user TURBO?s replication of Steven Mark?s TPU ?

HELP!!!
I need a little help over here. I've wound and connected as per Otto's diagram and all I get out is what I put in. I have a feeling it may be due to the fact that I am using 3 different signal generators. 3 different power supplies feeding the coils probably doesn't help much. Anyone have any ideas. Should I dig out my MOSFET's and have the generators fire them?

And also a question for Otto. You mention back a ways that you take the power off of the point where the collectors meet with the feedback. According to your drawing, the collectors do not connect to the feedback. Did I misunderstand? Maybe it's just not shown in the drawing?

Giantkiller,

How did you make out with that light bulb? I see that they are already starting to put up billboards with you on them. Something about the second coming. You aren't paying them to do that, are you?

Yes. I do feel a little like a god. LOL. I was instructed not to turn on the device without the proper shielding. I am following orders. I just got back from the hardware store with the parts.

GK, the thing I really need an answer on before I can begin building is how to wind the control coils.

This can be answered either by you saying if they are bucking or not, or better yet you drawing a diagram. (where about 2 turns represent 200, with the core transparent)

I don't want to make 1200 of the turns in the wrong direction.

Please see my attached picture and carefully study it to ensure it is correct. (all in all there are 8 different likely and many more possible winding direction combinations)

Hi,
you make all the windings into the same directions on all the cores.
Also the feedback coil, which Otto says, he also did devide and put as 4 "control coils" !

Then you can play with the configuration outside of the TPU,
if you take the coil endings out of the TPU and connect them
just outside.

This way, you can try several combinations.

@GiantKiller,

please don?t post these Anime pics with your postings..
Okay, they look nice, but it is offtopic and it just
only fills up the attachment folder.
Better post a few pics of your TPU.
Do you have a camera, so you can post pictures ?
What input power do you feed into your TPU ?
At ardoun 12 Volts and 8.5 Amperes you are already in
the 100 Watts input range, if you use this much and
this surely will heat your coils...
So how much power do you get out then ?

Many thanks.

I read and obey. How much does that drive cost with the trillions of dollars of technology on it?

@All,
Let us not forget! It was Otto's diagram that was the key to the step I took. I still stand on the shoulders of great men!

Ground the screen.

Stout wire and a clamp to a water pipe is good - or similar, like a rod in the ground

If you get high static electricity on insulating materials - like your table or counter - try mopping the floor with warm water to kick the humidity up and dissipate the charge.

Homemade coherer would be nice sanity check...make a light up circuit with it as the switch.
(ferrite filings will also work)

I couldn't find the right wire, I looked a lot.

I just want to verify, the wire has no insulation on it? (just green iron wire)  - the colour obviously isn't important.

I'll try a wholesale florist tomorrow, got to build the drivers anyway.

Thanks for all the help GK, and it seems you are indeed living up to your name.
