SM expose'

[HEYDUDE]

And a very early (2006) attempt at a TPU. I like quality builds even if it takes a little longer.

a small homebuilt dual avalanche generator capable of high voltage picosecond pulses.

This is good.

So, um, if you are doing all of this experimentation, why the bash on the TPU?

HD   you don't strike me as a  more  more  more  kind of guy  Have you ever seem a scope shot like the Bell echo shot that GK posted? Chet

As a matter of fact, I can duplicate that Bell shot at will and have. It represents a typical current starved oscillator. The bell shape is easy to analyze, caused by the initial supply capacitor decaying, then the oscillation quenches. Then the whole process repeats. It was common years ago in burst oscillators. (sorry to burst anyone's bubble but you asked I tell.) No BS nothing magic, despite the hoopla.

If you like, I'll set up the oscillator, try to get an image tonight and post it.

I have already posted scope shots of my kicks.
People always want more more more.
Especially if you hand them something.
If you hand them something they will return quickly demanding more.

Etc. etc.

5u4GB experiment as described by Steven mark.

ok marco. you did post this pic. i like and respect your work, but a few details other than what can be read of SM's texts would be appreciated.

with a little time, i could design a simple electronics circuit (real OR simulated) with op-amps, diodes, resistors and capacitors to achieve a very similar if not exact result as your pic. if i posted that scope shot would i be inducted into the hall of TPU Elite fame? wouldn't anyone ask for details, or would all just accept it as fact that i have posted a "kick"? i could throw in a pic of some large transformers to close the sale.

i'm not saying you faked this, so don't go there. i'm saying that without a few details along with a diagram, how is your scope shot any more valid than what mine would be? i can design a circuit to give you just about any wave form that has been posted in this forum, including the bell or whatever it is. that's not the point though is it.

what's frustrating is there's all kinds of wave form pictures being posted, but none or few with an accompanying diagram that would allow others to replicate it.

why not let others try to replicate the effect you got the same way?

So, um, if you are doing all of this experimentation, why the bash on the TPU?

My intention is not to bash the TPU, but to attempt to have removed a veneer of misdirection that I believe has been presented.
I cannot do that, it is up to Lindsay Mannix, Jack Durban, and SM himself.

I encourage critical thinking to get at that truth. If you read what I have posted carefully, you'll see that I believe a TPU like device can be reproduced as a real device......once we get over the misdirection. I can't say which is the correct direction, all I know is this many brilliant people working over two years should have produced positive results by now. I smell something wrong, not with the researchers here, but what they have been given.

Just my take on it, I believe some others agree. You have the perfect right, and I support your right to disagree.
