Towards Realizing the TPU

3 milliwatts today ...perhaps a kilowatt tomorrow!

What is that small coil at around 2 o'clock on your last photo and what lamp type are you using. Is that a coil with a screw type central ferrite for tuning?

the little light is not a lamp, but an LED,  so Mannix got the right idea, it's milliwatts of power !!!, but hey, we can only work up from here, right?

yes to your second question, just a little extra inductance for tunning

I'll go closer to powrlines if all else fails but first I want to improve the tank circuits and I'm going to stranded wire since it has lower resistance at higher frequencies than DC.   Here come killowatts of power .... LOL

CAUTION:  Don't climb any power line towers to test your tpu's !!  LOL

There is a lot you can do with your current setup. Altering the number of turns or modifying the diradious of the coil would be a good starting point.

Does your TPU only work around this socket/wall or is it the same around other sockets?
Can the frequency of the receiver be tuned to light perhaps more than 1 LED?

Well done!

I think its becoming clearer how SM may have constructed his TPU. He talks about many short strands in parallel for high current, which I think is your resonator and many small short strands in series for high voltage, which I think is produced from a high efficiency DC / DC converter. Your resonator could probably be scaled up to produce higher current with a lot more parallel connected tuned loops. The power from these loops could then be used to power the converter. This would give the three seperate coil sets that SM talks about. There could be a clever interraction between the coils to enhance performance.

I feel a lot happier with this approach towards a solution than trying to magic up power from nothing which has been the theme of the various threads for far too long IMO! You have demonstrated that it is possible to induce power from your house wiring / overhead electricity lines and we know that power lines were in place where SM did the demonstrations, so things could to be falling into place.

On my way to the office, I stopped right under the HV lines with my ring, took it for a walk and nothing on the led.

Maybe my adjustable coil is not the right value. Do you know the mH of your small coil. I will take a photo tonight to show what I have made to compare. I put my LED on my power supply and it starts lighting at 1.5 volts. I guess the LED  is to high a value and I may need to find leds that light with much less juice.
