Grumpy, that was part of something I asked before. I have made a couple "obvious" realizations since then.
When I mentioned an MT, I was not implying to use the "Ground", NOR the top load cap. Both are not required nor desired, in this instance. If you can generate a charge field, and feed this into one end of a coil, leaving the other end OPEN, then there is "NO SOURCE" for any standard conduction current, but the Field will still propagate to the end. This is actually the basis for certain advanced, but not well known, Tesla circuits, and that's actually where some of this concept comes from. This is also seems to be where the big argument between Tesla and Hertz seems to be based, as this IS NOT an antenna, but RF people wouldn't accept that fact. I am, right now, learning how to work with this type of "Charge", as I don't seem to be able to find an accurate reference anywhere. (Effects, ect. are not even fully documented. Certainly helps explain how a small flat coil with one wire can be useful....)
If I could get this to move a charge field up a long coil, then I am 9/10ths there. Arranging a coil around a torrid would do it, and only a single phase would be required. Actually, I agree with something you mentioned a while back, just a straight coil would do, for verifying the effect. The problem would come in with what externals have an effect, as I'm sure there will be leakage, etc. and where the charge will go upon disconnecting the source, as it must go somewhere. I am also quite concerned as to what happens when the charge hits the end of the wire of the coil, as it's far too easy for me to get one heck of a HV spark from there, which screws up the whole thing, as now I have introduced standard current, again. (I've said this too many times, without understanding what I was really saying. "Pesky electron flow!") Adding ANY component to the end of the coil would be VERY detrimental, so I need to do a LOT more work here, but the plan is simple, as are the tests I am running. It's just that this is very new for me to be able to actually work with an electric charge field, and be able to see a result. Very steep learning curve, as I am just beginning to really understand how electrical charge fields work... (In my own mind, that is. Theory is one thing, practical experience working with real physical fields is another.) It's hard to get out of the "Reference" mode that I am so used to working with. Hard to reference what charge level is there as there seem to be dynamics in this stuff I never considered when just "Thinking" about it.
If I can induce a conventional current from an electrical field movement, I'll let you know, as I am only to the point of trying to do just what you asked. MOVE a field down a coil (Easy, now...) and get that to DO something in a conventional sense. (Not so easy without falling back to allowing conventional current, which defeats the purpose, at this point.) If that occurs, and I can define the effect, even if inaccurately, I can then post such here, and I'm sure others will be able to fill in the blanks a lot quicker than I could. I begin to question if this is the actual TPU method, or if this is just the beginning thought, or, maybe this is the "Real" method, and a lot of mis-information went on. That's all guesswork for now. Actually, unless we see an original TPU, we would never know for sure, assuming any of this works, anyway.
I like the idea of inducing a field (Magnetic?) at 90 degrees, as if the first part works, pumping the resultant current througjh the center actually produces a 90 degree relationship to the charge field going down the coil, if the center just goes straight. This would be an automatic regulation as the more current drawn, the greater the field, etc. Excellent thought. Of course, I'm going very slow and that part must wait till I can see if the first part actually functions. Be assured, I won't forget it.
I would really feel great if this led to me actually posting something useful, with actual test data to back it up. THAT would be a post I could be proud of. (Which means, it will probably never happen, but I have to keep at this. It's become an obsession. This is when I do my best work, sometimes, as long as I remember to eat and sleep and things like that.) Gotta go play. Oh yeah, food...
