Hello all,

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Hello all,

@EM

Santa didnt know that Im working on my TPU in my garage so .....

@All

if you look a little closer to the 3 stack you can see that 2 control coils are connected together. The top and bottom controls. This means that this 2 controls are pulsed thogether and this means that the top and bottom collectors are rotated in the same direction. And the middle control and collector coil?? Pulsed in the contra way!!

In short: top and bottom controls and collectors in 1 direction, middle control and collector in the contra direction.

Of course, each control and collector in SERIES.......like "dfro" teached us. Not to forget the caps....

A time ago I thought I was clever and used the controls "tapped" into the collectors. It was great but to connect the controls in SERIES with the collectors is genious!!!

Hi Otto & all,

first of all Happy new year to everyone, I'm new to this forum, although I've been reading for quite a while trough all material available (Mark's emails, Otto & Roberto's TPU/ECD replication, etc..). I spent quite some time (over a year) working on Bedini's machines so I'm pretty familiar with radiant spike generation, but I had always in my mind that sooner or later I wanted to give  the TPU a try too.
Otto, I wanted to start from what I've learnt from all of Steven's "hints", but stillI would like to ask you a couple of questions regarding the ECD. Were you able to measure effective input versus output power? Why didn't everyone build one on these forums?!
There is also something that appears strange to me when looking at the schematic. On one side of the control coils the primay and secondary are directly connected, this means all the mosfet drains are connected togheter trough the secondary's 0 connection?!

About the 3 stack you were talking about in your post, where can I see that?
For now I've made a 35cm diam collector with a double 6 mm2 braided wire (like a thick lamp wire) and 3 control coils wrapped around the whole collector's circumference and am about to wrap some wire around the whole thing to add some feedback from the collector. I 'm sure it will take more that one more collector but I want to start seeing what the effects were with one first

best regards,

Mario

Take a look at US patent # 5383362

It deals with vibratory gyroscopes in the form of a ring. [...]

3)  These physical vibratory waves in the iron ring cut through magnetic fields and produce current by induction.  In the right configuration you can get DC output. [/color]

EM

P.S.  It's important to hit the vibratory resonant frequency of the ring not the electrical wavelength.  A beat frequency oscillator (heterodyning) principle will come in handy to hit that low frequency.

Nah, it's pretty clear from what SM has said that he drives the TPU at multiples of the electrical resonant frequency of the big toroidal coil.  He creates two electrical standing waves which add together to make a travelling/rotating wave, like a toroidal Tesla coil.  This traveling wave is as big as the component standing waves, i.e., It can be 100s of times larger than the input (limited by the coil's Q), but ONLY if you drive the coil at its fundamental resonant frequency and the harmonics thereof.

So, what does this have to do with the "gyroscopic effects"?  Well, because the travelling wave is so big, it carries with it a substantial magnetic field. (the field looks like the one created by two magnets on opposite sides of the ring, directing their fields tangentially, N toward N and S toward S).  These magnetic fields store most of the energy in the coil, and because they store energy, by E=mc^2, they have mass and inertia.  The mass is not very much, but those fields are spinning around the coil so fast (say 0.05c) that their angular momentum could actually be measurable, and its gyroscopic effects might actually be felt.

Cheers,

Mr. Entropy

A "resonance stationary wave" (must be spherical or cylindrical) has it's own rotational moment and inertia - BAM!

Hello all,

our next step - step 2 is as follows:

Step 2

Get rid of the f...g power supply and the 3 MOSFET oscillators.

Nice experimenting.
