COAX TPU...

Very true. 

So all attempts at confirming/falsifying the possibilities should end for now. After all, none of the information provided to-date has allowed the completion of a working TPU.

There is a lot of very good and interesting information here.  Unfortunately people worked on it for a little while and then lost interest.   Some went on to other things, some left entirely.  They may have been very close and didn't know it.  There are some people here that appear to just hang around like it is a bar, posting endlessly fleeting ideas.  Others just argue about everything.

hi all,

re the torus with the reverse windings.

I remembered, that the thing could output dc.
Its was experimented on long ago and It was tricky to set up.
an iron rod (no specifics) had 2 bifilar windings identical size and equidistant from each end. windings labeled as a1 a2, b1 b2,( first coil), c1 c2, d1 d2,(second coil). connect a2 to c1   then  b2 to d2.  use a1 and c2 as the input   and b1 and d1 as the output. it was then tested by inputting a sweep frequency 1hz to 1mhz very slowly. Cannot remember the power level or if the core actually was saturated. at a point the thing gave a dc output not ou but an output.
reasons for this were to do with the time the electrons travel into the windings and the rate of buildup of flux in the coils. this being finite an imbalance occured in the windings allowing dc out. this experiment probably colers' from the 1920's ish may have something to do with it as there was a way not mentioned to increase the current output to match the input. maybe the torus has a property of lossless power conversion???
something to chew on,
Steve.

There is yet another possibility: saturable core transformer and transistor oscillator

Make nice square waves.  They are called magnetic-transistor pulse generators.  They can be controlled by temperature with a thermistor.  Looking at teh references, this sort of thing gained popularity in the 50's and 60's.  This paper is from 1961. The paper even recommends 79 permalloy. Could Steven have wound his own cores?

Is there an English translation?  This computer I'm borrowing doesn't have the Japanese language plug-in software module(s).

high everyone 

is COAX mainly used as antenna?

hmmmm.

i really love wires they're soooo delicious hmmmmmm
