Successful TPU-ECD replication !

[Gregi]

Hello All,

Unlike the Ergo guy, (blahhh...) I've read all these 64 pages and also some 30 pages of the first SM topic that Lindsay opened more than a year ago. I read only about 30 pages,because then I stumbled upon this topic and then I couldn't get off of it so exciting it is.
Of course I plan to replicate Otto's device, I just need more understanding of how it is done, and also need to buy stuff...
What do you guys think of Bruce's last post? It seems really interesting what he is saying.
Anyways, I hope I will be testing soon and will be able to add something to this project.
Until then, a big THANKS to all of you who participate in this. Wonderful work! 

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

YOU ARE WELLCOME

I apologize for not reading the thread yet in it's entirety,  however, has there been a list of necessary equipment posted yet for all of us aiming to replicate this procedure?  I saw the PDF which does a great first step in organizing the info,  but I'd like to get started on a step by step.  I'm willing to put this together if none already exists.

@All,
I spent about an hour re-watching the SM youtube videos that Jeremy Gaul posted:
http://www.youtube.com/user/jeremygaul

So what do we know:
1. You need to move electrons through the wire to create the effect.
2. Flame effect when touching wires together.
3. Slows to a stop when inverted. (note - slows, does not stop instantly).
4. Works better when a magnet is introduced.
5. Washboard + gyroscope effect at 7.3Hz
6. Output of DC pulsed at around 5000Hz
7. A primary and secondary frequency input (in the case of the 17 " TPU).
8. 35705 Hz mentioned in amplifier project.
9. 245000 Hz also mentioned as the upper frequency of output transformer in amplifier project.
10. Voltage output in proportion to diameter of TPU.
11. Appears to have a large finned aluminum heat-sink  in the centre of the large TPU. (cooling the 2 x mosfets perhaps?)

So guess what happens if you divide 35705 / 7.3 ?
answer: 4891 (5000 Hz)

Coincidence? Maybe not.

Also 7 x 35705 = 249935 Hz
249935 / 4891 = 51.1
Yes I know its only 7 and not 7.3, but maybe this is close enough.
So what happens if you pulse two coils in close proximity with 35705 Hz and 7.3 x 35705 = 260646 Hz ? ( peaks line up 7.3 times a second).
Will you get a beat frequency of 7.3 Hz?

Hi Gregi,

SM didn't use an adjective to describe the word resonance, so it is impossible to interpret what he meant.

I interpret the following:
Quote from answering investors Email:
"The outer toroidal coil overheats and has no magic factors inside it other
than a length of the coil which is cut until resonance is established."

to mean Mhz range, with a much lower probability of being in 100s of kHz.

A resonance at 7 some Hertz implies a wire length in coil of 24284 miles = 39081.309 km,
respectively a TPU circumfrence of this length.  Resonance is tied to physical dimensions, whether acoustic, EM, or optic.

One could also interpret the following:
Quote from answering investors Email:
"The outer toroidal coil overheats and has no magic factors inside it other
than a length of the coil which is cut until resonance is established."

to mean that a low-distortion sinewave FET oscillator is being used with two coils, one for the drain and the feedback winding for the gate.  Resonance in this sense also means self-oscillation frequency.  The frequency stability would likely be rather miserable, although the sinewave could have low distortion.

Without more info from SM, some experiments will have to be with sines and others with square waves.

Lots of questions to answer means lots of experiments.
