Lords of the Ring

Here is a better ring driver circuit I call a cascade buck booster, it works on the principal that a coil or inductance will accept current slower than a capacitor. Buck boosters or DC-DC converters can be up to 95% efficient in stepping up DC voltage. As well this is a recycler circuit, you will notice forward current is always driven to the right, upon charging C2 at high voltage it returns to the battery through D3-L3. This is the correct way to design circuits, it is a simple process-step up voltage all through the process and return to source.

Here is the process
-C1,C2 charge to 12V
-J1 closes then opens quickly, this produces a large current flow through L1 initially, when J1 opens the Bemf raises the voltage determined by the duty cycle of J1,this moves through D1 to C1 and charging C1 to a higher voltage, this is a conventional buck booster.
- However, the Bemf from L1 will charge C1 faster than the current can move through L2, so C1 charges then pushes the current through L2 after a slight delay. During this slight delay J2 is closed then opened. This creates an additive effect on L2 as it is fed from C1 and which then pulls from V1 through L1. clear as mud! It gets worse.
- this is a cascade partially forced resonant system, meaning there is natural resonance between (L1-C1-L2), (C1-L2-C2), (L2-C2-L3) in that order, but working voltage and duty cycle are determined by the duration of J1 and J2 and the spacing between there cycles.
- So we have a circuit to pulse L1-L3 with fast pulse high voltage spikes from a low voltage source(V1 @ 12volts), as well all current is moving in a forward direction(V1-L1-D1-C1-L2-D2-C2-D3-L3-V1) a loop.
- The scope shot shows what happens when J1 is opened then closed-then J2 is opened then closed, this cycle repeating. Working voltage in the system is determined by the delay in time between J1 and J2 cycling.

I use DC-DC converters or Buck boosters on everything I build, Transformers are old news, so give this try and you will see higher efficiency with minimal components. It should be obvious you can generate very high voltages at high frequency so be careful.

These are cool. I use them too.

Thoughts Are Things

I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They?re endowed with bodies
and breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth?s remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose then thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.

To me it sounds like it is "just" the wires attracting/repelling each other that causes the unit to vibrate/kick. There are no "magic" in that - unfortunately 

You probably have not read that JM believes the TPU interacts with the magnetic field of the earth.  The principle is the anomolous surge of current in a conductor when a switch is switched on.  The extra current is supposed to come from the earth's magnetic field.  If that is so and multiple "kicks" can be induced and collected then that is where the "magic" comes from.

Do you believe this current is due to the earths field and is not normal inrush current?  We have been over this many times but generally the answer is that its inrush current caused by normal circumstances?

If the earths field can cause an extra current to flow, then surely all it does is help electrons flow from the source faster than normal and if so, it will deplete a battery faster, so there is there anything free?

Are you able to show us or tells us a demonstration to show there is extra current for free from the earths field interaction?!

Steven Mark has mentioned this interaction since the beginning.  So far only a couple of references have been found about it, but generally the "kick" has been a mechanical movement due to the earths field interacting with the wire, no extra current.  Any references you can provide would be great.


Thanks,
