Towards Realizing the TPU

[poynt99]

This ?thread? is about gaining an understanding of a given body of information and aims to develop from it a working conceptual design of the TPU in line with how Steven Mark originally conceived of and built his units.

Some may see the value in this approach, but many will scoff at the apparent absence of real bench work. To them I will only say; get over it or move along. Bench tests and verifications may be performed with this development as required (and possible) along the way.

Although the material indirectly supplied by SM is voluminous, very little of it is useable as a means to solving the TPU mystery. What can be used of it and other incidental sources will be, but the primary inspiration for this development is the material posted by Spherics at the overunity forum: http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,4297.0.html

The Spherics material can not be validated as authentic and true, but to date in my view it represents the most lucid description of how SM's TPU?s might work, and provides actual hardware descriptions which can be tested. Far from perfect and most likely incomplete, but it is the best starting point ever presented on the web. Sadly, Spherics focuses mainly on an improved model and exotic physics explanations without making much reference to how the original SM designs (in terms of hardware) fit into this picture.

This thread will mainly focus on reverse engineering the nuts and bolts of Spherics' material in an attempt to unravel the SM designs, but will inevitably cover aspects of the Spherics design as well. There will be occasion to scrutinize the theory Spherics put forth, with simplified or modified alternatives proposed.

Consider this a work in progress. New material and/or edits will be added as time and insights permit. It?s also not polished, nor error-free.



Thanks for the positive feedback guys!

I hope the minimum to come of this contribution will be to spark a few folks into thinking about this device in the context that it IS DOABLE. Optimistically, it will come close to establishing a sensible and practical framework for which to springboard off in the pursuit of cracking the TPU mystery. Ideally, the final revision of the document will contain all that is needed in terms of practical information to achieve a working build of any one of SM's TPU devices as well as the Spherics design as given.

Here is revision v1.2 (already posted): http://www.overunity.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item110
All document revisions after v1.2 will be posted in this thread.
