Hi all,
I am an experienced Pic programmer. I also have great experience with Mosfets. I have put together a supposed TPU controller that can spin 8 coils in any direction. I used a Pic chip to control the frequency and I used very large FET?s to spike the coils. I tried the unit on a TPU type coil structure that I made. I was able to get the TPU to run the frequency generator and the drivers to the Fet?s part of the system but, it would not sustain the hole load of the coil and the system. I don?t think I have the right coil design but I do believe my controller is working correctly. I can manipulate the code to make the controller do whatever I want. I made the controller with an interface to HyperTerminal to adjust the speed of rotation and the duration or Pulse width of the pulses on time.
Utilizing this controller I can monitor some voltages in the device .The Pic I used has 8
A to Ds in it .
I am seeking a coil structure and some one to work with on obtaining a working unit. I saw the posting on the tpu_end_game. pdf posting .I followed this but still no luck. Perhaps it would be helpful if you all could post me some questions. The controller I build does work.
I prefer to talk over the phone so if some one would like to contact me that would be fine. Please send me your contact info via this website.

I have a crucial question which relates to a design I am working on and will post in due course. I there a way to stop current flowing in both directions around a copper collector without the power loss associated with a diode? Is there an alternative method or way of doing that which is effective but more power efficient?

Acerzw

yes there is a way

however it points teslas way

what did tesla use as a diode?   lets see if someone else can tell what he used  for a high efficiency diode

Please re-read my above post where I talked about the one-way street.  The magnetic field is key.

...and what if you applied a form of induction that is normally in both directions of a wire to the "one way street"? Like squeezing a hose...with a check valve at one end.

@Grumpy
Would using a simple diode on one end of the wire do that?  If so, you have given me another idea for an experiment to carry out on the MTPU.

I don't think so.   A tube diode may work as some are close to "ideal", but I do not think this is the "right" approach - but it may work anyway. 

I'm referring to a form of dielectric induction and it's effect on electromagnetic in current conductors.  My understanding is that the induced current or "effect" can be in either or both directions and this is determined by the interaction between dielectric field in one wire and the electromagnetic field in another wire (I don't like the word "field" but it will work for now). 

So, one set of parameters may slow down the drift of electrons - reducing current, and another set of parameters would increase drift - increasing current.
