Otto`s replication of Steven Mark`s TPU

Maybe Otto pumped all of that power into another grid...

...and by the way most fuses in homes are +\- 20 amps so you had to blow that one first with your 30A!!!!!!

Not if he had a penny stuck in it.

As a person who has designed and built grid tie and phase control circuitry you must have a number of circuit components in order to "pump power back through the grid". One is a zero crossing sensor which in turn tells you when and where to create your sine wave in phase with the grid power.

If you don't do this you smoke any component used to connect to the mains. The power being "pumped back into the grid" must be of sine wave of the same frequency and voltage (voltage within reason).

Unless I'm shown different that is the only way I personally know of doing it without creating lots of smoke.

Hello all,



I would say more time with his little test

and less time with one little detail of his experience which was a joke! (Be mindfull of humor in translation)

Perhaps It was going to the earth via the grid....it is not very important ..who got the power.

It is very important that he smoked a coil.

Hi Otto,
If you have extra power to feed back into the grid you need a grid tie-in inverter as used for solar panel arrays:

This one is not cheap but there are bound to be cheaper ones on the market.
