@all

So, I now have a very good way of biasing the ring to complete negative or positive potential. But what I have learned so far is the ring/cc pair offers a very fast repetitive action on the single pulse frequency of the toroid primaries/secondaries. So fast I cannot catch it on the scope because it is always changing. It will be interesting when I add the second ring.

One side note has been bugging me for a while now. I do not remember SM ever talking either directly or via a specific analogy, about his center toroid. So plain in sight are his toroids, but never a peep of discussion. So hidden and cloaked are his rings, and all his emphasis is on the rings. Blah Blah Blah. And, we never saw under the center toroid so there could be four more wires going out from the bottom as from the top.

Imagine if 90% of the TPU action was actually occuring in the toroid as shown by his amperage readings, and not one word about it in all his talks. Why do you think this is so. It is as if he is saying, "hey dumb ass, concentrate on the rings so there is no way in hell you will really discover this in a million years, that is if you do not solve the center toroid build, but I will never talk about that to anyone." So much so that he did not mind openly showing the outer rings in the FTPU and OTPU but again, not talk about the toroid. We have all this talk and talk but nothing on the toroid, even though it jumps out at you in most of his builds. lol

Now consider that little amount of coil turns in his toroid, even in bucking mode, over such a big toroid core mass is just simply insane. If you needed the toroid just for power smoothing, you could have done it much better with one that is 1/4 the size at the highest watts ratings. So I am sure the toroid is more then it is.

I have tested with a 1 layer secondary and one layer primary x 2. But now I realize the secondary just does not have enough winds to catch all the juice being thrown around and re-wizzed around by the ring/cc pair. So I now know you need more layers, but not in series, in parallel to increase the amperage. Or some series, then parallel.

So consider also when you look very close-up to his toroid primary winding, some of the turns are actually being embedded into the core at some places you can see only half of the wire on the surface of the core. That would be impossible with a ferrite or aluminum core. So now I know the core under the primary is an epoxy filler material. But what is inside the core. Then consider that the more secondary layers you have, the more amperage or voltage you can draw from the secondaries.

So consider this then. I take a small 2 1/2" diameter toroid core of let's say 1/4" squared. Over this I wind 6 layers of 600 strand litz wire, making two nice secondaries. With the litz wire in place, it will be impossible to now wind the primary over it because the litz is to soft and will not be able to support the stress of the thicker primary winds. So what do I do?? Hmmmmmmmmmm. Let me think and think and think again. I got it. I take this core and secondaries, parallel each end of the secondaries to get four wires out, two comming out the top and two from the bottom. I then take the toroid and put it into a slightly bigger toroidal mold that has a good expoxy material in it and pour the rest on top and this makes the toroid now look just like a simple core. Then I wind my primaries and with the four wires, I exit two from the top and two from the bottom.

Bingo, I now have a damn good toroid that looks just like SMs. Plus, with so many insulated wires in the litz winds all in parallel, this gives me maximum sensitivity of the coil to pickup very low voltages to start with and very high voltages to end with. Plus all I need is a 1 amp rating as the maximum.

Just some stuff I think about while doing more tests.

No magnetic metal anywhere in the tpu.
