moto i would be most disappointed if this is the case, though you never know, you may be right. It is their choice either way to do that. If that works for them then great.

I think transformer gas is safe to use, but it will not solve the heating problems. The heat is internal, the reactions in an L,L circuit are almost without resistance. One problem we are having is none of us are schooled in L,L circuits and I approached this project with considerable fear to begin with. I don't think they made a convenient bail out. I think they melted a fair amount of copper very close to their unshielded faces. I can't say much on L,L except 2 inductors go 180 degrees out of phase and can produce positive feedback. They can resonate and amplify. Not even the engineers in this or any other group have a solid educational background in this. I hope noone is badly burnt and the world needs this so we must plod on. You can get fried by most of the projects on this site. Even if you quit to work on something else, be careful, under the right circumstances a car battery can stop your heart.

I used copper multi strand copper for the collector cores and my output looked promising, however even under the lightest loads the voltage fell from 84.02 volts to about 2 volts. I'm considering what was posted by Giantkiller, and others just now. I don't know about the turns ratio 65:23 but I think I might try to find insulated multistrand magnetic wire. If I can't find it I got some friends at Sun electric that might be able to make me some. Or maybe if I just re-wrap this thing. One thing seems for sure the output is from a section 90 degrees from the input. Right now I have 24 turns in each section. It would be good to look at the insulation anyway, got pretty warm. Good luck guys and don't give up.

raburgeson,
Was that Self Running? or were you pulsing it? I assume by your earlier post you were meaning that SM was wrong on the wiring? and Tao was correct?

Guys, I have rewound my TPU using TAO's diagram using a single collector coil for starters. I was testing this new configuration with my old RCA audio generator and got better results (higher output) but not anything spectactular. I am thinking that I need a better (adjustable) signal source so I am putting together a couple of 555 circuits to test with. I am wanting to get adjustable frequency and duty cycle so this is my goal with these.

Also, I had noticed with the new coil config the coils seem to be picking up some signals and my scope is showing a very small ringing signal in the coils. The frequency counter is telling me it is aroung the 5Khz area! Very strange yet interesting.


Current TPU construction info;

My TPU inner diameter is roughly 4.5", I used a PVC end cap (for a 4" pipe) as a form, I wrapped this with 16Ga lamp cord, about 12 turns layered (4 per x 3 layers) then used 18Ga solid core for the control coils (4 of these) spaced equally around the core, then wrapped more 16Ga lamp cord around the whole thing (about 28ft).

I have wired the control coils as in the Tesla patent using the generator wiring diagram for my initial tests. So far this has yielded better responses than my previous tests but I am needing that better signal source to futher my testing now.

Other testing ideas;

I am going to try using the outer coil for the antenna to the crstal receiver and see if this allows a signal regeneration.

Another ideas is to use the outter coil for part of a tank circuit for feed back to the control coils as well.

These are a few testing concepts I am going to follow up on and will let you all know what happens, I will post scope pix when I get these going.

Hi All,
it seems some people have deleted their
own accounts over here, especially Tao, CTGLABS and Marco,
who were the major posters in this thread.

So as they deleted their accounts,
unfortunately the forum software seems
to have deleted also their messages, which I was not aware
of...
But I have a backup from Friday, which I will soon try to
extract and see, if I can copy their messages into a new thread...
Also I have to see, how I can avoid this with other members.

For now I have set the forum this way, that you just can
edit your posting, but can NOT delete it...

But I have to see, if I a different solution to this problem...

I wonder why they deleted their accounts.
Tao, ctglabs and Marco, please let me know by private email,
if you did not delete it yourself.

The forum software is indeed still beta and this
thread is pretty long and big, so
it could also be some other glitches or bugs...
but until now it was very stable.

Thanks for understanding.

Regards, Stefan.(moderator)
