Steven Mark`s TPU

[Gustav22]

@all

Hi,

I am also looking forward to everybody's work on the idea EM has put forward.
Hopefully this can be done in a new thread named accordingly.

In fact this thread here should be re-named to
"Steven Mark`s 3stack TPU"
as this is what it was intended for by Otto.
Otto, you can rename this thread by editing your first posting in this thread and rename the title.

However,
over the weekend I had finally got a chance to test the three different 3stack units I had made.
They are all 5" units, i.e. the diameter of each collector-ring is 5" (ca. 400 mm circumference)
The tests were far from exhaustive as there is never enough time for such things and we also only realized very late, that there was a problem with the power supply for one of the three oscillators.

The main results we found were:
A 3stack as posted here
http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3660.msg62585.html#msg62585
can be made without problems and if all CCs go round all the way and have an equal number of turns, a very high rate of power conversion (90?-excitation) can be achieved.

We used Ronotte's standard freqquencies for 5"-units which are
15 kHz, 30 kHz and 105 kHz

My 'unit nr.2' which was made like this showed a very similar behavior as Ronotte's TPU10-7. That is to say we were able to achieve the 3sister output signal and very good light output.
The CCs have to be tuned to resonance with appropriate caps.
The difference to Ronotte's TPU10-7 was mainly that my 'unit nr.2' absorbed probably a bit less current at a given input voltage (we used max. 50 V DC) but also gave slightly less light output.
We had no time and means to try with higher voltage.

Another main find was, that my 'unit nr. 3' which had kind of interleaved CCs did not work well. It absorbed practically no power but also gave practically no light output.
The way of winding which I used for this unit (which I had high hopes in) has so far been proven worthless.

The specs of the three units - for those interested - are logged here:

(this forum is not meant for discussion. I just use it for logging some stuff)

I hope Ronotte will publish a good push-pull driver for very short excitation pulses in due time.
I know he is working on this very hard.
That, together with a proper way to feed the high output voltage back to the input side should be able to give us what we seek.

@EM

On page 27 your post #402 was edited and simply says "Edit - See next post" which is post #403 done by me. Since the source of all this miss content was not formally identified, I guess I am the cause of all this fuss and I will gladly step out and leave you guys to work this out. I am sorry if there was something in the post that was not suitable. I don't get it, but sorry anyways. I may not be the brightest light on the grid, but I am not afraid of taking some flyback. So, I would rather pull out and have you stick around if that is what it takes.

@Roberto

I was going to say the same thing but you know that we try to keep the pages well oiled so the book does not rust away. All the best.

Blah...blah...blah...buncha hot air til someone can show everyone how to make even a small unit.  Buncha BS.

BFG2k8...
I am going there while instituting all that has been talked about. Nothing new.

BFG2k8... No moving parts, very high spikes. 16v in , 200v out. EM fields reach the center. Resonance @ 24k
