What is Known about the TPU

[Hakasays]

Thanks for the more detailed description Verpies.   I think what actually threw me off was I expected the field between a pair of coils/loops to repel rather than attract.
Still brings some interesting scenarios when we charge/discharge this unique capacitor and what that does to the surrounding field patterns..

Thanks for the more detailed description Verpies.   I think what actually threw me off was I expected the field between a pair of coils/loops to repel rather than attract.

Since the force between two conductors is attractive when the currents in these conductors flow in the same direction and repulsive if they flow in opposite directions, the coaxial rings will attract each other axially when carrying currents in the same direction.
However, the same rings will be expanded radially by the diametrically opposite currents.

So if you had a long narrow elastic superconductive tube and you forced a permanent magnet inside it, then this tube would tend to change its shape into a large Hula-Hoop.

Still brings some interesting scenarios when we charge/discharge this unique capacitor and what that does to the surrounding field patterns..

If you take the experiment depicted below and modify it by inserting a capacitor in series with the loop and rotating them with the angular frequency 1/√(LC) then the amplitude of the alternating current induced in that loop will increase without bound when R=0.

For once I can see a meaningful discussion for once.

Lenz is involved.

Which is faster moving, an electric field or a magnetic field.

In a normal transformer the core is iron or "ferrite", the primary coil induces a changing magnetic field into the core which then induces into the secondary.

Dropping a magnet down a copper tube produces an equal opposing field (Lenz), is there a "delay" in the returning field? Maybe you do not see the delay because the tube is thousands of shorted loops joined together?

If those shorted loops were just two parallel independant loops which each has a charge, one positive and one negative, will that make a directional difference to a returning field (think perpendicular).

If those charges are oscillating at a frequency of MHz!!!!!!

I think I have given you enough to think about.

OK let me have a stab at this for shits and giggles MJN - The electric field = (electromagnetic field) = C 186,000 miles/sec in old money. The transverse wave. The  (electrostatic) field as established by Charles Wheatstone = C x pi/2 = 192,000 miles /sec. The longitudinal wave. So the first answer I suggest is the electrostatic field is much faster . INDUCES into the secondary regarding 'induces' I suggest a revision of that oh so important video by Dollard and Carson for most folks, this particular cut I suspect pertains

In Short however what we all might have been taught about how a transformer performs is probably to say the least- doubtful  - In appears the theory has been inverted. You suggest  Lenz is involved MJN I suspect so too - Its effect is cancelled by counter winding , Just as a wire wound resistor is by counter winding (Bifilar). In this case two counter directional windings essentially  on the same former  such that Lenz is cancelled and the magnetic effect cumulative. exactly this effect is utilised by Edward Leedskalnin in the never satisfactorily explained perpetual magnetic holder . The soft Iron he specified I suggest because a high Mu B/H curve is really required - Just as it will have to be essential in the T.P.U if switching is to be done in the high MHZ range - much like the inverters and power bricks using SMPS .. higher frequency , smaller transformers. however that High permittivity becomes critical, Here MJN I remind myself of Steve Marks employment at the time, It was at a specialist Loud speaker manufacturer, He had at his work a full range of ferrites ,powdered along with other magnetic responsive materials - In short he could mix Mu materials to any desired frequency response, shape and cast and set the material into any shape he wished.  The final step in this mental exercise for me MJN is exactly the same circuit as Leedskalnin used - But inverted ,in other words exactly the same circuit is used but in this case Joe Flynn included Permanent magnets , switching the magnetic flux path results in a permanent magnet becoming -- Oh bless my soul Dynamic, (Thane Heins  very similar) Its something of a credit to you Mike that your own example of copper pipe and magnet is again used to describe the effect to a three year old -- so you just might be able to show me ?

naturally no moving parts in the TPU - However very fast magnetic flux switching back and forth . Certainly an interesting project to consider even if I haven't won the Coconut this time. As an aside but nothing to do with this topic Mike Just today I came across a pdf I'm sure you'll find fascinating - I attach for your inspection.
