Who invented the names SM13 to SM17 and were there any schematics posted ?
Where ?

I came up with SM3, SM6, & SM17. I posted these purely as monikers so to concisely identify what every one was talking about. After all, these are the focus of the ongoing conversations. A level playing field is needed. Simple and unique. That is, if everybody agrees. SM made them and didn't even call them anything. Since the 3 devices have differences they need to be called different. Unless anybody disagrees. Do we need a voting contest, wait for SM to stand up to the microphone? I didn't see the need for complications. The next goal is to get the devices into the free world. I apologize if I didn't ask. I tend to move fast past the unnecessary. The initials do pay tribute to the man and the numbers to the devices though.
Sorry.

Tao told me about his finds at craft stores in his search for air core materials. So I went and found numerous types of toroids and took pix.
I am concerned though about fire hazard. Styrofoam gases and smoke can kill. Very unpleasant.
There are 6" 8" 9" 12" 16", styrofoam, floral green foam, cardboard, press board. All very inexpensive. US 5.00 and lower.
There is also painted magnet wire. Looks like steel though.

Hi giantkiller,
why the addition 3 , 6 and 17 ?
Where does it come from?

Why not SM100, SM300 and SM1000
for the Wattage output ?

Hi all

JDO 300

Here is a description what I have done:
Everybody here is speaking about kicks and so I tried to get this kicks. First I took a 110 V relay (big coil?) and  conected and disconnected very fast 12 V DC to this coil to see if there would be some kicks. I saw nothing!!
Then I took a electromagnet 220V  from a water valve and again I pulsed tihs electromagnet with 12 VDC. Now I saw on my cheap meter very big kicks over 1000V. Ok I know that my meter is lying (I think so). I realised that I see this kicks when I FIRST touch the coil with the +. For myself this are the kicks we are surching for so I started to build my TPU.
1. I made a donat form from my cork plates. Outer diameter 6˝ (15,2cm), inner diameter 5˝(12,7cm), height 1 3/4˝(4,4cm).

Collector coils (horizontal)

2. From a coax cable I took only the fine litz wire and made a round coil. In one cable I had 95 wires and so I took for one coil 8 pieces of coax cable times 95 wires and so I have for one ring 760 wires.
3. Now I took one cork donat and on this cork comes a coil and then 3 cork donuts and the second coil and again 3 cork rings and then the third coil and then only 1 donat cork ring. In this way i have the height of my unit.
4. I tried this thing with all the 3 rings open or closed (the ends soldered together) but I dont see any changes so I decited to run this collector coils in series.

Control coil(s) (vertical)

1. The control coil (one coil in this moment) has 700-800 turns of 0,56 mm vertically wound over the collector coil.

This was the hardware and now the software:

I have a function generator with a sinewave, squarewave and triangle output with 5V dc output up to 100kHz (of corse self made). On this generator I can vary the frequency from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. The otput is connected to a transistor BDX33. The collector is connected to one end of the control coil and on the other end of the control coil is connected to +12 VDV. The minus of the 12VDC is connected to the generators output and to the transistors emiter. It is very important to figure out on witch end of the collector coil to connect the function generator and on the other end of the coil the +12 VDC(nonsence??) because if you conect it wrong you would have a big NOTHING!!! or at least lower kicks.
Now the collector coil: one end of the 1. coil (ring) is connected to a diode (with this diode i have bigger kicks)and then to a bridge rectifier (~). The other end of the 3. coil is connected to the bridge rectifier (~) but this end is also connected to a 2 or 4 uF capacitor and the other end of the cap is connected to the minus.
On the + and - side of the rectifier is my multimeter.
At resonance ( biggest voltage, lowest current) with this setup i have on the meter 45-50 VDC and 80VAC.
Now, if I connect the collector of the transistor (pulsed DC) to the bridge rectifier (~) i have 320VAC kicks.
When I held my hand NEAR the multimeter the kicks jumps to 400-500 VAC. When I turn the multimeter from north to say east I have different voltages. When I turn the multimeter from the horizontal position to vertical I have again other voltages on my meter. I forgot to say that the frequency is around 70-80 kHz (I think).
For this moment I have no scope but I will soon buy one. In this kicks is no current or very little so we can not speak about any power but for me it is interresting how this thing works. I have no compass so i dont know if there is an rotating magnetic field. My next stepp will be to wind a second control coil and pulse this coil with another frequency. I think there will be some nice things to see.
