@wattsup, interesting thoughts.
@ Grumpy, in my em book, the magnetic field of a moving point charge has way more terms, the equation you posted must be some simplistic formula that has the "free energy" terms stripped from it!

@All,
Ok, this is serious, (EMDevices is now putting on his "serious hat".

)
DC creation mechanismIn one of the longer videos (the UEC one I believe) SM is starting to talk about his little TPU that is powering a TV on the table, for about 20 minutes or so. The audio is blanked out to protect the infomation, but what he says, or tries to say, is quite clear.
He basicaly says that he is using a magnetic field to create curent in a wire, plain and simple, and this has been known for hundreds of years, so he is talking about the generator principle of moving a wire through a magnetic field, or vice versa, but he says this principle is applied in a new way in the TPU.
Would you like to know what the "new way" is? I'll tell you.
Instead of building a generator with a moving rotor inside a stator, the TPU that SM has built is very similar to a generator and still has all the parts and functions of a conventional generator:
1) The "rotor" is the collector wire, that vibrates in a circular way and elastic or acoustic waves travel one way around the perifery of the collector, constantly cutting a magnetic field that also ROTATES WITH IT. This ensures a constant POLARITY of DC current.
2) The "stator" is the control winding that produces the rotating magnetic field that the collector cuts through, and because it rotates in synchronism with the collector deformation or elastic waves, the generated voltage and current inside the TPU is a direct current and voltage. the synchronicity ensures a direct current, it basicaly removes the need for brushes and contacts in a DC generator.You see how simple that is, the DC current production should not be a mystery anymore. Like I said before, a rotating magnetic wave in synchronism with an acoustic or elastic wave deforming the collector.
In his own way, Steven is telling us this when he talks about the "kick" and how the fillament in the tubes would move becasue of the high inrush current through them and because there is a magnetic field present around, that of the earth he says. So we need movement and a magnetic field!
The turbine effectI already mentioned the rotation of the magnetic field, and this is the "turbine" effect, because according to Steven it takes a while for the "turbine to spin up, or down" so that's why he called it the "turbine" in the first place. He also talks about the compass rotating, etc..and of course, about the magnetic field rotating and inducing current in the collector. He is very certain of it.
So, let me ask you guys a question:
Do I have a TPU if I build a rotating magnetic field (RMF) device? The answer is not yet. The RMF is a needed component but there is more to it, namely the "rotor" or collector, which needs to start vibrating. Vibration is the other "key" ingredient.
How do we build a RFM? Let me say that SM did NOT wind his TPU to mimic a typical 2-phase induction motor stator, because he say's that "he observed" the turbine effect, he talks about it as if it's something he did not expect. Moreover, he talks about injecting a number of frequencies, and their result happens to be a rotating magnetic field. However, the OTPU is sure making me doubt this theory. It seems very plain that the device has 4 quadrants and I can't escape the impression that he is doing a classic 2-phase RFM.
So, in conclusion I want to point out that we should keep in mind the bigger picture when we read what SM had to say. He is explaining the small parts and concepts but lets not lose sight of the big picture, the RMF and the VIBRATION, which produce the DC current generator function of the TPU, not to mention it's gyroscopic behavior.
EM
PS, there are obviously different types of TPU that Steven built, and this principle of generation is cetainly adaptable. Studying the OTPU makes me realize that we do'nt even need a collector coil, the control coils can do everyting, both creating the rotating magnetic fields, and moving with the ring they are wound around when it deforms, thus inducing a DC current in the same windings. The magnets and the two vertical coils are part of the equation obviously, but I think these are peculiarities of how Steven implemented his TPUs in the begining.
Comments from Steven:
Lindsay, I have just received your second letter where you start off with:
OH MY GOD!
I am pleased that you can clearly see the turbine...
The interesting thing is how with the right combination of
frequencies, you can actually create a revolving field with inertial!After re-reading what SM had to say about the collector and control windings, and specifically that the control winding are wound in 3 segments, with each segment being fed a separate frequency, it is now clear to me that he is creating a rotating magnetic field on purpose, not as a byproduct. What he is a bit unclear about is how the DC is created, and offers his suggestion that it is something like "squeezing the hose", and its pretty close, but the actual physics are more involved as I tried to describe.
For the practical person:No need to wrap your mind around such complicated ideas of how this thing operates, just input three frequencies into the 3 segments wound around the collector coil(s), which by the way are also connected to the control winding in series, something that often it is missed. So when the frequencies flow through the control coils, they also flow though the collector coils, and the magnetic field that is produced creates electrodynamic forces on the collector coil and it begins to vibrate and resonate and ultimately, the DC producing dynamo effect or turbine effect develops. That is the condition when everything is operating in synchronicity and the frequencies mix or add just right to create the rotating field or turbine effect, and the whole thing starts "converting" energy. you don't have to understand how the "RADIO" works, just have to know how to turn it on and tune in. Just be ready with a "kill" switch.
