Hank has added two new partners to assist him.  Please read their bio and my note under Hank's name.  Thank you.

I want to comment on the next stage of our replication, research and development.  For one thing, you will want to keep a log of experiments.  Some do this and some do not.  This way, if an experiment is either successful or not, it will be noted in great detail.  This will help others to replicate it, or to skip the identical experiment and not waste time.

Also, ANY changes to the Bob B. build of your core, please make a note.  Example, if I wind with 50 turns on each primary, and you wind with 30, we need to note this for comparison sake. 

Remember the safety warnings.  Do not fear, but simply be wise and excercise common sense.  If there are storm cloud overhead, await another time.

Thank you.

NOTES: 
1.  Connections diagram will be is now on the build page.
2.  Eldarion has offered FREE software programmed for what the controller needs if you choose to go that route.  The zip file can be found on his website.
3.  A public thank you to Bob B. for all of his assistance with this project!
4.  Any questions or comments of individual builds, please PM the individual builder.
5.  Once your core has come in, if you post on our future group builders thread for pictures, experiments, etc.  That will be your update and will simply be referenced in the builders update, as I have done with GK, Eldarion and Earl.  Thank you.   

Builder Updates:

Eldarion and Bruce - Partners
Eldarion is in the process of coding and
manufacturing a three-phase sine wave generator with high-impedance
outputs.  It will be another pluggable module, so we can swap it out for
the pulse generator if need be, but we are starting to think that open-ended
sine waves will make for wonderful experimenting, given all of SM's emphasis on frequency purity.

Once that is done, Eldarion will probably issue another release of the software
and schematics (timetable 2-3 weeks).

Cores have been shipped via Fed Ex and should be to Bruce Monday or Tuesday... 

Thaelin:
Update for you before I am out the door and gone for the few. Torrids showed up today.   Just a heads up in advance, I will be vacationing Aug 20 to the 28 in BC. Then a 4 X 12 work week right after so will be out for a bit. 

Rob -
PCB artwork for -5V inverter (DDS 20 power supply) complete, see DDS 20 topic:
http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,2650.msg38239.html#msg38239

Completed a wooden bird table this evening,fixed hole in garage roof, doing a car boot
sale Sunday. May get time to etch the inverter board on Sunday.

While everyone is waiting for their cores I have two sitting on my window sill as
ornaments waiting for my function generator and divider circuits to be completed.

Committments at work mean I have to use up my spare time to get the work cleared - talk about flogging a willing horse.  You work hard to do a good job - in my case its PHP/MySql web based applications and you end up lumbered with twice as much work as those around you.

Ward:
Working on pulser.  Rcvd donuts.  Have all needed to wind.  Have been
busy at work this week.

I see now Earl's ff way shall not toss or waste Q/.  Thy length shalt
fit thou pwidht exactedly, if no fetfret... showing me 6 comes from the
paraline itself and yield another trio 180out... wahoo!  Resembling Biff
Eiler, but just q and not.  I knew thinking too much can be a good
thing.  Besides my hands were getting tingly from sitting on them so
much.  I've a Spectrum Analyzer to ensure no dirty harms come by.  Good
thing is these var's are top layer and may be changed easy.  Has anyone
else happened to turn down a pvc length for hotwax xfer of the ID?  I've
no budget left for a lath till next month.  Have ye light bolt rods?  I
know Ben Frank'n said iron, NOT copper, and would have used iron even if
he had cu rods.

Dingus Mungus (Chris)-
I'm moving now, so I'll be out of the loop for a little while longer, but I should be recieving my core soon.  Not quite a vacation here, but my move has forced me to tear down shop...
I'll be back by the 1st or second week of Sept.

Jason -
Working on programming new chip for deluxe controller.

Grumpy:
Experimenting - no phase adjust yet.

GK:
Back from vacation.  He posts all pictures and descriptions on his thread. ?Lord of the Rings?.  I have my controller done and have driven the ECD with single freq at 30k. I pull 3.8 amps. I am working with Roberto and the ECD PDF for initial setup to go further.

I also am setting up 2 ezflow loops each with a companion loop of stranded CU. These wing edge assemblies will face each other vertically just like the SM17. I will drive both with the controller and 2 stun guns for massive RE generation. We shall see.

I am also planning to put the GK4 on the new controller just for grins.  I want that hi-speed spinning magnetic interference.  These things all take time. Other irons in the fire.

