TPU - General Discussion

Just re-watched the 38 minute U.E.C video and noticed a couple of interesting things:

SM mentions toward the end that TPU's have been tested to 15k feet in airplanes and still functioned, but with some "slight voltage variation", and after this he mentions that TPU's are "frequency sensitive".

Earlier, when SM is demonstrating the large ring, he flips a switch to turn on the first frequency and then another for the second frequency.  He does not mention a third frequency.

The most interesting thing is that SM does not apply a magnet or other device to start the TPU's, except for the switches on the large one.  It's like they immediately operate once a load is applied to close the circuit.  Only the large TPU has the familiar electrical components in the center, the medium one has a box-like appendage on one side and the small one appears to have nothing like this.  SM says that the power comes from inside the devices and that they are not recieving or coupling power from another sourse, but if the source were "passive" and not known or understood then there could be a source.

Could it be that the devices are "tuned" to some sort of ambiant source of energy, of a "universal" nature?  Like a tuning fork that starts vibrating in the presence of another of the same frequency.  Tesla mentioned "kinetic energy" throughout the universe which he referred to as the "wheelwork of nature".

Not throwing a fit by deleting my posts. Just cleaning house. I'll start my own thread for my build when ready and after I have the ability to lock it while I'm posting the information. The things I had posted were too specific to my opinions and results.

@EM

The reason I coudn't measure the MS was because my mechanical gauges are not accurate enough to register it even though I could feel the vibration and extention. Like Earl keeps saying - it isn't the amplitude that is important it is the speed.

He does not directly mention a third frequency.

One could also assume that switch 1 turns on a carrier frequency.  Switch 2 turns on a modulating oscillator (F2).  Now the carrier is, for example, amplitude modulated.  This automatically gives the following frequencies:
Carrier frequency
carrier plus F2
carrier minus F2

Now we have the famous 3 frequencies, created by using only 2.

Further, we could theorize that F2 is derived from F1 by means of frequency dividers or maybe simple injection locking.  In other words there is an exact integer relationship between the two frequencies like 1:2 or 1:3 or 1:4 or 1:5 or 1:X.  Maybe this relationship is the famous "harmonic perfection"?
Should the modulation not be AM, but 2-phase - - this could be achieved by flipping the phase 180 degrees, which is not difficult to do.

In closing, I would like to say that although MAC CD's posts are more difficult to read, he has a keen analysis and I found his last post to be very intriguing.  The openTPU must be very simple.

Unless we object, I would encourage you gentleman to each start a new thread for the open TPU and the magnetostriction ideas.

This is only a suggestion, but it would keep the focus on each work respectively, instead of having one thread alternate between two major themes. You would then also have full control over your updated documents available on your first post.

btw wattsup, nice work again Are you sure you see two vertical coils there on the legs? I always assumed there might be coils there, perhaps inside the legs, but I could not see any on the outside myself.

Cheers,
