Thank you for posting this Mike,
I find this to be a very interesting circuit, It self oscillates? No transistors and efficient very nice!
Yes self oscillates Here is a scope shot of the output of the switch (green trace) and the primary of the output transformer (yellow trace). Note the very high voltages on the input and also the primary of the transformer. Battery used for this 12.56v running, voltage across 0.1 ohm ohmite = 37mv, No return charge, but 92.9v on secondary into 3w 240v supper bright led bulb (the led bulb has to be tested for output at this voltage of 92.9v) problem for testing is the frequency it is running at. This output is very low power, it is not OU but very efficient. This was only a test bed for a proof of concept of creating what might be called escalating noise. Anyway it is a good entry into how a TPU might work regards Mike
