Successful TPU-ECD replication !

@Lindsay
Thanks for pointing us to the correct direction and your selective words of wisdom certainly came at the right time.

@darren
Well, you certainly are a meticulous person and we need your analytical type here. However, sometimes a little more faith in alternative reasoning wouldn't hurt!

I am so glad to be learning a lot of stuff from all,  'warts and all'! Thanks Lindsay.

Yes I had considered simulating this beast, and once I began thinking how exactly to model the ES coupling, I realized there is none, or very little.

That's when I noticed the mobius loops were not serving any purpose at all, other than providing a nice radiating element for the HF/RF. (Gee no wonder you guys were cooking yourselves ) Oh, and btw, SM never mentioned any safety concerns regarding radiation, and his device does not apparently radiate much at all, in fact it is very sensitive to external EM interference.

It would be interesting to sim the circuit however without the mobius loop (couldn't sim with it anyway), and see if I can get similar waveforms Otto and Roberto got.

In theory, and if I am correct, removing the mobius loop should have little to no effect on the output power or the waveforms. However, I've been wrong before.

Well Darren, your prediction appears to be correct. Mobius removed and it performs the same, if not a little bit better. See? No bias.. I reported what happened.

So, now the thing is, nobody has yet to test, between Jason and Cam the third frequency on thier setup so maybe the magic happens there.

Otto did say he lit multiple bulbs to full brightness at the same input. Variable load, same input.

So, Ronotte, Otto, I urge you to perform this test as well. Very revealing.

Mr. Mannix. ?

Or if we have failed to see something, please let us know how we should continue, or what we're missing.

By the way this is not to take the wind out of any sails. I still think the setup is interesting and should be tested fully.

Regards,
Rich.

Chris,

If you want to make bread, first you have to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Do as Darren said to remove the mobius coil. The result is more interesting and important. It is more significant than setting up the web cam. Though Otto said the mobius coil is needed, but no data describing the result. It could be:
(1) No output at all.
(2) 10% as previous maximum output or ? %.
(3) decrease at first, but adjust something could bring it back to previous maximum output.
Which one 1 or 2 or 3 ?

30 Seconds can get the answer, why not the ECD owner try it?

Thanks for the confirmation Rich.

Whose rig was this tested on?
