@wattsup - Thanks for the clarification. I've often wondered about that single transistor in the FTPU, as it's so prominent and seems out of place. Your explanation is plausible, and I'm open to learning more. Indeed, when playing with my toroids I saw two pulses, but I couldn't figure out how to make any use of them. Perhaps delay is indeed their intended function, and I just wasn't looking for the right effect.

And thank you for pointing out the N/S labels in Fig 3 of the patent. I had not noticed those or didn't attach any significance to them, as they don't appear anywhere else. Plus, I was looking at it as an AC-powered device, probably wearing Tesla-colored glasses instead of being open-minded. I should know better than to try to think that hard early in the morning.

@Loner - We've seen SM positioning a permanent magnet next to some of these toroids, and there was a suggestion at one time that they may be saturable inductors. While I understand this in theory, I've not encountered it in practice. Could this produce the impulse you mentioned? This is a weak area for me - what would it take to get that effect? Pulsing a toroid with a function generator does nothing remarkable at all, that I've seen.

Thanks to Orbs there is now a torrent file as well. I updated the PES wiki Jack Durban page (http://peswiki.com/index.php/Videos:Jack_Durban:Steven_Marks_TPU) where you can also find the new torrent file.

oh yes, and keep seeding

I know it would be easy to just consider the toroid as a standard choke. But I can't accept the fact that in the FTPU, with practically nothing to the device, that there would be such a big toroid for output smoothing. Output smoothing for 60 vdc (unknown amps but expect maximum 1 amp) is the least of ones problems and could be done with a choke the size of a penny or a quarter. Why use such a big choke. It just does not fit. And if it does not fit, you must acquit. Oops. Sorry that's another forum. lol

wattsup

nowhere in my post did i say that the common-mode choke is used for smoothing. i just said that it is a basic common-mode choke, of which we do not know it purpose.

this common-mode choke is a 1:1 transformer and there are several ways in which it could be used in the TPU, a few of which include filtering, smoothing, or noise suppression. it could be used as a transformer, or a common-mode filter. there are a few other potential uses as well including a combination smoothing/transforming function

the only thing we know for sure about it is that the two coils are not connected in parallel in the TPUs

I believe I've mentioned this before, but could someone comment, just to shut me up.

I Know every is ignoring the wires that lead through the center of the small torrid.   Why?

The wire that goes through the center is potted in the Big TPU.  That is only required if
yopu don't want them to move.  Those wires, Most Likely, are not connected to the torrid
windings, and seeing the patent just posted, it seems that the current transformer action
of such a setup would be multiplied.  That type of setup has been used in other devices,
but not in this type of application, that I know of.  (But that means nothing, really..)

As a thought, this could be used to induce one heck of an impulse.  Seeing that there
are two  wires on each side, the symmetry is too "Right in front of me" to be ignored.

It certainly wasn't done for "Artwork".

Just a thought.

Art.

i'll attempt to answer--

to start, i have to assume you are referring to the common-mode choke toroid?

ok, second i have no idea why any of the 4 wires issuing from the center of the toroid would not be connected to it  is that really what you meant? i hope not.

of course all 4 wires would connected to the toroid coils.

i wouldn't go too far of course just because the darn thing is potted, big deal.

one thing that does puzzle me about the 2 pairs of wires, is they don't look to be the same gauge and wire type, but this too could be just "how it is" in this case. anything is possible out there in the real world
