Onward.
Quote from the book 'Tesla, Master of lightning':
There is reason to believe that the so-called 'woodpecker' signal, a low-frequency transmission emmanating from Latvia in the late 1970s, was a Soviet global weather experiment.

   As I am not really a hard hitter here, I am reluctant to post some of my feelings. Sometimes I feel what I have to say is not worth the bandwidth. I may find that it is just the complete opposite. This befalls many a forum and soon results in the demise of it. This started out as an idea based on some film clips. It has come so far from where it started. I still remember the look on the faces of three students here at the university. I was given a couple of hours play time in the electronics lab. I proved 90 degree coupleing in a coil. They could not accept the fact it happened and with a gain of 3 as well

   Anyhow what I would like to ask if its ok is to have all of us adopt some sort of standard of the way we do things. If you do an experiment, no matter what it is as long as it follows along with what we are doing, post it and all the parameters with results. I think a new thread just for it should be made say LOTR-EXP or something such to label it. When one is working in a research facility, there are strict guide lines by which they proceed. Above all, open and up front for us all to see and muse on and add to, change and redo. That makes it easy to progress forward.

Hope a flame suit is not in order for this post but really had to say it.

I have cleaned the post parts that were disagreeable with some. Now what I would like to know is what part of those posts are incorrect in the areas of electronic or physics. If any should be found I will delete those parts also. I am intent on keeping this thread true to the sciences. Also if any parts strike fear in the hearts of men, make women faint or children cry I will gladly evict those parts also. Until this thread is void if need be...

Hi Sugra,

I agree with you 100%. As much as us FE people like to talk criticize the scientific community, I personally commend them for their rigorous and standardized documentation and peer review. I think the simplest way we can do this is to follow the scientific method. I was taught this waay back in Middle school. When we do our TPU experiments, it would be simple to do a lab report on our findings. And for the format? easy:

1. Problem/Question

2. Hypothesis

3. Test procedure

4. Observations/Data

5. Conclusion.

This is the simplest way to proceed and it will show enough information for anyone who reads it to replicate the results. This is the BIGGEST problem I have seen with people here on the forum. Lots of ideas, and lots of cool tests, but little to no documentation. If everyone here would simply document their findings, there wouldn't be so many newbies doing repeat experiments. Also, there have been many good experiments that have been lost/forgotten in the threads because of no information in one coherent location.

RIght now, I am building a tube test station. Once I finish it, I will publish a PDF file with full specs, build plans, photos, and data to show the output waveforms. That way anyone who wants to play with tubes can make one. It makes no sense that we all have to run around looking for 50 different ways to do the same thing when there are plenty of us out there who have done it. Improving these issues will streamline our productivity as a group and help us reach our goals much faster.

God Bless,
