Hi Otto,

I want just to say, that the internal diode seems like work for us. Otto, please just do this test and check if You can get any conversion. You can use MOS FETs or Tubes but the biggest different between them is this internal diode in FET transistor. Just see how different works your TPU.

Put a transient bi-directional diode on D-S path. You will see the difference when you resonant circuit  can climb to certain voltage to open diode.

Germanium diodes need only .2 volts. Should have used these ages ago as primary drive tank, then the other diode at .7 volts as secondary drive. If you use them .7 ones to start, it is difficult to create gain. lol

Hello all,

@sfieszaq

today at 4AM I connected a oridinary diode as you have shown in the picture.

Result: I have the same signals like before, without the diode.

Then I connected a ultrafast diode like you have me shown in the picture.

Result: I have the same signals like before without the diode. The signals are clean, rock stable and DIDNT change at all. Not for 1 mm.

I hope I dont have to explain why they didnt change.

    Semiconductors are just that.  Glorified resistors.  Like SM said they will let you down when you really need them.  They will either short due to the high voltages or pop due to the high currents.  They are only good in highpower circuits if they are not used linearly.  They need to be off as much as they are on to allow for heat dissipation.  I used a mosfet bank once linearly for a variable loading supply on an alternator test stand.  The heat sink was dissapating just as much energy as the resistor bank was.  Tesla built a big old diode using steel and copper.  This created a rotating magnetic field that would rotate in one direction just like the ac induction motor field rotates relative to the rotor.  The rotor sees a changing magnetic field and induces currents that lag the stator winding rotating magnetic field.  The induced currents create a magnetic field that attempts to catchup with the stator winding rotating field.  In the Tesla diode there is no rotor but a fixed winding to experience the rotating magnetic field.  The coils are not shorted as they are in an induction motor squirrel cage winding but are connected like an alternator winding.  This winding is not shorted so that there appears a dc voltage corresponding to the rpm of the rotating magnetic field.  This induces a pulsating dc current as the poles of the exciter winding change the magnetic density in and around the output winding conductors.  Westinghouse ownd Tesla at the time and sure as hell wasnt going to let one of his guys invention salvage Edisons failing grid.  Shelved.  Like Morgan shelved the magnifying transmitter.  Which is just a big insulated capacitor plate stuck in the ground.  The only resistance to the unipole established in the tunnels and insulation painted on the floating underground anode.
