Is the KICK a shockwave ?

"Pulse transformers" are a common means to produce pulses.  Lots of noise coming out with the spike - rings like hell after it.

  Yea, that is where the high frequency part comes in. The harmonics are really screaming - probably would scope as a high amplitude, short duration square wave. They (the harmonics) are only part of the signal, and the higher up you go the weaker they become, but they are there.
  You might be able to jack up the frequency of a normal batterie's input signal so as to light a incandescant bulb with very low current (see below). It's possible that is all that's happening in the video. It's hard to meter the acutal power that its putting out.
  Still, just assuming that is not it...they way to explain any OU would probably involve sucking current out of the ambient VED (ether). It's got a lot of normal components, and nothing strange like really high freq. equip, but that doesn't mean something strange can't be happening.
  He talks about the main coil possibly getting overly hot. So, that would likey not be a problem of normal resistance (ohmic heating). He seems visably concerned about the heat...which may indicate that this is a flyback pulse transformer, which in prolonged operation would develop hysteresis from the 'bouncing/reflecting' spikes as they change direction. Since it's also bumping up the frequency by introducing a lot of signal distortion (harmonics), then there would be eddy current losses from skin effect, and that would also produce heat.
  Since no one can tell exactly how the coils are wound we have a real problem figureing out exactly what the heck the TPU is doing. I'm sorry to be so theorhetical about it, and not suggesting a configuration to try (typical annyoing newbie).
  My best guess is that it's operating as a tesla-type longitudinal wave oscillator, and that he's figured out a way to create the waves without special high frequency equipment, and is catching the OU current from the disturbed ether in his secondary(s). If that is the case it would be worth it to watch these in full, and even perhaps try a reproduction..

  there may be a clue to the winding of his coils somewhere in the device explained in the vids above. if it's working on the same L-wave principle. Also, I may be totally wrong about the whole 'ether' aspect of it as even tesla liked to say that his L-wave power transformers/generators were interacting with the earth's fields instead of some more fundamental 'weelwork of nature'.

Devils Advocate:
That's all based on the asumption that it's not just a really inefficeint high frequency inverter/converter that is capable of lighting a bulb with very low power due to high frequency characteristics. There are some battery powered, small high freq. dc sources out there that will probably light incandescent bulbs with small batteries, small enough to fit in his device, like these...

  SM may have found a way to make one like these long before anyone else. But, I would like to belive otherwise and just stick to tesla's L. wave principle.

The clamp meter indicates that a strong varying magnetic field is in the center of the TPU.

Tesla experienced a strong physical heating effect when using a certain range of pulse widths - 100 micro-second duration - or maybe it was 1 micro-second.  Anyway, beyond this he found a cooling effect at shorter durations.

It is my understanding that the TPU can literally burn up due to this heat.  I hope that I can duplicate the cool electricity that Tesla found with shorter pulse widths.


Tesla was very adament about the pulses not reversing - no reverse current.  Like a ram jet - just keeps the flow going and never lets up.


There are many many ways to wind the coils - naturally some will be better than others.

Start with this:  when the signal is abruptly stopped in the wire - the radiant energy is released out of the wire in all directions perpendicular to the wire.  This RE impinges on a conductor and imparts a charge to it.  Turbo explained this pretty well before he went quiet.  So, as you can see, the configuration that everyone is following is not the only one that will work.

With the Dirac Delta Function, the frequency view looks like spikes approaching infinity.  The time view looks like an almost infinite square wave.  Like a DC component with hash on top. (sound familiar?)
