HIGH QUALITY TPU DVD Video Released from Jack Durban

[EMdevices]

The fact his device can't run inductive loads, if true, can be quite an important clue.  Is this a fact?

In a later video he has an inverter to get 60 Hz AC and he powers a TV, drill etc..    If his TPU outputs DC at 137 volts or whatever voltage,  I would expect it to power a DC motor.  If it does NOT,  then that tells me even more about the output characteristics.

Responses to multiple earlier questions and statements:

Piezo switches.... the taken name of piezoswitch is not what I meant. A company named Klixon used to make them. You pressed them and they made an audible click. As you released them they would click again. (Click On! .... Click Off!) Remeber that stupid TV commercial? They had a deformed bi-metallic disc. The piezo version used the sudden mechanical shift (from the click) to strike a piezo-electric element that created a spark. The same idea is used in pilot light and gas grill ignitors.

Tubes/Collectors.... Old tube type folks would tell you the 'collector ring' was a ring added to collect extra electrons that bounced off the plate/anode. It prevented early failure due to the unwanted extra energy and possible X-Ray radiation when overdriven.

AC/DC? Judging by the many texts about the TPU I would say the output is potential varying over time but not dropping below the zero point (as seen from the frame of the load). So, PC would be most correct.

Not able to run inductive loads?? This tells me there is very little, if any, capacitive reactance in the device. The inverter shown on the video looks very similar to those used in switchgear houses that had 110VDC battery control power systems. Could be just the fact that it was ugly... I'm not that sure after this many years.

was he using an OTS inverter?

A collection of high-quality still shots extracted from the video would be much smaller and easier to download.

If the available video capture equipment can do true "raw" capture with no compression, image averaging could be used to clean up the video "noise" (speckling, etc) from tape.  This could be done as follows.

1.  Find one or two second sections in the video that have closeup shots of the device with no camera motion.
2.  Capture these from tape as a set of raw image files, preferably in a format with many color bits like PNG or TIFF.  The key is avoiding any MPEG-like compression that many video capture devices normally do.
3.  Use some image processing program to average together these files, producing a single result file.  In free software, GIMP or ImageJ might support this.  Most of the improvement happens in the first few files, a 4 to 64 file run should be enough.
4.  Make the resulting uncompressed images available for download.

This same technique should also work on Testatika videos.

I must have missed that part of that video. I didn't pay that much attention. I assumed that he figured out the whole inductive load issue.
