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

No, my point was if you rotating a real magnet, then you have spinning mass, regardless of the magnetic field.

So if we feel Gyroscopic forces in the TPU then its doing something fundamentally different!

Hi Moab,
I remember back in the past about using sonic or ultra-sonic sounds waves to heat and cool a tube.
You have a metal tube blocked off at each end and with a series of flat fins inside each end of the tube.
You stick one end in a fire and the other end drops below freezing just from sound waves traveling up and down the tube.
Maybe someone can explain this better than me, it was on Tomorrow's World BBC program over 25 years ago I think.
thermoacoustic freezer:

So the heat that GK is seeing could be Thermoacoustic.
The PVC tape forms the tube and the input coils form a compressed region/constriction in the control coil.

So sound waves travel around the air gap between the control coil windings and when they hit a constriction you get heating on one side and cooling on the other.
Or you get heating on the perimeter of the coil and cooling on the inside.
It all seems to fit.

Dave,
I can not see how a "rotating magnetic field" is generated by GK. This is a topic dear to me! There is a separate thread I am trying to revive about this.

Perhaps I wasn't clear!

I agree with what you are saying, like phase motors, the TPU doesnt have a real rotating field.  You can only get that by rotating a real magnet!

All we are doing is turning certain coils on and off at different times and compass can ride this effect making it appear to have a rotating field, but thats just a visual illusion.

So, I am not sure how this gyroscopic effect can appear, something unknown must be going on, which can only be a good sign?!

...Archimedes is reputed to have used powerful lodestones to pull the nails out of enemy ships thus sinking them.

I suppose that even the strongest magnets today cannot do this (except maybe using strong magnetic fields produced by explosive devices???) and therefore the story is very probably wrong.. or did Archimedes use some unknown method???

In 1600 William Gilbert wrote:

"In follies and fables do philosophers of the vulgar sort take delight; and with such like do they cram readers a-hungered for things obtruse, and every ignorant gaper for nonsense.
But when the nature of the lodestone shall have been by our labours and experiments tested, then will the hidden and recondite but real causes of this great effect be brought forward, proven , demonstrated...and the foundations of a grand magnetic science being laid will appear anew, so that high intellect may no more be deluded by vain opinions"
