The TPU uncovered? (A PROBABLE technique.)

@everyone

Electrical power is a function of the ratio of amperage and voltage. A bulb will glow brighter with a variation of POWER, in that after it is glowing (minimum voltage/amperage needs met), then an increase of voltage will cause it to brighten, since the applied POWER increases. The amperage is always going to be lower if the voltage is lower.

P=IV (The power increases no matter which changes, as it is determined by amperage times voltage.)

Let me use three examples based upon 2 premises which is ohms law V=IR, and that a 75w bulb is rated at 75w@120vAC which means a 75w bulb has a very specific resistance.

Let us break the bulbs characteristics down:

Approx. Amperage @ 120V = .625A  (I =P/V or I=75/120)

Approx. Resistance = 120 Ohms (R=I/V  or R=120/.625)

This means it is equivalent to a 120 Ohm resistor. Now, the amount of light is neither measured by the manufacturer in watts, voltage, or amperage. It is measured in lumens, and varies at the same wattage bulb from manufacturer to manufacturer. The wattage rating of the bulb tells you how much energy the bulb "consumes" at the design voltage. The maximum number lumens from this bulb will be the same or lower, since higher power levels will probably blow the bulb. At higher wattages, it becomes a fuse which blows. Below this point  light is indicated by the wattage indirectly, as the lower wattage will not heat up the filament properly as designed.

No matter how you look at it, the amperage at lower voltages will never be as great as the design voltage, as this is directly proportionate to the resistance. Therefore the power available is always going to be lower as well.

Now, say you apply 32v... the MAXIMUM amperage is I = V/R or .27 amps. That means that no matter the available amperage applied, at 32v ONLY .27 A WILL flow through this bulb. You now see that if a lower voltage is applied, a lower amperage flows, no matter what amperage is applied. Amperage in any circuit is dependent upon the applied voltage, and the resistance of the circuit.

This principle applies to any and all circuits, whether we are talking inductive, resonant, etc. etc. etc. (Actually, in these circuits even more things come to bear such as impedance, reactance and reluctance)

NOW WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE?

The ONLY TWO MEANS of fluctuating the amperage, is with a fluctuation of resistance (which I dont even know if it is possible realistically), or to fluctuate the VOLTAGE. (I=V/R)

With a fluctuation of voltage across a given circuit resistance, comes a fluctuation in amperage.

So, whether we are talking amperage "kicks" (spikes), then we should look specifically for voltage "kicks" or "spikes".....

Amperage by itself cannot "spike" OR "kick" without a corresponding increase of voltage.

Hence the use of the oscope.  "Current probes" are available to convert current readings to voltage for viewing on the oscope.

Attached is a modified image of the earlier diagram for seeing the effect.

Basically, you pulse the two coils at their resonant freq with square waves (0 to 20v or more) - then adjust the iron length until you see "little green men" on the scope - aka fluttery spiky stuff.

So, wind 'em up and put yer scopes in x-y mode - yee-haw!

Hi G,

Thanks for posting that!  I was at work and didn't have access to it!

@Poynt99
Grumpy's posted diagram shows where to put the scope.  And keep the equipment away from both the iron coil and the bifilar coil.

@ All,
What else can be said?  LOL  Yee-haw!  (I like that G, It is the Texas cry!    )

Cheers,

Bruce

what else can be said .... lol

GET ER DONE ALREADY

EH G

when you want to talk about "G" ?  and where the pattend for "g" is 

IST

hers a hint read 0-zone pattent   been saying that a while now... 

read all associated material ..... study it BLOW UP THE SCHEMS IF YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!!  LOL!!!   400% DID IT 4 ME

EH GK?

then you see the "G"

@grumpy,

could you post a pic of your kick scope shot please.

thanks

oh, and did you mean A-B mode or XY mode for the scope?
