Towards Realizing the TPU

[sparks]

   One other thing we gotta consider is that we don't want to radiate any energy out of the system.   Therefore the resonant frequency of the circuit should be low.
So if SM has an offtuned rlc tank going he probably designed it around a frequency he is familar with and doesn't radiate.  If you study Tesla's experiments you begin to realize that Tesla used what he called current waves.  The best way I can describe this is that you create a mechanical wave through the electric field.  You gotta bunch of charged particles standing around in any electric field.  You don't push the electrons or the lack thereof in any direction.  You compress and rarify the field like in a sound wave.  The energy concentration into his device is from the high current high speed shorting of a capacitor.  This event  is then replicated in the rlc.  What is unique is that by offtuning you can move the nodes and antinodes along your secondary.  Like when I use to tune this old electric organ I had.  You hit  two tones and counted the beats.  The more you off tuned the faster it would beat.  You could tune it so that the beat was so fast it became inaudible.  But you knew it was still there.

I have a little stupid question because I have no scope and never worked with it.
Assume you have perfect AC signal on screen, how do you know what amount of power it is ?
I mean : you can have simple oscillator wave when total wave has power of discharged capacitor, then you can have Tesla oscillation (theoretically) on screen. Tesla stated that each wave part has total energy of capacitor. How do you differentiate ?
Also would be interesting to know if that multiplication is done already on primary side or after transformation into secondary stationary waves. He said that the output power was multiplication of capacitor energy on primary and frequency on secondary (pulses per second).

    My friend has a tesla coil and he puts small neon bulbs in a line up and down the resonator.   Then he tunes it so the pattern of neons light up at the harmonics he is after.  You can't get near this coil without messing with the tuning.

Could inertia effect in TPU be related also to mass increase due to almost light speed inside ? Just an idea... I know that it could easier explained by interation with Earth magnetic field...

Just finished building my first FTPU rings (actually second from way back).

The build is extremely easy to make the outer rings. For this one, I had some 12awg copper stranded wire with a very thin nylon coating so I could not resist using it instead of the iron for now. The three loops are 7" dia. and connected together to make a mobius. at the connection is my input and the outputs are at 1 1/2 loops on the other side. On this I wound 18awg copper stranded wire that had a fairly thin plastic insulation. I am only looking for wires that have a thin covering otherwise the effect may be lost if toooo thick.  The coil is wound 24 turns per half loop always the same direction per two halves with about 6" of loose wire per half to permit multiple connection schemes.

My toroid is a 2" dia. with about 32 winds per side.
I will be pulsing AC square/sine, DC and audio to see the differences.
I'll put up a photo on the build tonight.
I will me making a few more of these FTPU builds with varying loop types, wires, etc.
