Chapter 3: Motionless Pulsed Systems
The pulsed devices mentioned so
far have had moving parts. This does not have to be the case if
rotating or fluctuating magnetic fields can be created without moving
parts. This can indeed be done, and an example of this is Graham
Gunderson’s Solid-State Electric Generator shown in US Patent
Application 2006/0163971 A1 of 27th July 2006. The details are as
follows:
Abstract
A solid-state electrical generator
including at least one permanent magnet, magnetically coupled to a
ferromagnetic core provided with at least one hole penetrating its volume;
the hole(s) and magnet(s) being placed so that the hole(s) intercept flux
from the permanent magnet(s) coupled into the ferromagnetic core. A
first wire coil is wound around the ferromagnetic core for the purpose of
moving the coupled permanent magnet flux within the ferromagnetic core.
A second wire is routed through the hole(s) penetrating the volume
of the ferromagnetic core, for the purpose of intercepting this moving
magnetic flux, thereby inducing an output electromotive force. A
changing voltage applied to the first wire coil causes coupled permanent
magnet flux to move within the core relative to the hole(s) penetrating
the core volume, thus inducing electromotive force along wire(s) passing
through the hole(s) in the ferromagnetic core. The mechanical
action of an electrical generator is therefore synthesised without the use
of moving parts.
Background
This invention relates to a
method and device for generating electrical power using solid state means.
It has long been known that moving a magnetic field across a wire will
generate an electromotive force (EMF), or voltage, along the wire.
When this wire is connected in a closed electrical circuit, an electric
current, capable of performing work, is driven through this closed circuit
by the induced electromotive force.
It has also long been known
that this resulting electric current causes the closed circuit to become
encircled with a secondary, induced magnetic field, whose polarity opposes
the primary magnetic field which first induced the EMF. This
magnetic opposition creates mutual repulsion as a moving magnet approaches
such a closed circuit, and a mutual attraction as that moving magnet moves
away from the closed circuit. Both these actions tend to slow or
cause “drag” on the progress of the moving magnet, causing the electric
generator to act as a magnetic brake, whose effect is in direct proportion
to the amount of electric current produced.
Historically, gas
engines, hydroelectric dams and steam-fed turbines have been used to
overcome this magnetic braking action which occurs within mechanical
generators. A large amount of mechanical power is required to
produce a large amount of electrical power, since the magnetic braking is
generally proportional to the amount of electrical power being generated.
There has long been felt the need for a generator which reduces or
eliminates the well-known magnetic braking interaction, while nevertheless
generating useful electric power. The need for convenient,
economical and powerful sources of renewable energy remains urgent.
When the magnetic fields within a generator are caused to move and
interact by means other than applied mechanical force, electric power can
be supplied without the necessity of consuming limited natural resources,
thus with far greater economy.
Summary of the Invention
It has long been known that the source of the magnetism
within a permanent magnet is a spinning electric current within
ferromagnetic atoms of certain elements, persisting indefinitely in accord
with well-defined quantum rules. This atomic current encircles
every atom, thereby causing each atom to emit a magnetic field, as a
miniature electromagnet.
This atomic current does not exist in
magnets alone. It also exists in ordinary metallic iron, and in any
element or metallic alloy which can be “magnetised”, that is, any material
which exhibits ferromagnetism. All ferromagnetic atoms and
“magnetic metals” contain such quantum atomic electromagnets.
In
specific ferromagnetic materials, the orientation axis of each atomic
electromagnet is flexible. The orientation of magnetic flux both
internal and external to the material, pivots easily. Such
materials are referred to as magnetically “soft”, due to this magnetic
flexibility.
Permanent magnet materials are magnetically “hard”.
The orientation axis of each is fixed in place within a rigid
crystal structure. The total magnetic field produced by these atoms
cannot easily move. This constraint aligns the field of ordinary
magnets permanently, hence the name “permanent”.
The axis of
circular current flow in one ferromagnetic atom can direct the axis of
magnetism within another ferromagnetic atom, through a process known as
“spin exchange”. This gives a soft magnetic material, like raw
iron, the useful ability to aim, focus and redirect the magnetic field
emitted from a magnetically hard permanent magnet.
In the present
invention, a permanent magnet’s rigid field is sent into a magnetically
flexible “soft” magnetic material. the permanent magnet’s apparent
location, observed from points within the magnetically soft material, will
effectively move, vibrate, and appear to shift position when the
magnetisation of the soft magnetic material is modulated by ancillary
means (much like the sun, viewed while underwater, appears to move when
the water is agitated). By this mechanism, the motion required for
generation of electricity can be synthesised within a soft magnetic
material, without requiring physical movement or an applied mechanical
force.
The present invention synthesises the virtual motion of
magnets and their magnetic fields, without the need for mechanical action
or moving parts, to produce the electrical generator described here.
The present invention describes an electrical generator where
magnetic braking known as expressions of Lenz’s Law, do not oppose the
means by which the magnetic field energy is caused to move. The
synthesised magnetic motion is produced without either mechanical or
electrical resistance. This synthesised magnetic motion is aided by
forces generated in accordance with Lenz’s Law, in order to produce
acceleration of the synthesised magnetic motion, instead of physical
“magnetic braking” common to mechanically-actuated electrical generators.
Because of this novel magnetic interaction, the solid-state static
generator of the present invention is a robust generator, requiring only a
small electric force of operate.

The appended drawings illustrate only typical
embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered
limiting of its scope, as the invention encompasses other equally
effective embodiments.

exploded view of the generator of this invention.
Fig.2 is a
cross-sectional elevation of the generator of this invention.

schematic diagram of the magnetic action occurring within the generator of
Fig.1 and

generator of this invention.
Detailed
Description of the Invention Fig.1 depicts a partially exploded
view of an embodiment of an electrical generator of this invention.
The part numbers also apply in
Fig.2 and
Fig.3.
Numeral
1
represents a permanent magnet with it’s North pole pointing inward towards
the soft ferromagnetic core of the device. Similarly, numeral
2 indicates permanent magnets (preferably of the same size, shape
and composition), with their South poles aimed inward towards the opposite
side, or opposite surface of the device. The letters “
S” and
“
N” denote these magnetic poles in the drawings. Other
magnetic polarities and configurations may be used with success; the
pattern shown merely illustrates one efficient method of adding magnets to
the core.
The magnets may be formed of any polarised magnetic
material. In order of descending effectiveness, the most desirable
permanent magnet materials are Neodymium-Iron-Boron (“NIB”), Samarium
Cobalt, AlNiCo alloy, or “ceramic” Strontium-Barium or Lead-Ferrite.
A primary factor determining permanent magnet material composition
is the magnetic flux strength of the particular material type. In
an embodiment of the invention, these magnets may also be substituted with
one or more electromagnets producing the required magnetic flux. In
another embodiment of the invention, a superimposed DC current bias can be
applied to the output wire to generate the required magnetic flux,
replacing or augmenting the permanent magnets.
Numeral
3
indicates the magnetic core. This core is a critical component of
the generator. The core determines the output power capacity, the
optimum magnet type, the electrical impedance and the operating frequency
range. The core may be any shape, composed of any ferromagnetic
material, formed by any process (sintering, casting, adhesive bonding,
tape-winding, etc.). A wide range of shapes, materials and
processes is known in the art of making magnetic cores. Effective
common materials include amorphous metal alloys (such as sold under the
“Metglas” trademark by Metglas Inc., Conway, S.C.), nanocrystalline
alloys, manganese and zinc ferrites as well as ferrites of any suitable
element including any combination of magnetically “hard” and “soft”
ferrites, powdered metals and ferromagnetic alloys, laminations of cobalt
and/or iron and silicon-iron “electrical steel”. This invention
successfully utilises any ferromagnetic material, while functioning as
claimed. In an embodiment of the invention, and for the purpose of
illustration, a circular “toroid” core is illustrated. In an
embodiment of the invention, the composition may be bonded iron powder,
commonly available from many manufacturers.
Regardless of core
type, the core is prepared with holes, through which, wires may pass.
the holes are drilled or formed to penetrate the core’s
ferromagnetic volume. The toroidal core
3 shown, includes
radial holes pointing towards a common centre. If, for example,
stiff wire rods were to be inserted through each of these holes, these
rods would meet at the centre point of the core, producing an appearance
similar to a spoked wheel. If a square or rectangular core (not
illustrated) is used, then these holes are preferably oriented parallel to
the core’s flat sides, causing stiff rods passed through the holes to form
a square grid pattern, as the rods cross each other in the interior
“window” area framed by the core. While in other embodiments of the
invention, these holes may take any possible orientation or patterns of
orientation, a simple row of radial holes is illustrated as one example.
Numeral
4 depicts a wire, or bundle of wires which pick up
and carry the output power of the generator. Typically, this wire
is composed of insulated copper, though other materials such as aluminium,
iron, dielectric material, polymers and semiconducting materials may be
substituted. It may be seen in
Fig.1 and
Fig.2, that
wire
4 passes alternately through neighbouring holes formed in core
3. The path taken by wire
4 undulates as it passes in
opposite direction through each adjacent hole. If an even number of
holes is used, the wire will emerge on the same side of the core on which
it first entered. Once all the holes are filled, the resulting pair
of trailing leads may be twisted together or similarly terminated, forming
the output terminals of the generator shown at numeral
5.
Output wire
4, may also make multiple passes through each hole in
the core. Though the winding pattern is not necessarily undulatory,
this basic form is shown as an example. Many effective connection
styles exist. This illustration shows the most simple.
Numeral
6
in
Fig.1, Fig.2 and
Fig.3, points to a partial illustration
of the input winding, or inductive coil used to shift the fields of the
permanent magnets, within the core. Typically, this wire coil
encircles the core, wrapping around it. For the toroidal core
shown, input coil
6 resembles the outer windings of a typical
toroidal inductor - a common electrical component. For the sake of
clarity, only a few turns of coil 6 are shown in each of
Fig.1,
Fig.2 and
Fig.3. In practice, this coil may cover the
entire core, or specific sections of the core, including, or not including
the magnets.
Fig.2 shows the same electrical generator of
Fig.1, looking transparently “down” through it from above, so that
the relative positions of the core holes (shown as dotted lines), the path
of the output wire 4, and the position of the magnets (white hatched areas
for magnets under the core and green hatched areas for magnets above the
core) are made clear. The few representative turns of the input
coil
6 are shown in red in
Fig.2.
The generator
illustrated, uses a core with 8 radially drilled holes. The spacing
between these holes is equal. As shown, each hole is displaced by
45 degrees from each of it’s adjoining holes. The centres of all of
the holes lie on a common plane lying half-way down the vertical thickness
of the core. Cores of any shape or size may have as few as two or
as many as hundreds of holes and a similar number of magnets. Other
variations exist, such as generators with multiple rows of holes, zigzag
and diagonal patterns, or output wire 4 moulded directly into the core
material. In any case, the basic magnetic interaction shown in
Fig.3 occurs for each hole in the core as described below.
Fig.3
shows the same design, viewed from the side. The curvature of the
core is shown flattened on the page for the purpose of illustration.
The magnets are represented schematically, protruding from the top
and bottom of the core, and including arrows indicating the direction of
magnetic flux (the arrow heads point to the magnet’s North pole).
In practice, the free, unattached polar ends of the generator’s
magnets may be left “as-is” in open air, or they may be provided with a
common ferromagnetic path linking the unattached North and South poles
together as a magnetic “ground”. The common return path is
typically made of steel, iron or similar material, taking the form of a
ferrous enclosure housing the device. It may serve the additional
purpose of a protecting chassis. The magnetic return may also be
another ferromagnetic core of a similar electric generator stacked on top
of the illustrated generator. There can be a stack of generators,
sharing common magnets between the generator cores. Any such
additions are without direct bearing on the functional principle of the
generator itself, and have therefore been omitted from these
illustrations.
Two example flux diagrams are shown in
Fig.3. Each example is shown in a space between
schematically depicted partial input coils
6. A positive or
negative polarity marker indicates the direction of input current, applied
through the input coil. This applied current produces “modulating”
magnetic flux, which is used to synthesise apparent motion of the
permanent magnets, and is shown as a double-tailed horizontal arrow
(
a) along the core
3. Each example shows this
double-tailed arrow (
a) pointing to the right or to the left,
depending on the polarity of the applied current.
In either case,
vertical flux entering the core (
b,3) from the external permanent
magnets (
1,2) is swept along within the core, in the direction of
the double-tailed arrow (
a), representing the magnetic flux of the
input coil. These curved arrows (
b) in the space between the
magnets and the holes, can be seen to shift or bend (
a --> b),
as if they were streams or jets of air subject to a changing wind.
The resulting sweeping motion of the fields of the permanent
magnets, causes their flux (
b) to brush back and forth over the
holes and wire
4 which passes through these holes. Just as
in a mechanical generator, when the magnetic flux brushes or “cuts”
sideways across a conductor in this way, voltage is induced in the
conductor. If an electrical load is connected across the ends of
this wire conductor (numeral
5 in
Fig.1 and
Fig.2), a
current flows through the load via this closed circuit, delivering
electrical power able to perform work. Input of an alternating
current across the input coil
6, generates an alternating magnetic
field (
a) causing the fields of permanent magnets
1 and
2 to shift (
b) within the core
3, inducing electrical
power through a load (attached to terminals
5), as if the fixed
magnets (
1,2) themselves were physically moving. However, no
mechanical motion is present.
In a mechanical generator, induced
current powering an electrical load, returns through output wire
4,
creating a secondary induced magnetic field, exerting forces which
substantially oppose the original magnetic field inducing the original
EMF. Since load currents induce their own, secondary magnetic
fields opposing the original act of induction in this way, the source of
the original induction requires additional energy to restore itself and
continue generating electricity. In mechanical generators, the
energy-inducing motion of the generator’s magnetic fields is being
physically actuated, requiring a strong prime mover (such as a steam
turbine) to restore the EMF-generating magnetic fields’ motion against the
braking effect of the output-induced magnetic fields (the induced field
c and the inducing field
b), destructively in mutual
opposition, which must ultimately be overcome by physical force, which is
commonly produced by the consumption of other energy resources.
The electrical generator of the present invention is not actuated
by mechanical force. It makes use of the induced secondary magnetic
field in such a way as to not cause opposition, but instead, addition and
resulting acceleration of magnetic field motion. Because the
present invention is not mechanically actuated, and because the magnetic
fields do not act to destroy one another in mutual opposition, the present
invention does not require the consumption of natural resources in order
to generate electricity.
The present generator’s induced magnetic
field, resulting from electrical current flowing through the load and
returning through output wire
4, is that of a closed loop
encircling each hole in the core. The induced magnetic fields
create magnetic flux in the form of closed loops within the ferromagnetic
core. The magnetic field “encircles” each hole in the core which
carries output wire
4. This is similar to the threads of a
screw “encircling” the shaft of the screw.
Within this generator,
the magnetic field from output wire
4 immediately encircles each
hole formed in the core (
c). Since wire
4 may take an
opposing direction through each neighbouring hole, the direction of the
resulting magnetic field will likewise be opposite. The direction
of arrows (
b) and (
c) are, at each hole, opposing, headed in
opposite directions, since (
b) is the inducing flux and (
c)
is the induced flux, each opposing one another while generating
electricity.
However, this magnetic opposition is effectively
directed against the permanent magnets which are injecting their flux into
the core, but not the source of the alternating magnetic input field
6. In the present solid-state generator, induced output flux
(
4,c) is directed to oppose the permanent magnets (
1,2) not
the input flux source (
6, a) which is synthesising the virtual
motion of those magnets (
1,2) by it’s magnetising action on core
3.
The present generator employs magnets as the source of
motive pressure driving the generator, since they are the entity being
opposed or “pushed against” by the opposing reaction induced by output
current which is powering a load. Experiments show that
high-quality permanent magnets can be magnetically “pushed against” in
this way for very long periods of time, before becoming demagnetised or
“spent”.
Fig.3 illustrates inducing representative flux
arrows (b) directed oppositely against induced representative flux
(
c). In materials typically used to form core
3,
fields flowing in mutually opposite directions tend to cancel each other,
just as positive and negative numbers of equal magnitude sum to zero.
On the remaining side of each hole, opposite the permanent magnet,
no mutual opposition takes place. Induced flux (
c) caused by
the generator load current remains present; however, inducing flux from
the permanent magnets (
b) is not present since no magnet is
present, on this side, to provide the necessary flux. This leaves
the induced flux (
c) encircling the hole, as well as input flux
(
a) from the input coils
6, continuing its path along the
core, on either side of each hole.
On the side of each hole in the
core where a magnet is present, action (
b) and reaction (
c)
magnetic flux substantially cancel each other, being directed in opposite
directions within the core. On the other side of each hole, where
no magnet is present, input flux (
a) and reaction flux (
c)
share a common direction. Magnetic flux adds together in these
zones, where induced magnetic flux (
c) aids the input flux
(
a). This is the reverse of typical generator action, where
induced flux (
c) is typically opposing the “input” flux originating
the induction.
Since the magnetic interaction is a combination of
magnetic flux opposition and magnetic flux acceleration, there is no
longer an overall magnetic braking or total opposition effect. The
braking and opposition is counterbalanced by a simultaneous magnetic
acceleration within the core. Since mechanical motion is absent,
the equivalent electrical effect ranges from idling, or absence of
opposition, to a strengthening and overall acceleration of the electrical
input signal (within coils
6). proper selection of the permanent
magnet (
1,2) material and flux density, core
3 material
magnetic characteristics, core hole pattern and spacing, and output medium
connection technique, create embodiments where the present generator will
display an absence of electrical loading at the input and/or an overall
amplification of the input signal. this ultimately causes less input
energy to be required in order to work the generator. Therefore, as
increasing amounts of energy are withdrawn from the generator as output
power performing useful work, decreasing amounts of energy are generally
required to operate it. This process continues, working against the
permanent magnets (
1,2) until they are demagnetised.
In an embodiment
of this invention,
Fig.4 illustrates a typical operating circuit
employing the generator of this invention. A square-wave input
signal from a transistor switching circuit, is applied at the input
terminals (
S), to the primary (
a) of a step-down transformer
11. The secondary winding (
b) of the input
transformer may be a single turn, in series with a capacitor
12 and
the generator
13 input coil (
c), forming a series resonant
circuit. The frequency of the applied square wave (
S) must
either match, or be an integral sub-harmonic of the resonant frequency of
this 3-element transformer-capacitor-inductor input circuit.
Generator
13 output winding (
d) is connected to
resistive load
L through switch
14. When switch
14 is closed, generated power is dissipated at
L, which is
any resistive load, for example, and incandescent lamp or resistive
heater.
Once input resonance is achieved, and the square-wave
frequency applied at
S is such that the combined reactive impedance
of total inductance (
b + c) is equal in magnitude to the opposing
reactive impedance of capacitance
12, the electrical phases of
current through, and voltage across, generator
13 input coil
(
c) will flow
90 degrees apart in resonant quadrature.
Power drawn from the square-wave input energy source applied to
S will now be at a minimum.
In this condition, the resonant
energy present at the generator input may be measured by connecting a
voltage probe across the test points (
v), situated across the
generator input coil, together with a current probe around point
(
I), situated in series with the generator input coil (
c).
The instantaneous vector product of these two measurements
indicates the energy circulating at the generator’s input, ultimately
shifting the permanent magnets’ fields in order to create useful
induction. This situation persists until the magnets are no longer
magnetised.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a
square (or other) wave may be applied directly to the generator input
terminals (
c) without the use of other components. While
this remains effective, advantageous re-generating effects may not be
realised to their fullest extent with such direct excitation. Use
of a resonant circuit, particularly with inclusion of a capacitor
12 as suggested, facilitates recirculation of energy within the
input circuit, generally producing efficient excitation and a reduction of
the required input power as loads are applied.
Another
device of this type comes from
Charles Flynn. The technique
of applying magnetic variations to the magnetic flux produced by a
permanent magnet is covered in detail in the patents of Charles Flynn
which are included in the Appendix. In his patent he shows
techniques for producing linear motion, reciprocal motion, circular motion
and power conversion, and he gives a considerable amount of description
and explanation on each, his main patent containing a hundred
illustrations. Taking one application at random: He states that a
substantial enhancement of magnetic flux can be obtained from the use of
an arrangement like this:
Here, a
laminated soft iron frame has a powerful permanent magnet positioned in
it’s centre and six coils are wound in the positions shown. The
magnetic flux from the permanent magnet flows around both sides of the
frame.
The full
patent details of this system from Charles Flynn are in the Appendix,
starting at page A - 338.
Lawrence Tseung has
recently produced a subtle design using very similar principles. He takes
a magnetic frame of similar style and inserts a permanent magnet in one of
the arms of the frame. He then applies sharp DC pulses to a coils wound on
one side of the frame and draws off energy from a coil wound on the other
side of the frame.
He shows three separate operating modes for the
devices as follows:
Lawrence
comments on three possible arrangements. The first on shown above is the
standard commercial transformer arrangement where there is a frame made
from insulated iron shims in order to cut down the "eddy" currents which
otherwise would circulate around inside the frame at right angles to the
useful magnetic pulsing which links the two coils on the opposite sides of
the frame. As is very widely known, this type of arrangement never has an
output power greater than the input power.
However, that
arrangement can be varied in several different ways. Lawrence has chosen
to remove a section of the frame and replace it with a permanent magnet as
shown in the diagram below. This alters the situation very considerably as
the permanent magnet causes a continuous circulation of magnetic flux
around the frame before any alternating voltage is applied to the input
coil. If the pulsing input power is applied in the wrong direction as
shown here, where the input pulses generate magnetic flux which opposes
the magnetic flux already flowing in the frame from the permanent magnet,
then the output is actually lower than it would have been without the
permanent magnet.
However, if the
input coil is pulsed so that the current flowing in the coil produces a
magnetic field which reinforces the magnetic field of the permanent magnet
then it is possible for the output power to exceed the input power. The
"Coefficient of Performance" or "COP" of the device is the amount of
output power divided by the amount of input power which the user has to
put in to make the device operate. In this instance the COP value can be
greater than one:
There is a
limitation to this as the amount of magnetic flux which any particular
frame can carry is limited by the material from which it is made. Iron is
the most common material for frames of this type and it has a very
definite saturation point. If the permanent magnet is so strong that it
causes saturation of the frame material before the input pulsing is
applied, then there can't be any effect at all from positive DC pulsing as
shown. This is just common sense but it makes it clear that the magnet
chosen must not be too strong for the size of the frame, and why that
should be.
As an example of this, one of the people replicating
Lawrence's design found that he did not get any power gain at all and so
he asked Lawrence for advice. Lawrence advised him to omit the magnet and
see what happened. He did this and immediately got the standard output,
showing that both his input arrangement and his output measuring system
both worked perfectly well. It then dawned on him that the stack of three
magnets which he was using in the frame were just too strong, so he
reduced the stack to just two magnets and immediately got a performance of
COP = 1.5 (50% more power output than the input power).
Richard Willis. On 28th May 2009 a European
Patent application was filed by Richard Willis, entitled "Electrical
Generator". During a TV interview, Richard stated that his design has
COP=3600.
