The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[Grumpy]

Good to see that "understanding before building" hasn't completely been tossed out the window.

Try that.

Smart Ass.

"Building" is the keyword in your statement. 

Jumping from theory to theory, trying to figure it all out first, is futile.

What have you built? Really, what have you built? If I missed it, please point me in the direction to see your build and test results. I did not see your "Bob's version" either, so pardon my oversight. Post a link my friend and I'll gladly go check it out.

@All,

Don't dare utter the damn words "open source" to me.  Every damn one of you has "something" you ain't sharing with everyone else.  Don't blame you at all.  If people want results - let them go get them.  This ain't no free ride. 

Many of the things I do are with other's involved and we agree not to post blindly, if even to post at all.  I don't post PM messages either.  I have respect for people's privacy and code of ethics - that means things are held in confidence. 

To top it all off, I connect at 28k - no DSL or sat here.

No wonder you're so darn grumpy...


Partially finished 15" "TPU" coil. Final 360? wrap not shown, but was completed later, along with some resonance testing. Taken Dec, 2006.

I like the discussion on the TPUs seen in the videos, thanks Darren

Let's see:

TPU #1Ã, Ã,  Is indeed the first and simplest looking device.Ã, Ã,  Take a look at the pictures.

I agree, no 4-pole action necessarily, although we do see what appears to be 4 segments of wire.Ã, Ã,  This isÃ,  because tape was used to hold the wires down to the edge of the spool.

I believe the main wires that produce the effect are these two Top and Bottom loops of wire, in conjunction with the ferrite toroid on top.

P.S.Ã,   There is a trick that can help in seeing blury images a bit clear without the use of computer software.Ã,   All you have to do is squint a bit wile you view the image.Ã,   Try it.Ã,  Look at the photos and close your eye lids just a bit untill the eye lashes start to overlap and distort the view, and you will see that the images become more pleasant to look at and you might see things you never saw beforeÃ,

Hi EM.

It's interesting how different things may look for different individuals. For example, this is what I came up with in my analysis. In particular, there are two things I see differently:

1) The spool or movie reel. Here I see a sprocket with teeth. Think of a bike sprocket, but with more solid centre.

2) The white wire loops. This I see as Steven's second favorite construction material; white silicone. Zoom in on that one spot you labled "tape". To me it looks like a sprocket tooth, and the silicone was used to "smooth out" the jagged teeth to avoid injury when handling the device.

Remember that Steven said it was "put together with bailing wire". It certainly looks like it was thrown together with what ever he had at hand at the moment. I hope folks realize by now that SM didn't use actual bailing wire in the build 

Thanks for the tip EM, and the images.
