Towards Realizing the TPU

Hello all,

Yes Loner, some plastics can also do a great job in TPUs.

Just 2 Cents.  Remember to "Forget" those "Lines of Force" patterns for magnetic fields.

They are NOT straight lines.  One must keep that in mind if using standard induction for
the TPU device....   (This seems to be ignored a lot, lately.)   That's the simplest way I
can direct some to the effects of metals AND wire layouts.   (Actually, not just metals...)

Not sure where "lines of force" was referenced in all of this.

As .99 poynted out, this isn't standard induction by a physical moving magnet or magnetic field created by current in a coil.

@All TPUers

Reading Poynt99s great doc prompted me to think this, i write it here just in case it may help, I´m not saying it´s a solid idea, just that it´s an idea:

When attempting replication of an SM style TPU, it might be worthwhile to wind a fourth control coil, but have this coil the same diameter as the collector coil and place it just above the collector coil in the same orientation as the collector coil. (Could explain OTPU config). It might also work if its circumference ran through the inside of the existing 3 control coils, resting right next to the collector but then maybe the close inductive coupling to the collector would dampen it too much and waste its energy in the collectors load?

As with the other coils make this 4th coil bifilar and tune it for max kick response using iron delay. This 4th coil would give height to the vortex, coaxing fresh aether into the circulation. Without it a vortex might not form but instead a stagnant rotating aether toroid.

This 4th control coil would need third harmonic kick freq. the other 3 coils at fundamental freq with 120 degree phasing. Just like spherics timing. SM could have established 120deg phasing by using delay networks on his master oscillator. The 4th vertical coil above the collector could then be timed by having each of the 3 horizontal coils powering through it as Poynt99 suggests.

I also think incredibly sharp and short pulses of high current to the kick coils may be key, so charged 400V low ESR electrolytic cap through very fast switch with saturatable reactor just before kick coil to get as fast a rise as possible.

Seperate Questions)
Has anyone tried to tune a bifilar kick coil using iron delay, and have they seen the mag field pulse be optimised this way when scoping a secondary pickup coil with resistive load attached?

I ask because I just got some nice thin iron wire for delay (flower wire) and plan to do this experiment with fast and sharp pulses of 64V to start with into a 50 turn aircore bifilar with a 50 turn pickup a few inches away wound on the same tubular form, it would be great to hear others methods and results in this area. Like how does the optimum mag flux kick come about when tuning, is it very peaky? Could it be missed by tuning the delay coil too coarsely?

I tried the iron delay of several feet and trimmed it down without success.   I have a 200 foot spool now, but have not tried it again.  If just a delay is required then there are other ways to do that.

@Grumpy, Another quick question: what waveform type did you use to power the delayed bifilar in that experiment?
