Successful TPU-ECD replication !

[EMdevices]

Rich, that's so awesome, a flying disk made of aluminum with some coils.Ã,  WOW !!!

What could be in the center object?Ã,  florescent starter or battery enclosure with some electronics? (blocking oscillator maybe?)Ã, 

It sounds like a "runaway" TPU, it was hot and shooting some fire out, after it landed it caught the grass on fire maybe and smoke came out.Ã,  Hmmmm, very interesting.

Oops! that sounds like the one that got away from me two weeks from now

about 20 years ago I experimented with an aluminum plate and 4 coils attached to it's four corners on one side only.Ã,  I plugged the thing in the AC outlet.Ã,  Ã,  It hummed but did not lift up.Ã,  The theory was that at certain angles between the aluminum plate and the coils, the plate which repels itself due to eddy currents, would also take the coils with it somehow (disconect between the coil and the magnetic field? who knows).Ã,   However, it never worked, but if the coils were detached from the plate, the plate would repel upward quite strongly and would drift to the side and fall.Ã, Ã,  Almost like those ring demonstrations in a physics class.

In the FBI report we seem to have a description of exactly what I was trying to do.Ã,  I think the missing ingredient here is the round (disc)Ã,  feature and perhaps a ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD.Ã,  I was laking the electrical phasing between coils, that's for sure, else it might have flown even with a square plate.

This has to be a TPU like device, since what's in the center of the device would be two small to power it up so strongly.Ã,  What can a 1 inch by two inch cylinder contain, a CAPACITOR?

Wouldn't it be interesting if members of this forum - and others- were the actual reason for the flying saucer stories?
Hmmm.... Maybe that part of history didn't exist until we started mucking around now.
Most of the descriptions sound like TPUs being built by hobbyists in their garage. A circular saw blade?
On second thought maybe I better try one.

EVERYBODY DUCK!
