TPU - General Discussion

[tao]

In one of the videos of the large TPU he flicked a switch saying this is frequency one, flicked the another switch, saying this is frequency two but he never put a magnet to the center coils. Could be that he had internal batteries (we already know how many is possible hehehe) but put center coils to show a start up as non battery, but he forgot to use his magnets on that video. Weird. He forgot to do the magnet show.

He already stated openly that he did use a battery to stabilize and initialize the oscillations and that is was UEC that wanted a 'pure' device that used only a magnet to start up. Not a lot of batteries and certainly not enough batteries to power any of his demonstrated loads, but a battery merely to operate and start the conversion process and to act as the starting dipole...

For the sake of clarification it will be helpful to be provided:

Stage 1: Just build it.

- coil1 & coil2 terns ?, coil1 & coil2 AWG ?, coil1 & coil2 diameter?,  coil1 & coil2  mH ? stranded ? ( as you can see there are many variables )

Stage 2: pulse it incorrectly and blow shit up. Quantifiable results!

- I assume that you have blown something up and this will mean that you can either charge a HV capacitor ( Leyden jar ) or do something more useful with this MOMENT energy,  maybe blowing up a capacitor will be nice

Stage 3: pulse it correctly & coordinate the driving configuration.

- It would be good to have at least the ratio between f_incorrect/f_correct if not the frequency ...

Stage 3: feedback to recouple the power.

- A simple schematics will be, at least, educational ...

Sorry if this info has been provided before .... I have not encountered it ...

@all

As Tesla said: " ... it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature "

Lets make this time shorter by, at least,  being precise ...

@ Grumpy

Ring modulator

EDIT: also called a "ring mixer"

EDIT-2: like this - see attached

It is interesting ... today I was looking at this type of schematics too ...

@Guys,

Check this page, mainly the second paragraph. Do I read this right.

Added later:
Found this image and could not resist.
Incredible the skill involved in crafting these tubes.

tube sites I find useful - for a tube newbie like me

http://www.angelfire.com/planet/funwithtransistors/Book_CHAP-4B.html ( interesting: The Principle of Heterodyning =  mixing in radio receivers )
"The converter contains an oscillator which is a locally generated signal that combines with the received frequency to generate the difference signal. The converter also does the job of mixing the local oscillator with the incoming signal."

"The RF Amplifier has a tuned circuit in its input and another in its output. It increases the level of the wanted incoming signal, reduces the level of the ones that are not wanted and helps to prevent the local oscillator from being radiated by the antenna" ... what about - increases the level of the wanted incoming signal AND INCREASES the level of the one that are not wanted ( in our case WE WANT the big output ) signal ...  "Automatic gain control can be, and is, applied to the amplifying device here."

Is it possible that SM used the tubes to perform frequency division/multiplication via mixing in his first steps of Engineering the TPU ... and what about amplitude modulation ... just thinking aloud ...
