@Paul

Do you think ne555's ( thats what I have ) are OK for this application
I will look at the PDF and try to get some Ideas
If you could make a schematic of a circuit after pin 3 I would
appreciate  it... you know a pictures worth a thousand words
thanks

@ Otto

So you or someone has used synthetic oil and it stopped working
That doesn't make sense ( not that a TPU does Ha HA ) did you ever try it without exposed wire
or has any one els ?

TS555CN's are rated the highest I have found in the 555 timer category concerning frequency. The standard bipolar 555 has a max freq of 500Khz, while the cmos 555 series ranges from 1Mhz, to the TS555CN at 2.7Mhz. I have had success overclocking the cmos varieties, but not the bipolar. Interesting, you said you tried the circuit and achieved 3 to 4 Mhz using standard ne555 BIPOLARS?? Awesome! Good job!

Concerning the schematic, use figure2 in the pdf, just like I told otto. It resembles a push/pull oscillation circuit, but is actually a source/sink drive circuit. For instance, an IRF840 and similar may well need to source/sink 1.5A or more to completely saturate the gate junction for full conduction, where the 555 function generator circuit can only source/sink 200ma. (I earlier didn't take this into account when I drew up the circuit, and it explains low amperage throughput problems I have been noticing.)

@ Otto and Paul

Even the newbees get to shine in the sun for a while

Thanks for your help on the oscillators
I took Paul's fast Oscillator circuit and Otto's Config of the tpu

By using all adjustable Resistors I did get the Oscillator to do its job
Finally !!!

Using a 12 V battery and a bridge I got the voltage to around 130 VDC and this was only
one Frequency  But Otto 75 W bulb did not glow

I have an old setup for another Oscillator I will need to try for the second Frequency any Ideas

My Mosfet was Africa Hot so I used and old PC CPU heat sink to cool it down.. worked good

So thanks guys

Nick

Oh ya I did try 24 V and it got up to 200 VDC It probably would go Higher. I will test  but Otto no glow on the bulb... Still fun.. you know !!!

@otto

It's your favorite dumb question guy again. lol

This had been bugging me for a while. Did you ever try with two frequencies, one on the positive and one on the negative. Imagine when the tpu is disengaged from both ends at the same or varying frequencies. lol

On the +, is it possible to pass your frequency pulse through a fast diode. Also on the positive you can use a second diode in parallel to the first but in the other direction and going directly back the positive source. This will enable the flyback to return to source without touching the SS.

Flyback is what you are having as the heat source. Heat occurs when flyback occurs and it does not have a good place to go, like directly back to a battery positive terminal. I think that's why SMs TPUs heat up. There is nothing in his circuit that spells flyback return. He is returning the output to the circuit board, but the flyback is frying his coils. lol

If you give something to nature it will always want to give you something back. Give water and sunshine to an apple tree. It will give you magnificent apples that will nourish you much more then the water you gave it. Give a smart sequence of pulses at the right voltages and currents, into the right branchings of coils and like a tree, the coil will want to give something back to you. Flyback. Red hot and ready to use or ready to give back to your battery source so the voltage does not drop that much, or, ready to heat up your coils or circuit if you don't know how to accept natures generosity. This will be the challenge too tame the beast. This is what Tesla mastered.

I would replace his adjective ?wonderful? with ?imaginary?.  Such a thing just does NOT exist.

Even at idle speed, doing no real work, 3.5 hours on a gallon of gas is not possible for a 25 hp engine.

Take your average 25 hp electrical generator, with a 10 gallon tank, it will only run for 8 hours at half load on 10 gallons of gas!  That?s 48 minutes per gallon at HALF LOAD!  That?s almost 4.5 times less than SM ?amazing? engine?s stated run time!  In other words, a normal generator would need to be 450 % more efficient at half load to match ?SM? claimed gas engine.

Simple energy math:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#Energy_content
Gasoline contains about 34.6 megajoules per liter(MJ/L) or 131 MJ/US gallon.

1 gallon ~ 131 MJ

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower#Metric_horsepower
Metric horsepower, as a rule, is defined as 0.73549875 kW, or roughly 98.6% of mechanical horsepower.

3.5 (hours) * 3600 (seconds/hour) * 25 (horsepower) * 735.5 (W/horsepower) = 231682500 J ~ 231.7 MJ

Or somebody somewhere have wrong measurements/numbers, or this was actual wonderful (well-) over unity.

Using the information you gave, a 25 hp engine, that was 100% efficient, would consume approximately 1.77 gallons of gas in 3.5 hours.  Please realize that there are very few combustion engines on the market that achieve more than 30% efficiency.  However, the Bourke Engine that I mentioned in an earlier post is just under 83% efficient in converting the energy in the gas to usable rotational power.  Here is a link to that post:

You can reduce the amount of gasoline used. Of course you have to make up for it somewhere. Just do what JLN did here with lawn mower and the Plasma Fuel Reforming with the PMC. Off the shelf plumbing parts.

80% water 20% gasoline. Throw in a Bourke Engine and you only need to go to the gas station once a month. 

Back on topic would be nice. Looking forward to the looping results Otto was going for next. Am I to understand Otto can light a 100 watt bulb and is now going for self power and to light the bulb at the same time. Sounds interesting..
