Successful TPU-ECD replication !

I am in the process of reading your TPU pdf file. VERY INTERESTING! Some of the conclusions you investigated and tabled brought to remembrance some avenues of approach I used in my primary resonant design. In essence, if I remember correctly, a resonant long wire antenna, tuned for 1/4 wavelength, coiled to the resonant frequency diameter, with overall coild spaced to give proper inductance for said frequency.

Since the TPU does not employ a capacitive disruptive discharge system, this should be much simpler to figure. Since I will be dealing with only winding capacitance.

Then, it would follow that all of the other coils then be tuned inductively to this same frequency, at either 1/2 wavelength (the impulse coils) and 1/4 wavelength for the collector. With each coil precisely "tuned" to the overall system frequency, heat production should drop, and efficiency should rise.

Remeber that a coil has a different frequency than a straight wire, unless properly wound, since you gain both inductance and capacitance. A given length of straight wire will resonate at one frequency, but when rolled into a close wound coil of a given diameter, will resonate at a different frequency. Change the coil length with the same number of turns, and the frequency changes again. Change the coil diameter, and the resonant frequency changes again. The resonant frequency of any coil is dependant upon its length, diameter, inductance, and capacitance, and wire diameter (inductance and capacitance, since less wire area leaves less capacitance, and closer winding spacing of smaller wire more inductance).

I am either going to see whether I can find the grotesque formula I used to use if I can find it in my notes, or re-formulate it again from scratch for everyone to try.

Mismatched coils will "fight" each other at any frequency, producing excess heat, and lessened efficiency.

I used to think only in terms of coil resonance, but found that the combination of the antenna/resonant coil formulas gave both extra voltage "kick" as well as high efficiency.

If anyone has a particular frequency they wished computed, I can attempt it. 

By the way, has anyone used GM starter field winding wire? 1/4" wide flat strip about 1/8" thick (makes GREAT tesla primary winding)

@everyone concerning heat

Try immersing your TPU in distilled water, making sure that all wires are long enough to leave all connections outside of the water/TPU container. The TPU should be waterproof, with rubber and enamel insulation, and distilled water should work beutifully as a heatsink.

Hello all,

@Paul

I DONT WANT a heatsink. I want to use this heat.

Its well known that heat releases particles from a metal. THIS IS what Im doing for now.

Yesterday, a cold wind blow over my TPU. I saw a voltage drop of at least 10% and my light was also affected. Im using a metal plate already.
You can imagine, if I would spread out my controls all over my collectors that this heat would be much better used and my controls wouldnt overheat every day and instead of winding every day new controls I would have more time to make tests,ha,ha.

Last week I used a thin flat cable as collector, connected in a Mobius way and with the exact lenght for a 6" TPU. The problem was in the controls because I made a big mistake. The diameter of the controls was too big. I wound them over 4 fingers but I saw some strange things and will build new controls, better, and see whats going on. I wish this flat band cable would be much thicker, with more little wires....

@Otto
Can't you use tubular copper pipes in your TPU construction and pass water in them. Hot water can be used in many kind of ways.
Try making coffee for start!

lol

i like how you answered that AhuraMazda

i had a thought verry similar to that a wile ago but i said nothing public about it i was thinking as a means of keeping the copper kool so the tpu can run longer as well as the byproduct heat could be used in an invention i desinged a long time ago the invention was called hyper heat  and was a water heater for large volumes of area

it was to be used to heat your house at verry low price but now how much cheeper can you get than free?

it was a simple invention of mine that will use only a bit of power and now with the tpu it will consume no power to operate

winter it soon on its way unfourtnaly this idea was never posted public yet but i may change this

keepin the gears spin in

isteam!!

Hello all,

@AM

an excellent idea!! Hmmm....copper tube with 3 MOSFETs, water flowing inside the tube and on this tube a coffee can, ha,ha. Just joking but.....you never know.

Now I have a lot of ideas how to use this heat.
