The TPU uncovered? (A PROBABLE technique.)

Yes, it does sound the same. Mine is all copper as well.

This "one wire" transmission effect truly is weird.

I am looking forward to  royer oscillator form of "weird" though. I think it might make a good break from the tpu grind for me right now.

WOW. You are quick on the uptake!

That was exactly what I am planning. I intend to try to reproduce your "accidental phenomena", but with the end goal applied to the TPU myself. The discharge you mentioned sounds suspiciously  like the DC "flame" discharge from the large TPU collectors..... I wanted to do some tests before claiming such, as I am still not sure, and wanted to understand the effect better first hand before speculating too much, and end up throwing everyone off track.

Concerning the armstrong, I am not familiar with this variety. I will look it up.

When you grabbed the diode, you become an open system capacitor. (One connection. Like a torus capacitor on the top of a tesla coil, for instance.) Your body capacitance changed the frequency of oscillation, among other things. I honestly think you probably hit an OU situation, but with an unstable system which was destroyed quickly during runaway.

The system was inherently self regulating. Otherwise the transistors SHOULD have blown sky high, with enough juice to burn the winding of the toroid. A good indicator is when the input wattage drops, but the output increases for any powered OU system.

I think the TPU will be self regulating in the same manner, for the same reason.

I have designed a spike generator though, for use inline with a square wave signal. (Converts square wave to narrow AC spikes)

I have messed around with Sines, Squares, and Triangle waveforms. I have not messed around with spikes yet.

Take a flat toroidal permanent magnet, poles on flat faces. Wind a spiral pancake coil (pain in the butt) on one face of the magnet. This is the signal input. Wind another coil around the magnet like you would a regular ferrite toroid for a secondary.

My scope shows narrow band spike generation for whatever input frequency. It does seem to be limited between the low KHZ and low MHZ for spike generation. Some freaky stuff starts happening above 3 MHZ or so, and absolutely NOTHING below the KHZ range.

My "test" coil uses a small (1 7/8") flat mag I bought from allelectronics.com, and I have only three turns of 16ga stranded for my secondary, just for testing purposes. I intend to build a larger secondary later to test it better. some limitations may change with a better secondary.

I have a question, which my brain is refusing to answer. I think it is on strike. (No more Fields! No More Fields! No More Fields!)

I have found a big spool of wire I forgot about. This stuff is copper coated iron. I don't even remember what it is designed for, or where I got it. What would the field effects of such be, with the current flowing AROUND the iron through the copper coat, and can anyone think of any experiments for it ? ? ?

@Paul and All

Would there be anything of use to us in this patent # 04639610

A rotating flux transformer with at least two torus?  Patent held by Westinghouse.

I just found a neat way to fine tune a tank circuit or self-resonant coil.  You add extra turns after the circuit!  Look at Fig 1 circuit B located here:

To fine tune, all you have to do is snip off extra length or turns of the open end.  In addition, you have an open end to collect energy from the aether.
