Here is some interesting information if not known already. I can see how this concept could possibly be modified to produce usable energy.

 makes me believe this could possibly work.

Yup.

      Yes and No
      I put up my progress so far on my website you will find in my signature.

     I researched granite and yes it has some radioactive elements.  Like I said before I know very little about geology.  I just want to use a substance that will absorb uncontrolled energy input.  ABSORB being the key word.  Granite seems to be a pretty much circus of crystals and impurities.  Maybe someone else knows of a better absorber insulator to use and will post here.
By seperating the driver current from the energy collector current I assure you that there will be next to nothing for RF emisision from the driver.

             Thankyou for the links.  The device that used a magnetic shell to circulate ions for study was very interesting.  The paper on the Earth's heartbeat was also interesting in light of the fact that the magnetic field strength of the Earth is also diminishing.  Could be the iron core circulation under our feet is going to start sloshing the other way pretty soon.  I think it may be due to the way and the what of energy riding the magnetoshphere train to the center of the Earth just like my theory that the same thing happens with the TPU.

    Not much progress today but pricing and finding a fabricator for the driver ring.  Whew, has anybody priced good quality copper nowadays?  I have stocked-up 350 pounds of copper wire from burnt out electric motor windings.  I'm going to cash this in at the reclaimers and use this money for development of my experimental  tpu.  I found a company that makes rings and gears up to 200" in diameter at very close mechanical tolerances.
I need to build a small ring and try to accelerate the ring current as shown on my website.  Marks' "solenoid" windings driven at harmonic frequencies may be overkill since there is no output windings near the driver windings of my design.  I plan to accelerate the ring current like a child gets a vortex going in a round above ground pool with little paddles. Start the square wave input at a slow frequency that ramps up. 

@politicians on this site (no information here just my bullshit)

    I'm sorry if I upset anybody by criticizing SM's devices or postulated on what happened back there in '98.  I will state with certainty that SM is just a
man with all the good and bad that comes along with being human.  If you want to give up your free will and become some sort of cultist or holly roller or whatever that's your deal it is certainly not mine.  I am here to study this device and find out what makes it tick, and share my findings with as many human beings as I can.  This world needs some good news and it needs it now. 

  I have been working on a design change of the collector/driver winding/ring.
I posted below what I came up with.  I think it is going to be alot easier to do than a RF resonating circuit or putting together kicker windings and driving them at harmonic frequencies etc.  I just want to create the torroidal magnetic shell and experiment with it.  I plan to use 3/4" soft copper tubing for an experimental build powered by a 28vdc variable power supply.  Once I get some current up in the tubing ring, I plan to open the supply - let the current flow through the diode - and then close the relay contact which shunts the diode.  I want to see if supplying the coil boxed in (I hate to say it) granite, with light supplied through a fiberoptic cable and distributed by a convex mirror on the inside of the box and ring,  results in a sustainable ring current.  If it does I then want to study the shape and field strength of the magnetic shell.   Attached is the diagram.