Available
commercially from his Canadian company and sold under the name
"Magnacoster", early in 2010 his advertised pricing is US $4,200 for a
unit which has four separate 100 amp 12V outputs, giving a combined
maximum output power of 4.8 kilowatts. A larger unit is priced at US
$6,000 with four separate 24V outlets providing a 9 kilowatt combined
output. The house-powering unit which is supplied with a 12 kilowatt
inverter to provide mains AC power and which gets connected direct to the
circuit-breaker box of the house, is priced at US $15,000. One
particularly interesting statement made by Richard is that the output
power is at a higher frequency than the input power. He suggests that the
electrical signal bounces around inside the device, multiplying the power
as it goes and giving the output higher voltage and higher current than
the input. The design of the device is most interesting as it is very
simple. It is shown in his patent application WO 2009065219, a somewhat
reworded copy of which is included in the Appendix to this eBook.
Richard's web site is
here.
The circuit
is based on a pulsed coil and two magnets and it has a number of unusual
features. The power supply is unusual:
Richard
arranges it like this so that either DC or AC can be used as the input
power and so he follows that arrangement with a diode bridge, followed by
two more diodes as shown here:
This is an
interesting arrangement when the input is DC as it would be a more usual
arrangement to have the diode bridge only in the AC input section and not
included for the DC input where it just drops the input voltage and wastes
electrical power unnecessarily. Still, that is the way it is shown in the
patent, so that is the way it is shown here.
The input power
supply is fed to an electromagnet but is converted into a pulsed supply by
the use of an interrupter switch which may be mechanical or electronic:
As can be
seen, the arrangement is particularly simple although it is an unusual
configuration with the electromagnet core touching one of the permanent
magnets and not the other. The magnet and electromagnet poles are
important, with the permanent magnet North poles pointing towards the
electromagnet and when the electromagnet is powered up, it's South pole is
towards the North pole of the permanent magnet which it is touching. This
means that when the electromagnet is powered up, it's magnetic field
strengthens the magnetic field of that magnet.
There is a
one-centimetre gap at the other end of the electromagnet and it's North
pole opposes the North pole of the second permanent magnet. With this
arrangement, each electromagnet pulse has a major magnetic effect on the
area between the two permanent magnets. In the diagram shown above, just a
few turns of wire are shown on the electromagnet core. This is just for
clarity and it does not mean that only a few turns should be used. The
strength of the magnets, the electromagnet wire thickness and number of
turns are related to each other and experimentation will be needed to
determine the best combination.
The energy take-off from this
device is shown here:
Richard states
that the input power can be anywhere from under one volt to one million
volts while the input current can be anything from under one amp to one
million amps, so he clearly envisages a major range of constructions and
components. The core material for the electromagnet is specified as
ferrite, mumetal, permalloy, cobalt or any non-permeable metal material.
It seems likely that iron filings embedded in epoxy resin is likely to be
a suitable material as it can respond very rapidly to sharp pulses and it
seems clear that in common with almost every other similar free-energy
device, the rapidity of rise and fall of the power pulse is of major
importance. Having said that, Richard states that the frequency of pulses
in the output section is greater than the frequency of pulses applied to
the input section. From this it seems likely that the device should be
tuned so that the input pulses should be at a lower harmonic of the
resonant frequency of the device. It is worth reading Richard's full
description which is near the end of the Appendix.
A second
version of the circuit looks like a modification of the John Bedini pulsed
rotor battery charging circuit with a rotor substituting for the second
permanent magnet:
This enhances
the operation of the Bedini device by providing an initial magnetic field
in the coil.
Stephan W. Leben. There is an
interesting video posted on YouTube
here where a
contributor whose ID is "TheGuru2You" posts some really interesting
information. He starts with a circuit produced by Alexander Meissner in
1913 and shown here:
Stephan states that
he has built this circuit and can confirm that it is a self-resonating
powering circuit. Once a twelve volt supply is connected to the input
terminals, the transistor switches on powering the transformer which feeds
repeating pulses to the base of the transistor, sustaining the
oscillations. The rate of oscillation is governed by the capacitor marked
"
C" in the circuit diagram above and the coil across which it is
connected.
Interestingly, if
that capacitor is replaced by an electrolyser (which is effectively a
capacitor with the water forming the dielectric between the plates of the
capacitor), then the frequency of the circuit automatically adjusts to the
resonant frequency of the electrolyser and it is suggested that this
system should be able to perform electrolysis of water requiring only a
low power input and automatically slaving itself to the varying resonant
frequency of the electrolyser. As far as I am aware, this has not been
confirmed, however, the voltage pulsers designed by John Bedini do slave
themselves automatically to their load, whether it is a battery being
charged, or an electrolyser performing electrolysis.
Stephan then
progresses considerably further by combining Alexander Meissner's circuit
with Charles Flynn's magnetic amplification circuit. Here the transformer
is switched to become the Charles Flynn oscillator winding plus a second
winding placed alongside for magnetic coupling as shown here:
The transistor
stage is self-oscillating as before, the transformer now being made up of
the red and blue coil windings. This oscillation also oscillates the Flynn
magnetic frame, producing an electrical output via the black coils at each
end of the magnetic frame. This is, of course, an oscillating, or AC
output, so the four diodes produce a full-wave rectified (pulsating) DC
current which is smoothed by the capacitor connected to the diodes.
This circuit can be started by touching a 12 volt source very
briefly to the output terminals on the right. An alternative is to wave a
permanent magnet close to the red and blue coils as that generates a
voltage in the coils, quite sufficient to start the system oscillating and
so, becoming self-sustaining. Stephan suggests using the piezo crystal
from a lighter and connecting it to an extra coil to produce the necessary
voltage spike when the coil is held close to the blue coil and the lighter
mechanism clicked.
A surprising problem is how to switch the
device off since it runs itself. To manage this, Stephan uses a two-pole
On/Off switch to disconnect the output and prevent it supplying the input
section of the circuit. To show whether or not the circuit is running, a
Light-Emitting Diode ("LED") is connected across the output and the
current flowing through it limited by a resistor of about 820 ohms.
In the video, this circuit is shown as powering a standard
off-the-shelf inverter which has a 12 volt DC input and an AC mains
output. This indicates that a circuit of this type is capable of providing
substantial output current. In the video diagram, the input current is
shown as being about 0.2 amps. Anyone wanting to try replicating this
device will need to experiment with the number of turns in each coil and
the wire diameter needed to carry the desired current. Stephan states that
you need to have at least twice the weight of copper in the (black) output
coils as there is in the (blue) input coils in order to allow the device
produce excess power. The first page of the Appendix shows the current
carrying capacity for each of the standard wire diameters commonly offered
for sale. As this is a fairly recently released circuit, I am not aware of
any replications of it at this time.
Floyd Sweet’s
VTA. Another device in the same category of permanent magnets
with energised coils round it (and very limited practical information
available) was produced by Floyd Sweet. The device was dubbed
“Vacuum Triode Amplifier” or “VTA” by Tom Bearden and the name has stuck,
although it does not appear to be a particularly accurate description.
The device was capable of producing more than 1 kW of output power
at 120 Volts, 60 Hz and is self-powered. The output is energy which
resembles electricity in that it powers motors, lamps, etc. but as the
power increases through any load there is a temperature drop instead of
the expected temperature rise.
When it became known that he had
produced the device he became the target of serious threats, some of which
were delivered face-to-face in broad daylight. It is quite possible
that the concern was due to the device tapping zero-point energy, which
when done at high currents opens a whole new can of worms. One of
the observed characteristics of the device was that when the current was
increased, the measured weight of the apparatus reduced by about a pound.
While this is hardly new, it suggests that space/time was being
warped. The German scientists at the end of WWII had been
experimenting with this (and killing off the unfortunate people who were
used to test the system) - if you have considerable perseverance, you can
read up on this in Nick Cook’s inexpensive book “The Hunt for Zero-Point”
ISBN 0099414988.
Floyd found that the weight of his device reduced
in proportion to the amount of energy being produced. But he found
that if the load was increased enough, a point was suddenly reached where
a loud sound like a whirlwind was produced, although there was no movement
of the air. The sound was heard by his wife Rose who was in another
room of their apartment and by others outside the apartment. Floyd
did not increase the load further (which is just as well as he would
probably have received a fatal dose of radiation if he had) and did not
repeat the test. In my opinion, this is a dangerous device and I
personally, would not recommend anyone attempting to build one. It
should be noted that a highly lethal 20,000 Volts is used to ‘condition’
the magnets and the principles of operation are not understood at this
time. Also, there is insufficient information to hand to provide
realistic advice on practical construction details.
On one
occasion, Floyd accidentally short-circuited the output wires.
There was a bright flash and the wires became covered with frost.
It was noted that when the output load was over 1 kW, the magnets and
coils powering the device became colder, reaching a temperature of 20
degrees Fahrenheit below room temperature. On one occasion, Floyd
received a shock from the apparatus with the current flowing between the
thumb and the small finger of one hand. The result was an injury
akin to frostbite, causing him considerable pain for at least two weeks.
Observed characteristics of the device include:
1. The
output voltage does not change when the output power is increased from
100W to 1 kW. 2. The device needs a continuous load of at least 25W. 3.
The output falls in the early hours of the morning but recovers later on
without any intervention. 4. A local earthquake can stop the device
operating. 5. The device can be started in self-powered mode by briefly
applying 9 Volts to the drive coils. 6. The device can be stopped by
momentary interruption of the power to the power coils. 7. Conventional
instruments operate normally up to an output of 1 kW but stop working
above that output level, with their readings showing zero or some other
spurious reading.
Information is limited, but it appears that
Floyd’s device was comprised of one or two large ferrite permanent magnets
(grade 8, size 150 mm x 100 mm x 25 mm) with coils wound in three planes
mutually at right angles to each other (i.e. in the x, y and z axes).
The magnetisation of the ferrite magnets is modified by suddenly
applying 20,000 volts from a bank of capacitors (510 Joules) or more to
plates on each side of it while simultaneously driving a 1 Amp 60 Hz (or
50 Hz) alternating current through the energising coil. The
alternating current should be at the frequency required for the output.
The voltage pulse to the plates should be applied at the instant
when the ‘A’ coil voltage reaches a peak. This needs to be initiated
electronically.
It is said that the powering of the plates causes
the magnetic material to resonate for a period of about fifteen minutes,
and that the applied voltage in the energising coil modifies the
positioning of the newly formed poles of the magnet so that it will in
future, resonate at that frequency and voltage. It is important
that the voltage applied to the energising coil in this ‘conditioning’
process be a perfect sinewave. Shock, or outside influence can
destroy the ‘conditioning’ but it can be reinstated by repeating the
conditioning process. It should be noted that the conditioning
process may not be successful at the first attempt but repeating the
process on the same magnet is usually successful. Once conditioning
is completed, the capacitors are no longer needed. The device then
only needs a few milliwatts of 60 Hz applied to the input coil to give up
to 1.5 kW at 60 Hz at the output coil. The output coil can then
supply the input coil indefinitely.
The conditioning process
modifies the magnetisation of the ferrite slab. Before the process
the North pole is on one face of the magnet and the South pole on the
opposite face. After conditioning, the South pole does not stop at
the mid point but extends to the outer edges of the North pole face,
extending inwards from the edge by about 6 mm. Also, there is a
magnetic ‘bubble’ created in the middle of the North pole face and the
position of this ‘bubble’ moves when another magnet is brought near it.
The conditioned slab has three coil windings:
1.
The ‘A’ coil is wound first around the outer perimeter, each turn being
150 + 100 + 150 + 100 = 500 mm long (plus a small amount caused by the
thickness of the coil former material). It has about 600 turns of
28 AWG (0.3 mm) wire.
2. The ‘B’ coil is wound across the
100 mm faces, so one turn is about 100 + 25 + 100 + 25 = 250 mm (plus a
small amount for the former thickness and clearing coil ‘A’). It
has between 200 and 500 turns of 20 AWG (1 mm) wire.
3. The
‘C’ coil is wound along the 150 mm face, so one turn is 150 + 25 + 150 +
25 = 350 mm (plus the former thickness, plus clearance for coil ‘A’ and
coil ‘B’). It has between 200 and 500 turns of 20 AWG (1 mm) wire
and should match the resistance of coil ‘B’ as closely as possible.
Coil ‘
A’ is the input coil. Coil ‘
B’ is the
output coil. Coil ‘
C’ is used for the conditioning and for
the production of gravitational effects.
Much of
this information and photographs of the original device can be found on
this
website
where a paper by Michael Watson gives much practical information.
For example, he states that an experimental set up which he made, had the
‘A’ coil with a resistance of 70 ohms and an inductance of 63 mH, the ‘B’
coil, wound with 23 AWG wire with a resistance of 4.95 ohms and an
inductance of 1.735 mH, and the ‘C’ coil, also wound with 23 AWG wire,
with a resistance of 5.05 ohms and an inductance of 1.78 mH.
Recently, some additional information on Floyd Sweet's device, has
been released publicly by an associate of Floyd's who goes just by his
first name of "Maurice" and who, having reached the age of seventy has
decided that it is time to release this additional information. Maurice
says:
After observing the comments made over
the past year regarding the Sweet-VTA Energy Device, I decided to "come
out of the woodwork" and explain what basically is NOT known regarding
Floyd Sweet ("Sparky") and his energy device.
Keep in mind that I
am 70 years old, quite computer illiterate, my background Being mainly
Political Science (Graduate Degree); consulting with State Legislatures;
Mental Health (former Executive Director of five clinics); and, acquiring
Venture Capital for High Tech. Equipment (such as medical equipment) and
various Projects. My story is very unusual and strange, but, nevertheless
TRUE! At my age I have no one to impress with what I am about to tell you.
My only interest is to correct error where possible and to make certain
information known!
Remember, that I have never had any education
in electronics. This was a real advantage for me because I did not have
any electrical principles which I had to UN-LEARN in anything that Floyd
told us. Unfortunately, one of my brothers who trained for 35 years in
electronics was "blown away" when Floyd told him that "he needed to
reverse the concepts which he was taught about the action of an electron
and treat it like it was positive". Therefore, for Sparky's modelling,
electrons were flowing and acting in the opposite direction to what was
normally modelled by a trained physicist. See what I mean? The Dean of the
School of Science of MIT that verified that Sparky had an MSEE degree and
came third in his class of more than two hundred.
Hopefully
sincere researchers will be able to obtain some useful information in what
I attempt to explain in the future that will help them to duplicate what
Floyd had. In this respect, one day after Floyd had repeatedly asked me:
"What is this device Maurice?" and I repeatedly gave him the wrong answer,
saying that it was an energy device, I finally realised that what was
important to him was that he considered the device to be a TIME MACHINE -
his emphasis was NOT on the energy. He told me never to forget that the
most important thing was that the device was a "Time Machine".
Maurice draws attention to the fact that Floyd Sweet graduated as
an M.S.E.E. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and his
thesis "Dynamics of Magnetic Domains" is considered by the M.I.T.
scientific community to be unparalleled in magnetic concepts. He received
the coveted Dean's Award for his scientific research and his academic
level in Electrical Engineering achievement ranks third in the history of
the M.I.T. School of Science. He has an extraordinary talent in the area
of Engineering Mathematics not to mention his concept of electromagnetic
and related electrical phenomena and understanding of abstract intangibles
needed to predict the unforeseen.
Maurice says: In about 1988
John, who my two brothers and I were involved with in the High Tech field
realised that my brother, who was a Doctor (Doctor brother), was
interested in negative energy devices for the treatment of the physical
body (similar to Rife/Tesla Frequency Machines). John had formerly been
employed at NASA with Floyd Sweet. John lived in California close to Floyd
(Sherman Oaks).
My doctor brother and I were introduced to Floyd
by John and we waited patiently for the time when we could see the VTA
device. We saw it on the table at his house during various visits but it
was not operating. Floyd was like many inventors who played games with
you. Each time we would drive 13 hours to see him thinking we could see
the device operating, but he would have some excuse for not turning it on,
or he would just ignore the purpose of our visit.
On one visit, I
looked over at Floyd and he was “showing off” his Barium Ferrite bar
magnet. The magnet was approximately 1/2” thick, 7” long and 3” wide. He
had a small piece of metal that was standing on the top of the magnet at a
45 degree angle. As I recall, he claimed that the 45 degree angle was
needed in the treatment of the magnet so that it could capture Scalar
waves. The magnets were mainly functioning as a “gate” for the Scalar
waves. Additionally, if you placed a piece of thin “flexible” (ribbon
type) metal flat on the top of the magnet, the middle of the “ribbon
metal” would be “sucked down” flat at the middle of the magnet and both
ends of the “ribbon metal” would be bowed-up at each end of the magnet.
Also, I came to understand from another inventor that we introduced later
on to Floyd that the “figure eight” design (flux flow?) on the top of the
magnet played an important part in the functioning of the magnet - I don’t
really know about the concept and can’t relay any additional information.
On another visit, Floyd demonstrated the flowing flux of the
magnet. He had a TV monitor and he would place the magnet by the screen
and you could see all the beautiful colours of the flux as it moved across
the monitor screen. My electronics brother told me that Floyd had told him
that he had a way of treating the magnet by calibrating the Scalar wave
angle coming in using the TV monitor. A side note is that Floyd delighted
in telling people, when they asked how he treated his magnets, they should
get the magnets real hot first. This apparently “screwed up” the magnetism
and he enjoyed doing this for some weird reason!
Finally, after 12
trips across the California Desert, Floyd agreed to show us the Device in
operation. In his defence, Floyd did claim that on some earlier planned
demonstrations that his magnets had been “pulverized” by artificial
earthquakes coming up through Mexico. He designed some type of buffer in
the Device that eliminated the problem, but, it was an on-going problem
for quite a period of time. This reminds me now that I must digress
because I need to tell you about the Government (or who?) involvement with
us.
When we first started to visit Floyd, our phones were all
“tapped” - I do not know by whom. My electronics brother worked full-time
with the Air National Guard and his specialty was electronic Security,
Crypto, etc. tied in with SAC bases in our area and the surrounding
States. Additionally, he had set-up the “clean room” for the President of
the United States when he visited our State. I mention this because even
my electronics brother was doubtful in the beginning that we were all
being monitored. On one occasion, my doctor brother had his complete prior
telephone conversation played back to him when he answered the phone
(twenty minutes later) - I think it was probably some type of “screw-up”
by whoever was monitoring our phones. My biggest complaint was the
consistent early morning 3am call and then a “hang-up” when you answered -
for what reason I don't know other than for harassment purposes. I give
you the above information so that you can understand the seriousness of
what we were involved with.
Floyd’s Energy Device was mainly three
things:
(1) It was a healing device - negative electricity -
negative time. In theory, you could re-set the template in your DNA with
this energy source and therefore cleanse the body of all impurities that
your ancestors had acquired over time. Additionally, you could kill
current disease (virus/bacteria) in the body by using the right
frequencies, and this did not disturb any other body cells. This is why
Floyd needed my doctor brother to help him arrive at the proper medical
protocol for using his technology. Additionally, if you note in the
Payroll Expenses attachment of this e-mail, a one-line item of expenditure
is for AIDS-related materials in which Floyd and my doctor brother had a
real interest. My doctor brother had an agreement with Floyd to build
three medical interferometers which would all have a noble gas plasma
inside them. I actually witnessed one of these devices in operation. At
the end of the (approximately 20 inch long) tube-like structure you could
feel a pulsing being emitted at the end of the tube on to whichever part
of the body you wanted treated. My doctor brother had ordered two
Interferometers from Floyd which were about 4 feet long.
(2) The
VTA energy device is probably the world’s worst weapon. Floyd claimed that
like Nicola Tesla, you could cause “artificial earthquakes” - besides
destroying buildings. As I understood from people in the intelligence
world, which we de-briefed after we saw the device operate, three
countries have what is called the “Tesla Cannon”; Russia, America and I
never found out who the third country was. As mentioned earlier, this
energy source is what disabled Floyd’s VTA equipment over many months
until he got his “buffer” built into his device. Further, this is why the
Federal Government had such an interest in what we were doing with Floyd
during the time we spent with him.
(3) The device was an Energy
source for the home (could change negative energy to positive energy). It
was also an energy source for the car and many other purposes. The cost of
building one of these energy devices was only about US $200.00 -
incredible!
Description of the VTA device:
On
the day that we finally got to see the device operating, my doctor brother
and I had finally convinced my electronics brother to accompany us to
Sherman Oaks, California to see the demonstration. My doctor brother and I
had made ALL the preliminary trips to see Floyd minus our electronics
brother because he was literally a “doubting Thomas”, being heavily
involved in the electronics field and full of Maxwell’s Theories of
electronics, etc. Yes, you could say that he was a traditional electronics
person. But, for this reason, we needed my electronics brother to be our
DEBUNKER in case the device was not what it was portrayed to be. We had
one other witness "Gary", an associate of mine who was to bring in the
venture capital funding if the device proved to be as good as claimed.
The day when we witnessed the VTA device operating is a day which
I shall never forget. To actually see a device working, which cost only
$200 dollars to make and which could create all the clean energy you would
ever need, was “awesome”. I know I have been “altered” ever since knowing
that such a device existed. Now for a brief description of the Device:
These are not exact measurements but only approximations. The
device was on what I believe to be "Plexi glass" (acrylic). Nothing was
hidden. You could see everything, top and bottom through the plastic. The
Plexi glass structure was approximately 18” square. We were allowed to
pick-up the device and carry it around Floyd’s living room so you could
see that there were no other electrical connections to it.
On top
of the Plexi glass case there were three toroidal coils wound with thin
windings of varnished copper wire. There were two barium ferrite bar
magnets (approx. 7”x 3”x 1/2”). Present was a volt meter which displayed
120v when the device was turned on. Also, there was an ampere meter which
measured the electrical currents flowing when Floyd switched different
things on-and-off during the demonstration. The items used for load
demonstration included the burner part of the stove, a hair dryer, a fan,
and five one-hundred watt globe lights. The fascinating thing to me about
the light demo was that the lights had a glow like the overhead lights in
your kitchen - a very soft, COOL appearance. Not the look of a traditional
bright light bulb such as you have in your lamp on a traditional night
stand.
I forgot to mention that the device was started by
attaching a 9-volt battery which, I understand, started the magnetic flux
in motion. Floyd would then connect the “pigtail” on the device and it
would become just one circular energy unit.
As Floyd put more load
on the device, the ambient temperature around the device (coils) would
start to get lower. Additionally, depending on how much load you added,
the device would start to lose some of its weight and you then had
levitation beginning to take place. I should note at this point that on
one meeting with Floyd, his wife Rose, used some expletives when telling
how one day, Floyd kept adding more-and-more load to the device and he
almost “brought down” the Apartment Complex he lived in at Sherman Oaks.
He turned off the equipment, went out on his patio and pretended that it
was a California Earthquake! His neighbours never did know what he had in
his apartment. In this respect, I never did find out what the big piece of
equipment was in his bedroom. It literally stretched from the ceiling to
the floor. It was so heavy that the floor was bowed-in and sunken and that
“big sucker” had a growling noise when it was on - I never did find out
what it was. It was big like some kind of transformer.
The
Rest of The Story:
You are probably wondering what the article
on Ron Brandt is about. It’s a long story, but after I moved Ron and his
laboratory all the way from the mouth of Zion's National Park to
“someplace” Oregon to hide him out - he was using “Tachyon Beams" with his
medical equipment and after only a couple of minutes the “Black
Helicopters” would show up - soooo at my doctor brother’s request I moved
Ron to Oregon. At the time I thought Ron was a “real flake” because when I
helped him forward his mail from a small town in Southern Utah, he asked
me how to spell the word “electric” so he could put in the full address of
“Brandt Electric”. Further, Ron said he was only here on this Earth until
2012 - It was now 1987-88 - and then he had to leave to go to another
planet! I now wanted to shoot my doctor brother who got me into this whole
moving-Ron thing! My doctor brother told me that Ron had to move fast
because Ron had told him that an earthquake was coming in the next few
days - Right!
