well this is my first attempt at the big Ring i have built many small rings but no big one's in this picture you see i used a cereal box and a screw and a pencil made a circle on the box exactly 15" i then taped down the easyflow 18 GA speaker wire around this circle i made 10 turns around the circle then ran the 2 ends across the circle to the other side of the circle to allow some length of wire to work with the total length of wire was around 43' this collector was wound counter clockwise here is the pic
ist
in this picture you see the collector and 6 control turns and it fit perfectly
the controls are 100 turns of 22GA speaker wire the length of the controls was 11'6"
i used 2 zip ties between each control coil for spacing to keep things even all the way around the collector at the start and the end of the coil i put an extra zip tie because there was a bit larger gap which worked out well
ist
i then went along and cut the control wires at all the same length from the collector and installed block connectors on the ring with zip ties i put 1 block connector for each control coil
ist
in this picture you can see i hooked up 3 of the 6 control coils and based there connection at the top of the coil where my collector leads come out i installed 2 groups of 3 block connectors to feed the controls all controls are wired to 1 place and the signal comes in to all 3 at the same time
ist
then i found some of these little guys there are ferrite rings i found them in cordless drill battery chargers and computer power supplies and those kind of thing's i striped off the wires that were wound around them
ist
so i wound some of those up there many many ways to wind these and many ratios so I'm sure they are just not right yet but they are easy to install and change in the 15" tpu to find the right match this is like a pickup in a guitar but for magnetic waves as well it mixes all of the freq and resends it back into the loop here is a pic of some of my balms i have built so Far
ist
in this picture you can see i added a fuse in the collector i hooked up the balm it is wound with 28 GA solid wire bifuller in 3 segments of 10 turns oppsite direction to the controls then it goes into my 2 groups of 3 block connectors then in to the control's you also see an input block connector to the balm and a collector block connector this collector block connector is hooked up to a cap
the cap value in my pic is 50v .1 uf it is a nonpolized cap and this closes the collector loop
ist
now I'm sure all i have said so far is not all correct but it is the best that i currently understand it
in this next picture you see i hooked up a diode and an output CAP to the block connector
this is where I'm at now
i also added a resistor and output leads to the power cap
i have not tyred any power to this unit yet
ist
;D ;D
this is where it sits and before i can even try this out i must build an amp or find at least 1 3 will be much better with 3 amps i can bang each coil separately or with 1 amp i can bang them all at once ;)
so guess what mannix?
tubes lol!!
Hissy, are you just here to post this drivel ?
Please stop this.
:P
hissy
first day or 2 with your new keyboard??
lol

@inno
That looks awesome! Very professional looking.
How are going to utilize that tube?
Anyway.......I can't wait to see more from this project.
Great work!!
@wile
the tube is still up in the air
but i want to build a simple amp from it bout 3-4w hifi and must be able to push freqs from 1 hz to 1.5 meg idealy i would like 3 tube amps but in time i will have them
im wanting to build a tube rack for testing the tpu on the bench only so it would be the most important tool of all anyone wanna help
mannix?
because once this tool is made there is only a few things left to figure out with the tpu ;)
forward motion
ist
@ist
Where did you buy your block connectors? Nice work.
a little somthing i found in the old tube books i have it is about loop antennas
is
well looking over my thred here and my ring on my desk i would say that i have more work to do on my ring spiscicaly the balum it is not right as i think the 1 showen in my ring is wound bifuller and oppsite dirrection to the control coils that part i think is right but i ran my wires all the way through and i think the wires should only cupple in the ferroite ring to allow the feed back to mix with the other 2 freqs the way it is showen the signal just goes right stright through i know the balums will take some time to work out but im gonna whip up a few diffrent ones
is
:)
the fun starts soon
well i now have a simple valve tube amp so i guess it is time to play around and see what happins in looking over this agin i am starting to think that i only amp the balum not the collector ;)
but as they say it is bench work
i have other projects on the go at the same time not only the tpu
so in time in time
ist
oh yea since it is not a ss amp i can use it outside the ring :D
ok guys in looking agin at my last picture of my wired up ring i think i should remove the output cap and resistor dont think it is needed i recall reading some where that a CAP kills the effect we are looking for this means it is not re that we are captureing because for that we use a CAP!!!! but i think it is just a diode on the output and after that maybe a resisotor this is to the load
ist
Hey Inno,
Almost 4 weeks, and no update?????
My first thought was that you had killed yourself
with that monster of a coil! (LOL)
But then I see that you are still posting on other threads.
What is the status of the big coil?
Any "kicks" to report?
Bob
i have built this a wile ago yes
have not tryed to power just yet no need the only need is to understand why and how
then i will know what to do ;) and what not to do >:(
and how to stay safe ;D i still dont want to be bitten do you?

@IST
Hello my old friend, oooowaaaaaarrrrrrrrr thats a big coil you got there.
Have you given it a kick in the guts yet? will it give a bit of grunt as an out put?
Now, what do I see you are up to with TOOBS, 3 toobs, what are you up to ist?
Are you gonne belt it with pulses of DC? radient stuff?
hmmmm you are interresting and cleaver.
hooroo my friend
jim

THANK YOU JIM!
;D
YOU DO KNOW WHERE THIS WILL GO ... ;)
I SEE THE SAME SH!T I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG ... ;)
