The TPU uncovered? (A PROBABLE technique.)

[infringer]

OK this is way far fetched but I feel the need to say it:

Think of the center line on a scope as a wire.

Now in our tests we have three of the lines one in the middle  the collector...

As the wave propgates above the line and below the line it is doing the same across the wire...

Now the higher the frequency the faster these pulses occur.

Could it be that as the wave flows above the line it is trapping potential around the line and is expelling non useable shells at the bottom like a pistion...

As far as posting. Post whatever pics, schematics, etc.. you have. Please describe what effects are noted, what successes if any, AND what failures. In that manner, maybe we can stave off making the SAME mistakes over and over.

I have come up with a new schematic I am considering, and I will post it as well. (driver circuit for rotation, but you will think me a traitor, since I thought of another possible way to achieve rotation, using mosfets and trigger circuits combined with a capacitor/inductor discharge circuit for enhanced power. I am not for sure the circuit will even work, but if it does, it should work at full mosfet speed capability.)

Concerning your question about enhancing or gaining voltage in your circuit. Do you remember the old tesla coil days, when oftentimes in those days you had to drive your primary circuit with a battery. They accomplished this using what they called a "kick" or "kicker" coil. They would hook up an inductive coil to a point type system, an rapidly make and break the circuit. The high inductance coil would draw an amperage surge, which would then convert to voltage at the break. They could easily achieve 5000volts in this manner to charge their primary capacitors.

Now, I doubt that you are looking for this much voltage, but using high speed power transistors, you can get 60v easy out of a 9v battery. Remember the schematic I was talking about earlier? I think we are thinking somewhat along the same lines. I was experimenting with unloaded coils last night to test voltage amplification of short duration spike signals through an air core inductance using my scope. I achieved 60v. I will duplicate it again and try to post pics.

I was using a 555 timer circuit and extremely low on times (very short duty cycles), to the point that any less, and the 555 would quit oscillating. I put this signal through a parallel cap/ind tank to achieve a needle shaped spike signal, then fed this through the test inductance.  I saw some MIGHTY interesting stuff happening, which I hope to share with all here!

I will see what I can do about getting the stuff posted today if possible.

Here are a few schematics.

1. This is my possible driver circuit for rotation that I mentioned last post. In case the words dont come through. All mosfets show as grounded. In reality, they are power outputs to the respective control coil for each. 3 small toroidal cores wound with each a small power inductance coil, and a small trigger coil. PC1,2,3 and T1,2,3 respectively (example PC1 & T1 on same core)

 

2. Here is a good 555 testing circuit. As shown it is 50% duty cycle within a broad range. Using a Cmos 555, I have over-clocked to 4.9Mhz (with a sloppy waveform at this speed).

Notes:

Change 1.5k fixed resistor to 3k variable linear trimmer pot, and change 50k variable to 100k trimmer pot, for variable duty cycle with extremely wide range. My current 555 pulse testing circuit. I am using a TS555CN, which is rated to 2.7Mhz. (yes, I said 4.9 above, and I mean 4.9) scope shots and freq meter shots available on otto's TPU/ECD thread.



I will post the scope shots promised earlier of my experimentation later.

Paul,
I have a quick question for you.  Would there be any benefit to using a Marko Rodin coil?  I always wondered if the winding and geometry to add some benefit.  Thanks

I dont upload my photos here, I use my geocities site to store them, then just link to them.

As for one small toroid, I thought of that, but then realized that a smaller toroid would run at higher frequency than the large toroid. With the small toroids close to, or inside the perimeter of, the large toroid, they should be somewhat limited to the frequency of the field itself. I think. Maybe. possibly? (I hope.)

Art, I have thought of one possible problem to overcome with the circuit. Upon initial powerup, or switch-on, as the case may be, there may be an initial false triggering of all three coils. Another question, after mosfets 1,2,3 have all fired, will they stay in the "on" position? We may have to figure a means of using npn switching transistors on the gates to manually turn them off.

To the best of my knowledge, after the capacitor is drained, the toroid should quit producing electricity in the trigger coil, as the current would then be steady producing no voltage in the trigger, which should shut off the mosfet. That was my original thinking. Maybe a small resistor in the gate circuit could cure this if it is a problem.