Well, guess what happened a few days later? The
largest earthquake in many years in that particular location took place
and it even wiped out the hot springs at the Resorts along the Virgin
River which runs through Zion's National Park and through the small town
of Virgin where Ron lived. I since found out that Ron had invented
earthquake equipment along with Philo T. Farnsworth’s (Inventor of
Television) grandson and six months ahead, they had actually predicted the
previous great earthquake in California and their prediction was off by
only six minutes! The Government is insisting that they want the
equipment, so that is one of the reasons for everyone “hiding out”.
Now, why am I giving you all this preliminary information
regarding Ron Brandt? Well it seems that Ron has a Magnet Motor which
weighs only 75 pounds and which can generate power equivalent to that of a
300 horsepower internal combustion engine. Also, the motor can be a
retro-fit in any existing car without the need to design a whole new car.
This is the connection I will explain later regarding Ron who could not
even spell “electric” and Floyd who was placed 3rd in all the inventions
to ever come out of MIT - All I can say is “WOW”!
EVENTS
SURROUNDING FLOYD’S DEATH:
I will now leave it up to you to
decide whether or not Floyd died of natural causes or was “taken out” by
some person, group, or some Government.
In the summer of 1994, my
doctor brother suddenly “passed out” at one of our Venture Capital
meetings and was rushed to the hospital. After an MRI of his head, it was
discovered that he had a brain tumour and it was of the worst kind (very
fast growing). This seemed impossible as my doctor brother had always
monitored his body daily as he did an occasional experiment on himself
with certain medicines. By 11th November 1994, my doctor brother had died.
He told us prior to death that “they” (whoever "they" were) had succeeded
in placing the fastest growing cancer tumour into his brain - How? - I
have no idea! I never did find out. What is important to the free-energy
field was that my doctor brother was in daily contact with Floyd and his
Associates regarding the energy devices. I was not that important and
basically only accompanied my doctor brother to meetings and kind of “got
lost in the woodwork”. Intellectually, I really was not a threat to
anyone. I was only there at meetings to help acquire venture capital.
On the very day that my doctor brother died, my electronics
brother and I were at the home of John, (Floyd’s Associate from NASA) who
for some strange reason had followed my brothers and I to our home city
where we lived, bought a home and took up residence there. We did not
complain as he was our go-between with Floyd. But the move still seemed
strange to me. The reason my electronics brother and I were with John is
that John had arranged a conference call with Floyd and us, to see if
there was a possibility for Floyd to make some type of energy device which
could power the magnet motor that Ron Brandt had. My brothers and I had
all the contractual rights to Ron’s Magnet Motor which could be used in
any car. I thought to myself that now I can really find out how “real” Ron
(who could not even spell “electric”) was when I matched him up with Floyd
from MIT. I could not believe what I heard as Floyd and Ron conversed at
the highest electronic levels - "who the 'hell' is Ron?" I thought. Floyd
agreed that he would have no problem doing the prototype for Ron’s Magnet
Motor to power the car.
Floyd mainly worked with my electronics
brother on this project as Floyd needed old vacuum tubes which my
electronics brother had to acquire for the device and my electronics
brother was a real “bench” person which Floyd seemed to favour over
academic Electrical Engineers.
During the Spring of 1995, while
Floyd was working on our energy device for the car, John (from NASA) and
Floyd were elated that there was supposed to be an announcement from the
White House regarding Floyd’s VTA Energy Device. It seems that Floyd was a
past friend of Senator John Glen (the former NASA astronaut) and he had
given Glen one of the energy devices. Unfortunately, Glen gave the device
to the Department of Energy, who, according to Floyd, passed the device on
to General Motors. Floyd was furious and as I understood Floyd was then
going to sue GM for two hundred million dollars. As far as I know Floyd
never got the device back. I will always remember the extreme
disappointment on the faces of Floyd and John when they realised that the
trip to Washington DC for the announcement, was not going to take place.
In July 1995, Floyd let us know that the Energy Device was
finished and we were to take possession of it. Floyd now lived in Desert
Palms, California and that is where we would pick it up. After much
thought, we decided we better not board a plane with the device as we were
not sure of any magnetic effects on the instruments of the plane in having
it transported - it was new technology which still had many questions to
be answered. Instead, we decided to drive our car to Desert Palms and
bring the device back ourselves.
Floyd called us the day before we
were to leave and asked us if he could keep the device for a couple of
extra days. He said he had “someone” coming (I thought he said China) and
wanted to show them the device. We said ok, we would plan to pick it up
when he was done.
A day later, at about 7:00 am Pacific time,
there was a frantic call from Floyd’s wife Violet (Floyd’s wife Rose had
died and he had re-married) to my electronics brother’s house. My
electronics brother was not at home and my sister-in-law, his wife, took
the call from Violet. Violet was very traumatised when she told my
sister-in-law that Floyd was dead. There was a lot of shouting going on in
the background. The people who were there claimed they were from the FBI
and that Floyd’s equipment belonged to them. Rose was extremely confused
with the death of Floyd and people she had never seen before taking all
the equipment out of her house to waiting vans. She asked my sister-in-law
what to do and my sister-in-law had NO idea as she was not aware of what
my brothers and I had going on!
Violet also said that about 5:00
pm the previous night, two men whom she had never seen before, showed up
to see Floyd. Floyd was with them for a period of time and then they left.
At about 8:00 pm, Floyd was having a cup of coffee when he fell out of the
chair on to the floor. She called for an ambulance and when they arrived
they would not let her ride with them. Violet was 75 years old and didn’t
drive. About twenty minutes later the ambulance called back to Violet and
told her they didn’t think Floyd was going to “make it”!! As I understand
it, Floyd’s body was cremated. How soon afterwards, I don’t know. The end
result for my brothers and I is that ALL of our energy equipment that
Floyd made for us was taken - By Whom??
Who were the two men who
met with Floyd a few hours before his death? Was anything put in Floyd’s
coffee by these men? Violet said she had never seen them before and they
seemed strange! Why could Violet not go with her husband in the ambulance?
I have seen it happen many times when family is allowed, especially where
age is concerned!
How did the FBI (if that is who they were) know
that Floyd was dead and show up in the very early morning (about 6:00 am)
just hours after he died late at night?
YOU BE THE JUDGE - ALL I
KNOW IS THAT ALL OF OUR ENERGY DEVICES (MEDICAL AND CAR-MAGNET MOTOR) ARE
GONE!!! WHERE ARE THEY AND WHO ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING THEM ??
Here are some of the known facts
about Floyd's energy device:
The
invention is a unified-field device and so combines both electromagnetic
and gravitational effects in the same unit. For a tiny power input of just
0.31 milliwatt, the unit produces over 500 watts of output power, which is
an energy gain of more than 1,500,000. The prototype, has no moving parts,
is about 6" x 6" x 4" in size and taps an inexhaustible source of energy.
To date, up to one kilowatt of power has been produced in actual tests
which required only tiny input power to make the device operate.
Our normal day-to-day energy is "positive energy". The energy
produced by Floyd's device is "negative energy" but in spite of this, it
powers ordinary equipment, producing light and heat as normal. A device
like this has to have a major impact on the world as we know it, because:
1. It can be easily built. The components are quite ordinary and
the cost of the materials in the demonstration prototype was only a few
hundred US dollars and it was constructed in just a few hours, using
simple tools and equipment.
2. The test results are so impressive
that there can be no question of errors of measurement when the energy
gain is of the order of 1,500,000 times.
3. It demonstrates with
laboratory precision that the 'law' of Conservation of Energy does not
appear to apply during the operation of this device, which is something
which most scientists have difficulty in accepting.
The device has
very high performance. When a 1-milliwatt 60Hz sine wave is fed into it,
the out put powers 500 watts of standard mains-voltage light bulbs,
producing both heat and light. The device has a positive-feedback loop so
it's gain is depends directly on the output load and the input power
remains unchanged. So to increase the output power, all that is necessary
is to connect extra light bulbs or equipment across the output.
When a motor was connected in addition to the light bulbs, the
motor ran perfectly well under load and the light bulbs remained as bright
as ever. Because it is a "cold electricity" device, the wires feeding the
load can be very much smaller in diameter than would be normal for the
load and these wires run cold at all times. When the power hits the
resistance of the filaments of the light bulbs, it converts into
conventional "hot electricity" and the filaments perform in exactly the
same way as they do when powered by "hot electricity".
In 1988, Floyd produced a paper which he
considered to be very important. The following text is an attempt to
reproduce the content his highly mathematical style of presentation. If
you are not into complicated mathematical presentations, then just move on
past and don't worry about the following technical material, or
alternatively, take a quick skim through it and don't bother with the
maths. Floyd says:
What is thought
of as "empty space" actually contains almost everything in the universe.
It is home to all kinds of invisible energy fields and is seething with
all kinds of very real forces.
Every kind of matter produces an
energy field and these energy fields interact with each other in many
complicated ways, producing all sorts of additional effects. These energy
fields are the "stuff" of space, or as it is sometimes described, "the
virtual vacuum". Space is packed full of all sorts of things but because
it does not contain air, we tend to think that there is nothing at all in
it. Most people think that "vacuum" means "without air" but when
scientists speak of space as "the vacuum" they do not mean that at all,
and they use the word "vacuum" to describe to describe (loosely speaking)
the place which is between the stars and planets of the universe, and
Floyd refers to that vast place as "the vacuum", so please don't think
that it has anything to do with air, as it definitely doesn't.
Floyd says: We all think that we know what light is, but the
reality is that a particle of light is nothing more than a large
interference in the electromagnetic field. Unless it interacts with matter
or with another field, any electromagnetic field with not be changed in
any way by the vacuum. Electromagnetic fields are a fundamental part of
the structure of the vacuum itself. The whole universe is permeated by a
constant magnetic field. That field is made up of countless numbers of
North and South pole magnets in a completely random scatter.
Einstein has pointed out that E = mC2 which is one way
of saying that energy and matter are interchangeable (or are two different
faces of the same thing). The energy everywhere in the universe is so
great that new particles of matter pop into existence and drop back into
their energy form many trillions of times per second. Actually, they exist
for such a very short time that calling them "particles" is not really
appropriate, so perhaps "virtual particles" might be a better description.
However, if we generate a moving magnetic field, it alters the
random nature of this energy in the tiny part of the vacuum where we
happen to be, and the vacuum energy becomes much less random and allows a
very large amount of vacuum energy to be drawn into our equipment and do
what we think of as "useful work" - producing heat and light, powering
motors and vehicles, etc. This was proved in laboratory experiments during
the week of 19th June 1988 and it is the underlying operating principle of
my "Phase-Conjugated Vacuum Triode" device.
The energy produced by
this device is "negative energy" which is the reverse of the energy with
which we are familiar. The spark caused by a short-circuit in a negative
energy system is excessively bright and cold and it produces a barely
audible hiss with no explosive force. Melting of wires does not occur and
this type of negative current passes through the human body with only the
feeling of a chill.
Wires which carry a lot of negative energy
remain cool at all times and so tiny wires can feed equipment with
hundreds of watts of power. This has been demonstrated in the laboratory
and the source of energy is unlimited as it is the virtual vacuum of space
itself.
The Nature of Space:
Space itself is the
ability to accommodate energy. Consider for a moment, the following
illustration:
A signal (energy) is transmitted from point "A" to point
"B" which are separated by a finite distance. Consider three periods of
time:
1. The signal is launched from point A.
2. The signal
resides in the space between point A and point B.
3. The signal arrives
at point B.
If 3. occurs simultaneously with 1. we say that the
signal has travelled at infinite velocity. If that were the case, then the
signal never resided in the intervening space and therefore there must be
no space between point A and point B and so both points A and B must be at
the same location. For real space to exist between the two points, it is
necessary that a signal moving between them has to get "lost" to both
points, that is, out of touch with both points for a finite period of
time.
Now, we know that for real space to exist between two
points, a signal passing between them has to move at a finite speed
between them and if it can't do that, then there can't be any space
between them. If space can't accommodate a signal passing between two
points, then it has no function and no reality. We are left then with the
only real space, the home of the real and virtual vacuum - space which
supports a finite, non-zero signal velocity.
A similar argument
applies to the impedance of space. A medium can only accommodate positive
energy if the medium resists it to a reasonable degree. Neither an
infinitely strong spring nor an infinitely weak spring can absorb energy
by being compressed. Neither an infinitely large mass nor an infinitely
small mass can absorb or accommodate energy imparted by a collision and
the same holds true for space. Energy cannot enter a space of zero
impedance any more than a force can bear on a mass of zero magnitude.
Similarly, energy could not enter space which has an infinite impedance.
It follows therefore, that real space must have:
1. Finite
propagation velocity and
2. Finite impedance.
Another way of
looking at this is instead of considering the actual speed of propagation
of a signal through space, to consider the length of time "t" which it
takes the signal to pass through that part of space. We can think of a
section of space as being, say, 1 nanosecond wide if it takes a signal 1
nanosecond to traverse it. That is, the energy or signal entering that
part of space, leaves it again 1 nanosecond later. Signal propagation
speed in the space in which we live is at the speed of light.
General Description of Energy Transfer:
Consider
energy flowing straight and level down a transmission line. The energy
does not "know" the width of the channel through which it is passing. If
the energy flow reaches a point where the conductivity of the channel
lowers but the size and shape of the channel remain the same, then not as
much energy can flow and some gets reflected back along the channel. The
energy current will not "know" if (a) the conductivity has changed or (b)
the geometry has changed. The energy current can change direction very
easily and so as far as it is concerned, the change caused by (a) is
equivalent to the change caused by (b).
The channel through which
the energy flows has width and height and the width divided by the height
is called the "aspect ratio" of the channel. Energy current has an aspect
ratio and if that aspect ratio is forced to change, then some of the
flowing energy will reflect so as to keep the overall aspect ratio
unchanged.
The aspect ratio of energy current is much like the
aspect ratio of space itself. While the aspect ratio of space itself can
change, it's fundamental velocity of "C" the speed of light in space can't
really change. That speed is just our way of visualising time delay when
energy resides in a region of space. Uniform space has only two
parameters:
(1) Aspect ratio and
(2) Time delay
Aspect
ratio defines the shape (but not the magnitude) of any energy flow which
enters a given region of space. Velocity or length define the time during
which that energy can be accommodated in a region of space.
Does an energy
flow travel unimpeded through an interface, or does a large part of it get
reflected? Space has quiet zones through which energy glides virtually
unreflected. It also has noisy zones where the energy current becomes
incoherent, bounces around and splits apart. These noisy zones in space
either have either rapidly changing geometry or rapidly changing
impedance.
Electromagnetic Energy:The rate of
flow of energy through a surface can be calculated using "E" the Electric
field, and "H" the Magnetic field intensity. The energy flow through space
is E x H per unit area (of it's "conduit's" cross-sectional area) and the
energy density is E x H / C where C is the speed of light in space.
If there happen to be two signals of exactly the same strength,
passing through each other in opposite directions in such a way that their
"H" fields cancel out, then if each has a strength of E/2 and H/2, the
energy density will be E x H / 2C and it will have the appearance of a
steady E-field. In the same way, if the E fields cancel out, the result
will appear to be a steady "H" field.
Modern physics is based on
the faulty assumption that electromagnetics contains two kinds of energy:
electric and magnetic. This leads to the Baroque view of physical reality.
Under that view, energy seems to be associated with the square of the
field intensity, rather than a more reasonable view that it is directly to
the field intensity. It is worth remembering that neither Einstein nor
most modern physicists were, or are, familiar with the concept of "energy
current" described here. However, their work still survives by ignoring
the energy current concept, scalar electromagnetics, the works of Tom
Bearden, kaluza-Klein and others who dispute Heaviside's interpretations
of Maxwell's equations.
The Fallacy of Displacement Current:
Conventional electromagnetic theory proposes that when an
electric current flows down a wire into a capacitor, it spreads out across
the plate, producing an electric charge on the plate which in turn, leads
to an electric field between the plates of the capacitor. The valuable
concept of continuity is then retained by postulating a displacement
current "after Maxwell". This current is a manipulation of the electric
field "E" between the plates of the capacitor, the field having the
characteristics of electric current, thus completing the flow of
electricity in the circuit. This approach allows Kirchoff's laws and other
valuable concepts to be retained even though superficially, it appears
that at the capacitor there is a break in the continuous flow of electric
current.
The flaw in this model appears when we notice that we
notice that the current entered the capacitor at only one point on the
capacitor plate. We are then left with the major difficulty of explaining
how the electric charge flowing down the wire suddenly distributes itself
uniformly across the entire capacitor plate at a velocity in excess of the
speed of light. This paradoxical situation is created by a flaw in the
basic model. Work in high-speed logic carried out by Ivor Catt has shown
that the model of lumped capacitance is faulty and displacement current is
an artefact of the faulty model. Since any capacitor behaves in a similar
way to a transmission line, it is no more necessary to postulate a
displacement current for the capacitor than it is necessary to do so for a
transmission line. The removal of "displacement current" from
electromagnetic theory has been based on arguments which are independent
of the classic dispute over whether the electric current causes the
electromagnetic field or vice versa.
The Motional
E-Field:Of all of the known fields; electric, magnetic,
gravitational and motional E-field, the only ones incapable of being
shielded against are the induced motional E-field and the gravitational
field. The nature of the motionally-induced electric field is quite
unique. In order to understand it more fully, we must start by discarding
a few misleading ideas. When magnetic flux is moved perpendicularly across
a conductor, an electromotive force ("e.m.f.") is electromagnetically
induced "within" the conductor. "Within" is a phrase which comes from the
common idea of comparing the flow of electric current within a wire to the
flow of water in a pipe. This is a most misleading comparison. The true
phenomenon taking place has little been thought of as involving the
production of a spatially- distributed electric field. We can see that the
model's origins are likely to have arising from the operation called "flux
cutting" which is a most misleading term. A better term "time-varying flux
modulation" does not imply any separation of lines of flux. Truly, lines
of flux always form closed loops and are expressed mathematically as line
integrals.
It is a fallacy to use the term "cutting" which implies
time-varying separation which does not in fact ever occur. A
motionally-induced E-field is actually created within the space occupied
by the moving magnetic flux described above. The field is there whether or
not a conductor is present in the space. In terms of a definition, we can
say that when magnetic flux of vector intensity B-bar is moved across a
region of space with vector velocity V-bar, an electromagnetically induced
electric field vector B x V appears in the space at right angles to both
B-bar and V-bar. Therefore:
E = B-bar x V-bar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
It is this field which is related to gravity and which is
virtually unshieldable. This field may be called the Motional E-field.
According to Tom Bearden, "It seems that the charged particles in the atom
act like tiny magnets and their motion in the space surrounding the atom
would create this motional E-field". The fields created by both the
positive and negative charges would cancel to some degree, but due to the
high orbital velocity of the negative electron relative to that of the
positive proton, the induced field of the electron would dominate the
resulting field. The field produced as a result of these charges would
vary in proportion to the inverse square of the distance as gravity does.
The field produced by the translational motion of the charges would vary
inversely as the cube of distance. This concept totally unites the
electromagnetic and gravitational field theories and accounts for the
strong and weak force within the atom.
Field Super-Position
and the Vacuum Triode:Electromagnetic induction with no
measurable magnetic field is not new. It is well known that in the space
surrounding a properly wound toroidal coil, there is no magnetic field.
This is due to the superposition of the fields. However, when alternating
current is surging through a transformer, an electric field surrounds it.
When we apply the principle of super-position to the vacuum triode, it
becomes more obvious how the device is operating.
The principle of
super-position states that "in order to calculate the resultant intensity
of superimposed fields, each field must be dealt with individually as
though the others were not present" The resultant is produced by the
vector addition of each of the fields considered on its own. Consider for
a moment, the construction of the triode which includes two bi-filar coils
located within the fields of two conditioned magnets. When the current in
one half of the conductors in the coils (that is, just one strand of the
twin windings in each coil) is increasing, both the current and the
magnetic field follow the right-hand rule. The resulting motional E-field
would be vertical to both and directed inwards. At the same time, the
current in the other strand of each winding is decreasing and both the
current and the magnetic field also follow the right-hand rule. The
resulting motional E-field is again vertical to both, and directed
inwards. So, the resultant combined field intensity is double the
intensity produced by either one of the conductors considered on its own.
Expressed mathematically, this is:
E = (B x V) + (-B x -V) or
E = 2 (B x V) . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)Where:
E is the
electric field intensity
B is the magnetic field intensity and
V is
the electron drift velocity
(B x V), the first term in the
equation, represents the flow of the magnetic field when the electrons are
moving in one direction, while (-B x -V), the second term in the equation,
defines the flow of the magnetic field when the electrons are moving in
the other direction. This indicates that field intensity is directly
proportional to the square of the current required by the load placed on
the device. This is due to it's proportional relationship with the virtual
value of the magnetic field which theory states is proportional to the
current. Electrometer readings were always close to parabolic, indicating
that the source was of infinite capacity. It was further determined
through experiment, that the magnetic field does not change with
temperature. Also, there is no reason yet identified, which would lead one
to believe that electron drift velocity changes. It has been found
remarkable that the vacuum triode runs approximately 20
oF below
ambient.
Induced Electromotive Force - Positive Energy: When an
e.m.f. ("electromotive force") is applied to a closed metallic circuit,
current flows. The e.m.f. along a closed path "C" in space is defined as
the work per unit charge (that is, W / Q) done by the electromagnetic
fields on a small test charge moved along path C. Since work is the line
integral of Force ("F"), the work per unit charge is the line integral of
force per unit charge (in Newtons per Coulomb) we have:
The scalar
product "(F/Q) x dtdl" is the product of (F/Q) x Cosθ x dl where θ denotes
the angle between the vectors F/Q and dl.
The electric force per
unit charge is the electric field intensity ("E") in volts per metre. The
magnetic force per unit charge is V x B where "V" denotes the velocity of
the test charge in metres per second and "B" denotes the magnetic flux
density in webers per metre squared. In terms of the smaller angle θ
between V and B, the cross product of V and B is a vector having the
magnitude VBSinθ. The direction of vector V x B is at right angles to the
plane which contains vectors V and B in accordance with the right-hand
rule (that is, V x B is in the direction of the thumb while the fingers
curl through the angle θ from V towards B). Since the total force per unit
charge is E + VB, the total e.m.f. in terms of the fields is:
It appears
from equation (4) that the e.m.f. depends on the forward velocity with
which the test charge moves along the path C. This, however, is not the
case. If V and dl in equation (4) have the same direction, then their
associated scalar product is zero. So, only the component of V which is
not aligned with dl (that is, with θ = 0), can contribute to the e.m.f.
This component has value only if the differential path length dl has a
sideways motion. So, V in equation (4), represents the sideways motion of
dl, if there is any. The fields E and B in equation (4) could well be
represented as functions of time as well as functions of the space
co-ordinates. In addition, the velocity V of each differential path length
dl, may vary with time. However, equation (4) correctly expresses the
e.m.f. or voltage drop along path C as a function of time. That component
of the e.m.f. consisting of the line integral V x B is the motional
E-field since it has value only when path C is ,moving through a magnetic
field, traversing lines of magnetic flux. For stationary paths, there is
no motional E-field and the voltage drop is simply the integral of the
electric field "E". Devices which separate charges, generate e.m.f.s and a
familiar example of this is a battery which utilises chemical forces to
separate charge. Other examples include the heating of a thermocouple,
exposure of a photovoltaic cell to incident light or the rubbing together
of different material to produce electrostatic charge separation. Electric
fields are also produced by time-varying magnetic fields. This principle
is already exploited extensively in the production of electrical power by
the utility companies.
