@Giantkiller,

Thanks alot for the diagrams and vid, I've printed out the diagram, I will be winding something similar.

(Q):
On your youtube video where the events build slowly and then snap into a more energetic waveform, were you tweaking any controls or did that all happen hands off? I'm guessing it was hands off but I have to ask because it's amazing!

edit:
I've been trying inductive/capacitive pickup (loops and straight wire) like you said to modify the gate signal. It gives a new meaning to the term "control coil" and the system becomes much more complex, chaotic stuff seems to happen, it becomes almost alive. Different modes of operation snap into and out of existence depending on VERY small freq changes and pickup geometry. Touchwood I've not blown a FET (yet). I'm also pussyfooting around the thing with x100 probes which are real nice because they are real highZ and don't pull behaviour as much as x1 or x10.

@Yucca,
I touched nothing nor changed anything. The 4" ring is small volume so no danger. Now my 15" ring is another story. But like before I went back to the smaller coils like a year ago to control the continuous signal. The saturable reactor is the feedback control. I have this from a very informed source and there was a long posting session about this. Besides, once again, this appears all over the place in TPU pictures.

@EM,
I am now running off a 12v battery. Same event occurs. Just not ready for this step yet. The self running and charging will not be a problem. I promise.

@all,
You clock it with a square pulse. Tune up and down the scale. It is not hard. You will see spikes appear on the off cycle. Change the freq till see more appear then they start to wiggle. Keep at this till you see the wave move up in DC. Then wait. That is all there is to it. As practice just make the spikes appear and disappear. The final event should take 20 seconds if you decide to wait.
A 555 and a fet. The timing capacitor is .022uf and the duty cycle is 50%. The timimg and duty cycle pots are 100k. The bias and collector bifilar is 16awg stranded speaker wire. 4 turns 2 layers. Keep it neat and bundled square.

Been at this a year so I know it is doable. After I posted this on youtube that is when the saturable reactor posts started.
Here is the progressional history of the event.

The thumping and P2P spikes are most prominent with the Iron, Steel, & Copper. The spikes are bigger too. But don't be concerned with the different builds. I was chasing waveforms. Now you are too.

--giantkiller. I hope there is alot of building out there. I am building a second one.

P.S. It is the crazy ones that change the world. The sane ones just complain.

The red and blue are bifilar but wired serially. So I get one long wire in 4 different fields events. The eclipsing fields produce the shockwave or virtual stun gun/sparkgap. High speed.
Resonance equals frequency matched up to circumference. Everything that has already been covered.

Way to ! Gk

The diagram shows a single wire for the controls ..not bifilar right?

EMDevices posted it so I thought I would include the topology since that is the next step I am taking.
That pic also matched the notched PVC coil that Marco, Jason and I built.

Its the ftpu circuit 01  that is confusing me but also what puts the mag amp in perfect place

the rest is fantastic!

I feel a song comming on...

I cant help thinking the collector winds top and bottom are different directions

Im told that they are already here  HA!

Great idea Otto! You have never told me incorrectly before.
To preclude going to 3 layers, I have set at 2 for reason I state next.
Correctly spaced rings will sit in each others standing wave. That is why audio systems get feedback when the microphone is positioned at certain distances and angles. The standing waves are related to harmonic distances. Tesla's earthquake machine is another fine example.

I already have 3 layers in the BFG2k8 build. This build has variable distancing capabilities along support rods.

This is the distance testing in the standing waves.

Hello all,

try top collector CW
middle collector CCW
bottom collector CW

Otto

nice graphics GK, if only they were real.   LOL 

I'm telling you guys, I know the secret ! but apparently it's falling on death ears.

I just don't have the time right now to do a proper design that's impedance matched, otherwise I'll be lighting up 100 watt bulbs.  It's not rocket science you know!   Just add a regulator to the output and I will get stable power to show you, but other priorities are here.

P.S.  This is what I believe a TPU schematic is or should be, and what I will try and build when I have the time.
