What do you see in the FTPU image?

I recall seeing the magnet swipe that he puts it back in his pocket.

I still cannot find the large horseshoe shaped TPU video that I saw before. It look very similar to the SM17.

I looked at the video again.  This unit turns off when flipped over and winds down when the magnet is removed.  When the unit is flipped over, there appears to be something white in the center of the spool, a coil perhaps or just a white spool core.  there is significant material between the inner diameter of the spool core and the outer diameter of the spool core.  Outer diameter of spool core is wrapped with tape.

Outer wrapped wires appear to have something metallic over them and then an overwrap.  For all I know he used hi-mu tape and a wire with DC over that.  It could be tin-foil for all we know.

It's round and spins down, so I think he was rotating a field at this point.

The latest video is also interesting and at about 34 or 35 minutes into this video SM states that the device is not collecting energy from outer space, and that we are creating "electron flow in wire" and earlier he mentioned that the devices functioned normally to at least 15k feet in an aircraft and caused no interference with the aircraft.

What do I see?

Ill take a stab at it....

To put it in currently discussed terms:

I see a flat wire planar voice coil in a porcelain toroid form with the common hum-bucking coil on the outside. Weren't these used on metallic cone tweeters? Those didn't have the concentric circle folds for flexing. They had radial folds to allow the cone to twist. 
The same winding format was used on small betatrons.

But then I'm only interested in what most folks call a choke or saturation coil.

Just an opinion

Looking at the still frame of the bottom of this TPU and SM may have a coil in the center - around the core of the spool or a separate core (plastic, ceramic, paper?)

Say this coil is the bifilar one that produces the "kick" (HV spikes), To utilize the spikes and their effect, I think he wrapped the bifilar wires around a collector wire(s) like a core.

SM sys that the device gets warm and touches the top outer wire loop.

Yeah looks like some sort of loose tape held on with bailing wire.  Maybe he was trying to spread a field out or shield from interference.

did the saturable reactor come out of a buck regulator?