The line integral of electric field
intensity "E" around any closed path "C" equals -dφ/dt where φ represents
the magnetic flux over any surface "S" having the closed path "C" as it's
contour. The positive side of the surface S and the direction of the line
integral around contour C, are related by the right-hand rule (the curled
fingers are oriented so as to point around the loop in the direction of
integration and the extended thumb points out the positive side of the
surface S). The magnetic flux φ is the surface integral of magnetic flux
density "B" as shown here:
In Equation
(5), the vector differential surface "ds" has an area of ds and in
direction, it is perpendicular to the plane of ds, projecting out of the
positive side of that surface. The partial time derivative of φ is defined
as:
This is
referred to as the
magnetic current through surface S. For a moving
surface S, the limits of the surface integral in equation (6) are
functions of time, but the equation still applies. It is important to
clarify at this point, that when we evaluate the value of dφ/dt over a
surface which is moving in proximity to magnetic field activity,
we
treat the surface as though it were stationary for the instant under
consideration. The partial time derivative of φ, is the time rate of
change of flux through surface S, due only to the changing magnetic field
density B. Any increase of φ due to the motion of the surface in the
B-field, is not included in that calculation.
Continuing this
discussion leads us to note that an electric field must be present in any
region containing a time-varying magnetic field. This is shown by the
following equation:
In this
equation, φ is the magnetic flux in webers out of the positive side of any
surface having path C as its contour. Combining equations (7) and (4), we
are able to calculate the e.m.f. about a closed path C as shown here:
or in another
form:
So, the e.m.f.
around a closed path consists in general of two components. The component
dφ/dt is the variational e.m.f. and the second component is the motional
E-field. In equation (9), (V x B)dl can, by means of a vector identity, be
replaced with B x (V x dl)A. V is the sideways velocity of d: the vector V
x dl has magnitude Vdl and a direction normal to the surface ds swept out
by the moving length dl in time dt. Letting Bn denote the component of B
normal to this area, we can see that the quantity -B x (V x dl) becomes
-BnVdl and equation 9 can be re-written as:
Clearly, the
integral of BnV around the closed contour C with sideways velocity of
magnitude V for each length dl traversed, is simply the time rate of
change of the magnetic flux through the surface bounded by C. This change
is directly due to the passage of path C through lines of magnetic flux.
Hence, the complete expression for e.m.f. in equation (10) is the time
rate of change of the magnetic flux over any surface S, bounded by the
closed path C, due to the changing magnetic field and the movement of the
path through the magnetic field. Equation (10) may be written:
Note: The
distinction between equations (7) and (11) is that equation (7) contains
only the variational e.m.f. while equation (11) is the sum of the
variational and motional e.m.f. values. In equation (7), the partial time
derivative of magnetic flux φ is the rate of flux change due only to the
time-varying magnetic field, while equation (11) includes the total time
derivative of the rate of flux change due to the time-varying magnetic
field and path C's passage through the magnetic field. If the closed path
C is not passing through lines of magnetic flux, then equation (7) and
equation (11) are equivalent.
It is also important to point out
that dφ/dt in equation (11) does not necessarily mean the total time rate
of change of the flux φ over the surface S. For example, the flux over
surface S is bounded by the closed contour C of the left portion of the
electric circuit shown in Fig.1.
The flux is
changing as the coil is unwound by the rotation of the cylinder, as
illustrated. However, since B is static, there is no variational e.m.f.
and since the conductors are not modulating lines of flux, there is no
motional e.m.f. Thus, dφ/dt in equation (11) is zero, even though the flux
is changing with time. Note that dφ/dt was defined as representing the
right hand part of the expression in equation (10) and dφ/dt must not be
interpreted more broadly than that.
In the application of the
present equations, it is required that all flux densities and movements
are referred to a single, specified co-ordinate system. In particular, the
velocities will all be with respect to this system alone and not
interpreted as relative velocities between conductors or moving lines of
flux. The co-ordinate system is selected arbitrarily and the magnitudes of
variational and motional fields depend upon the selection.
Example 1:A fundamental electric generator is
shown in Figure 2:
The parallel,
stationary conductors, separated by distance "l", have a stationary
voltmeter connected across them. The circuit is completed by a moving
conductor connected to the parallel conductors by means of two sliding
contacts. This conductor is connected at y = 0 at time t = 0, and it moves
to the right at a constant velocity V = Vay. The applied flux B is
represented by dots on Fig.2 and has a magnitude of B = B
o
CosBy Coswt ax. The unit vectors in the direction of the co-ordinate axes
are ax, ay and az respectively.
Solution: Let S
denote the plane rectangular surface bounded by the closed electric
circuit, with a positive side selected as the side facing you. The
counter-clockwise e.m.f. around the circuit is dφ/dt with φ signifying the
magnetic flux out of the positive side of S (As ds = 1 dy ax). The scalar
product B x ds is B
o l CosBy, Coswt dy; integrating from y = 0
to y = y gives:
With y1
denoting the instantaneous y position of the moving wire. The
counter-clockwise e.m.f. is found by replacing y with vt and evaluating
dφ/dt. The result is:
The
variational (transformer) component is determined with the aid of equation
(12) and is wB
ol/BsinBy sinwt where y = vt. This is the first
component on the right hand side of equation (13).
Note: y1 was treated
as a constant when evaluating the partial time derivative of φ.
The motional E-field is the line integral of V x B along the path
of the moving conductor. As V x B is -B
o vcosBy1 coswt ax and
As dl is dz ax, evaluation of the integral -B
o vcosBy1 coswt dz
from Z = 0 to Z = 1 results in a motional E-field of -B
o
lvcosBv1 coswt. This component results from modulation of the lines of
flux by the moving conductor. If the voltmeter draws no current, there can
be no electromagnetic force on the free electrons of the wire. Therefore,
the e.m.f. along the path of the metal conductors including the moving
conductor, is zero.
Example 2:Suppose the conductor
with the sliding taps is stationary (V = 0) and it is located at y = y1.
Also, suppose that the magnetic field B is produced by a system of moving
conductors which are not shown in Fig.2 and those conductors are
travelling with a constant velocity V = Vay. At time t = 0, the magnetic
field B is B
o sinBy ax. Determine the voltage across the
voltmeter.
Solution: There is no motional E-field
because the conductors in Fig.2 are at rest (stationary) with respect to
our selected co-ordinate system. However, the magnetic field at points
fixed with respect to the co-ordinate system is changing with time and as
a result, there is a variational e.m.f. Since the B-field at time t = 0 is
B
o sinBy ax and has a velocity of V = Vay, it can be calculated
that the B-field as a function of time is B
osin[B(y-vt)] ax.
This is verified by noting that an observer located at time t = 0 who is
travelling at the constant velocity (V = Vay) of the moving current, would
have a y co-ordinate of y = y + Vt and an accordingly different expression
for B. He would observe a constant field where the magnetic current
density is:
The
counter-clockwise e.m.f. can be arrived at by taking the negative of an
integral of the above expression for the rectangular surface bounded by
the electric circuit with the positive side facing you, with the limits of
zero and y. The resulting e.m.f. equals:
which is the voltage
across the meter.
Induced Motional Field - Negative
Energy:Conventional theory says that electric fields and
magnetic fields are different things. Consider for a moment, a charge with
an electric field around it. If the charge is moved, then a magnetic field
develops and the moving charge constitutes a current. If an observer were
to move along with the charge, then he would see no relative motion, no
current and no magnetic field. A stationary observer would see motion,
current and a magnetic field. It would appear that a magnetic field is an
electric field observed from a motional reference frame. Similarly, if we
take a mass with a gravity field around it, and we move the mass and
create a mass current, a new field is also created. It is a different kind
of gravity field with no source and no sink. It is called the "Protational
field" and is also known as the "Lense-Thirring Effect". This field and
it's governing principles will form the basis for future
anti-gravitational devices (see figures 1 to 4).
Within the
confined are of the Vacuum Triode box, the space-time continuum is
reversed by the fields which are produced in the presence of excited
coherent space flux quanta. These quanta have been attracted form, and
ultimately extracted from the virtual vacuum, the infinitely
non-exhaustible Diac Sea. For a more detailed mathematical format see Tom
Bearden's paper "The Phase Conjugate Vacuum Triode" (23rd April 1987).
Much of the theory which likely applies to the vacuum triode has been
developed in the field of phase-conjugate optics.
With regards to
over-unity phenomena, it is important to note that so long as positive
energy is present in a positively-flowing time regime, then unity and
over-unity power gains are not possible. The summation of the losses due
to resistance, impedance, friction, magnetic hysteresis, eddy currents and
windage losses of rotating machinery will always reduce overall efficiency
below unity for a closed system. The laws of conservation of energy always
apply to all systems. However, the induced motional E-field changes the
system upon which those laws need to be applied. Since the vacuum triode
operates in more than four dimensions and provides a link between the
multi-dimensional reality of the quantum state and the Dirac Sea, we are
now dealing with an open-ended system and not the "closed system" within
which all conservation and thermodynamic laws were developed.
To
achieve unity, the summation of all magnetic and ohmic losses must equal
zero. To achieve this state, negative energy and negative time need to be
created. When this is achieved, all ohmic resistance becomes zero and all
energy then flows along the outside of conductors in the form of a special
space field. Negative energy is fully capable of lighting incandescent
lights, running motors and performing all of the functions of positive
energy tested to date. When run in parallel with positive energy however,
cancellation (annihilation) of opposing power types occurs. This has been
fully tested in the laboratory.
Once unity has been achieved and
the gate to the Dirac sea opened, over-unity is affected by loading the
open gate more and more, which opens it further to the point where direct
communication / interaction with the nucleus of the atom itself is
achieved. Output of the vacuum triode is not proportional to the
excitation input as the output produced by the device is directly
proportional to the load which is placed on it. That load is the only
dependent variable for device output. The triode's output voltage and
frequency always remains constant due to the conditioning of the motional
E-field in the permanent magnets and the small regulated excitation signal
which is provided through a small oscillator. Regulation remains constant
and the triode output looks into an in-phase condition (cosθ=1 Kvar=1)
under all load characteristics.
the vacuum triode is a solid-state
device consisting of conditioned permanent magnets capable of producing a
motional field. This field opens the gate to the Dirac Sea from where
negative energy flows into the triode's receiving coils. The coils are
wound with very small-diameter wire but in spite of that, they are capable
of producing more than 5 kilowatts of useful power. This in itself, is a
clear indicator that the type of electrical energy collected by the device
is not conventional electrical energy. The wire sizes used in the
construction of the device would not be capable of carrying such large
currents without excessive heat gain, however, the triode's coils actually
run cooler when loaded at 5 kilowatts.
The fundamental magnets
have been broken free of the binding forces which constrained them to be
steady-state single-pole uniform magnetic flux devices. They are now able
to simply support mass, as demonstrated with the transformer steel
illustration. They can now easily be made to adopt a dynamic motional
field by applying a tiny amount of excitation. Specifically, 1 milliamp at
10 volts (10 milliwatts) of excitation at 60 Hz enables the coils of the
triode to receive from the Dirac Sea, more than 5,000 watts of usable
negative energy. It has not yet been determined how much more energy can
be safely removed.
Dan
Davidson. Dan has produced a system rather similar to the
‘MEG’. His system is different in that he uses an acoustic device
to vibrate a magnet which forms the core of a transformer. This is
said to increase the output by a substantial amount. His
arrangement looks like this:
Dan’s patent is
in the Appendix and it gives details of the types of acoustic transducers
which are suitable for this generator design.
Pavel
Imris. Pavel was awarded a US patent in the 1970’s. The
patent is most interesting in that it describes a device which can have an
output power which is more than nine times greater than the input power.
He achieves this with a device which has two pointed electrodes
enclosed in a quartz glass envelope which contains xenon gas under
pressure (the higher the pressure, the greater the gain of the device) and
a dielectric material.
Here, the
power supply to one or more standard fluorescent lamps is passed through
the device. This produces a power gain which can be spectacular
when the gas pressure in the area marked ‘24’ and ‘25’ in the above
diagram is high. The patent is included in this set of documents
and it contains the following table of experimental measurements:
Table 1 shows the data to be obtained relating to the
optical electrostatic generator.
Table 2 shows the lamp
performance and efficiency for each of the tests shown in
Table 1.
The following is a description of the data in each of the columns
of
Tables 1 and
2.
The results from Test No. 24
where the gas pressure is a very high 5,000 Torr, show that the input
power for each 40-watt standard fluorescent tubes is 0.9 watts for full
lamp output. In other words, each lamp is working to its full
specification on less than one fortieth of its rated input power.
However, the power taken by the device in that test was 333.4 watts which
with the 90 watts needed to run the 100 lamps, gives a total input
electrical power of 423.4 watts instead of the 4,000 watts which would
have been needed without the device. That is an output power of
more than nine times the input power.
From the point of view of
any individual lamp, without using this device, it requires 40 watts of
electrical input power to give 8.8 watts of light output which is an
efficiency of about 22% (the rest of the input power being converted to
heat). In test 24, the input power per lamp is 0.9 watts for the
8.8 watts of light produced, which is a lamp efficiency of more than 900%.
The lamp used to need 40 watts of input power to perform correctly.
With this device in the circuit, each lamp only needs 0.9 watts of
input power which is only 2.25% of the original power. Quite an
impressive performance for so simple a device!
Michael
Ognyanov’s Self-powered Power Pack. A patent application US
3,766,094 (shown in detail in an accompanying document) gives the details
of an interesting device. While it is only an application and not a
full patent, the information implies strongly that Michael built and
tested many of these devices.
While the power output is low, the
design is of considerable interest. It is possible that the device
works from picking up the output from many radio stations, although it
does not have anything which is intended to be an aerial. It would
be interesting to test the device, first, with a telescopic aerial added
to it, and second, placed in an earthed metal box.
The device is
constructed by casting a small block of a mixture of semiconductor
materials such as Selenium with, from 4.85% to 5.5% Tellurium, from 3.95%
to 4.2% Germanium, from 2.85% to 3.2% Neodymium, and from 2.0% to 2.5%
Gallium. The resulting block is shaped with a dome on one face
which is contacted by a short, pointed metal probe. When this
arrangement is fed briefly with an oscillating signal, typically in the
frequency range of 5.8 to 18 Mhz, it becomes self-powered and can supply
electric current to external equipment. The construction is as
shown here:
The circuit
used with this component is shown as:
Presumably
the output power would be increased by using full-wave rectification of
the oscillations rather than the half-wave rectification shown.
Michael says that increasing the dimensions of the unit increases the
output power. The small unit shown in this example of his, has been
shown to be able to provide flashing power for an incandescent lamp of up
to 250 mA current requirement. While this is not a large power
output, it is interesting that the output is obtained without any apparent
input. Michael speculates that the very short connecting wires may
act as radio reception aerials. If that is the case, then the
output is impressive for such tiny aerials.
The Michael
Meyer and Yves Mace Isotopic Generator. There is a French
patent application number FR2680613 dated 19th August 1991 entitled
“Activateur pour Mutation Isotopique” which provides some very interesting
information. The system described is a self-contained solid-state
energy converter which abstracts large amounts of energy from an ordinary
iron bar.
The inventors describes the technique as an “isotopic
mutation effect” as it converts ordinary iron (isotope 56) to isotope 54
iron, releasing large amounts of electrical energy in the process.
This excess energy can, they say, be used to drive inverters, motors or
generators.
The description of the mechanism which is being used
by the device is: “the present invention uses a physical phenomenon to
which we draw attention and which we will call ‘Isotopic Change’.
The physical principle applies to isotope 56 iron which contains 26
protons, 26 electrons and 30 neutrons, giving a total mass of 56.52 Mev,
although its actual mass is 55.80 Mev. The difference between the
total mass and the actual mass is therefore 0.72 Mev this which
corresponds to an energy of cohesion per nucleon of 0.012857 Mev.
So, If one introduces an additional 105 ev of energy to the iron
core isotope 56, that core isotope will have a cohesion energy level of
0.012962 Mev per nucleon corresponding to iron isotope 54. The
instability created by this contribution of energy will transfer the
isotope 56 iron to isotope 54 causing a release of 2 neutrons.
This process generates an excess energy of 20,000 ev since the
iron isotope 54 is only 0.70 Mev while isotope 56 has 0.72 Mev. To
bring about this iron isotope 56 conversion, we use the principle of
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.”
The practical method for doing this
is by using three coils of wire and a magnetic-path-closing support frame
of iron as shown in this diagram:
In this
arrangement,
Coil 1: Produces 0.5 Tesla when fed with DC,
converting the iron bar into an electromagnet
Coil 2: Produces
10 milli-Tesla when fed with a 21 MHz AC sinewave signal
Coil 3:
Is the output coil, providing 110, 220 or 380 volts AC at about 400 Hz
depending on the number of turns in the coil
This simple and cheap
system has the potential for producing substantial energy output for a
very long time. The inventors claim that this device can be wired
to be self-powered, while still powering external devices. Coil 1
turns the iron rod into an electromagnet with it’s flux channelled in a
loop by the iron yoke. Coil 2 then oscillates that magnetic field
in resonance with the isotope 56 iron atoms in the rod, and this produces
the isotope conversion and release of excess energy. Coil 3 is
wound to produce a convenient output voltage.
The
Colman / Seddon-Gilliespie Generator. This device, patented by
Harold Colman and Ronald Seddon-Gillespie on 5th December 1956, is quite
remarkable. It is a tiny lightweight device which can produce
electricity using a self-powered electromagnet and chemical salts.
The working life of the device before needing refurbishment is estimated
at some seventy years with an output of about one kilowatt.
The
operation is controlled by a transmitter which bombards the chemical
sample with 300 MHz radio waves. This produces radioactive
emissions from the chemical mixture for a period of one hour maximum, so
the transmitter needs to be run for fifteen to thirty seconds once every
hour. The chemical mixture is shielded by a lead screen to prevent
harmful radiation reaching the user. The patent, GB 763,062 is
included in the Appendix.
This generator unit includes a magnet, a
tube containg a chemical mixture of elements whose nuclei becomes unstable
as a result of bombardment by short waves so that the elements become
radio-active and release electrical energy, the mixture being mounted
between, and in contact with, a pair of different metals such as copper
and zinc, and a capacitor mounted between those metals.
The
mixture is preferably composed of the elements Cadmium, Phosphorus and
Cobalt having Atomic Weights of 112, 31 and 59 respectively. The
mixture, which may be of powdered form, is mounted in a tube of
non-conducting, high heat resistivity material and is compressed between
granulated zinc at one end of the tube and granulated copper at the other
end, the ends of the tube being closed by brass caps and the tube being
carried in a suitable cradle so that it is located between the poles of
the magnet. The magnet is preferably an electro-magnet and is
energised by the current produced by the unit. The transmitter unit
which is used for activating the generator unit may be of any conventional
type operating on ultra-shortwave and is preferably crystal controlled at
the desired frequency.
The transmitter
unit is of any suitable conventional type for producing ultra shortwaves
and may be crystal controlled to ensure that it operates at the desired
frequency with the necessity of tuning. The quartz tube containing
the chemical mixture, works best if made up of a number of small cells in
series. In other words, considering the cartridge from one end to
the other, at one end and in contact with the brass cap, there would be a
layer of powdered copper, then a layer of the chemical mixture, then a
layer of powdered zinc, a layer of powdered copper, etc. with a layer of
powdered zinc in contact with the brass cap at the other end of the
cartridge. With a cartridge some forty five millimetres long and five
millimetres diameter, some fourteen cells may be included.
Hans
Coler. Hans Coler developed a device which he named the
“Stromerzeuger” which consisted of an arrangement of magnets, flat coils
and copper plates with a primary circuit powered by a small battery.
The output from the secondary circuit was used to light a bank of
lamps and it was claimed that the output power was many times the input
power and to continue indefinitely.
The apparatus principally
consists of two parallel connected spools which being bi-filarly wound in
a special way, are magnetically linked together. One of these
spools is composed of copper sheets (the spool is called the ‘plate
spool’). The other one is made of a number of thin parallel
connected isolated wires (called ‘spool winding’), running parallel to the
plates, at small intervals. Both spools can be fed by separate
batteries (6 Volt, 6.5 AHr were used). At least two batteries are
needed to get the apparatus operating, but subsequently, one battery can
be removed.
The spools are arranged in two halves each by the
bi-filar windings. The plate spool also contains iron rods with
silver wire connections. These rods are magnetised by a special
battery through exciter windings. Electrically, the exciter winding
is completely isolated from the other windings. Hans said that the
production of energy takes place principally in these iron rods and the
winding of the spools plays an essential part in the process.
It
should be mentioned that the spool circuit is powered up first.
Initially, it took a current of 104 mA. The plates and exciter
circuits are then switched on simultaneously. When this is done,
the current in the spool circuit dropped from 104 mA to about 27 mA.
It is suggested that an electron be not only regarded as a
negatively charged particle but also as a South magnetic pole. The
basic Stromerzeuger element is that of an open secondary circuit, capacity
loaded, inductively coupled to a primary circuit. The novel feature
is that the capacities are connected to the secondary core through
permanent magnets as shown here:
It is claimed
that on switching on the primary circuit, “separation of charges” takes
place with M1 becoming positively charged and M2 becoming negatively
charged and that these charges are “magnetically polarised” when they
formed, owing to the presence of the magnets. When the primary
circuit is switched off, a “reversing current” flows in the secondary but
the magnets “do not exert a polarising effect on this reversal”.
Two of the basic elements shown above are placed together making a
double stage arrangement with the copper plates close together (presumably
as capacitor plates):
The secondary
windings are both exactly equal and wound in a direction such that, on
switching the primary coil on, the electrons in the secondary coil flow
from P1 to P2 and from F1 to F2. This is the basic working
arrangement. More of these double stages can be added to provide
higher outputs.
Don Smith.
One of most impressive developers of free-energy devices is Don
Smith who has produced many spectacular things, generally with major power
output. These are a result of his in-depth knowledge and understanding of
the way that the environment works. Don says that his understanding comes
from the work of Nikola Tesla as recorded in Thomas C. Martin's book "The
Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla" ISBN 0-7873-0582-0
available from
http://www.healthresearchbooks.com/
and various other book companies. Much of the content of the book, such as
Tesla's lectures, can be downloaded free from
http://www.free-energy-info.com/.
Don states that he repeated each of the experiments found in the
book and that gave him his understanding of what he prefers to describe as
the 'ambient background energy' which is called the 'zero-point energy
field' elsewhere in this eBook. Don remarks that he has now advanced
further than Tesla in this field, partly because of the devices now
available to him and which were not available when Tesla was alive.
Don stresses two key points. Firstly, a dipole can cause a
disturbance in the magnetic component of the 'ambient background' and that
imbalance allows you to collect large amounts of electrical power, using
capacitors and inductors (coils). Secondly, you can pick up as many
powerful electrical outputs as you want from that one magnetic
disturbance, without depleting the magnetic disturbance in any way. This
allows massively more power output than the small power needed to create
the magnetic disturbance in the first place. This is what produces a
COP>1 device and Don has created nearly fifty different devices based
on that understanding.
