It has been over a year (I think), since I retired from the TPU research. I started hitting dead end after dead end, yet the results of various experiments were promising enough to keep me going. I instinctively knew that Tesla tied into the matter (not surprising really), but I could not quite figure out how..... I had to clear my head and take a break.
Only SM knows for sure, but I wonder of the TPU was an accident..... I am not joking. Say you are looking at a patent for a Tesla device employing a rotational field toroidal transformer, but in replication you try to use copper wires instead of soft iron wires?
More guesses than facts circulate around the device (of which I was as guilty as anyone). Prejudices based upon pet hypothesis and following theory make for a nasty mix. They cloud your judgement and wreck your ability for emotionally detached logical thought and evaluation. After my head cleared..... I started over, tossing out most every assumption I had previously held, or had been told by others. I re-read all of SM's posts carefully to see exactly what HE said and meant, not what interpretations I or anyone else placed upon his words.
I found that he was actually quite clear, and that someone else was occasionally posing as him. (People have a distinct writing style, grammar, word usage etc.... like a written fingerprint.) Some matched, others were 180 degrees out of phase so to speak.
facts:
SM stated plainly that the fields were rotating, and that the rotation was necessary to the operation
SM stated there was a kick, then specifically pointed out the inrush current from the book he cited as the stated "kick"
SM pointed out TAO had the overall key (And he does I believe, through the winding pattern he developed and through his initial
presentation of his thoughts about Tesla.)
NOWHERE did SM agree with the statement TAO made about Tesla's wireless transmission of power tech being involved. THAT was assumed.
SM stated that the unit worked by making as many kicks (inrush current) as possible as fast as possible.
Out of nowhere an EE posts an anonymous letter to Mannix. To which SM (the real SM by writing style) agrees almost whole heartedly with every deduction the man makes, then points out several 'points of interest'.
What was a point of interest to me was that from the style of writing, I think SM himself may well be the hypothetical myterious EE as well.
After watching ALL the movies again, slowly, pausing and rewinding and paying as close an examination as possible.
I noticed a few interesting things off of the good quality vid I received from JDO300 way back..... exactly two sets of matched components in the center of the large TPU. Two large black caps with resistors in parallel on the inside periphery of the coil (very clear, I could almost ready the values) and in the very center two matching inductance coils with two matching caps close by......
I wondered why he would need two pairs each of matched RC and LC tanks, then it hit me. More than one signal out of one input signal....
Q: How can you make AC out of DC?
A: Charge a capacitor in series with an inductance, then open the switch and shut the power off. The capacitor will discharge through the inductor to equalize charge across its plates as soon as the forward voltage either reverses (AC)... or ceases (DC). The pair will resonate at a frequency governed by the values of the given components.
A nagging suspicion ate at me for awhile, then I loaded up the Tesla patent again, and examined the diagram closely, tracing the wires through the circuit on the transformer, then back to the generator in the circuit, asking the question "exactly what is the ELECTRICITY doing when this generator rotates through a cycle", not merely what the current was doing. I wanted to examine both current and voltage together.
My jaw hit the floor. The device in the patent is a rotating field transformer. Four coils make and rotate the field, and the outer coils 'generate the juice' so to speak.
Now, understand that the picture in the patent is only CLOSE to a TPU, but it is NOT the TPU.... (I will explain why, please be patient with me at this point.)
Why two different type matching sets of resonance devices?
VOLTAGE PHASING.... 90 degree voltage phasing to be exact as the tesla patent demonstrated, using a single CLEAN dc square wave signal. I was actually right about one thing, go figure. Transistors are a really noisy device that tend to amplify any abnormalities in the applied signal. The signal HAS to be as free of parasitic AC signals as possible, that is why tube rectifiers REALLY are easier as SM said.
Tesla didn't need caps, as he treated every inductor as it should be treated, as a resonant device. Capacitance can be made by wire placement and spacing relationships. An EE views resonance as either a phase relationship, or as a purely mechanical function. Telsa's concept of resonance was a little different, incorporating the 1/4 wave relationship between the propagating wave and its voltage. The classic case of two people referencing the same term, but using differing definitions. Tesla desired a relationship where the voltage was highest possible at one end of the wire coupled with an overall Z (impedance) as close to zero as possible allowing maximum current to flow.... When this condition is achieved, you see a LOT of energy available in the circuit.
Voltage, remember, is not energy. Neither is current. BOTH must be in motion for a state of usable electrical energy to exist. We have all seen the resonant phantom signal pushing hundreds of volts, yet would not light a fart, let alone a light bulb. The current was out of phase with the voltage, therefore little or no usable energy.
Tesla didn't need caps, but I DO.... and so did SM. you have four coils, one DC square wave signal at a given desired frequency, how do you rotate the field? Hint 90 180 270 360... you phase each of the voltages 90 degrees further from zero as the previous coil, using equal reactance components to achieve resonance at the input frequency, into a wire wound into a coil, the length of each wire being 1/4 wavelwength long..........
Anyone see what I see?
By the way..... you can generate juice using the "A" field in a toroidal unit.......... doesn't have to be magnetism doing the work you know, that is assumed. Interesting how coils 90 degrees out from each other can induce voltage and current in each other. (Collector to control amplification.)
I don't know enough about the "A" field to speak much about it. If someone is an expert, please give us all a heads up.
