acerzw a mechanical version is not in my remit. I am looking to replicate only the TPU so im afraid i cant help with any mechanical design. My suggestion is the world is already FULL of mechanical over unity inventions LOL

GiantKiller the wein bridge is an excellent sine wave device except for the stability. However to tinker with the frequencies to "see what happens" then its a good circuit to play with. If you create tornado  over your house and  town starts to lose power then you know its tuning nicely.

i will work everyday for the rest of my life but it will not be considered work

but PLAY

if you can think it you will have it but only if you want it !!!

just like gk  said

how bad do you want it?

@ all
well all the secrets for secucess are all already here it is just a matter of finding them for yourselvs 

and it all lies with in you. you make it happin and no one can do it for you

isteam!!

Its just occured to me that 2 of the 3 frequencies once we found them will be fixed and very accurate either uP controlled or Xtal. The third frequency will be the BFO to produce the hetrodyne  but this is also controlling the reactor from self destruction. Our goal of course is to provide a reasonable level of power from the device without overheating or over under volts can all be done on the Voltage Controlled Osc.  One of the control coils will sniff the output voltage where we can rectify, smooth it, divide it down and feed that into the VCO. Then this will track optimal working conditions within a working window. I don't think we know for sure what the earth mag frequency is does it change? Is it stable like an atomic clock? I dunno but we CAN see the effects and adjust the BFO accordingly. Its early days yet but may be able to control the output voltage of the device using a comparator against our reference voltage calibrated against what we want the device to do. Lets say it gets very hot at 180 volts at BFO 68.5674 Khz then our comparator ref will be running too high. The VCO can then be forced off frequncy to say 68.5631 Khz detuning the device and dropping the voltage to 120 volts where is runs cool and happy. As the device is loaded the voltage may drop again so BFO tunes in harder but this time a thermistor taped in the coil will force it off tune again if it gets too hot.

If you recall SM had a problem with his 800 volt TPU once time it went a bit haywire and the voltage dropped to 200 volts. I suspect the VCO lost its tracking but its a simple solution very easy and cheap.

I realise you are not aiming at a mechanical version, however I like it for its simplicity, I understand the phase problem and do think there are a number of simple work arounds. Ideally a completely solid state one would be great, but I don't need ideal and since my electronics skills are basic it would be more difficult to construct for me. I want one you can construct from easily sourced components that could be built where only they are available. I am sure this sounds really sad, but I also like to see things working, so I would probably stick a few coloured leds on the rotor 

Correct me if I am wrong, but a small mechanical rotary TPU device like this could produce a lot of power from a small size?

I had thought of hybrids and have a few ideas.

Apart from the phase problem, is there anything wrong with the basic idea?

I just saw the irf840 compared to the irf530, does not have the schottky fast recovery diode but a regular one.
Should be ok though. We are in the 5khz range and the 840 is 1/2 the spec of 530.
General purpose and hi-speed switching. I don't see any specs on the frequency response characteristics.

This should be interesting.