Although they get removed quite frequently,
there is one
video
which was recorded 2006 and it covers a good deal of what Don has done. In
the video, reference is made to Don's website but you will find that it
has been taken over by Big Oil who have filled it with innocuous
similar-sounding things of no consequence, apparently intended to confuse
newcomers. A website which I understand is run by Don's son is
here and it has
brief details of his prototypes and theory. You will find the only
document of his which I could locate, presented as a downloadable
pdf document here and
it contains the following patent on a most interesting device which
appears to have no particular limit on the output power. This is a
slightly re-worded copy of that patent.
Patent NL 02000035 A 20th May 2004 Inventor: Donald Lee Smith
TRANSFORMER
GENERATOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE INTO ELECTRIC ENERGY
ABSTRACT
The present invention refers to
an Electromagnetic Dipole Device and Method, where wasted radiated energy
is transformed into useful energy. A Dipole as seen in Antenna Systems is
adapted for use with capacitor plates in such a way that the Heaviside
Current Component becomes a useful source of electrical energy.
DESCRIPTION
Technical Field:
This
invention relates to loaded Dipole Antenna Systems and their
Electromagnetic radiation. When used as a transformer with an appropriate
energy collector system, it becomes a transformer/generator. The invention
collects and converts energy which is radiated and wasted by conventional
devices.
Background Art:
A search of the International
Patent Database for closely related methods did not reveal any prior art
with an interest in conserving radiated and wasted magnetic waves as
useful energy.
DISCLOSURE OF THE
INVENTION
The invention is a new and useful departure from
transformer generator construction, such that radiated and wasted magnetic
energy changes into useful electrical energy. Gauss meters show that much
energy from conventional electromagnetic devices is radiated into the
ambient background and wasted. In the case of conventional transformer
generators, a radical change in the physical construction allows better
access to the energy available. It is found that creating a dipole and
inserting capacitor plates at right angles to the current flow, allows
magnetic waves to change back into useful electrical (coulombs) energy.
Magnetic waves passing through the capacitor plates do not degrade and the
full impact of the available energy is accessed. One, or as many sets of
capacitor plates as is desired, may be used. Each set makes an exact copy
of the full force and effect of the energy present in the magnetic waves.
The originating source is not depleted of degraded as is common in
conventional transformers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE
DRAWINGS
The Dipole at right angles, allows the magnetic flux
surrounding it to intercept the capacitor plate, or plates, at right
angles. The electrons present are spun such that the electrical component
of each electron is collected by the capacitor plates. Essential parts are
the South and North component of an active Dipole. Examples presented here
exist as fully functional prototypes and were engineer constructed and
fully tested in use by the Inventor. In each of the three examples shown
in the drawings, corresponding parts are used.

BEST METHOD OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTIONThe
invention is applicable to any and all electrical energy requirements. The
small size and it's high efficiency make it an attractive option,
especially for remote areas, homes, office buildings, factories, shopping
centres, public places, transportation, water systems, electric trains,
boats, ships and 'all things great and small'. The construction materials
are commonly available and only moderate skill levels are needed to make
the device.
CLAIMS
- Radiated magnetic flux from the Dipole, when intercepted by
capacitor plates at right angles, changes into useful electrical energy.
- A Device and Method for converting for use, normally wasted
electromagnetic energy.
- The Dipole of the Invention is any resonating substance such as
Metal Rods, Coils and Plasma Tubes which have interacting Positive and
Negative components.
- The resulting Heaviside current component is changed to useful
electrical energy.
**********************This patent does not make
it clear that the device needs to be tuned and that the tuning is related
to its physical location. The tuning will be accomplished by applying a
variable-frequency input signal to the neon transformer and adjusting that
input frequency to give the maximum output.
Don Smith has produced
some forty eight different devices, and because he understands that the
real power in the universe is magnetic and not electric, these devices
have performances which appear staggering to people trained to think that
electrical power is the only source of power. One device which is
commercially produced in Russia, is shown here:
This is a small
table-top device which looks like it is an experiment by a beginner, and
something which would be wholly ineffective. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Each of the eight coils pairs (one each side of the rotating
disc) produces 1,000 volts at 50 amps (fifty kilowatts) of output power,
giving a total power output of 400 kilowatts. It's overall size is 16" x
14.5" x 10" (400 x 370 x 255 mm). In spite of the extremely high power
output, the general construction is very simple:
The device
operates on a fluctuating magnetic field which is produced by a small
low-power DC motor spinning a plastic disc. In the prototype shown above,
the disc is an old vinyl record which has had holes cut in it. Between the
holes is an area which was covered with glue and then sprinkled with
powdered neodymium magnet material. It takes very little power to spin the
disc, but it acts in a way which is very much like the Ecklin-Brown
generator, repeatedly disrupting the magnetic field. The magnetic field is
created by a neodymium magnet in each of the sixteen plastic pipes. It is
important that the change in the magnetic flux between the matching
magnets on each side of the disc is as large as possible. The ideal rotor
material for this is "Terfenol-D" (tungsten zirconate) with slots cut in
it but it is so expensive that materials like stainless steel are likely
to be used instead
For Don Smith, this is not an exceptional
device. The one shown below is also physically quite small and yet it has
an output of 160 kilowatts (8000 volts at 20 amps) from an input of 12
volts 1 amp (COP = 13,333):
Again, this is
a device which can be placed on top of a table and is not a complicated
form of construction, having a very open and simplistic layout. However,
some components are not mounted on this board. The twelve volt battery and
connecting leads are not shown, nor is the ground connection, the
step-down isolation transformer and the varistor used to protect the load
from over-voltage by absorbing any random voltage spikes which might
occur, but more of these things later on when a much more detailed
description of this device is given.
Another of Don's devices is
shown here:
This is a
larger device which uses a plasma tube four feet (1.22 m) long and 6
inches (100 mm) in diameter. The output is a massive 100 kilowatts. This
is the design shown as one of the options in Don's patent. Being an
Electrical Engineer, none of Don's prototypes are in the "toy" category.
If nothing else is taken from Don's work, we should realise that high
power outputs can be had from very simple devices.
There is
one other brief document "Resonate Electrical Power System" from Don Smith
which says:
Potential Energy us everywhere at all times, becoming
useful when converted into a more practical form. There is no energy
shortage, only grey matter. This energy potential is observed indirectly
through the manifestation of electromagnetic phenomenon, when intercepted
and converted, becomes useful. In nonlinear systems, interaction of
magnetic waves amplify (conjugate) energy, providing greater output than
input. In simple form, in the piano where three strings are struck by the
hammer, the centre one is impacted and resonance activates the side
strings. Resonance between the three strings provides a sound level
greater than the input energy. Sound is part of the electromagnetic
spectrum and is subject to all that is applicable to it.
"Useful
Energy" is defined as "that which is other than Ambient". "Electric
Potential" relates to mass and it's acceleration. Therefore, the Earth's
Mass and Speed through space, gives it an enormous electrical potential.
Humans are like the bird sitting unaware on a high voltage line. in
nature, turbulence upsets ambient and we see electrical displays.
Tampering with ambient, allows humans to convert magnetic waves into
useful electricity.
Putting this in focus, requires a look at the
Earth in general. Each minute of each day (1,440 minutes), more than 4,000
displays of lightning occur. Each display yields more than 10,000,000
volts at more than 200,000 amperes in equivalent electromagnetic flux.
This is more than 57,600,000,000,000 volts and 1,152,000,000,000 amperes
of electromagnetic flux during each 24 hour period. This has been going on
for more than 4 billion years. The USPTO insist that the Earth's
electrical field is insignificant and useless, and that converting this
energy violates the laws of nature. At the same time, they issue patents
in which, electromagnetic flux coming in from the Sun is converted by
solar cells into DC energy. Aeromagnetic flux (in gammas) Maps World-Wide,
includes those provided by the US Department of Interior-Geological
Survey, and these show clearly that there is present, a spread of 1,900
gamma above Ambient, from reading instruments flown 1,000 feet above the
(surface) source. Coulomb's Law requires the squaring of the distance of
the remote reading, multiplied by the recorded reading. Therefore, that
reading of 1,900 gamma has a corrected value of 1,900 x 1,000 x 1,000 =
1,900,000,000 gamma.
There is a tendency to confuse "gamma ray"
with "gamma". "Gamma" is ordinary, everyday magnetic flux, while "gamma
ray" is high-impact energy and not flux. One gamma of magnetic flux is
equal to that of 100 volts RMS. To see this, take a Plasma Globe emitting
40,000 volts. When properly used, a gamma meter placed nearby, will read
400 gammas. The 1,900,000,000 gamma just mentioned, is the magnetic
ambient equivalent of 190,000,000 volts of electricity. This is on a
"Solar Quiet" day. On "Solar Active" days it may exceed five times that
amount. The Establishment's idea that the Earth's electrical field is
insignificant, goes the way of their other great ideas.
There are
two kinds of electricity: "potential" and "useful". All electricity is
"potential" until it is converted. The resonant-fluxing of electrons,
activates the electrical potential which is present everywhere. The
Intensity/CPS of the resonant-frequency-flux rate, sets the available
energy. This must then be converted into the required physical dimensions
of the equipment being used. For example, energy arriving from the Sun is
magnetic flux, which solar cells convert to DC electricity, which is then
converted further to suit the equipment being powered by it. Only the
magnetic flux moves from point "A" (the Sun) to point "B" (the Earth). All
electrical power systems work in exactly the same way. Movement of Coils
and Magnets at point "A" (the generator) fluxes electrons, which in turn,
excite electrons at point "B" (your house).
None of the electrons at
point "A" are ever transmitted to point "B". In both cases, the
electrons remain forever intact and available for further fluxing. This is
not allowed by Newtonian Physics (electrodynamics and the laws of
conservation). Clearly, these laws are all screwed up and inadequate.
In modern physics, USPTO style, all of the above cannot exist
because it opens a door to overunity. The good news is that the PTO has
already issued hundreds of Patents related to Light Amplification, all of
which are overunity. The Dynode used to adjust the self-powered shutter in
your camera, receives magnetic flux from light which dislodges electrons
from the cathode, reflecting electrons through the dynode bridge to the
anode, resulting in billions of more electrons out than in. There are
currently, 297 direct patents issued for this system, and thousands of
peripheral patents, all of which support overunity. More than a thousand
other Patents which have been issued, can be seen by the discerning eye to
be overunity devices. What does this indicate about Intellectual Honesty?
Any coil system, when fluxed, causes electrons to spin and produce
useful energy, once it is converted to the style required by its use. Now
that we have described the method which is required, let us now see how
this concerns us.
The entire System already exists and all that we
need to do is to hook it up in a way which is useful to our required
manner of use. Let us examine this backwards and start with a conventional
output transformer. Consider one which has the required voltage and
current handling characteristics and which acts as an isolation
transformer. Only the magnetic flux passes from the input winding to the
output winding. No electrons pass through from the input side to the
output side. Therefore, we only need to flux the output side of the
transformer to have an electrical output. Bad design by the establishment,
allowing hysteresis of the metal plates, limits the load which can be
driven. Up to this point, only potential is a consideration. Heat (which
is energy loss) limits the output amperage. Correctly designed composite
cores run cool, not hot.
A power correction factor system, being a
capacitor bank, maintains an even flow of flux. These same capacitors,
when used with a coil system (a transformer) become a frequency-timing
system. Therefore, the inductance of the input side of the transformer,
when combined with the capacitor bank, provides the required fluxing to
produce the required electrical energy (cycles per second).
With
the downstream system in place, all that is needed now is a potential
system. Any flux system will be suitable. Any amplification over-unity
output type is desirable. The input system is point "A" and the output
system is point "B". Any input system where a lesser amount of electrons
disturbs a greater amount of electrons - producing an output which is
greater than the input - is desirable.
At this point, it is
necessary to present updated information about electrons and the laws of
physics. A large part of this, originates from me and so is likely to
upset people who are rigidly set in the thought patterns of conventional
science.
Non - Ionic ElectronsAs a source of
electrical energy, non-ionic electrons doublets exist in immense
quantities throughout the universe. Their origin is from the emanation of
Solar Plasma. When ambient electrons are disturbed by being spun or pushed
apart, they yield both magnetic and electrical energy. The rate of
disturbance (cycling) determines the energy level achieved. Practical
methods of disturbing them include, moving coils past magnets or vice
versa. A better way is the pulsing (resonant induction) with magnetic
fields and waves near coils.
In coil systems, magnetic and
amperage are one package. This suggests that electrons in their natural
non-ionic state, exist as doublets. When pushed apart by agitation, one
spins right (yielding Volts-potential electricity) and the other spins
left (yielding Amperage-magnetic energy), one being more negative than the
other. This further suggests that when they reunite, we have (Volts x Amps
= Watts) useful electrical energy. Until now, this idea has been totally
absent from the knowledge base. The previous definition of Amperage is
therefore flawed.
Electron Related Energy
Left hand spin
of electrons results in Electrical Energy and right hand spin results in
Magnetic Energy. Impacted electrons emit visible Light and heat.
Useful Circuits, Suggestions for Building an Operational
Unit
- Substitute a Plasma Globe such as Radio Shack's "Illumna-Storm" for
the source-resonant induction system. It will have about 400 milligauss
of magnetic induction. One milligauss is equal to 100 volts worth of
magnetic induction.
- Construct a coil using a 5-inch to 7-inch (125 to 180 mm) diameter
piece of PVC for the coil former.
- Get about 30 feet (10 m) of Jumbo-Speaker Cable and separate the two
strands. This can be done by sticking a carpet knife into a piece of
cardboard or wood, and then pulling the cable carefully past the blade
to separate the two insulated cores from each other. (PJK Note: "Jumbo-Speaker Cable" is a vague term as that
cable comes in many varieties, with anything from a few, to over 500
strands in each core. As Don points out that the output power increases
with each turn of wire, it is distinctly possible that each of these
strands acts the same as individual insulated turns which have been
connected in parallel, so a 500-strand cable may well be far more
effective than a cable with just a few strands).
- Wind the coil with 10 to 15 turns of wire and leave about 3 feet (1
m) of cable spare at each end of the coil. Use a glue gun to hold the
start and finish of the coil.
- This will become the "L - 2" coil shown in the Circuits page.
- When sitting on top of the Plasma Globe (like a crown) you have a
first-class resonant air-core coil system.
- Now, substitute two or more capacitors (rated at 5,000 volts or
more) for the capacitor bank shown on the Circuits page. I use more than
two 34 microfarad capacitors.
- Finish out the circuit as shown. You are now in business !
- Voltage - Amperage limiting resistors are required across the output
side of the Load transformer. These are used to adjust the output level
and the desired cycles per second.
Suggestions:
Get a copy of the "Handbook of Electronic Tables and Formulas",
published by Sams, ISBN 0-672-22469-0, also an LCR meter is required.
Chapter 1 in this book has important time constant (frequency) information
and a set of reactance charts in nomograph style ("nomograph": a graph,
usually containing three parallel scales graduated for different variables
so that when a straight line connects values of any two, the related value
may be read directly from the third at the point intersected by the line)
which makes working, and approximating of the three variables
(capacitance, inductance and resistance) much easier. If two of the
variables are known, then the third one can be read from the nomograph.
For example, if the input side of the isolation transformer needs
to operate at 60 Hz, that is 60 positive cycles and 60 negative cycles,
being a total of 120 cycles. Read off the inductance in Henries using the
LCR meter attached to the input side of the isolation transformer. Plot
this value on the (nomographic) reactance chart. Plot the needed 120 Hz on
the chart and connect these two points with a straight line. Where this
line crosses the Farads line and the Ohms line, gives us two values.
Choose one (resistor) and insert it between the two leads of the
transformer input winding.
The Power Correction Factor Capacitor
(or bank of more than one capacitor) now need adjusting. The following
formula is helpful in finding this missing information. The capacitance is
known, as is the desired potential to pulse the output transformer. One
Farad of capacitance is one volt for one second (one Coulomb). Therefore,
if we want to keep the bucket full with a certain amount, how many dippers
full are needed? If the bucket needs 120 volts, then how many coulombs are
required?
Now, go to the
Reactance Chart mentioned above, and find the required resistor jumper to
place between the poles of the Correction Factor Capacitor.
A
earth grounding is desirable as a voltage-limiter and transient spike
control. Two are necessary, one at the Power Factor Capacitor and one at
the input side of the isolation transformer. Off-the-shelf surge arrestors
/ spark gaps and varistors having the desired voltage/potential and
amperage control are commonly available. Siemans, Citel America and
others, make a full range of surge arrestors, etc. Varistors look like
coin-sized flat capacitors. Any of these voltage limiters are marked as "V
- 1" in the following text.
It should be obvious that several
separate closed circuits are present in the suggested configuration: The
power input source, the high-voltage module, a power factor capacitor bank
combined with the input side of the isolation transformer. Lastly, the
output side of the isolation transformer and its load. None of the
electrons active at the power source (battery) are passed through the
system for use downstream. At any point, if the magnetic flux rate should
happen to vary, then the number of active electrons also varies.
Therefore, controlling the flux rate controls the electron (potential)
activity. Electrons active at point "A" are not the same electrons active
at point "B", or point "C", and so on. If the magnetic flux rate
(frequency Hz) varies, then a different number of electrons will be
disturbed. This does not violate any Natural Law and does produce more
energy out than in should that be desirable.
A convenient
high-voltage module is a 12 volt DC neon tube transformer. The Power
Factor Correction Capacitors should be as many microfarads as possible as
this allows a lower operating frequency. The 12-volt neon tube transformer
oscillates at about 30,000 Hz. At the Power Correction Factor Capacitor
bank we lower the frequency to match the input side of the isolation
transformer.
Other convenient high-voltage sources are car
ignition coils, television flyback transformers, laser printer modules,
and various other devices. Always lower the frequency at the Power Factor
Correction Capacitor and correct, if needed, at the input side of the
isolation transformer. The isolation transformer comes alive when pulsed.
Amperage becomes a part of the consideration only at the isolation
transformer. Faulty design, resulting in hysteresis, creates heat which
self-destructs the transformer if it is overloaded. Transformers which
have a composite core instead of the more common cores made from many
layers of thin sheets of soft iron, run cool and can tolerate much higher
amperage.
The information
shown above, relates to the small Suitcase Model demonstrated at the 1996
Tesla Convention, presented as Don Smiths' Workshop. This unit was a very
primitive version and newer versions have atomic batteries and power
output ranges of Gigawatts. The battery requirement is low level and is no
more harmful than the radium on the dial of a clock. Commercial units of
Boulder Dam size are currently being installed at several major locations
throughout the world. For reasons of Don's personal security and contract
obligations, the information which he has shared here is incomplete.
I am most definitely not an
expert in this area. However, it is probably worth mentioning some of the
main points which Don Smith appears to be making. There are some very
important points being made here, and grasping these may make a
considerable difference to our ability to tap into the excess energy
available in our local environment. There are four points worth
mentioning:
- Voltage
- Frequency
- Magnetic / Electric relationship
- Resonance
1. Voltage. We tend to view
things with an 'intuitive' view, generally based on fairly simple
concepts. For example, we automatically think that it is more difficult to
pick up a heavy object than to pick up a light one. How much more
difficult? Well, if it is twice as heavy, it would probably be about twice
as much effort to pick it up. This view has developed from our experience
of things which we have done in the past, rather than on any mathematical
calculation or formula.
Well, how about pulsing an electronic
system with a voltage? How would the output power of a system be affected
by increasing the voltage? Our initial 'off-the cuff' reaction might be
that the power output might be increased a bit, but then hold on… we've
just remembered that Watts = Volts x Amps, so if you double the voltage,
then you would double the power in watts. So we might settle for the
notion that if we doubled the voltage then we could double the output
power. If we thought that, then we would be wrong.
Don Smith
points out that as capacitors and coils store energy, if they are involved
in the circuit, then the output power is proportional to the square of the
voltage used. Double the voltage, and the output power is four times
greater. Use three times the voltage and the output power is nine times
greater. Use ten times the voltage and the output power is one hundred
times greater !
Don says that
the energy stored, multiplied by the cycles per second, is the energy
being pumped by the system. Capacitors and inductors (coils) temporarily
store electrons, and their performance is given by:
Capacitor formula: W = 0.5 x C x V2 x Hz where:
W is the energy in Joules (Joules = Volts x Amps x seconds)
C is the capacitance in Farads
V is the voltage
Hz is the cycles per second
Inductor formula: W = 0.5 x L x A2 x Hz where:
W is the energy in Joules
L is the inductance in Henrys
A is the current in amps
Hz is the frequency in cycles per second
You will notice that where inductors (coils) are involved, then the
output power goes up with the square of the current. Double the voltage
and double the current gives four times the power output due to the
increased voltage and that increased output is increased by a further four
times due to the increased current, giving sixteen times the output power.
2. Frequency. You will notice from the formulas
above, that the output power is directly proportional to the frequency
"Hz". The frequency is the number of cycles per second (or pulses per
second) applied to the circuit. This is something which is not intuitive
for most people. If you double the rate of pulsing, then you double the
power output. When this sinks in, you suddenly see why Nikola Tesla tended
to use millions of volts and millions of pulses per second.
However, Don Smith states that when a circuit is at it's point of
resonance, resistance in the circuit drops to zero and the circuit becomes
effectively, a superconductor. The energy for such a system which is in
resonance is:
Resonant circuit: W = 0.5 x C x V2 x (Hz)2 where:
W is the energy in Joules
C is the capacitance in Farads
V is the voltage
Hz is the cycles per second
If this is correct, then raising the frequency in a resonating
circuit has a massive effect on the power output of the device. The
question then arises: why is the mains power in Europe just fifty cycles
per second and in America just sixty cycles per second? If power goes up
with frequency, then why not feed households at a million cycles per
second? One major reason is that it is not easy to make electric motors
which can be driven with power delivered at that frequency, so a more
suitable frequency is chosen in order to suit the motors in vacuum
cleaners, washing machines and other household equipment.
However,
if we want to extract energy from the environment, then we should go for
high voltage and high frequency. Then, when high power has been extracted,
if we want a low frequency suited to electric motors, we can pulse the
already captured power at that low frequency.
It might be
speculated that if a device is being driven with sharp pulses which have a
very sharply rising leading edge, that the effective frequency of the
pulsing is actually determined by the speed of that rising edge, rather
than the rate at which the pulses are actually generated. For example, if
pulses are being generated at, say, 50 kHz but the pulses have a leading
edge which would be suited to a 200 kHz pulse train, then the device might
well see the signal as a 200 kHz signal with a 25% Mark/Space ratio, the
very suddenness of the applied voltage having a magnetic shocking effect
equivalent to a 200 kHz pulse train.
3. Magnetic / Electric
relationship. Don states that the reason why our present power
systems are so inefficient is because we concentrate on the electric
component of electromagnetism. These systems are always COP<1 as
electricity is the 'losses' of electromagnetic power. Instead, if you
concentrate on the magnetic component, then there is no limit on the
electric power which can be extracted from that magnetic component.
Contrary to what you might expect, if you install a pick-up system which
extracts electrical energy from the magnetic component, you can install
any number of other identical pick-ups, each of which extract the same
amount of electrical energy from the magnetic input, without loading the
magnetic wave in any way. Unlimited electrical output for the 'cost' of
creating a single magnetic effect.