Mark:
Is headed back to Australia.  We miss ya Mark!

Wer:
Got my cores today!!!!
I will be winding this weekend.

Hank, Derek and Phillip are partners -
I am awaiting 16 gauge wire.  Recieved the wrong wire from one supplier.  They sent stranded.

I have added two new partners with me on this build.  Phillip and Derek.

(*Bruce's Note:  Derek is another Dr., a Phd. and will add much to our future research.  Phillip is a hands on builder and his expertise is things mechanical.  I would also like to publicly thank Hank, who has been one of my partners and my lead researcher on the SM project, from day one.  If it hadn't been for Hank finding things that no one else could, we would not be here today.  I appreciate your efforts Hank!!!

Welcome to the build team, Dr. Derek and Phillip!  We are glad to have you both on board, and Hank is thrilled to have your assistance.)

Derek's Bio:
just want to say hello and let you know that I am enthusiastic about the TPU project. Hank, Phil and I are all colleagues working together on this.
My background is in communication system design. I have worked about 11 years in various companies in the silicon valley, doing all aspects of modem design, including algorithm design, computer modeling, circuit design, field testing. My doctoral work at Stanford U was also in communication/signal processing. In the past few years, I have been working in a warehouse lab I established in San Francisco. At the lab, I have investigated several new energy machines.
My overunity.com username is dgerlach

Phillip's Bio:
I want to get involved in this tpu project ( Partnered with Hank and Derek) . I Have been
working on car trucks and motorcycles For the last 30 years.

Just received 3 of the t-650 toroids with 1000 ft of silver plated wire on order.I have lots of time on my hands and I am determined to  do what ever it takes to get these things working. My user name is philco7
Hope I can help move things forward .

Tao -
Fortunately and unfortunately, I will be going on vacation for about 2+
weeks. With minor breaks of a day or two in between here or there.

Amiel -
Got my toroids Friday, Ward is sending the dds20's, Down machines at
work severely limiting my off time (16 hours yesterday!) Will wind
starting Sunday hopefully.

Earl -
Earl's build update can be seen on his thread, "Earl's Corner."
Managed to measure the pulser circuit and found what I was expecting:

pulse width about 10 nsec
rise and fall times in the lower nsec range.

Only had 3 hours of sleep the night before so shut everything done when I saw things were good.  Will continue measuring this week-end and publish the scope screen shots and test set-up in Earl's corner.

Will see if I can manage to also test the FET driver circuit with no load and see how it looks.

I have added a new builder, named Edward.  Please read his bio at the bottom of this page  Thank you.

Eldarion and Bruce -
Eldarion is working on debugging the HV bias on controller.  His build can be seen on his thread.
I have received 2 cores and all wire except magnet wire.  Awaiting magnet wire and third core from another builder.  Will be winding coils the second I lay my hands on the magnet wire.

Hank, Phil and Dr. Derek -
I ordered 16 ga magnet wire for longitudinal. After discussing with Jason, I am switching to 20 ga. So I am ordering 20 ga wire. Will start winding after long weekend. Phil is same.

Grumpy -
?

Thaelin -
As for the update, well still looking for the wire. Winding the bias tonite. Ordering the #20 tomorrow with 2 day ship. Just need to know which way I need to go on the other. May have to use #18 if I can get the 16. Updating the controller with the faster chips so it will go over 800K. Noticed an article on another site that used the AD series chip and did the setup with dip switches.

Wer -
His build update can now be seen at his new thread.

Mark -
?

Jason -
Still designing new board.  I found a company to solder my chip.

Rob -
I have caught up with my work at work now so I should be able to etch
the inverter board and test it over this weekend before ordering more
parts to make more of them.
Then I can move onto the hardware assembly of the function generator
enclosure.

I have been watching the videos at:
http://www.hutchisoneffectonline.com/
Mainly the "Race to zero point" and what this seems to show backs up
what we are trying to achieve with the TPU.
We are immersed in a sea of endless energy that cannot be seen or used
normally because it is all at the same level. One of the quotes was,
"how do you measure the weight of a beaker of water when it is immersed
under water?"
So by creating a vortex in the ether by applying a rotating magnetic
field we can create an ether/energy density difference that can then be
tapped.

