Ronotte's amazing TPU experiments.

Hi PLT,

your observation is of course correct. Using only one oscillator phase relation is fixed........but there I've found the maximum output.

The whistler wave is a catalyst and it's necessary and could be seen as a way to start/maintain the TPU process. I do actually experimenting in this way, the problem is that it's not clear how much catalyst field it's necessary!...probably all the tpu shoul be immersed in a high voltage catalyst field.

Best regards

Hi Roberto,

Thank you for asking. my mosfet was slow. 

I did a small unit for learning. A bit change your circuit
and ...got short circuit

Hello ronotte,

2 quick  questions:

1.) In the 2magclashtpu document you give the dimensions of your first TPU as
Inner diameter 18,0 cm ( ~7")
Outer diameter 23,0 cm (~9")

Why did you choose these dimensions?

2.) In your experiments you found a reaction at the NMR frequency of 5 MHz.
What would you consider the ideal diameter for the (inner) collector loop (i.e. loop antenna diameter) for 5 MHz?

Hi Gustav,

1 - no special reasons, just I wanted to ease my winding work.
2 - This is really interesting as I've thought to put that NMR freq in resonance in order to see if I could obtain a significative power output. I did some experiments...I am an old Ham and do know very well mag-loop-antenna but after some time I did not go on as Jacob told me to pursue the catalyst way, so I stopped the NMR enhancement study. Anyway as you can see from the pictures in 2magclashtpu the NMR swing is actually (on 3 turns Litz inner collector) high: more than 100V if I remember well on first swing. I do think that properly tuning the Inner collector on 5 MHz much more continous power could be extracted...it seems that none is following this route...I don't know why.

Hi Roberto,

thanks for your answer.

...I... do know very well mag-loop-antenna but after some time I did not go on as Jacob told me to pursue the catalyst way, so I stopped the NMR enhancement study.

I understand, but I don't think that the
- NMR effect and the
- magnetic reconnection effect
are mutually exclusive. To the contrary. I think both effects have to work together.
After all  you need two magnetic fields to get magnetic reconnection and the the NMR effect gives you one field FOR FREE.
