Steven Mark´s associate Jack Durban comes forward with more info !

[RobotHead]

So, what I learned from the interview is :

No tubes.

No control units.

Just copper wires, wood and Radio Shack parts mostly.

Cap and Coils on the large unit are just for filtering the output signal.

SM stole the design but has no real idea how it works and has practically zero technical skills.

The coils are in quadrants and not three.  2 primary and 2 secondary coils for a total of 4?

The large unit internals was wood.  Wood and copper wire?

No great explosion risk as far as Jack knows of.

Jack says there are some people that have a working unit and that there are schematics from SM himself that Jack may be able to get a hold of and share with us here.  The high quality video will be helpful also.

Past 20 minutes, the unit over-heats.  This is the current barrier.

"Spherics" was a company associated with SM in the outside car test!  There is no coincidence here.  Someone in the know posted some information here under the name "spherics".  How else would they know this name?  Did anyone else catch that in the interview?

SM's questionable character explains a lot about why  the TPU never made it past the video stage.  Unregulated greed on his part.

This could be a major help for TPU development.  It appears that Mannix may have been dupped.  SM may have very well been feeding him bad information to prevent others from developing the TPU?  Or maybe he just wanted to get attention? Who knows.  If this can move past SM, it can only be for the best.  If he really wanted to help, he would have given us schematics by now.  He hasn't.

Jack sounded credible and his explanations make more sense than what we heard from SM.  There were NO tubes!  It was a wild goose chase.  I look forward to what Jack has to contribute.

Did anybody catch how this is linked to the 381970 Tesla patent?  Did it just look like the patent based on what he saw through the tape or did SM give him this clue when he hired him?

Yes as Jack has no internal workings on the device and Spherics appears out of the blue within 24 hours of Jack turning up this may not be a coincidence. Who would be so bold as to start a new thread titled??

"Complete information on working SM style device."

unless you have a pretty good idea of how it works or your otto of course LOL

The theory is highly justifiable more then 96% of the other threads IMO.

The interview was interesting from a political aspect, but weak on usefull technical information.

I took notes as the interview was unfolding and here?s some of the facts and inconsistancies.


1)   Jack Durbin is recruited by Steven?s boyfriend  MM, who has a criminal record for indecent exposure in public.  (in the past Steven himself has been accused of the same)

2)   Marilla wants to steal the information from Steven, or discover the secret, or wants to duplicate the function using transmission of power.  Jack investigates Tesla, microwave technology

3)   Steven Marks 3D audio technology is a sham and he has speakers imbedded in the celling etc. and looses important backers when he tells them he just adjusts the equalizer to get the right sound.  Apparently Jack worked for the same company with Steven?  The Spheric spinoff Extreme Technologies, which had some products marketed for a while.

4)   Jack only saw the larger unit.

5)   Jack mentioned the gyroscopic effect as similar to a wobbly motor, you can almost feel the thrust in different directions as it vibrated in quadrature.  [note he mentioned he held it in his hand in the air, but the larger device is placed on table?]

6)   Jack firmly believes the technology is real and there are no hidden batteries.

7)   He mentioned the technology is similar to Tesla quadrature coil patents

8 )   The parts for it are from Radio Shack, he doesn?t think there is any solid state controls, or special iron wire

9)   There is a heat effect which is exponential (nonlinear) and kicks in heavily around 20 minutes into the operation.

10)    Jack knows some others who have been working on the technology and report the same effects.

11)   Jack has a high resolution video he will share

12)   He comments the magnets were used to open a reed switch, but in view of the fact he only saw the larger unit, which does not use magnets at all, these statements about the magnet are questionable.

13)   He mentioned the contactee from Australia might not have been in contact with the real Steven,  [a swipe at Lindsay? credibility and the wealth of info revealed perhaps?]

14)   Jacks main reason for coming forward is to HELP the community that is struggling to discover the technology.

15)   He also revealed two ?bombsheels? in his opinion.  A)  Steven is homosexual, B) his 3D technology was fake

16)   Jack had an NDA signed with Steven and it expired, so that?s another reason he came forward when he did, but waited a while to make sure.

17)   Jack is willing to come over to overunity.com and help in anyway he can.

18)   He never measured the output of the unit.

19)   He never saw the waveform, no oscilloscope

20)   Steven is described as being very unskilled and uneducated.  (mentions example of putting the device in water instead of oil to cool it)

21)   The demonstrations were done at a rented house in Lemon Heights

22)   The person filming is Bill Cavenaght, an attorney  (spelling might be off)

23)   Only Steven knew how it worked in the whole company.

24)   Technology might have originated in France. Steven sent PhD  guy David Doleshah to investigate French connection

25)   Jack mentions large TPU is built on particle board, just for the shape, and also mentions Steven used speaker mount rings  (perhaps for the open TPU unit)

26)   No patents were filed in Jacks opinion

27)   Jack speculates about Schuman resonance as being a possible explanation, also mentions the interference with submarine communications (nothing new here)

28)   Jack has lots of patents to his name and has done product development for some time. His website iswww.vorel.com  and also  www.vorelco.com

It seems the only thing Jack might have of interest to this effort is a clean first generation video of what?s already available on the internet (youtube, etc..) 

His other comments are quite basic and nothing which can?t be witnessed from a video.    Did he really see first hand the device?  My personal opinion is that he did NOT really see the device in person, I sensed conflicting messages as he spoke, which is normal in an interview, but we need to address them in more detail.  For example he mentions no control board, and mentions choke toroids are inside the control box, when in actuality they are ON TOP of the box, etc..  small details like that.  We need to explore all these things with him when he joins us.

.....
So with this information its always possible that when someone comes into the forum as in Spheric and post what appears credible information that it may be someone that has first hand experience of the the tpu somewhere in the world and is trying to help.

....

Yes, that was what I wanted to add in my previous post except I did not remember whether that was in the first part of the live talk or the telephone questioning time. Nevertheless, maybe Spherics is really SM in disguise? If so, the news of his demise has been greatly exaggerated!