Chris -
Update:
Just finishing up my move... I'll have a lot more space for my lab now! I'm very excited to get started with the new cores.

Ward -
I'm working on various pulsers and pwm for more harmonics experiments
while I wait for my solid wire... and the switching power supply for
Bias.  I am wanting to use bifilar windings on BBtpu, but am thinking
I'd better do the first toroid exactly as Bob shows.

I am hooked on Delta Functions high-pass
with loaded diode follower for perfect pulse and ability to tweak out
the ring with impedence matching.  I see the max amplitude sweet spot in
the F-cut-off about a decade higher than ring frequency.  Only problem
is needing a wider pulse.. if really needed.  Anything else has that
crummy ring and no good way to quell it I see so far besides line
matching.  Big high voltage pulses are easy but they ring.  High-power
high-pass pondering now.  Only overshoot component makes it beyond Delta
Function high-pass... not the DC square wave pulse.  I still have to
connect my Spectrum Analyzer to confirm that the high-pass needs 50%
duty cycle in order to get all harmonics in phase and at same ampilitude
as fundamental.   The text only shows the 25% d-c having diminishing
harmonics, but without the high-pass connected also.  I will see.

Back from vacation just this week, but had a HUGE setback, in the form of
flooding in my home/room...In the midwest, it's been monsoon season around
here. Anyway, my oscilloscope is a bit f'ed up, and my whole room ISN'T in
my room anymore, lol, meaning everything is in boxes and awaiting insurance
$ and new carpeting... Took the insurance guys almost a week to come out,
due to all the calims in the midwest, it is crazy. The good news, I might be
getting some nice replacement $ for my scopes and shit, hence, potential
brand new equipment to use ... So, not really a 'good' update, but an
update nonetheless...

Amiel -
Rcvd care package from Ward. Working on timing and PWM circuit.  Money
now becomes an issue with the Teflon wire.(Man, is it expensive) Plenty
of maget wire though. Temporarily I will experiment with that. Work
keeping me busy at about 75hours this week. (Wish I was an hourly
employee!)

Earl -
Earl's build update can be seen on his thread, "Earl's Corner."
I will be updating Earl's corner this week-end.  Things are going a bit slower than I want.
I intend next week to make measurements in the frequency domain.

Edward -
New builder.  Welcome Ed!  He has already ordered his new cores.

Bio -
My name is Edward. I'm a long time reader of the forum and have been actively following the Steven Mark and TPU based research and experiments for some time now. I have been researching alt energy applications for the last 6-7 years and attempting experiments/replications for the last 2-3. My last experiments I have worked on was the Rotoverter technology which I acheived many similar anomolous phenomenon being reported with TPU research, including, but not limited to weight fluctiuations, overunity states, and one scary runaway condition that I thanked the Lord I had prepared a mechanical braking setup for just that type of situation. I discontinued further research into that line of research regardless of the positive results after experiencing the danger in using powerful mechanical forces coupled with and in addition to the already powerful EM forces occuring. In addition, the bulk of the setup also convinced me to find a more light weight and smaller sized alternative for some of the interesting applications that this technology will bring in the future.

I have always been one who tends to read and soak up all information, then experiment, before they post, however I found myslef signing up when reading about the Bob Boyce replications that are being done. I've always been a huge fan... he is truly an inspiring man and have always followed his postings around the different sites with great interest. I have read his postings here and at other ou sites and have always marveled at his ability to communicate complex concepts and applications very simply. While I never attempted any of his hydroxy research because of my desire to tap that engergy directly, I knew he always shared that desire and he hinted many times that the source and "secret" of that power harnessing lay in the pulsing of multi-frequencies through a toroid core. There were so many similarities to what I have always read in his posts and what you were doing here that it was truly an inspiration to see him join here and begin contributing to the board!

Alas, just as I siliently hunkered down for the barage of new knowledge that would be generated from the coloboration of this incredibly intelligent group here and Bob's additional inputs, it was wisely decided to be made private. So, I would like to humbly ask that I may be considered to join the group as well. I am very civilized and respectful individual and it is doubtful you will hear much from me that isn't directly related to replcation observations... which is without doubt, my primary focus at this time: replication. I tend to not be much of a theorizer, and primarily a get my hands dirty type of guy, as I really don't understand much until after I get in there and fumble around... and maybe just a wee bit afterwards ;-). However, I'm not a complete neophyte to electronics, having built and repaired a few of my own tube amplifiers and my most recent work with the RV project. So please, do not consider me a liability, I will do all in my power to contribute to the project... being a c++ programmer in "real life", and owning a custom cnc mill which i built for my hobbies and projects, I humbly offer these services to the group in the future if ever needed.

