ronnote,

are your graphs generated without a signal input?   That's amazing.

How long do the self oscillations last? 

How long do you supply the input frequency, before you disconnected it?

very good work, I'm impressed !

OK guys, a question:

What happens when you quickly discharge a capacitor into the TPU wires??

On Monday I see maybe the right answer.

Im posting in this way because I want a discussion and then we are maybe a step closer to the TPU.

Tesla ( discharging a capacitor in wires ) :

Then I discharge the condenser under conditions which result in the production of vibrations. Now, it was known since Lord Kelvin that the condenser discharge would give this vibration, but I perfected my apparatus to such a degree that it became an instrument utilizable in the arts, in a much broader way than Lord Kelvin had contemplated as possible. In fact, years afterwards when Lord Kelvin honored me by presenting to the British Association one of my oscillators of a perfected form, he said that it was "a wonderful development and destined to be of great importance.

Tesla ( energy from discharging a capacitor ):

Energy stored in the condenser and discharged in an inconceivably small interval of time. You could not produce that activity with an undamped wave. The damped wave is of advantage because it gives you, with a generator of 1 kilowatt, an activity of 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, or 5,000 kilowatts; whereas, if you have a continuous or undamped wave, 1 kilowatt gives you only wave energy at the rate of 1 kilowatt and nothing more. ...
The condenser is the most wonderful instrument, as I have stated in my writings, because it enables us to attain greater activities than are practical with explosives. There is no limit to the energy which you can develop with a condenser. There is a limit to the energy which you can develop with an explosive.

And again Tesla on the resonant effect:

A large capacity and small self-inductance is the poorest kind of circuit which can be constructed; it gives a very small resonant effect.
...
To be more explicit, I take a very large self-inductance and a comparatively small capacity, which I have constructed in a certain way so that the electricity cannot leak out. I thus obtain a low frequency; but, as you know, the electromagnetic radiation is proportionate to the square root of the capacity divided by the self-induction. I do not permit the energy to go out; I accumulate in that circuit a tremendous energy.

hope this helps for the discussion

This is the key which must be used. 

As well I think i May have deciphered the timing sequence, @ OTTO please take this into account


Suppose im playing a triplet on a guitar as in 3/4 time "do do do"   now let the ... represent the time in between repeating the sequence  do do do.....do do do....do do do...do do do..do do do.do do do

Maybe dfro was proposing playing the sequence of the three frequencies in a loop and then speeding up that loop.  now in a circuit sense you would need 3 timers so each control coil was pulsed in sequence after the prior. I dont know if your doing this already but if i had the scope and the function generators i would.  Thanks for reading this as i know your extremely busy

@ Grumpy:
   Dfro was last on jan 2, so think he still drops in to see whats going on. Would be interesting to know where his IP originates from. Oh well.

Hello all,

My TPU - "Capacitor"

This weekend I was looking for a better solution to connect my coils.
I didnt look at my drawing. Connected in a lot of ways, tried to have nice or crazy signals...

Now I have something totally crazy:

my TPU is connected to the power supply at 12V/0,4A. The bulb is connected but no light.
When I tune my highest frequency near around 208kHz it suddenly happens: the voltage from the power supply rises to 40V and sometimes a lot higher. The current rises from 0,4A to over 2A.

When this happens the bulb is lighted a little and then the TPU "discharges" slowly, the voltage and current are slowly falling to 12V.

It seems that The TPU is like a capacitor: very fast charging and slowly discharging.
Im working only with the coils, nothing more. No cap is connected to the TPU.

I was also using 2 frequencies and saw the same effect.

As the current limiter is all the time f...g me I wil today connect the TPU to my home made power supply without a current limiter to see whats going on in my TPU. Of course, without to connect my scope.