The magnetic effect which we
want to create is a ripple in the zero-point energy field, and ideally, we
want to create that effect while using very little power. Creating a
dipole with a battery which has a Plus and a Minus terminal or a magnet
which has North and South poles, is an easy way to do create an
electromagnetic imbalance in the local environment. Pulsing a coil is
probably an even better way as the magnetic field reverses rapidly if it
is an air-core coil, such as a Tesla Coil. Using a ferromagnetic core to
the coil can create a problem as iron can't reverse it's magnetic
alignment very rapidly, and ideally, you want pulsing which is at least a
thousand times faster than iron can handle.
Don draws attention to
the "Transmitter / Receiver" educational kit "Resonant Circuits #10-416"
supplied by The Science Source, Maine. This kit demonstrates the
generation of resonant energy and it's collection with a receiver circuit.
However, if several receiver circuits are used, then the energy collected
is increased several times without any increase in the transmitted energy.
This is similar to a radio transmitter where hundreds of thousands of
radio receivers can receive the transmitted signal without loading the
transmitter in any way.
This immediately makes the Hubbard device
spring to mind. Hubbard has a central "electromagnetic transmitter"
surrounded by a ring of "receivers" closely coupled magnetically to the
transmitter, each of which will receive a copy of the energy sent by the
transmitter:
Don points to
an even more clearly demonstrated occurrence of this effect in the Tesla
Coil. In a typical Tesla Coil, the primary coil is much larger diameter
than the inner secondary coil:
If, for
example, 8,000 volts is applied to the primary coil which has four turns,
then each turn would have 2,000 volts of potential. Each turn of the
primary coil transfers electromagnetic flux to every single turn of the
secondary winding, and the secondary coil has a very large number of
turns. Massively more power is produced in the secondary coil than was
used to energise the primary coil. A common mistake is to believe that a
Tesla Coil can't produce serious amperage. If the primary coil is
positioned in the middle of the secondary coil as shown, then the amperage
generated will be as large as the voltage generated. A low power input to
the primary coil can produce kilowatts of usable electrical power as
described in chapter 5.
4. Resonance. An important
factor in circuits aimed at tapping external energy is resonance. It can
be hard to see where this comes in when it is an electronic circuit which
is being considered. However, everything has it's own resonant frequency,
whether it is a coil or any other electronic component. When components
are connected together to form a circuit, the circuit has an overall
resonant frequency. As a simple example, consider a swing:
If the swing is
pushed before it reaches the highest point on the mother's side, then the
push actually detracts from the swinging action. The time of one full
swing is the resonant frequency of the swing, and that is determined by
the length of the supporting ropes holding the seat and not the weight of
the child nor the power with which the child is pushed. Provided that the
timing is exactly right, a very small push can get a swing moving in a
substantial arc. The key factor is, matching the pulses applied to the
swing, to the resonant frequency of the swing. Get it right and a large
movement is produced. Get it wrong, and the swing doesn't get going at all
(at which point, critics would say "see, see …swings just don't work -
this proves it !!").
Establishing the exact pulsing rate needed
for a resonant circuit is not particularly easy, because the circuit
contains coils (which have inductance, capacitance and resistance),
capacitors (which have capacitance and a small amount of resistance) and
resistors and wires, both of which have resistance and some capacitance.
These kinds of circuit are called "LRC" circuits because "L" is the symbol
used for inductance, "R" is the symbol used for resistance and "C" is the
symbol used for capacitance.
Don Smith provides instructions
for winding and using the type of air-core coils needed for a Tesla Coil.
He says:
- Decide a frequency and bear in mind, the economy of the size of
construction selected. The factors are:
(a) Use radio frequency
(above 20 kHz).
(b) Use natural frequency, i.e. match the coil wire
length to the frequency - coils have both capacitance and
inductance.
(c) Make the wire length either one quarter, one half or
the full wavelength.
(d) Calculate the wire length in feet as
follows:
If using one quarter wavelength, then divide 247 by the
frequency in MHz.
If using one half wavelength, then divide 494 by
the frequency in MHz.
If using the full wavelength, then divide 998
by the frequency in MHz.
For wire lengths in metres:
If
using one quarter wavelength, then divide 75.29 by the frequency in
MHz.
If using one half wavelength, then divide 150.57 by the
frequency in MHz.
If using the full wavelength, then divide 304.19 by
the frequency in MHz.
- Choose the number of turns to be used in the coil when winding it
using the wire length just calculated. The number of turns will be
governed by the diameter of the tube on which the coil is to be wound.
Remember that the ratio of the number of turns in the "L - 1" and "L -
2" coils, controls the overall output voltage. For example, if the
voltage applied the large outer coil "L - 1" is 2,400 volts and L - 1
has ten turns, then each turn of L - 1 will have 240 volts dropped
across it. This 240 volts of magnetic induction transfers 240 volts of
electricity to every turn of wire in the inner "L - 2" coil. If the
diameter of L - 2 is small enough to have 100 turns, then the voltage
produced will be 24,000 volts. If the diameter of the L - 2 former
allows 500 turns, then the output voltage will be 120,000 volts.
- Choose the length and diameter of the coils. The larger the diameter
of the coil, the fewer turns can be made with the wire length and so the
coil length will be less, and the output voltage will be lower.
- For example, if 24.7 MHz is the desired output frequency, then the
length of wire, in feet, would be 247 divided by 24.7 which is 10 feet
of wire (3,048 mm). The coil may be wound on a standard size of PVC pipe
or alternatively, purchased from a supplier - typically, an amateur
radio supply store.
If the voltage on each turn of L - 1 is
arranged to be 24 volts and the desired output voltage 640 volts, then
there needs to be 640 / 24 = 26.66 turns on L - 2, wound with the 10
feet of wire already calculated.
Note: At this point, Don's
calculations go adrift and he suggests winding 30 turns on a 2-inch
former. If you do that, then it will take about 16 feet of wire and the
resonant point at 10-feet will be at about 19 turns, giving an output
voltage of 458 volts instead of the required 640 volts, unless the
number of turns on L - 1 is reduced to give more than 24 volts per turn.
However, the actual required diameter of the coil former (plus one
diameter of the wire) is 10 x 12 / (26.67 x 3.14159) = 1.43 inches. You
can make this size of former up quite easily if you want to stay with
ten turns on the L - 1 coil.
- Connect to the start of the coil. To determine the exact resonant
point on the coil, a measurement is made. Off-the-shelf multimeters are
not responsive to high-frequency signals so a cheap neon is used
instead. Holding one wire of the neon in one hand and running the other
neon wire along the outside of the L - 2 winding, the point of brightest
light is located. Then the neon is moved along that turn to find the
brightest point along that turn, and when it is located, a connection is
made to the winding at that exact point. L - 2 is now a resonant
winding. It is possible to increase the ("Q") effectiveness of the coil
by spreading the turns out a bit instead of positioning them so that
each turn touches both of the adjacent turns.
- The input power has been suggested as 2,400 volts. This can be
constructed from a Jacob's ladder arrangement or any step-up voltage
system. An off-the-shelf module as used with lasers is another option.
- Construction of the L - 1 input coil has been suggested as having 10
turns. The length of the wire in this coil is not critical. If a 2-inch
diameter PVC pipe was used for the L - 2 coil, then the next larger size
of PVC pipe can be used for the L - 1 coil former. Cut a 10-turn length
of the pipe (probably a 3-inch diameter pipe). The pipe length will
depend on the diameter of the insulated wire used to make the winding.
Use a good quality multimeter or a specialised LCR meter to measure the
capacitance (in Farads) and the inductance (in henrys) of the L - 2
coil. Now, put a capacitor for matching L - 1 to L - 2 across the
voltage input of L - 1, and a spark gap connected in parallel is
required for the return voltage from L - 1. A trimmer capacitor for L -
1 is desirable.
- The performance of L - 2 can be further enhanced by attaching an
earth connection to the base of the coil. The maximum output voltage
will be between the ends of coil L - 2 and lesser voltages can be taken
off intermediate points along the coil if that is desirable.
Don provides quite an amount of information on one of his
devices shown here:
Without his
description of the device, it would be difficult to understand it's
construction and method of operation. Don's description appears to be for
a somewhat simplified version. As I understand it, the circuit of what is
mounted on this board is as shown here:
The electrical
drive is from a 12-volt battery which is not seen in the photograph.
Interestingly, Don remarks that if the length of the wires connecting the
battery to the inverter are exactly one quarter of the wave length of the
frequency of the oscillating magnetic field generated by the circuit, then
the current induced in the battery wires will recharge the battery
continuously, even if the battery is supplying power to the circuit at the
same time.
The battery supplies a small current through a
protecting diode, to a standard off-the-shelf "true sine-wave" inverter.
An inverter is a device which produces mains-voltage Alternating Current
from a DC battery. As Don wants adjustable voltage, he feeds the output
from the inverter into a variable transformer called a "Variac". This
produces an AC output voltage which is adjustable from zero volts up to
the full mains voltage (or a little higher, though Don does not want, or
use, a higher voltage). The Variac is there so that Don can feed a reduced
AC voltage to the next component of his circuit which is a commercial
Neon-tube driver. The use of a Variac makes it essential for the inverter
to be a true sine-wave type as a Variac cannot adjust the voltage of a
square wave which the cheaper inverters generate. As the power requirement
of the inverter is so low, the inverter should not cost very much.
The neon-tube (or "gas-discharge" tube) driver circuit is a
standard off-the-shelf device used to drive neon tube displays for
commercial establishments. The one used by Don contains an oscillator and
a step-up transformer, which together produce an Alternating Current of
9,000 volts at a frequency of 35,100 Hz (sometimes written as 35.1 kHz).
The term "Hz" stands for "cycles per second". The Variac is there so that
Don can lower that 9,000 volts. He has found that he gets great power
output at lower input voltages. The particular unit which Don is using
here, has two separate outputs, so Don connects them together and uses a
blocking diode in each line to prevent either of them affecting the other
one. Not easily seen in the photograph, the high-voltage output line has a
very small, encapsulated, spark gap connected between it and a ground
connection. This is to trap any voltage spikes by discharging them and
restricting the output voltage. The device is commonly used as a lightning
strike protection device and in Don's circuit it lights continuously when
the device is running. The component looks like this:
The output of
the neon-tube driver circuit is used to drive the primary "L1" winding of
a Tesla Coil style transformer. This looks ever so simple and
straightforward, but there are some subtle details which need to have
attention paid to them
The operating frequency of 35.1 kHz is set
and maintained by the neon-tube driver circuitry, and so we do not have to
do any direct tuning ourselves. That frequency is imposed on the "L1" coil
winding which induces exactly the same frequency on the "L2" secondary
winding. However, we need to pay special attention is the ratio of the
wire lengths of the two coil windings..
Don uses a
plastic tube as the former for his "L1" primary coil winding. As you can
see here, the wire is fed into the former, leaving sufficient clearance to
allow the former to be slid all the way into the outer coil tube. The wire
is fed up inside the pipe and out through another hole to allow the coil
turns to be made on the outside of the pipe. There appear to be five
turns, but Don does not always go for a complete number of turns, so it
might be 4.3 turns or some other value. The key point here is that the
length of wire in the "L1" coil turns is exactly one quarter of the length
of wire in the "L2" coil turns.
The "L2" coil is a commercial
3-inch diameter unit from Barker & Williamson, constructed from
uninsulated, solid, single-strand "tinned" copper wire. Don has taken this
coil and unwound four turns at the centre of the coil in order to make a
centre-tap. He then measured the exact length of wire in the remaining
section and made the length of the "L1" coil turns to be exactly one
quarter of that length. The wire used for the "L1" coil looks like Don's
favourite "Jumbo Speaker Wire" which is a very flexible wire with a very
large number of extremely fine uninsulated copper wires inside it.
You will notice that Don has placed a plastic collar on each side
of the winding, matching the thickness of the wire, in order to create a
secure sliding operation inside the outer "L2" pipe coil former, and the
additional plastic collars positioned further along the pipe provide
further support for the inner coil. This sliding action allows the primary
coil "L1" to be positioned at any point along the length of the "L2"
secondary coil, and that has a marked effect on the operation of the
system.
The "L2" coil
has two separate sections, each of seventeen turns. One point to note is
that while the coil is placed on a larger diameter transparent tube, the
turns are spaced apart using slotted strips to support the wires and
maintain an accurate spacing between adjacent turns. While the spacing
might be to avoid sparking because of the high voltage generated in this
coil, it must be remembered that spacing coil turns apart like this alters
the characteristics of the coil, changing it's main energy-storing
capability from "inductive" to "capacitive" mode. Every coil has
resistance, inductance and capacitance, but the form of the coil
construction has a major effect on the ratio of these three
characteristics. The coil assembly is held in position on the base board
by two off-white plastic cable ties. The nearer half of the coil is
effectively connected across the further half as shown in the circuit
diagram above.
One point which Don stresses, is that the length of
the wire in the "L1" coil and the length of wire in the "L2" coil, must be
an exact even division or multiple of each other (in this case, the "L2"
wire length in each half of the "L2" coil is exactly four times as long as
the "L1" coil wire length). This is likely to cause the "L1" coil to have
part of a turn, due to the different coil diameters. For example, if the
length of the "L2" coil wire is 160 inches and "L1" is to be one quarter
of that length, namely, 40 inches. Then, if the "L1" coil has an effective
diameter of 2.25 inches, (allowing for the thickness of the wire when
wound on a 2-inch diameter former), then the "L1" coil would have 5.65 (or
5 and 2/3) turns which causes the finishing turn of "L2" to be 240 degrees
further around the coil former than the start of the first turn - that is,
five full turns plus two thirds of the sixth turn.
The L1 / L2
coil arrangement is effectively a Tesla Coil. The positioning of the "L1"
coil along the length of the "L2" coil, adjusts the voltage to current
ratio produced by the coil. When the "L1" coil is near the middle of the
"L2" coil, then the amplified voltage and amplified current are roughly
the same. The exact wire ratio of these two coils gives them an almost
automatic tuning with each other, and the exact resonance between them can
be achieved by the positioning of the "L1" coil along the length of the
"L2" coil. While this is a perfectly good way of adjusting the circuit, in
the build shown in the photograph, Don has opted to get the exact tuning
by connecting a capacitor across "L1" as marked as "C" in the circuit
diagram. Don found that the appropriate capacitor value was around the 0.1
microfarad (100 nF) mark. It must be remembered that the voltage across
"L1" is very high, so if a capacitor is used in that position it will need
a voltage rating of at least 9,000 volts. Don remarks that the actual
capacitors seen in the photograph of this prototype are rated at fifteen
thousand volts, and were custom made for him using a "self-healing" style
of construction. As has already been remarked, this capacitor is an
optional component. Don also opted to connect a small capacitor across the
"L2" coil, also for fine-tuning of the circuit, and that component is
optional and so is not shown on the circuit diagram. As the two halves of
the "L2" coil are effectively connected across each other, it is only
necessary to have one fine-tuning capacitor:
There are
various ways of dealing with the output from the "L2" coil in order to get
large amounts of conventional electrical power out of the device. The
method shown here uses the four very large capacitors seen in the
photograph. These have an 8,000 or 9,000 volt rating and a large capacity
and they are used to store the circuit power as DC prior to use in the
load equipment. This is achieved by feeding the capacitor bank through a
diode which is rated for both high voltage and high current, as Don states
that the device produces 8,000 volts at 20 amps, in which case, this
rectifying diode has to be able to handle that level of power, both at
start-up when the capacitor bank is fully discharged and "L2" is producing
8,000 volts, and when the full load of 20 amps is being drawn
In
passing, it might be remarked that the average home user will not have an
electrical requirement of anything remotely like as large as this, seeing
that 10 kW is more than most people use on a continuous basis, while 8 KV
at 20 A is a power of 160 kilowatts. As the neon-tube driver circuit can
put out 9,000 volts and since the L1 / L2 coil system is a step-up
transformer, if the voltage fed to the capacitor bank is to be kept down
to 8,000 volts, then the Variac must be used to reduce the voltage fed to
the neon-tube driver circuit, in order to lower the voltage fed to the L1
/ L2 coil pair, typically, to 3,000 volts.
At this point,
the storage capacitor bank behaves like an 8,000 volt battery which never
runs down and which can supply 20 amps of current for as long as you want.
The circuitry for producing a 220 volt 50 Hz AC output or a 110 volt 60 Hz
AC output from the storage capacitors is just standard electronics. In
passing, one option for charging the battery is to use the magnetic field
caused by drawing mains-frequency current pulses through the output
"choke" coil, shown here:
The output
current flows through the left hand winding on the brown cylindrical
former, and when the photograph was taken, the right-hand winding was no
longer in use. Previously, it had been used to provide charging power to
the battery by rectifying the electrical power in the coil, caused by the
fluctuating magnetic field caused by the pulsing current flowing through
the left hand winding, as shown here:
The DC output
produced by the four diodes is then used to charge the driving battery,
and the power level produced is substantially greater than the minor
current drain from the battery. Consequently, it is a sensible precaution
to pass this current to the battery via a circuit which prevents the
battery voltage rising higher than it should. A simple voltage level
sensor can be used to switch off the charging when the battery has reached
its optimum level. Simple circuitry of the type shown in chapter 12 can be
used for this. So the components on the board being displayed are like
this:
Don draws
attention to the fact that the cables used to connect the output of "L2"
to the output of the board, connecting the storage capacitors on the way,
are very high-voltage rated cables with special multiple coverings to
ensure that the cables will remain sound over an indefinite period.
Please bear in mind that the voltages here and
their associated power levels are literally lethal and perfectly capable
of killing anyone who handles the device carelessly when it is powered up.
When a replication of this device is ready for routine use, it must be
encased so that none of the high-voltage connections can be touched by
anyone. This is not a suggestion, but it is a mandatory requirement,
despite the fact that the components shown in the photographs are laid out
in what would be a most dangerous fashion were the circuit to be powered
up as it stands. Under no circumstances, construct and test this circuit
unless you are already experienced in the use of high-voltage circuits or
can be supervised by somebody who is experienced in this field. This is a
"one hand in the pocket at all times" type of circuit and it needs to be
treated with great care and respect at all times, so be sensible.
The remainder of the circuit is not mounted on the
board, possibly because there are various ways in which the required end
result can be achieved. The one suggested here is perhaps the most simple
solution:
The voltage
has to be dropped, so an iron-cored mains-frequency step-down transformer
is used to do this. To get the frequency to the standard mains frequency
for the country in which the device is to be used, a mains-frequency
oscillator is used to generate that frequency. The oscillator output is
used to drive a suitable high-voltage semiconductor device, be it an FET
transistor, an IGBT device, or whatever. This device has to switch the
working current at 8,000 volts, though admittedly, that will be a current
which will be at least thirty six times lower than the final output
current, due to the higher voltage on the primary winding of the
transformer.
As the circuit is capable of picking up additional
magnetic pulses, such as those generated by other equipment, nearby
lightning strikes, etc. an electronic component called a "varistor" marked
"V" in the diagram, is connected across the load. This device acts as a
voltage spike suppressor as it short circuits any voltage above its design
voltage, protecting the load from power surges.
Don also explains
an even more simple version of the circuit as shown here:
This
simplified circuit avoids the need for expensive capacitors and the
constraints of their voltage ratings, and the need for electronic control
of the output frequency. The wire length in the turns of coil "L2" still
needs to be exactly four times the wire length of the turns in coil "L1",
but there is only one component which needs to be introduced, and that is
the resistor "R" placed across the primary winding of the step-down
isolation transformer. This transformer is a laminated iron-core type,
suitable for the low mains frequency, but the output from "L2" is at much
higher frequency. It is possible to pull the frequency down to suit the
step-down transformer by connecting the correct value of resistor "R"
across the output transformer (or a coil and resistor, or a coil and a
capacitor). The value of resistor needed can be predicted from the
American Radio Relay League graph (shown as Fig.44 in Don's .pdf document
which can be downloaded free from the www.free-energy-info.com website).
The correct value could also be found by experimentation. You will notice
that an earthed dual spark gap has been placed across "L2" in order to
make sure that the voltage levels always stay within the design range. Don
remarks that he intends this particular device to be built by anyone who
wants to, providing power for that person's needs and that some two
hundred replications have already been built.
Don also explains an
even more simple version which does not need a Variac, high voltage
capacitors or high voltage diodes. Here, a DC output is accepted which
means that high-frequency step-down transformer operation can be used.
This calls for an air-core transformer which you would wind yourself from
heavy duty high voltage wire. Mains loads would then be powered by using a
standard off-the-shelf inverter. In this version, it is of course,
necessary to make the "L1" turns wire length exactly one quarter of the
"L2" turns wire length in order to make the two coils resonate together.
The operating frequency of each of these coils is imposed on them by the
output frequency of the neon-tube driver circuit. That frequency is
maintained throughout the entire circuit until it is rectified by the four
diodes feeding the low-voltage storage capacitor. The target output
voltage will be either just over 12 volts or just over 24 volts, depending
on the voltage rating of the inverter which is to be driven by the system.
The circuit diagram is:
Another
device of Don's is particularly attractive in that almost no construction
is needed, all of the components being available commercially, and the
output power being adaptable to any level which you want. Don particularly
likes this circuit because it demonstrates COP>1 so neatly.
The coil in
the centre of the board is a power transmitter made from a Tesla Coil
constructed from two Barker & Williamson ready-made coils. Three more
of the inner coil are also used as power receivers. The outer, larger
diameter coil is a few turns taken from one of their standard coils and
organised so that the coil wire length is one quarter of the coil wire
length of the inner coil ("L2").
As before, a commercial neon-tube
driver module is used to power the "L1" outer coil with high voltage and
high frequency. It should be understood that as power is drawn from the
local environment each time the power driving the transmitter coil "L1"
cycles, that the power available is very much higher at higher
frequencies. The power at mains frequency of less than 100 Hz is far, far
less than the power available at 35,000 Hz, so if faced with the choice of
buying a 25 kHz neon-tube driver module or a 35 kHz module, then the 35
kHz module is likely to give a much better output power at every voltage
level.
The "L1" short
outer coil is held in a raised position by the section of white plastic
pipe in order to position it correctly relative to the smaller diameter
"L2" secondary coil. Again, it appears to have five turns:
The secondary
coils are constructed using Barker & Williamson's normal method of
using slotted strips to hold the tinned, solid copper wire turns in place.
As there are
very slight differences in the manufactured coils, each one is tuned to
the exact transmitter frequency and a miniature neon is used to show when
the tuning has been set correctly.
The key feature of this device
is the fact that any number of receiver coils can be placed anywhere near
the transmitter and each will receive a full electrical pick up from the
local environment, without altering the power needed to drive the Tesla
Coil transmitter - more and more output without increasing the input power
- unlimited COP values, all of which are over 1. The extra power is
flowing in from the local environment where there is almost unlimited
amounts of excess energy.
Each of the pick up coils act exactly
the same as the "L2" secondary coil of the Tesla Coil transmitter, each
picking up the same level of power. Just as with the actual "L2" coil,
each will need an output circuit arrangement as described for the previous
device. Presumably, the coils could be connected in parallel to increase
the output amperage, as they are all resonating at the same frequency and
in phase with each other. Alternatively, each could have its own separate
output circuit with a step-down isolation transformer and frequency
adjustment as before. If any output is to be a rectified DC output, then
no frequency adjustment is needed, just rectifier diodes and a smoothing
capacitor following the step-down transformer which will need to be an air
core or ferrite core type due to the high frequency.
