TPU - General Discussion

Very nice drawing. But there is one problem. With the higher rez video, it is no evident there is no leg on the right side. The OTPU is standing on three points. Leg to the left of output, leg to the back of output and circuit board to the right of output. I was very surprised when I realized this but maybe forgot to mention it.

In the photo below you can see him holding the OTPU right where the right leg should be but  his fingers are flat. This image is from the video entitled VTS_01_2.VOB at frame 11126.

Nice drawing Poynt,

My best guess:

OTPU -> 3 kickcoils, 3 iron delay coils -> iron is a bitch in the tpu, so shield them in the feet...vertical, so the RMF has the least influence.....

I bet the collector wire was glued to the underside of the plastic rings.....

Greetings Spider.

LOL

either i don't understand what you're saying, or you didn't understand what i said. i think you are saying the same thing i said above.

to summarize what i said: there are 3 wood legs, but i only show 2 in the drawing (left and right as you put it). the back leg i do not show because i don't think there is a kick coil there. i do think there is a transformer or something taped there alright, but i'm not sure if there's a core in the back leg. it is possible that the back leg has a kick coil too, but it doesn't seem to have a magnet with it.

there are a few possibilities, but mainly i wanted to point out the kick (control)  coils, the collector coil (and their relationship to one another), and the core/magnet inside the kick coils. the core (or iron wire layer) is what gives the activation magnets something to attract to.

Sorry for making it unclear. Then let me summarize what I am trying to convey here. On the OTPU there is only two wooden legs, not three. There is one to the left of the output, there is one to the back of the output. So the left magnet is on a leg but the right magnet placement has no leg there at all. The third support is the circuit board itself, not a leg. We could not see this in the old videos.

Also, just to mention, you do not need any mechanism at all to get the kick or feel the gyration. Just pulse any old coil with dc. Feel the coil. It does not gyrate. Now place a magnet next to it. You will now feel it gyrate. This is not a kick or anything else. This is basically a subset effect of a pulsed coil near a magnet. No big deal. Speakers do it all the time. lol

i disagree, i think there is a leg there.

i have not seen a good picture of that side (none exists) so it is impossible to say for sure if there is one or not. i do know for sure that there is a wood block at the place in question in between the two rings just like the left side, and i have to assume there is symmetry in this device. it makes sense and it is simple logic. there is a pcb there too, but it's too hard to say exactly where it is in relation to the magnet above. i assume the pcb is shorter than the legs and it more or less hangs there in place. it doesn't make sense to use the pcb as a leg because it would be quite difficult to keep stable for one thing, and i don't think SM would want to risk disaster by it flopping to one side causing shorts etc.
