Here is a link to some info on the Drake Model of magnetic reconnection.

So having a static magnetic field up against the transformer core actually adds a little bit of power to the transformer when it is first turned on. So if this static mag field is suppled by a small external magnet rather than the remanence of the core, then you get a small boost in power output for free .

Just thought I'd toss that out to ya.

Your post reminds me of a hurricane in Florida I witnessed a few years ago where all the surrounding electric transformers blew up. Instead of a few sparks from the transformers, they literally lit up like fireworks. Very interesting.

Hi Marco/Turbo!

Thanks for the tips.

I wish I could talk with you on Skype or Yahoo Messenger? Seriously....

@All,
Based on present tuning work I am working on the basis that the TPU winder should start out with the collector and the controller wire being the same length or some integer based divisible ratio. This model only applies to a single collector layer.

I am working on a application that allows the user to enter the resonance ratio, the coil support material / substrate outside diameter, coil support material / substrate height, and the number of collector loops a coil could start out with.
The program will then calculate, based on a wire gauge table, the correct lengths of the collector length and the matching controller coil length in inches and millimeters.

Other data that appears is the number of control turns and if the rim distance * 4 will fit on the coil support material / substrate. A caveat here it something that Rosphere mentioned about each control coil spread across the substrate rim equadistant to the quandrant that each occupies or each turn specifically adjacent to the previous turn with no gap. In a bucking coil arrangement each controller coil should be touching its neighbor.

By playing with the resonance ratio, the program will show the correct ratiometric ramifications to the paired coils.

My final stage will show the on resonant percentage value into overunity or runaway. A value of 100% is self destruct. You must evacuate the area immediately!

I have tweeked the development using numerous coils of mine and other posters. So far it clearly shows why some work and some don't.

I will be working on the software through the week end and should have something to post next week about how this application will work as finished product.
It is extremely interesting to make enteries and see what the performance is for different winding parameters. One can get a clear view of how to start that is somewhat closer that just picking a wire, wrapping it up, a cutting off the ends to make the TPU look pretty, and expecting it to run. It just ain't happening. It all starts from the beginning. Plain and simple.

I thought I would add this to the tuning mix. The RB(resistor bridge) could be a TPU?

Things are moving along quite nicely, eh? We are upto 30k hits. Thanks guys.

GK,

Seems like a nice bit of work your up against. The only concern that I have is that without a working TPU how can you work this out. You may have everybody winding coils based on your calculations that may not be correct as far as a working TPU is concerned. Could be a huge waste of time for a lot of people. We are not even convinced if the TPU consists of three or four control windings. However, any helpful calculations based on wire length, coil diameter and resonant frequency could be very helpful. I like your enthusiasm but it seems to me that you are always two steps ahead. We need to wait until someone gets a unit working. Then we need to replicate it a few times. Now we can work on a spreadsheet to calculate the parameters.

Just my two cents.