There are two
practical points which need to be mentioned. Firstly, as the Don Smith
devices shown above feed radio frequency waveforms to coils which transmit
those signals, it may be necessary to enclose the device in an earthed
metal container in order not to transmit illegal radio signals. Secondly,
as it can be difficult to obtain high-voltage high-current diodes, they
can be constructed from several lower power diodes. To increase the
voltage rating, diodes can be wired in a chain. Suitable diodes are
available as repair items for microwave ovens. These typically have about
4,000 volt ratings and can carry a good level of current. As there will be
minor manufacturing differences in the diodes, it is good practice to
connect a high value resistor (in the 1 to 10 megohm range) across each
diode as that ensures that there is a roughly equal voltage drop across
each of the diodes:
If the diode
rating of these diodes were 4 amps at 4,000 volts, then the chain of five
could handle 4 amps at 20,000 volts. The current capacity can be increased
by connecting two or more chains in parallel.

patent application from Kwang-jeek Lee in which he shows clearly how
arranging a resonant circuit which is placed between the power supply and
the load which is being power by that power supply can have a spectacular
effect. His patent application may be a little difficult for some to
follow in detail, and if that is the case then please just pay attention
to the overall effect as described by him here:

CIRCUIT FOR TRANSMITTING AMPLIFIED RESONANT POWER TO A LOAD
ABSTRACT
A circuit for transferring amplified
resonant power to a load is disclosed. The circuit transfers amplified
resonant power, which is generated in an inductor of a conventional
transformer when serial or parallel resonance of a conventional power
supply is formed. This amplified power is transferred to a load through
the conventional transformer. The circuit comprises of: a power supply for
producing and supplying voltage or current; a power amplifier for
generating amplified resonant power using the voltage or current; and a
power transferring unit for transferring the amplified resonant power to
the load using a transformer
TECHNICAL
FIELD
The present invention relates to a power amplifier
circuit and its power transferring capabilities. More particularly, this
invention relates to a circuit which can transfer amplified resonant
power, to a load through a conventional transformer, the power being
generated by an inductor of a conventional transformer when serial or
parallel resonance of a conventional power supply is formed.
BACKGROUND ART
An electric power supply
produces electric power and supplies that electric power to a load which
is connected directly to it. An example of such an electric power supply
is an electric generator. When such an electric generator produces
electric power, a transformer is used to transform the electric power into
a voltage or current suited to the resistance of the load and then
supplies it to the load.
With a conventional power supply, a
primary power supply provides electric power directly to a load. That is,
the consumption power of the load is directly provided by the independent
power supply. A method where electric power provided from an independent
power supply is amplified and then supplied to a load has not been known.
If this is done, then the electric power consumption can be reduced. That
is, such an idea becomes a landmark in the industry.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is
an object of the present invention to provide a circuit for transferring
amplified resonant power to a load. A circuit which is capable of
transferring Q times the original power as an amplified resonant power
output. This power is generated at an inductor of a conventional
transformer when serial or parallel resonance of a conventional power
supply is formed. This power is then passed to a load through a
conventional transformer, thereby providing a higher amount of power to
the load than can be supplied by a conventional circuit.
In
accordance with an aspect of the present invention, the above and other
objects can be accomplished by the provision of a circuit for transferring
amplified resonant power to a load, comprising:
- A power supply for producing and supplying voltage or current;
- A power amplifier for generating amplified resonant power using that
voltage or current; and
- A power-transferring unit for transferring the amplified resonant
power to the load using a transformer.
Preferably, the power
supply either supplies AC voltage, AC current, DC voltage or DC current.
Ideally, the power amplifier should include:
- A primary inductor of the transformer; and
- A capacitor connected to the primary inductor in serial or in
parallel.
Here, the amplified resonant power is stored in the
primary inductor. Ideally, the reflective impedance at the primary side of
the transformer has a relatively small value so that the power amplifier
can maintain resonance.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE
INVENTIONPreferred embodiments of a circuit for transferring
amplified resonant power, configured to include the above-described means,
and their operations, will be described in detail with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Fig.1, the circuit of the present invention is configured to
include: a power supply 10 for producing and supplying electric power, a
power amplifier 20 for resonating the electric power provided from the
power supply 10 to generate amplified resonant power, and storing it; and
a power-transferring unit 30 for transferring the amplified resonant power
of the power amplifier 20 to a load 40.
The power supply 10 means
a general purpose, independent power source. This is used in such a way so
that its output voltage is increased or decreased to a voltage necessary
for the load transformer, and then transferred to the load. However, in
the present invention, the power supply 10 only functions as an accessory
circuit which supplies current or voltage to the power amplifier 20 so
that the power amplifier 20 can amplify it. The power supply 10 does not
provide its electric power directly to the load.
The independent
power supply source functioning as the power supply 10 may be implemented
with an AC source and a DC source. The AC source includes an AC voltage
source and an AC current source. The DC source includes a DC voltage
source and a DC current source. When the power supply is a DC source, the
output of the DC source can be converted to AC power by using an inverter.
The power amplifier 20 produces amplified resonant power using the
voltage and current coming from the power supply 10. In an embodiment of
the present invention, the amplified resonant power is transferred to a
load through a transformer. More specifically, the power amplifier 20
produces the amplified resonant power using the primary inductor of the
transformer, and that amplified power is then stored in the primary
inductor.
Here, the power amplifier 20 is configured to include
the primary inductor of the transformer and a capacitor connected to the
primary inductor, either in serial or in parallel. The power amplifier 20
resonates and amplifies the power provided from the power supply 10 and
then stores it in the inductor.
The power amplifier 20 contains an
inductor (L) and capacitor (C), which are electrical parts which store
energy, these are effectively connected to the power supply 10, and this
enables the inductor (L) and capacitor (C) to synchronise with the
frequency of the power source and so to form serial or parallel resonance.
Therefore, the source power is amplified Q times and then stored in the
inductor (L) and the capacitor (C).
When serial resonance is
formed at a source voltage of Vg , Q times the source voltage, i.e., Q x
Vg volts, is applied to the inductor. Here, the serial resonant power P
caused by the resonant current Io flowing in the inductor is generated
such that Ps =Q x Vg x Io watts.
On the other hand, when parallel
resonance is formed, Q times input current of Ig , i.e., Q x Ig amps,
flows into the inductor. Here, parallel resonant power Pp by a voltage Vp
between both leads of the inductor generates as Pp = Q x Ig x Vp watts.
As such, in using serial or parallel resonance, the inductor for
resonance stores Q times the input power P in it. Here, the type of
resonance can be chosen according to the object of the circuit design, and
here, the power generated in the inductor is reactive power, and, for
convenience, will be denoted by power P.
The amplified resonant
power, generated by the power amplifier 20, is transferred to the load 40
by the power transferring unit 30 which is a standard transformer. The
power transferring unit 30 transfers the power, amplified Q times by the
transformer in the power amplifier 20 , to the load. In order to transfer
power in the most efficient manner, it is preferable that the coupling
coefficient k be close to 1.
When serial resonance is formed,
voltage V2 at the secondary side of the transformer, which will now be
referred to as the "secondary voltage V2" , can be calculated by the
following equation, based on the transformer principle. Here, the current
I2 at the secondary side, which will now be referred to as "secondary
current I2" , is assumed to be zero.
V2 = k x V1 / n so
V2 = k x Q x Vg / n or
V2 =(Q / n ) x k x Vg
Where:
Q is a quality factor of the circuit
n is the
turns ratio of the transformer
k is the coupling coefficient
Vg is
the source voltage and
V1 denotes a voltage between both leads of the
inductor when it is in serial resonance.
When the transformer is
operating, the secondary current I2 flows in the secondary side of the
transformer. Then, reflective impedance Z21 is reflected from the
secondary side to the primary side, thereby suppressing resonance at the
primary side.
Therefore, the reflective impedance at the primary
side, which will now be referred to as the "primary reflective impedance",
is designed to be relatively small in order to maintain resonance in the
power amplifier 20. In the present invention, an equation for voltage
transfer to the secondary side and an equation for adjusting reflective
impedance Z21 when resonance is formed, are derived and then applied to
the circuit design. Therefore, based on the transformer principle, the
present invention allows the amplified resonant power to be transferred to
the load without loss.
The load 40 is a circuit which is provided
with the power amplified Q times at the primary inductor of the
transformer. When the secondary current I2 is not zero, resonance of the
primary side of the transformer is broken by the reflective impedance of
the transformer. To prevent this, the reflective impedance Z21 must be
adjusted and resistance R0 of the load must be chosen to be the optimum
value needed to maintain the resonance of the primary side of the
transformer.
An embodiment
of the circuit for transferring amplified resonant power to the load, as
configured above, according to the present invention, is illustrated in
Fig.2. Here, the circuit includes: a power supply 10 having an AC
voltage source (Vg) and an internal resister (Rg) a power amplifier 20
having a primary inductor (L1) of a transformer and a capacitor (C1)
serially connected to the inductor (L1) a power transferring unit 30
having the transformer and a load (R0) inputting resonant power, amplified
by the power transferring unit 30.
Fig.3
shows equivalent circuit diagrams of a three-phase synchronous electric
generator according to an embodiment of the present invention. In such a
circuit, jXs denotes reactance of an electric generator and R1 denotes
resistance of the inductor. The present invention transfers electric power
to the load in such a way that: in order to apply an equivalent circuit
for a single phase electric power generation to a circuit, a capacitor is
added the circuit power is amplified by using resonance; and the amplified
resonant power is provided directly to the load using the transformer
principle. Therefore, the present invention transfers the amplified power
to the load. On the other hand, the conventional power supply is connected
directly to the load and transfers it's power to it.
Fig.4A
and
Fig.4B are diagrams illustrating a single-phase equivalent
circuit of an electric generator to which serial or parallel resonance is
applied to amplify the electric power. Such a circuit is arranged to
include a power supply 10 and a power amplifier 20.
As shown in
Fig.4A, a circuit to which serial resonance is applied, if
resistance R1 of a coil is neglected, the quality factor Qs is expressed
as
Qs = omega x L1 / Rg
Where:
Rg is the internal resistance of the power supply, and
R1 is the loss resistance of the coil.
Here, the factor Qs of a circuit is generally greater than 10. Also,
a voltage V1 between both leads of an inductor (L1) in serial resonance is
expressed as V1 x Qs x Vg. Here, the power P1 stored in the inductor (L1)
is expressed as follows:
P1 = V1 x Io or
P1 = Qs x Vg x Io or
P1 = Qs x Vg2 / Rg
Where: Io = Vg / Rg (Io being the resonance current)
As
well, the source power Pg in serial resonance is expressed as:
Pg = Vg x Io or
Pg = Vg2 / Rg therefore:
P1 = Qs x Pg showing that the inductor (L1) when in serial
resonance, inputs Qs times the input power.
As shown in
Fig.4B, the circuit to which parallel resonance is applied, just
like the serial resonant circuit, Q times the input power is applied to
both leads of the inductor. Since such power amplification in the parallel
resonant circuit is similar to that of the serial resonant circuit, which
has already been described above, its description will be omitted.
Fig.5 is
an equivalent circuit diagram of a transformer used in the
power-transferring unit 30 according to an embodiment of the present
invention.
If the transformer of the power transferring unit 30 is
assumed to be ideal, then the input power P1 of the primary side can be
transferred to the secondary side without loss. Therefore, the power P2 at
the secondary side becomes the input power P1 , i.e., P1 = P2 However,
when considering the coupling coefficient k and turns ratio n, the
secondary side can be expressed, if coil resistance is neglected, as
follows:
V2 = k x V1 / n
I2 = k x n x I1
P2 = V2 x I2 or
P2 = k2 x P1
On the other hand, when internal resistance Rg of the power supply
exists and the secondary current I2 is not zero, as a load having
resistance Ro is connected to the secondary side, reflective impedance Z
21 is coupled to the primary side. Here, the reflective impedance Z21 can
be expressed as:
Z21 = -(sM)2 / Z22 or
Z21 = R21 + jX21 ohms.
Fig.6A
and
Fig.6B are equivalent circuit diagrams of the primary and
secondary sides of a transformer, respectively, when the resonant power
amplified by the serial resonant circuit of
Fig.4A is transferred
to the secondary side of the transformer, based on the transformer
principle, as shown in
Fig.5.
As shown in
Fig.6B, in
the equivalent circuit diagram of the secondary side of the transformer,
I1 is the primary current and Z12 is the mutual inductance.
As
shown in
Fig.6A, when the power supply circuit at the primary side
is configured to be a serial resonant circuit and a load is connected to
the secondary side circuit, reflective impedance Z21 appears in the
resonant circuit at the primary side. When the circuit is designed so that
the reflective impedance Z21 hardly affects the resonant circuit at the
primary side, the resonant circuit continues its resonance. Then, the
power amplified by such resonance is transferred to the secondary side,
based on the transformer principle, so that amplified power can be fed to
the load.
The following is a detailed description of exemplary
experiments to prove the above-described embodiments of the present
invention.
Fig.7 is
a view illustrating a transformer used in a practical experiment for an
embodiment of the present invention. The transformer is designed in such a
way that coils are wound around a ferrite core to form primary and
secondary sides whose inductances are each 348 mH and whose turns ratio is
n:1. Also, the transformer is operated in serial resonance mode. Here, the
DC resistance of the coil is 2.8 ohms and the coupling coefficient k is
0.742.
For this experiment, a Tektronix CFG 280 signal generator,
whose internal impedance is 50 ohms, was used as an AC power source and a
serial resonance frequency of 304 KHz was used. A Tektronix TDS 220
oscilloscope was used to measure the voltages.

an equivalent circuit diagram of an electric power amplification/transfer
experimental circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Fig.9A
and
Fig.9B are equivalent circuit diagrams of the primary and
secondary sides in the equivalent circuit of
Fig.8.
At the
primary side of the equivalent circuit shown in
Fig.9A, the
equivalent resistance RT can be expressed as RT = Rg + R1 + R21 Here, when
a load (Ro) is connected to the circuit, the quality factor Qs can be
expressed as Qs = XL1 / RT Thus, the smaller the reflective impedance R21,
the greater the power amplification.
Therefore, if the reflective
impedance Z21 is minimised at the primary side to maintain resonance when
the circuit is designed, the amplified resonant power is transferred to
the secondary side without loss, based on the transformer principle, such
that the voltage and current corresponding to the transferred power can
appear at the secondary side. Accordingly, the voltage at the primary
side, when amplified by serial resonance, becomes Qs x Vg, and the voltage
V2 at the secondary side is expressed as V2 = (Q2 / n) x k x Vg. When the
coupling coefficient k is 1 and the turns ratio n is 1, the secondary
voltage V2 is amplified to become Q times the source power Vg and then
applied to the load connected to the secondary side.
Since the
secondary current I2 is k x n x I1 , when n = 1 and k = 1, then I2 = I1.
Here, I1 is the resonant current of the primary side and is transferred to
the secondary side without loss.
Therefore, the power P2
transferred to the secondary side is expressed as the following equation:
P2 = V2 x I2 or
P2 = (Qs / n) x k x Vg x k x n x I1 or
P2 = Qs x k2 x Vg x I1 or
P2 = Qs x k2 x P1
The equation above shows that when resonance is achieved and k = 1,
then the calculation for the output power P2 , shows that Qs times the
input power is transferred to the secondary side. The load does not draw
electric power from the power supply but instead, draws it's power from
the resonant power amplified by the power amplifier, which is it's main
power supply. Thus, the power supply functions as a trigger (an auxiliary
circuit) allowing this resonance to be maintained.
In the
experimental circuits shown in Fig.9A and Fig.9B, when the load resistance
Ro is assumed to be 170K ohms, the reflective impedance Z21 is expressed
as follows:
Z21 = -(sM)2 / Z22 or
Z21 = 1.43 - j5.6 x 10-3 ohms or
Z21 = R21 + jX21 ohms
Assuming that:
Rg = 50 ohms,
Ro = 170K ohms,
XL1 = 665 ohms,
XL2 = 665 ohms,
k = 0.742, and
n = 1.
As described in the equation, since the reflective resistance R21 of
1.43 ohms, is substantially smaller than the internal resistance Rg which
is 50 ohms, it hardly affects Qs the overall performance factor of
circuit. Also, since the reflective capacitive reactance X21, which is 5.6
x 10
-3 ohms, is substantially smaller than the inductive
reactance of 665 ohms at the primary side, this resonance can be
maintained continuously.
The following table, "
Table 1",
shows experimental measured data showing the available output power
provided to a load (Ro) using a resonant circuit of the power supply whose
internal resistance Rg is 50 ohms and whose voltage is 1 volt. Here, the
data were obtained when the coupling coefficient k was 0.742. However,
when the coupling coefficient k is 1, then, V2 = V1 and the power provided
to the load is as described in
Table 1. Here, XL2 is neglected,
because Ro is very much greater than XL2 when the power provided to the
load is calculated.
Where: Vg = 1 volt,
k = 0.742, and n = 1.
In
Table 1, since the source voltage
Vg is 1 volt, the value of the quality factor of the circuit Qs is equal
to the magnitude of the voltage V1 applied to the inductor (L1).
Therefore, the voltage V2, transferred to the secondary side, is k x V1.
Also, when I2 = 0, the quality factor Q2 at the primary side is
expressed as:
Qs = XL1 / (Rg + R1) or
Qs = 665 ohms / 52.8 ohms and so
Qs = 12.59 ohms.
Provided that Rg the internal resistance of the power supply is 50
ohms, and R1 the DC resistance of the primary coil is 2.8 ohms.
Since the case where load resistance Ro is 1M ohms is similar to
that where I2 = 0, Qs must be 12.59 like the theoretical value but, as
described in
Table 1, the experimental value is measured as 8.97.
Such a result is estimated because the value of the factor Qs is reduced
by resistance caused by the high frequency of the coil as well as the DC
resistance of the coil.
Therefore, based on such a result,
effective resistance Reff of the primary circuit can be calculated as:
Reff = XL1 / Qs that is,
Reff = 667 / 8.97 = 74.1 ohms.
Thus, the experiment circuit is estimated as being operated in a
state where the effective resistance Reff is 74.1 ohms and the internal
resistance Rg of the power source is 50 ohms.
Table 1 shows that
the quality factor Qs according to change of load resistance Ro is XL1 /
(Reff + R21 ), i.e., Qs = XL1 / (Reff + R21).
Table 1 shows that,
when the load resistance Ro is 1.2K ohms, the reflective resistance R21 is
202.89 ohms and voltage amplification is approximately 2.4 times.
Therefore, if a circuit designed to have such characteristics, is operated
in this way, then, when the load resistance Ro is increased, the
reflective resistance R21 and the reflective impedance Z21 are decreased
but the quality factor Qs is increased.
The following
Table 2 describes value calculated by an equation when the coupling
coefficient k set to that of the resonant equivalent circuit of
Fig.8.
Where: Vg = 1 volt,
k = 1, and n = 1.
In
Table 2, since the reflective
resistance R21 is changed according to a change in the load resistance Ro
when k = 1, when each Ro in
Table 1 and
Table 2 is 1.2K ohms
or 870 ohms, the available power provided to the load (Ro) is decreased
more than it is in the case of k = 0.742. Such a result is because the
parameters used for the reflective impedance Z21, such as the coupling
coefficient k, the load resistance Ro, the turns ratio n, and the
reactance XL1, are associated with the design of a circuit for the
transfer of resonant power.
The following
Table 3 shows
comparisons of magnitude of available power provided to a load (Ro) when
the load (Ro) is connected directly to the source voltage, with that of
available power provided to a load (Ro) when the load is connected to an
experimental circuit for power amplification with a 1-volt voltage source,
as shown in
Fig.8.
Fig.10
is a circuit diagram where a power supply is directly connected to a load
to supply its power to the load. Here, since the value of Ro is very much
greater than the value of Rg, the internal resistance Rg of the power
supply is neglected.
As described in
Table 1, in the circuit where Qs is maintained at 6.56 in serial
resonance, the available power provided to the load having load resistance
Ro of 10K ohms, as described in
Table 3, is 24.2 times the power in
the case of k = 0.742 and 31.58 times the power in the case of k = 1 than
that of the case where the load is directly connected to the power supply.
This means that the load is provided with amplified power, Qs2 times
greater than that of the conventional power providing method.
The
following is a detailed description of a circuit for amplifying and
supplying source power using parallel resonance, based on the experiment
results.
Home electric power is provided in such a way that 6,600
volts is transmitted to a transformer nearest to a home and a transformer
then steps the voltage down to a single phase 220-volts to supply it to
the home, so that home appliances can use it.
Fig.11
is an equivalent circuit diagram for transferring electric power to loads
in a home. The circuit is designed in such a way that load resistance Ro
is 1 ohm and a factor Qp of a desired circuit is 8.58. Here, the internal
resistance of the power supply is neglected.
Here, the primary
voltage of the transformer is 6,600 volts and the secondary voltage is 220
volts. In addition, when the coupling coefficient k of the transformer is
assumed to be 1, the turns ratio n is 30 (that is, V1 / V2 or 6,600 /
220). Also, the resistance of a load in the home is assumed to be 1 ohm.
Here, in order to apply 220 volts to the load, the reactance at
the secondary side of transformer shown in
Fig.11 must be chosen in
such a way to be 1% of the load resistance, i.e., 0.0105 ohms. Since the
reactance X1 at the primary side and the reactance X2 at the secondary
side are each proportional to the square of the turns ratio, XL1 =
n
2 x XL2 which is 30
2 x (0.0105) or 9.44 ohms. Here,
since the reflective impedance Z21 is -(sM)
2 / Z22 or 0.1 -
j0.01 ohms, and so it hardly affects the circuit at the primary side.
Therefore, a
parallel resonance circuit of the primary side, for amplifying power, is
applied to the power amplification circuit using parallel resonance, as
shown in
Fig.12, thereby transferring the amplified resonant power
to the secondary side.
Here, when the resistance RL1 of the coil
at the primary side is assumed to be 1 ohm, the performance factor of the
circuit Qp is 8.58 (that is, XL1 / Reff which is 9.44 ohms / 1.1 ohms).
Provided that Reff =RL1 + R21. Also, the resistance R1 in the parallel
resonance is 81 ohms (Reff x Q2 or 1.1 ohms x (8.58)2). Here, the internal
resistance of the power supply is neglected.
Fig.13
is an equivalent circuit diagram of a current source, which is modified
from the circuit of
Fig.12 as the voltage source is replaced with
the current source.
As shown in
Fig.13, the resonant
current Io is 81.5 amps (as V1 / R1 is 6,600 volts / 81 ohms). The primary
reactance X1 allows a circulating current of 699 amps, which corresponds
to Io (81.5 amps) times Qp , to be flowing in it. The 6,600 volts is
applied to both leads of the primary reactance, therefore, under these
conditions, the parallel resonant power P1R is 4,613.4 kilowatts (V1 x Qp
x Io which is 6,600 volts x 699 amps).
However, in the equivalent
circuit of
Fig.11, when the coil resistance RL1 is neglected, the
current I1 flowing in the primary reactance XL1 is 699 amps (V1 / XL1 =
6,600 volts / 9.44 ohms, therefore, the power P1 applied to the primary
reactance XL1 is 4,613.4 kilowatts (as V1 x I1 = 6,600 volts x 699 amps).
