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

Has no one managed to work out SM's shoe size yet?
I think this thread is dying.

HI all,

I don't dont analysing the big one is a good idea!  The big one is one of the very last models and has loads of extra control circuitry making it harder to back engineer.  I think that it's human nature after seeing the small models and thinking wow they are so small and there is nothing to them, but still I cant work out how it works so I will default to something I can try and anaylse being the big one with all the extra parts!  But this just makes it more complex on you!

In the small toroid the top ring is bare of any electronics.  The two standoffs between the rings are not just standoffs.  They are much larger than they need to be for standoffs.  I would say that they are magnets. Notice how the rings are cut to incorporate them.  There are holes in the rings over the center of the standoff/magnets.  These holes are in four places but there are only two magnets.  What appears to be a large capacitor occupies a third position, and there seems to be some kind of green clip over the fourth.  The fourth position appears to be otherwise empty.  It looks like the original design had four magnets and that was reduced to two.

The large TPU has a flange at the bottom which is possibly analogous to the bare ring in the small TPU.  It appears to have no wires in it.  Is it merely a base or does it have something to do with the magnetic fields?

Magnets are the key, look at a transformer and how it works, you want to create that same field and apply it to a coil to produce your voltage.

Hi All,

Just a food for thought. I think some of the information in the forum are correct and some are misleading.

Here are some of it:

1. I think YES, the TPU require some frequencies to operate but not the way we interpreted it.
2. And YES (for the time being) we need input, but not to extend more than 3 or 6 volt and not more than 1 amp.
3. And YES, speed (frequency) is very important in the TPU.
4. And YES, I think there are core inside the TPU and the core could be anything i.e iron filling, ferrite, iron coil and etc.
5. I don't think so of the magnet play a major contribution in the power generation (at the moment). There are purpose for the magnet, but not directly to power.
6. I don't think so the TPU required a complex circuitry to fed it. But it still required some circuit to do the worked.
7. And I think the TPU is built simple but yet "tricky".
8. And for the big TPU i.e SM17, I think the outer ring is only an inverter (transformer) which is not the the power unit. The device inside the outer ring are the one who produced the wattage.

These are some of my observation and from what I understand after reading and from my own experiment.

I hope it is useful, but if not, sorry for the bandwidth waste  .
