...we are a army , a resistance to oppression , but bad programing brings us to oppress our self...

Yes, but not here.  Unlike an army, anyone can join this particular forum; agent provocateurs and crazy bastards alike, allowed to flail about for over five thousand posts before you, Mk1, helped put that one down.  (Thanks again, by the way.)  But there will always be more; same ways, different means.

Other, "invitation only," forums could be compromised as well.

"Listen to everyone, read everything, believe absolutely nothing unless you can prove it to yourself with your own research." -Milton William Cooper

I believe that the Joule Thief circuit allows anyone to do their own research because it costs so very little to make and engages the mind in contemplation of oscillating circuits, unlike a standard DC flashlight 'experiment,' there is more going on inside.

I have absolutely no idea who is telling me the truth on this, or any other forum, unless I prove it to myself.  Why do any of us trust anyone else?  We do not need trust, we need brains, brains, and more brains.  We each need to figure it out alone, for ourselves, by ourselves until we reach a critical mass and the truth can no longer be contained,... whatever that truth my be.  It may just be boring old textbook stuff, after all, or it could take us to the stars.

Good night, and good luck.

     @ All:
      Looks like the man behind the curtain doesn't know his A.. from a hole in the ground, either. Just more BS. He must be so bored, and got nothing else to do. Since he couldn't get his toy to work.  If he really knew something,  he wouldn't be waisting his time here.
  NOW its your turn,  smart guy.   You got more BS for us?  Or are you getting the POINT...     

     
                             
               

@e2,
Well put.
I am still on the current build. It has taken time becaue I see in this set of instructions the potential of putting most of the specifications we know of in place. I also have 3 layers/coils just finished.
Now I put the specified electronic process in place.

This will prove one of 2 things: the build, the process, or the source that gave me this. I want this narrowed down. I trust the build specifications and the process shown. This will validate the supplier.

The caveat in the subimission is: 'If the coil doesn't work throw it away and try again.'

...
The main strength of the JT is the people working on it in harmony and sharing all data , it works great ...
...
Some are leaders and start there own topics like Gk , we should all to this to document our research , and making it accessible to others you do your best if others are interested they will ask for more details ...

That is the only way .

I agree.  But PLEASE include enough detail, like GK's builds and others, so that your contribution can be replicated, verified, and experienced on anyone's bench or your just another pretty pinwheel stuck out the passenger window.

This forum, and others, may not be as useless as I portend. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc

I lead myself. Others choose to follow. Creative people are not natural born leaders with politics. Their idea is different at the time when others need to see. We all go 'round and 'round in these positions.

Creativity is the initial joining together of two or more previously unrelated ideas to form a new idea, such as the Joule-Thief circuit.  Now, since the basic circuit has been shown here many times, we can start with this one JT idea, (or some other idea,) add our own ideas, and make our own discoveries.  Someone posted an Armstrong oscillator circuit here recently; very similar to a JT.  I intend to test that circuit one season, maybe this winter.  It looks like I have settled-in for the long, scenic-view; I am just happy to be on the train.

Say where is this train headed; do we now understand electricity in the TPU?

You are thinking way to hard and making this way too complicated.

Try to get one layer or one coil to work before you try three layers.  This is the best advice that anyone can give another and I'm sure that Steven would agree.  Start at square one and do not move to the next square until you complete square one.  Everyone skips past square one and wonders why it doesn't work.

Where did Steven start?  He noticed something odd.  A noise? A vibration? A feeling?  A signal? An effect?  That is square one.

@Rosphere

Unfortunately people do not want to learn about the electricity in the TPU because it may lead to some unwanted conclusion. I have been trying to sink some logic into your brains about the SM TPU but it looks like I will be the only one to get the message.

All I read, although very interesting posts of ideas on workings and effects, a @GK design, some blabber-mouthing, but nothing, NOTHING ON WHAT I HAD PUT FORTH.

So I have almost finished preparing the third and final post on the subject of how to fake a TPU demo, because I am now totally convinced SM faked ALL his videos (except the FTPU) and even  his demos with them live turkeys just gobbling up all the crap SM shot at them. SM was a master of deceit. His videos are a stark warning to all that the deceivers will come forth with many ploys to make you think what you want to think. They will devise many excuses as to why they do not show voltage and amperage readings. They will use any method possible to justify their mentally deranged antics.

Again, just listen to the message SM left Jack Durban after JD did the radio show. Kind of tells you that even to this day SM is mentally unstable. He only feels comfortable when he is lying to aid in his self-aggrandizement.

I want my post to be a written record so that in 5 years from now when everyone finally wakes up and realizes that SM was a total fraud, that I will at least be able to say, "WOW - Lucky me - I turned left just in time to head off another 5 years of limbo-isms. Guys better wake up.

@sparks

Do you know anything about any electronic equivalent to "static receptors".
Seems all I can find out on this is in "biology" but nothing in electronics. Hmmmmmm.
