that I can think of is if the rings are quite heavily insulated.

RE quickly shorts. It can appear in many ways across the body. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. That was posted before by others, antenna and microwave engineers after my initial tests. Standard safety.

@Dan,
Hi, Your knowledge and suspicions of the aluminium are what indicated to me to put the rings on. Otherwise the coil showed no signs of life.

JDO300 mentioned the broad spectrum along with other documents I had read about lightning. Stands to reason the logic is appearing here now.

I had mentioned the conductive nature of materials when exposed to broad spectrum energy only to present a wider scope of thinking to others than just pondering to myself. These facets of differing materials hold truth. This could lead to enhancements down the line where the TPU operates in other places. This idea might be too far ahead of it's place. But I know not everybody is in the same place. It did get responses.

--giantkiller. Thanks.
