Successful TPU-ECD replication !

       The tpu is but a smoke ring in the aether.  It's progression across the aether maintaining it's mass.. We just need to stand it's shadow and observe.

       Another insight.   AC motors on vfd drives sing.  Years ago I investigated this and thought that it was vibration from the external parts of the motor like the connection box or fan shroud.  What was happening was that the whole motor was vibrating at the carrier freq.  The shaft could be barely turning and the motor was just singing away.  The carrier freq was 4khz with a 0-60hz modulation on top of it.  I thought at the time how much power it would take for me to get 70-100 lbs of mass vibrating at 4khz and what an inefficient system this whole circuit really was.

When designing circuits I have tried to avoid anomalous resonance. Now I am finding it hard to make a fricken wire vibrate.



I am looking into this because I think it may have something to do with how the TPU performs. Vibration seems to be brought up a lot in the Videos.

Might explain why the thing fails. James Randi - bending a spoon till it breaks apart:



But, what do I know. I am just a phone guy. 

Take care.

Hello all and Otto - just stoped in to say HI and see how things are going.  I see another kink got a new thread LOL . Otto any progress?  I got my Laten jars made and looking at 500.000 voltas hehehe now if I can do something with them    the plates on the coil is seaming to keep the flux path densaty together as EAS said it might do. strong static path that is uncontrolable when the volta get up there so I keep them small so not to blow crap up. It;s some what like a metrone when running the timeing sets it;s self. look at the Shumans coil and how the thing is wraped on the web site that gives the daily forcast of resonance.

sorry to post before i finish reading all the posts, but one day i am reading and there are 92 pages and now there are just 35... ?
Keep up the good work.

Guys, I am going to start under the assumption that the small 6" unit as demonstrated in the SM video is battery powered. Now that I have my equipment, and a selection of parts, I have started designing my power input frequency driver units. Using the 555, I have come across a couple of interesting designs. Two of them are stable at 50% duty cycle (adjustment easy, as it maintains 50% duty with all adjustment, though frequency somewhat narrow.), and one of the two can output the full max of the 555 IC, and vary from approx  2% to 98% duty cycle! (pretty cool, though a pain in the keaster to adjust.) 

The constant 50% is somewhat narrow band, (approx 30 khz to 70khz with my current setup), though it does provide output above and below the ranges listed they vary in duty cycle. There is something I missed in the design, and will try to correct this. It may be the general purpose NPN I used in the circuit.

I intend to make three stable testing Astable driving circuits, 1khz - 500khz (maybe 3mhz if I use LM555c cmos) before building a coil (prob based upon otto's design):

1. Short duty cycle, variable frequency.
2. Long duty cycle, variable frequency.
3. Constant 50% duty cycle, variable frequency.

I checked out the specs for the IRF840 you advised, liked the ratings, and have bought 10 of them off ebay to try them out. Thx for the heads-up.

@all

If anyone wants the 555 circuit schematics, let me know, and I can draw and post them. Right now, I have observed some truly WIERD effects on my scope through an air core 22ga magnet wire coil with one of my test circuits direct driving the coil. Waveforms like I have never seen before. Want to talk about Kicks? Want to talk about PURE RESONANT DC SINES, with a single pulsed DC input? WANT TO TALK ABOUT  (apparent not proven, though the sines were going below signal ground) MIXED A.C. AND D.C., with a single pulsed DC input??

Some of this I do not know yet what to think, but I am making the fleas jump off of my head with the heat generated. I think this effect might well be a missing link  to the TPU puzzle.
