Anyone using avalanche transistors for fast pulses?

op-amp quadrature geny?

Tuning the coil length to get a phase shift?

3-phase geny from op-amps?

MOSFETS?

JFETS?

I'm thinking that SM's TPU worked with a rotational frequency in the audio range, so he had the kick (pulse) the RMF to get it to speed up and charge it.  RF rotation freq and he would not have needed the kicks, but hey should still be of use in either scenario.

Sparkman, I have an old tube Heathkit RF gen - works like a charm!

Too much BS an not enough tech talk around here these days...

Now thats neat...

I'll be here usually 7 - 10 pm mountain time and mostly all day on the weekends.
Drop by have a look You never know when you might see sparks fly.

Anyone using ....

Grumpy,
In a way I think it is not what you've got, it is what you do with it. It was reported that SM spent around $13 in Radio shack on the parts for 1 TPU. It is easy to buy all these components you mention but are they really necessary? Because I am Newbie I have been reading a lot of people's past posts. You really seem to be bringing up lots of interesting points. But based on what you've got, have you started anything yet?
For instance I read somewhere that SM used bale wire again this could be a misdirection but on the other hand if he was utilising earths magnetic field, isn't "iron" most effected most by magnetism?

The term bayling wire here means "just some wire I had laying around".  Iron/Steel wire is not important.  Mixing the correct frequencys which results in an anomalous amplification effect is the key, nothing more.

AM,

I was just pointing out that everyone was digressing into bs and debunk modes rather than technical discussion.
