Going back to Stevens descriptions he mentioned creating "catalyst" and plasma does tick a few boxes for this.
There have been a few different description of the central loops and for some time they were described as loops going around an back on themselves.
Now it seems that they are coils joined in the centre .
It would be helpful to get this part defined as its very hard to change after the careful overwinds are done .
Are they back and forward winds or 3 turns joined at the ends? or 3 loops joined?
This was never clear ...but being out of the loop that may have been purposefully vague .
Else my comprehension is just poor .
Hi Lindsay The description of a twin wire going back on itself was my idea as a "ONE FOR ALL" core. It basically gave all the possibilities you can imagine, so you would not have to wind any other (which is what I did in the end as I was fed up with winding "many" toroids. I really think it does not have to be a toroid shape, it could be straight  A toroid shape uses less space, but it has a space where the ends meet which allows for connections. You have to think hard over those connections and the possibility of arcing over with some which are "capacitive", seems SM had that problem where he opened up to repair the problem, so forwarned. There is only one core wire in the end, one plate of the capacitor, the other plate is the coils, especially the "b" coils, but also there is capacitance with the rest of the coils even though the loop is connected to the "A" mosfet drain. The loop is not an inductive element with the coils, it is only capacitive (quite clever). Splitting the coils (center tapping) into a top and bottom toroid is also a space-saving idea of SM. The big TPUs were TWO TPUs entirely and why two CMCs, give twice as much power. The smaller one I have described (powering the TV, etc) is half the big TPUs of SM, as simple as that, but deceptive.