Most of the updates were given by telephone conference Friday evening.  This was recorded and I have asked that the recording be posted as soon as possible, for those who missed it.  This coming Friday evening is our Bob Boyce phone/Skype conference.  I have asked that this also be recorded and posted.  I have asked Jason to continue to moderate and organize these, since he does such a good job at it!     Thank you Jason!!  Though we will be adding some "protocol" to the conference, to keep it organized and to make sure that everyone wanting to ask a question, is recognized.

I have added a new builder, named Stan.  Please read his bio at the bottom of this page  Thank you.  Rich has also been added.  Many of you already know him.  Both of these builders have much to offer the group and will be a plus.  Welcome Stan and Rich!

Eldarion and Bruce -
His build can be seen on his thread.  Magnet wire has been located at the latest destination of my vacation and I start winding tomorrow night.

Hank, Phil and Dr. Derek -
I ordered 1200ft of 20 ga magnet wire which will arrive next week. I am making some tools for windings cause we have 3-4 cores to be wound.

One more guy is to join building. Ryan Grace. He ia a programmer. I'll let you know when I confirm.

JT is EE in our group here. He wrote a book that talks about many OU devices. He even experienced "electricity snake" that followed him around with a few witnesses. Kinda like Bob talked about electronic signature that drew lightening. JT says the samething too.

Happy vacations Bruce!

Grumpy -

Bio -
My Name is Stan. I have a background in electronics and industrial electricity (three phase and single phase). I do work for the power company and part of my work is welding and machine ship services. I have designed and built wind turbines that are slow speed. I enjoy most technical subjects and do some reading in the technical fields. I am looking to make a TPU.

I can offer machine shop services to others in the group as well as welding. Currently I do welding and machine shop work for others.  I Look forward to working with the group.

I have added a two new builders, named Spencer and RichSAS..  Please read his bio at the bottom of this page  Thank you.  Bob knows RichSAS and he has already been replicating.  Both of these builders have much to offer the group and will be a plus.  Welcome Spencer and RichSAS!

Rob -
Sorting out knobs and hardware in general to put together the DDS 20
into its case.
To-do:
Re-do of the layout for the inverter board to make use of existing
components on the board instead of removing them.
Tests to carry out:
The experiment that Dr Mark Snoswell did with a toroidal core with a
magnetic biased winding with say 4A DC input, non-inductive winding with
50% square wave input of a range of frequencies, and a moveable probe
coil to locate the various nodes positions.
This I think is important to establish a basic working model of
magnaccoustic waves.
Next step, as Dr Snoswell said, is to replace the static magnetic bias
with a pulse bias coil going around the core completely. The same with
the second non-inductive coil, this  will go around the core. The idea
being to get the nodes to rotate from their stationary position.

RichSAS - 
Welcome!  Already replicating with Bob Boyce!

Spencer - Is part of Ward's build team!  Welcome!
   I am collecting wire at this time I have a core.
Bio: 
I live in North Texas where I work as an Equipment Engineer for a photomask company. I gradutated college in 92 which there after did a very short stint in the Marines, went on to work at Texas Instruments, MEMC and Photronics. At every place I have always been involved with repair, maintenance, modification, and design of equipment (electronic and hardware). I am also married with two young children and two dogs... I just completed building our new house back in December. When I say built I mean I did what I was physically able to do, like all the plumbing, electrical, trim work, tile work, landscaping and so on.

Hey Guys,

I have unlocked this thread.  Each of you not having your own thread, can now post updates directly to this thread.  Enough builders now have their own threads to post active updates on, and this "second generation" of builders may post here.  We will all be looking to here how things are going with your build and hoping to share experimental notes when that time comes.

My time is very limited, needing to yet wind another coil, and knowing how time consuming it is.  So I will be doing that, rather than spending time posting for you. 

Thank you for your understanding and help in this matter,
Bruce

(The same holds true though, that all who agreed to build, do so, and not just be a spectator.  Even if you do not have much going on, we want to hear from you.   Thanks!    )
