Complete information on working SM style device.

[Bruce_TPU]

Hello All,
It is encouraging to see some planning and build preparation going on.  Hats off to Tao and Rosphere and others working on the tetrahedron, while Kames, Eldarion, myself and others work on the "early bailing wire" TPU.

Here is a picture to assist the build of those working on what I will call the Early TPU or ETPU.  Feel free to make any corrections to the picture if you find an error.  In my mind there is only one unknown and I have marked that on the diagram.  Sorry there is no fancy 3D here.  I will leave that to Dr. Snoswell and others more gifted at that than I.   

@ Eldarion
Time to awake "THOR" my friend.  I knew that controller would see the light of day again!!  LOL   

Cheers all,

Bruce

Take a look at this page:

This is a helix around electron beam (helix around core under voltage). It's not the same thing as iron wire helix with air core discussed here. The air core does not have an "electron beam" to which the signal in the helix may add energy.

  I believe I described the same principle you describe with the electron beam modulator but instead of a beam I used the term potential energy distribution in the electron cloud of the conductor.  The pulse energy more or less tracing out the conductors electron dynamics.  The electron dynamics being a result of imposed waves.  The pulse energy is therefore modulated according to the waves interacting with the electron cloud created by the conductor valence shell electrons.  The pulse  propogates at near the speed of light through the electron cloud but is modulated by the state of the electron cloud.
   The iron reluctance of SM's timing circuit is altering the drift electron's inertial state before the pulse is initiated.  It is responding to ambient magnetic fields and in so doing is creating a voltage.
When the pulse is applied to the parallel circuit the electron cloud configurations (within the two conductors)  will have different inertial responses to the same imposed potential.  The potential energy pulse's magnetic field  propogation will therefore be altered significantly due to the anomaly between the electron cloud dynamics,  within the two parallel circuits.
   
    Edit:   Spheric's design seemingly does not need the differential response as described above, because he stated the comp field response is outside of the solenoids copper.  It is SM's design that needs the timing because his collector is within the solenoid fields.  The ambient potential fields energy wave needs to be received by the surface area of the solenoid coils not it's volume. The electron cloud I mentioned above is the reason for the skin effect in ac circuits.  I am thinking that the solenoid windings should be of flat webbed copper cable as would  be found on grounding conductors used on automobile frames to increase the surface area of the "antennae to mass ratio.

@aleks and sparks

The electron beam (or electron cloud as described by sparks) is used in the TWIT for modulation and amplification.  But I believe this is completely separate from the slow-wave phenomenon.  That is caused entirely by the geometry of the helix.

However, I do agree with sparks' analysis.  Is an electron beam in a (partial) vacuum any different from a electron current in a wire, other than the resistivity of the different mediums?  Could this be the reason for the dc bias, I wonder.
