TPU - General Discussion

[EMdevices]

I remember when it was mentioned that when a running tpu was put in a bath of water it was a complete disaster becauseÃ,  in the air some give to the vibration is allowed and the water did not allow it.

a very interesting discussion here.

Another wonderful confirmation for the magnetostrictive/vibrational mode of operation.Ã,  Thanks Mannix.Ã, Ã,  So, the device must be allowed to VIBRATE "freely", and I say "freely" because the only damping on the vibration must be due only to the output power being generated (induction produces a retarding force on the moving object/magnet).

I was gone for a few days, but this week I'm starting to implement the LINEAR concept I presented.Ã,  Ã,  While I was gone I've been thinking,Ã,  what if TESLA'sÃ, power source ( the box that had rods inserted) functioned simular to this linear concept?Ã, 

@BEP, I'll be right behind you in those experiments.Ã,  Good thinking in the design.Ã, Ã,  Using multiple thin Iron wires in a bundle will keep down the eddy current losses and the HEAT.Ã,  The low 1 Hz resonance is amazing. I was getting 120 Hz, but I deduced it was comming from the grid through my transformer (overloaded)Ã,  :)Ã, Ã,  I need to start using batteries.

Might try reading through this wiki page, I find the ribbon tweeter an interesting read, plus
  all of the other unusual speaker types, some of these I have never heard of before

The point is everything - down to the particle level IS rotation.

Yup.

and the spins stay where you put them until something changes them.  Amazing. 

Kinda funny that it moves along with us at like 70K MPH...

is there anybody getting positive results or am i the only one seeing intresting things?

According to my cigarette smoke I had some slow rotation just before bedtime. Gotta work ya know

So you would place a solenoid where Naudin has his pickup coils?

Yes. The axis of the coil will be the axis of the funnels. Actually you could think of it as an SM style collector with multiple turns along the axis. I haven't decided if I should put the bias in a bifilar winding or in the solenoid coil directly.

I'll do a sketch in the morning for the coil. I'm alright with ACAD but stumble on MS Paint.

Basically it is a rope wound coil like you find on CRT necks except it is folded into a C pattern. This way you don't need to alternate polarity or worry about flyback misdirecting current or inducing into the secondary. Apply a pulse - the entire inside is North. Remove the pulse - North inside subsides to South while the sides spike as North. So either applying or removing current either squeezes the hose or pushes the current away from that point.
The C will lie on its back with the bottom facing inward. The bottom will be used to promote rotation in the center and the inside and sides will squeeze the hose.

I have one at each quadrant and I am currently sequencing them with an lpt port interface. Hitting them with the BCD equivilant of 1000,0100,0010,0001 repeat. 0=negative pulse - 1=positive pulse. This way all four coils are always on. The top and bottom ring are reverse of each other so this same sequence would creat CW in one and CCW in the other.

I don't expect to get nice straight funnels or the lens effect with this. It is only a functional experiment.
