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

[hartiberlin]

This is pure BS, I can take a 1.5 volt NiMH battery and hook it into what is basically a stepping power supply and power anything for a short amount of time. SM took 60 of those non-rechargeable batteries and directly powered stuff bypassing his stepping power supply later on. A battery will supply as much current as you ask before it burns out, there is no limiter except for the leads burning out.

I take my 1.5 volts and put a 555 timer on it and pulse it to 8-9khz, now I can use very very small step-up transformers only requiring one turn of wire as the primary and as many on the secondary as needed for the voltage needed. 10 turn secondary means 1.5 x 10 volts = 15 volts.. the tesla coil and the tesla transmitter means it's now in the thousands of volts at 8-9k frequency. Yes, I can power that bulb for a very short time. Spend about 400 bucks and buy 60 or so of those NIMH watch batteries and tape them together and you have a 100volt 1.5 or so amp battery pack that can power things for about 30 minutes or so, but totally unrechargeable.

Roggy, you can do this with batteries,
but in the case of the Steven Mark TPU,
there were just no batteries !

It is just a matter of the right coil configurations !

Regards, Stefan.

allright
I have finished the 555 board and completed my first tpu test unit.
after work I will begin testing.  I must say the 555 circuit has three nice clean square waves up to 200khz 
I will post any progress

cheers

Hey roggy32
I made just such a comment in an earlier post, I could fake this in my sleep,too easy.
The problem here is this is based on Tesla's work, to say this cannot be done is to suppose you are smarter than tesla, you know Tesla with thousands of patents, who invented our AC grid power system single handedly, invented radio-yes radio, remote control , logic gates and the list goes on. Are you saying your smater than Nikola Tesla?

I didn't think so, there is always a possibility anyone could get what Tesla did right, by chance-by luck you cannot deny it is impossible.

1) Light up some light bulbs in some crappy videos

2) Talk some nonsense, cut and paste some Tesla thrown in for effect. Keep it obscure, talk about little birdies.

3) Dangle all this in front of people

4) Never release anything resembling documentation

5) Call anyone who challenges you "stupid" "fools" or "you know  nothing"

6) Do some more crappy videos with light bulb tricks

7) Talk about "development process"

Fade back out of town, leaving a mystery.
