HIGH QUALITY TPU DVD Video Released from Jack Durban

Hi BEP,

That's good to know.  I remember working with a speaker cable that was half silver, half copper.  I looked online and others confirm that the silver wire is usually aluminum.  I wonder if SM was using aluminum and copper speaker wire?

Rgarding my file, that's odd.  Try opening it in RegiStax--that way you can step through it frame by frame, forwards and backwards.  I just tried it now and it worked for me.  Maybe your player doesn't like the size of the AVI?

Let me know if RegiStax doesn't work and I will look into the problem.

   I think that was what SM/Spherics was blabbering about when he was talking about the NMR of iron.  Something like an inside out piece of coax.

Ok. That clip forces me to eat my words on batteries in the handy box but nothing else. It reinforces my views on counter wound coils, pc board mounted tuned inductors, Lenz collectors East and West under the magnets and grid coils.

That bulbous black thing behind the supposed pc board with a single large white wire coming out?
Try the head of a flyback yoke 

Can't wait to get a working copy of the better resolution!

Good!  I think at this point the only remaining way for the OTPU video to be faked would be batteries in the lamp bases, but that is extremely unlikely given the weight of the lamps and the fact that they did appear dimmer with the TPU power vs. standard line current.  So the TPU looks to be real!

Maybe if you draw up a diagram of the OTPU as you see it based on these principles I will have a better shot at actually replicating it.  I got most of what you said earlier, and wouldn't mind building two OTPU prototypes--one based on my aluminum idea, and the other based on your ideas.   If that is a flyback there, then it lends credence to the pulsed HV into aluminum idea.

Funny thought--what if the toroidal coil on top of the FTPU is just a simple pulsed HV power supply?  The output terminals seem to be connected directly to the collector wire, not to the toroid.

If you want specific shots of the OTPU, or FTPU, just let me know and I can post snippets of the videos in much the same manner as I did now.  Just give me a time index in the lousy quality video, and I can extract and post up to about 20 seconds of high quality deinterlaced video.  (The deinterlacing process took hours on my Athlon 5200+, and chewed up about 75Gb of disk space! )

All,

Something important that I would like to mention one more time: these devices do not have to be toroidal as far as I can tell.  The fact that he cut a section out of one and it continued to work underscores this.  The toroidal construction just happens to be the most efficient way to pack the required coil setups into a working device, in my opinion.  If you want further justification for this assertion, just look at the OTPU!  According to standard electromagnetics, no significant EM coupling should be able to occur between the segments on that plastic or wooden frame.  Also look at the relatively sloppy construction of the coils on the frame--it looks like they were wound around the frame solely to anchor them to something.   I am guessing the secret lies in the material makeup of the coils, and any hidden winding(s) that may be laid down in parallel with the main bifilar coils.  And yes, they are definitely bifilar (I have a video frame clearly showing this).

Please, try to poke holes in my theories here before I spend lots of time and money testing them!

@Eldarion, I don't know about money, but time yes, thats why people like Tesla spent all their lives dedicated to the sport....

Just be prepared to spend some time, and to take respite and thought, you will need patience, and this will be as much as getting it to work.
