The TPU uncovered? (A PROBABLE technique.)

The only rockets I have designed were in high school. They didn't fly very well. (Does that count?)

Probably would have worked better using a proper winding on a TPU. (A nagging itch in my brain.)

OK, so there's ONE rocket scientist here... I had my best luck with kites, about like Charlie Brown.

I was re-reading some posts, and found I completely missed your question on the rotating field. I truly am sorry.

I looked at the AVI you linked to, and yes, this is somewhat my conception of the rotating field. It is not exact, as the actual field would start at energization of a control coil with its necessary pulse. The field would grow during the pulse cycle, then start to collapse at its end. The next coil would start to energize just as the previous field starts to collapse, and the two N/S N/S fields would mesh temporarily, and seem to "slide" from the first coil to the second, and so on. This prevents the field from "flipping" polarity upon collapse.

Your demonstrative movie does show the basic idea though, however, in that the field remains oriented throughout the completion of each rotation around the circuit.

@all

I am getting "idea logged" (water-logging of the brain), so sorry if I haven't responded timely, or have missed a post.

I though of another thing to try, and this is weird. My big "Claw" TPU has three separate collectors independent of and insulated from each other. I thought last night to try the ground lead thing with the LEDS connected on their own collector, with the scope probe hooked to its own independent collector.

Guess what.... with the ground hooked up, the LEDS lit up. With the scope ground disconnected, they went out. WHICH LITERALLY MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE EITHER! The probe is insulated FROM the LED circuits, so could NOT have provided direct power!!!! What the HECK?

Paul scratches his head, and starts to groan.. Fleas vacate the premesis, due to environmental heating, news at eleven.

@BEP

Definitely a heretic by current scientific standards. I thunk, therefore I is.

@Paul,

No problem. I like making these little ani's to visualize my own thougths.
