Steven Mark`s TPU

@Otto,

You stated the main proof. 'Watch your fingers'. That statement is proof enough. 
Now let me state mine. 'Guard your brain'.

This is for the new guys.
The light bulb test is just a light bulb at the end of a Tesla type coil configuration. Instead of seeing bluish purple sparks we see yellow light. The light bulb is merely resistance to the high speed Radiant energy.
Instead of slowing down the energy I chose to work with it at its natural speed. It connected the tpu across the stun gun and saw the plasma arc around the ring. That was cool. Dartlets, just like Telsa said. I also connected a 4 foot loop of audio cable across the stun gun, the coil and my homemade 6 inch spark gap. The next day a rocket fell out of the sky over my my hometown of Denver. Tesla also talked about that. What are the odds?

--giantkiller. I always have fun.

...when dfro speaks about the vertical coils (those with iron core and magnet on top) and perhaps also about the 4 input coils, I think he's referring to the 'Open TPU' not the standard 6" or 15" TPU as it seems that in the upmentioned units there are no vertical coils  (I may be wrong, who knows?).
Said observation is supported by the fact that the 3StackTPU dwg does show only one continuous input coil per ring (that we call Control Coil....NO vertical or other coils).
Again we know that SM made several TPU designs often using different criteria. So may be wrong mixing different designs.

@Roberto,

Perhaps the four vertical coil design detail 'evolved' over time.  It may have started with the open TPU as the four pillars positioned between the two disks, then these four vertical coils moved onto the two center toroids of the largest TPUs, and then ended up inside the 'control circuit bulge area' taped to the inside edge of the later, smaller TPUs. 

@Giantkiller, how have you been?

Hey guys,

Rereading some of SM the other night, and thinking, I have a question.  Have anyone on this forum attempted to use Litz wire for the collectors, or even for the ECD?  More and more I think that when SM said lamp chord he figured we would understand it to be litz wire.  I feel that so much stronger, after again rereading SM's following statement:

SM' words:
"Let me give you something to think about...
If you had a short wire and you moved a magnet across it you would always have limited potential because the length of wire was so short.
OK now what if we increase the length of the wire to many miles in length even with a very weak magnetic field moving across the wire you still have a much greater potential flow of power available.
If we put it into a perspective of power per inch it may be easier to understand.
If you have a small magnetic field moving across a wire twelve inches long it can generate an electron flow equal to lets say one millivolt per inch.
If you move the magnet twelve inches at the same speed you get 12 millivolts as you transgress the twelve inches of wire.
Understand that I am trying to convey a principal that you can understand for use in the future.
So, you have a wire twelve inches long and you can make 12 millivolts moving a magnet across it.
If you have a wire 1000 feet long and you move the same small magnetic field across the length of it you can create much more voltage potential perhaps 12,000 millivolts lets say.
So, you have managed to generate a significant amount of electric power with a weak magnetic force.
OK, how does this help us? where am I going with this?
Suppose you have 1,000 pieces of wire twelve inches long and you run the same weak magnetic field over them all at the same time..... you get the same flow of electrons.
If the wires are run in series then you will get the 12,000 millivolts etc.
If you connect the wires in parallel you will get higher current but lower voltage.
However, the power potential is the same whether you run the wires in series or parallel.

This is the same wording he used in describing the collectors as output!  This sounds like 9 individual wraps of 106 strand litz wire.  What if you took 3 individual wraps of litz per collector.  You now have 954 individual wires for output in series or parallel.  Compared to one wire all have been using. 

If you know how to find the circuit potential, you tune into the frequency and you have enough short pieces of wire you can convert as much power as you wish in a given space.
you would be fascinated with the amount of renewable energy you can extract from a permanent magnet!"

Hello all,

@btentzer

let us first clear up the therm "litz wire". Yes, we discussed it a long time ago. Lets do it again and then I will say something about it.

If the Amercians use that term they mean a conductor made of multi-strand braided insulated copper wires.
The German equivalent would be "verseilte Hochfrequenzlitze".

Please correct me if this is wrong.

edit: As a side note: I think Bruce's thoughts about the importance of this kind of wire are completely justified and correct.