Therefore, the parallel resonant power P1R of 4,613.4 kilowatts in
parallel resonance is identical, in magnitude, to the power P1 of 4,613.4
kilowatts, not in resonance, and transferred to the load through the
transformer. From the point of view of the power supply, it must produce
power P1 of 4,613.4 kilowatts, not in resonance. However, since the source
power Pg in parallel resonance, as shown in the equivalent circuit of
Fig.13, is 0.54 kilowatts (as V1 x Io is 6,600 volts x 0.0815
amps), the power supply in resonance may produce P1 times 1/Qs. Therefore,
from the point of view of the electric generator, its output power seems
to be increased. On the other hand, such an effect can be obtained in an
identical fashion from a circuit which is in serial resonance.
The
present invention can save more of a load's consumption power than the
conventional method can.
The following describes theoretical
proposals for how the present invention can be applied to home appliances
to save consumption power, based on the experiment results.
A
typical home appliance steps the voltage down from 220 volts to a required
voltage using a transformer and then leaves the stepped-down voltage as AC
or converts it to DC to provide the necessary power to loads, for example,
an apparatus might have requirement for power supplied at 6 volts and a
current of 0.3 amps.
Here, the equivalent resistance Ro of the
load is 20 ohms (V2 / I2 = 6 volts / 0.3 amps). In order to apply 99% of
the voltage to the load (Ro), XL2 is chosen to be 0.2 ohms. Here, the
turns ratio n is 36.7 (V1 /V2 = 220 volts / 6 volts), and the primary
reactance XL1 is 269 ohms (n
2 x XL2 = 36.72 x 0.2 ohms).
Also, when the reflective impedance Z21 and the resistance RL1 of
the primary coil (L1) are chosen so that Z21 = -(sM)
2 / Z22 =
2.7 - j0.027 ohms and RL1 = 40 ohms, the reflective impedance Z21 hardly
affects the primary circuit. Such an equivalent circuit of the transformer
is illustrated in
Fig.14, in which the internal resistance of the
power supply is neglected.
In
Fig.14, in order to apply 6 volts to the load (Ro) of 20 ohms, the
primary current I1 needs approximately 818 milliamps (i.e., I1 = V1 / XL1
= 220 volts / 269 ohms which is about 818 milliamps), assuming that the
resistance RL1 of the primary coil is neglected.
Therefore, the
power actually consumed by the load (Ro) is determined by the primary
voltage, 220 volts, and the current, 818 milliamps, of the primary side of
the transformer shown in
Fig.14.
Fig.15
shows an equivalent circuit diagram modified from the circuit of
Fig.14 as the voltage source is replaced with a current source. The
circuit of
Fig.15 is configured to be operated in parallel
resonance.
In
Fig.15, the internal resistance of the power
supply is neglected. In the equivalent circuit using parallel resonance,
the performance factor Qp is obtained as Qp = XL1 / (RL1 + R21) = 269 ohms
/ (40 + 27) ohms which is about 6.3. As well, the primary circuit
resistance R1 is obtained as R1 = (RL1 + R21) x Qp
2 which is
42.7 x 6.3 which is about 1,694.7 ohms.
Therefore, the primary
current I1 is identical to the resonant current Io , and is given by Io =
V1 / R1 or 220 volts / 1,694.7 ohms which is about 129.8 milliamps. Thus,
the current Iq, flowing in the primary reactance XL1, is calculated as Iq
=Qp x Io which is 6.3 x 129.8 milliamps or about 818 milliamps.
So, under the conditions where the coupling coefficient k is 1 and
the turns ratio n is 36.7, the voltage V2 and current I2 , obtained as V2
= V1 / n or 220 volts / 36.7 which is about 6 volts, and I2 = n x IQ or
36.7 x 818 milliamps which is about 30 amps, respectively, are transferred
to the load at the secondary side of the transformer. Thus, the load can
be operated by the voltage V2 and current I2 , used as the regular voltage
and current of the load.
However, since the consumption power of
the load is caused by the power induced at the primary side of the
transformer, the load actually consumes power caused by voltage and
current used at the primary side. Therefore, when the resonance shown in
the equivalent circuit of
Fig.14 is not used, the primary current
I1 is approximately 818 milliamps and the current Io , flowing in the
primary side in parallel resonance shown in
Fig.15, is
approximately 129.8 milliamps. Since the circuit inputs the same 220
volts, it can reduce the power, provided to the load when in parallel
resonance, by a factor of approximately 6.3 times than would otherwise be
provided to the load when operating in a mode which is not in resonance.
That is, the circuit can reduce the power consumption when operating in
parallel resonance by Qp times, compared to the non-resonance mode of
operation.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITYAs
described above, the circuit according to the present invention can
transfer amplified power to a load, compared to the conventional circuit
where the electric power is simply transferred to the load using an
electric generator and a transformer. To this end, the circuit of the
present invention is configured in such a way that: resonance (serial or
parallel resonance) is formed at the side of the power supply; and the
transformer circuit, used for transferring power to the load, is designed
so that its reflective impedance can be set with a value to maintain the
resonance. Therefore, the amplified resonant power is transferred to the
load. That is, the circuit according to the present invention does not
transfer the power, produced by an electric generator as a main power
source, to the load, but instead, transfers amplified resonant power to
the load.
In the circuit according to the present invention, the
power supply (an electric generator, etc.) is regarded as an auxiliary
circuit to the production of resonant power. Power to be transferred to a
load is amplified by a parallel or serial resonant circuit, thereby
providing amplified resonant power to the load, compared to the
conventional circuit where power produced by an electric generator is fed
directly to the load. Therefore, the circuit of the present invention can
appear to reduce the consumption power required to operate the load.
The present invention is operated to transfer resonant power to a
load through a transformer, and may be set up as either a serial or
parallel resonant circuit. Therefore, the present invention can be
usefully applied to industrial power applications while satisfying energy
conservation laws.
Although the preferred embodiments of the
present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those
skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions
and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and
spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.

Tariel Kapaladze (or perhaps, Tariel
Kapanadze), like Don Smith, appears to have based his work on that of
Nikola Tesla. There has been a video on the web, of one of his devices in
operation, but it appears that the video has been removed. The video
commentary was not in English and so the information gathered from it is
not as complete as it might be. However, in spite of that, a number of
useful things can be learned from it.
The video shows
a demonstration being staged in a back garden, I believe, in Turkey.
Strong sunshine was casting dense shadows which made video detail less
than perfect. Essentially, Tariel demonstrated one of his builds of a
Tesla-style free-energy device, powering both itself and a row of five
light bulbs.
One of the most encouraging things about this video
is that the construction and operation was of the most basic kind, with
not the slightest suggestion of expensive laboratory work or anything
high-precision. This is most definitely a backyard construction within the
scope of any knowledgeable person.
Electrical connections were
made by twisting bare wires together:
and where
necessary, tightening the twist with a pair of pliers:
This shows
clearly that a high-power and very useful free-energy device can be made
with the most simple of construction methods - no expensive connectors
here, just a zero-cost twisted connection.
The device
being displayed is a Tesla Coil powered, earth-connected system of the
type already described. You will notice that the thick primary winding is
not placed at one end of the central secondary winding but is much closer
to the centre of the coil. Remember that Don Smith states that if the
primary coil is placed centrally, then the amount of current which the
coil can deliver is very large, in spite of the fact that most people
think that a Tesla Coil can only produce trivial currents. Notice also
that this Tesla Coil appears to be mounted on a cheap kitchen-roll holder.
I have seen it said that Tariel makes a new device for each demonstration
and takes it apart afterwards, so if that is correct, then it is likely
that there is no great effort or expense involved in making one of these
systems.
The main
operational components are shown here, placed on one small table. There is
a lead-acid battery (which is removed later in the demonstration), what
appears to be an inverter to produce mains AC voltage from the battery, a
high-voltage step-up system housed in a green box for safety reasons, a
Tesla Coil, a spark gap mounted on the box and a fan-cooled component,
probably a solid-state oscillator system driving the Tesla Coil. Not seen
in this picture, is an item contained in a small box which might well be a
high-voltage capacitor.
Two earth connections are organised. The
first one is an old car radiator buried in the ground:
and the second
is a bare wire wrapped around a garden tap's metal pipe and twisted tight
as shown above. It is distinctly possible that the circuit is based on
this circuit of Tesla's:
Perhaps, the
battery powers the inverter which produces mains voltage, which is then
stepped up to a high voltage level by the enclosed electronics. This then
drives the Tesla Coil, producing both very high voltage and current with
the capacitor storing the energy as a reservoir. The spark gap then pulses
this energy, driving the primary winding of the isolation transformer
which produces a lower voltage at substantial current (depending on the
current-handling capacity of the transformer itself) powering the load,
which in this case, is a row of light bulbs.
It is distinctly
possible that the Tesla Coil is mounted inside the green box and the coils
seen on the outside of the box are the isolation transformer, hand-wound
with heavy-duty wire. The spark gap is mounted on a non-conducting bracket
attached to the side of the box and is of very simple construction with a
copper rod threaded into a vertical copper post and a screwdriver slot cut
in it to allow exact adjustment of the width of the spark gap:
The load is a
row of five light bulbs hung from a broom placed across the backs of two
chairs:
As you can see,
this is not exactly high-tech, high-cost construction here, with all of
the materials being used for other things afterwards.
Initially,
the battery is used to power the inverter and it is demonstrated that the
current being drawn from the inverter is substantially less than the power
entering the load. In conventional terms, this appears impossible, which
is an indication that the conventional terms are out of date and need to
be updated to include the observed facts from demonstrations such as this.
As the system is putting out a good deal more power than is
required to drive it, might it not be possible to use part of the output
power to provide the input power. This is often called "closing the loop"
and it is demonstrated in this video as the next step.
First, the
circuit is altered so that the input power connection to the inverter is
taken from the output. Then the circuit is powered up using the battery as
before. The battery is then disconnected and removed altogether, and the
people helping with the demonstration pick up all of the active items and
hold them up in the air so as to show that there are no hidden wires
providing the extra power from some hidden source. The items on the table
are not part of the circuit:
There is some
additional information on Tariel including videos of some of his more
powerful, newer designs at this
website
although it has to be said that there does not appear to be very much on
him or his work available at this time.
In December 2009 an
anonymous contributor e-mailed to say that Kapanadze returned to the
ex-USSR republic of Georgia and that the video soundtrack is in the
Georgian language and after the demonstration, the interview is in
Russian. He has kindly translated the parts which relate to the device, as
follows:
Question: What are you showing us today?
Answer: This is a device which
draws energy from the environment. It draws 40 watts as it starts up, but
then it can power itself and provide an output of 5 kilowatts. We don't
know how much energy can be drawn from the environment, but in an earlier
test, we drew 200 kilowatts of power.
Question: Is it possible to solve
the energy problems of Georgia?
Answer: We consider that they have
already been solved.
Question: Please tell us in simple
terms, how your device works.
Answer: (1) Power is drawn from
the battery to get the device running
(2) If we want, we can use part
of the output power to drive a charger and charge the battery
(3) When
the device is running, we can remove the battery and it then operates
self-powered. This particular unit can deliver 5 kilowatts of power which
is enough for a family. We can easily make a version which supplies 10
kilowatts. We don't know what the practical power limit is for a unit like
this. With this particular device we have here, we do not draw more than 5
kilowatts as we don't want to burn out the components which we used in
this build.
Question: Does your invention pick up current from mains
wires?
Answer:
The mains has nothing to do with this device. The energy produced comes
directly from the environment.
Question: What do you call your
device and do you dedicate it to anyone?
Answer: I would not dream of
claiming this device to be my invention, I just found something which
works. This is an invention of Nikola Tesla and all the credit is his.
Tesla has done so much for mankind but today he is just forgotten. This
device is his invention, his work.
Question: Why are you so sure that
this is a design of Nikola Tesla's?
Answer: Because I worked from his
invention - his design. I discovered how to get automatic resonance
between the primary and secondary windings. The most important thing is to
achieve resonance. Melnichenko came close to solving this problem. The
government of Georgia refuses to take this invention seriously.
Question:
You said that resonance must be maintained. Which parts
resonate?
Answer: Here (pointing to the green box) and here (pointing to the
Tesla Coil mounted on the top of the green box). The resonator is inside
the green box and at present, it is secret until patented.
Question:
How much would one of these units cost?
Answer: When mass produced, it
would cost between 300 and 400 US dollars for a unit which has an output
of 5 or 6 kilowatts.
Question:How much did it cost you
to build this demonstration device?
Answer: About eight thousand
(currency not specified, but the previous question was US dollars). Parts
had to be got in from twenty different places.
Question: Is this your
house?
Answer:
No, I rent this place because we have sold all that we have to make these
devices. And, having done it, the government and many scientists say "We
are not interested because a device like that is impossible and can't
possibly exist!". I have not been allowed to make a presentation to them,
but people who understand the Tesla Coil understand how this device works.
Kapanadze is an architect by profession and has not had any
training in either physics or Electrical Engineering. The information on
which this design was based was downloaded free from the internet.
One of the most important aspects of this video is the
confirmation it gives for the work of Tesla and of Don Smith, in that it
shows clearly, yet again, that large amounts of energy can be drawn from
the local environment, without the need to burn a fuel.
Meguer Kalfaian. There is a patent application
which has some very interesting ideas and claims. It has been around for a
long time but it has not been noticed until recently. Personally, I get
the impression that it is more a concept rather than a solidly based
prototype-proven device, but that is only my impression and you need to
make up your own mind on the matter. This is the patent information:

Method and means for producing perpetual motion with high power
ABSTRACT
The perpetual static energies, as provided by the
electron (self spin) and the permanent magnet (push and pull) are combined
to form a dynamic function. Electrons emitted from a heated coil F are
trapped permanently within the central magnetic field of a cylindrical
magnet M5. A second magnet M6, in opposite polarity to the
poles of the electrons causes polar tilt, and precession. This precession
radiates a powerful electromagnetic field to a coil L placed between the
cylindrical magnet and a vacuum chamber C - wound in a direction
perpendicular to the polar axes of the electrons. Alternatively, the
electromagnetic radiation is emitted as coherent light. The original
source of electrons is shut off after entrapment.
SPECIFICATION
Method and means for producing
perpetual motion with high power. This invention relates to methods and
means for producing perpetual motion. An object of the invention is,
therefore, to produce useful perpetual motion for utility purposes.
BRIEF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
The electron has
acquired self spin from the very beginning of its birth during the time of
creation of matter, and represents a perpetual energy. But self spin
alone, without polar motion is not functional, and therefore, useful
energy cannot be derived from it. Similarly, the permanent magnet
represents a source of perpetual energy, but since its poles are
stationary, useful energy cannot be derived from it.
However, the
characteristics of these two types of static energies differ one from the
other, and therefore the two types of energies can be combined in such a
manner that, the combined output can be converted into perpetual polar
motion.
In one exemplary mode, a cylindrical vacuum chamber having
a filament and a cathode inside, is enclosed within the central magnetic
field of a cylindrical permanent magnet, the magnetisation of which can be
in a direction either along the longitudinal axis, or from the centre to
the circumferential outer surface of the cylinder. When current is passed
through the filament, the electrons emitted from the cathode are
compressed into a beam at the centre of the cylindrical chamber by the
magnetic field of the cylindrical magnet. Thus, when the current through
the filament is shut off, the electrons in the beam remain permanently
trapped inside the magnetic field.
In such an arrangement, the
poles of the electrons are aligned uniformly. When a second permanent
magnet is held against the beam in repelling polarity, the poles of the
electrons are pushed and tilted from their normal longitudinal polar axes.
In such tilted orientations, the electrons now start wobbling (precessing)
in gyroscopic motions, just like a spinning top when it is tilted to one
side. The frequency of this wobbling (precessional resonance) depends upon
the field strengths of the two magnets, similar to the resonance of the
violin string relative to its tensional stretch. The polar movements of
the electrons radiate an electromagnetic field, which can be collected by
a coil and then converted into any desired type of energy. Because of the
uniformly aligned electrons, the output field is coherent, and the output
power is high.
Observed examples upon which the invention is
based: The apparatus can best be described by examples of a spinning top
in wobbling motion. Thus, referring to the illustration of Fig.1,
assume that the spinning top T is made of magnetic material, as
indicated by their pole signs (S and N). Even though the top
is magnetic, the spin motion does not radiate any type of field, which can
be received and converted into a useful type of energy. This is due to the
known fact that, radiation is created only when the poles of the magnet
are in motion, and in this case, the poles are stationary.
When a magnet
M1 is held from a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal polar
axis of the top, as shown in
Fig.2, the polar axis of the top will
be tilted as shown, and keep on spinning in that tilted direction. When
the magnet
M1 is removed, however, the top will try to regain its
original vertical posture, but in doing so, it will wobble in gyroscopic
motion, such as shown in
Fig.3. The faster the top spins, then the
faster the wobbling motion will be.
The reason that
the top tilts angularly, but does not wobble when the magnet
M1 is
held from horizontal direction, is that, the one-sided pull prevents the
top from moving away from the magnetic field for free circular wobble.
Instead of holding the magnet
M1 from the side of the top, we may
also hold the magnet from a direction above the top, as shown in
Fig.4. In this case, however, the polar signs between the magnet
and the top are oriented in like signs, so that instead of pulling action,
there is pushing action between the magnet and the top - causing angular
tilt of the top, such as shown in
Fig.4. The pushing action of the
magnetic field from above the top is now equalised within a circular area,
so that the top finds freedom to wobble in gyroscopic rotation.
The important point in the above given explanation is that, the
top tries to gain its original vertical position, but it is prevented from
doing so by the steady downward push from the static magnetic field of
magnet
M2. So, as long as the top is spinning, it will wobble in a
steady state. Since there is now, polar motion in the wobbling motion of
the top, this wobbling motion can easily be converted into useful energy.
To make this conversion into perpetual energy, however, the top must be
spinning perpetually. Nature has already provided a perpetually spinning
magnetic top, which is called, "the electron" - guaranteed to spin
forever, at a rate of 1.5 x 10
23 (one hundred fifty thousand
billion billion revolutions per second).

BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTIONReferring to the
exemplary illustration of
Fig.4, the spinning top
T is
pivoted to the base
B by gravity.
In the case of
the electron, however, it must be held tightly between some magnetic
forces. So, referring to the illustration of
Fig.5, assume that an
electron e is placed in the centre of a cylindrical magnet
M4. The
direction of
magnetisation
of the magnet
M4, and the polar orientation of the electron e are
marked in the drawing. In this case, when a permanent magnet
M3 is
placed at the open end of the cylindrical magnet
M4, the electron e
will precess, in a manner, as described by way of the spinning top. The
difficulty in this arrangement is that, electrons cannot be separated in
open air, and a vacuum chamber is required, as in the following:
Fig.6
shows a vacuum chamber
C, which contains a cylindrically wound
filament
F, connected to the battery
B1 by way of the switch
S1. Thus, when the switch
S1 is turned ON, the filament
F is lighted, and it releases electrons. External to the vacuum
chamber
C is mounted a cylindrical permanent magnet
M5,
which compresses the emitted electrons into a beam at the centre of the
chamber.
When the beam is formed, the switch is turned OFF, so
that the beam of electrons is permanently trapped at the centre of the
chamber.
The permanent trapping of the electrons in the chamber
C represents a permanent storage of static energy. Thus, when a
permanent magnet
M6 is placed to tilt the polar orientations of the
uniformly poled electrons in the beam, they start precessing perpetually
at a resonant frequency, as determined by the field strengths of the
magnets
M5 and
M6.
The precessing electrons in the
beam will radiate quadrature phased electromagnetic field in a direction
perpendicular to the polar axes of the electrons.
Thus, a coil
L may be placed between the magnet
M5 and the vacuum chamber
C, to receive the radiated field from the beam. The output may then
be utilised in different modes for practical purposes, for example,
rectified for DC power use.
The electron beam-forming cylindrical
magnet
M5, which may also be called a focusing magnet, is shown to
be bipolar along the longitudinal axis. The direction of magnetisation,
however, may be from the central opening to the outer periphery of the
magnet, as shown by the magnet
M7, in
Fig.8 but the
precessing magnet
M6 will be needed in either case.
In the
arrangement of
Fig.6, I have included a current control grid
G. While it is not essential for operation of the arrangement
shown, it may be connected to a high negative potential
B2 by the
switch
S2 just before switching the
S1 in OFF position, so
that during the cooling period of the filament, there will occur no escape
of any electrons from the beam to the cathode. Also, the grid
G may
be switched ON during the heating period of the cathode, so that electrons
are not forcibly released from the cathode during the heating period, and
thereby causing no damage to the cathode, or filament.
Biological precessional resonanceElectron precessional
resonance occurs in living tissue matter, as observed in laboratory tests.
This is called ESR (Electron Spin Resonance) or PMR (Paramagnetic
Resonance). In tissue matter, however, the precessing electron is
entrapped between two electrons, as shown in
Fig.7, and the polar
orientations are indicated by the polar signs and shadings, for clarity of
drawing.
SimulationThe
arrangement of
Fig.7 may be simulated artificially in a manner as
shown in
Fig.9, wherein, the electron trapping magnet is a pair of
parallel spaced magnets
M8. In actual practice, however, the
structure of this pair of magnets
M8 can be modified. For example,
a second pair of magnets
M8 may be disposed between the two pairs,
so that the directions of the transverse fields between the two pairs
cross mutually perpendicular at the central longitudinal axis of the
vacuum chamber. The inner field radiating surfaces of these two pairs of
magnets may be shaped circular, and the two pairs may be assembled, either
by physical contact to each other, or separated from each other.
ModificationsReferring to the arrangements of
Fig.6,
Fig.9 and
Fig.10, when the electron is in precessional
gyroscopic motion, the radiated field in a direction parallel to the polar
axis of the electron, is a single phased corkscrew waveform, which when
precessed at light frequency, the radiation produces the effect of light.
Whereas, the
field in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the electron produces a
quadrature phased electromagnetic radiation. Thus, instead of utilising
the output of electron precession for energy purposes, it may be utilised
for field radiation of either light or electromagnetic waves, such as
indicated by the arrows in
Fig.9. In this case, the output will be
coherent field radiation.
In reference to the arrangement of
Fig.6, the electron emission is shown to occur within the central
magnetic field of the focusing magnet
M5. It may be practically
desired, however, that these electrons are injected into the central field
of the cylindrical magnet from a gun assembly, as shown in an exemplary
arrangement of
Fig.10. In this case, the vacuum chamber
C is
flanged at the right hand side, for mounting an electron emitting cathode
1 (the filament not being shown), and a curved
electron-accelerating gun
2. The central part of this flange is
recessed for convenience of mounting an electron-tilting magnet (as
shown), as close as possible to the electron beam. In operation, when
current is passed through the filament, and a positive voltage is applied
(not shown) to the gun
2, the emitted electrons from the cathode
are accelerated and injected into the central field of the magnet
11. Assuming that the open end of the gun
2 overlaps
slightly the open end of the cylindrical central field of the magnet
M1, and the positive accelerating voltage applied to the gun
2 is very low, the accelerated electrons will enter the central
field of the magnet
M1, and travel to the other end of the field.
Due to the low speed acceleration of the electrons, however, they cannot
spill out of the field, and become permanently entrapped therein.
In regard to the direction in which the coil
L1 is
positioned, its winding should be in a direction perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of the beam to which the polar axes of the electrons are
aligned uniformly in parallel. In one practical mode, the coil
L1
may be wound in the shape of a surface winding around a tubular form
fitted over the cylindrical vacuum chamber.
In regard to the
operability of the apparatus as disclosed herein, the illustration in
Fig.7 shows that the field output in a direction parallel to the
polar axis of the electron is singular phased, and it produces the effect
of light when the precessional frequency is at a light frequency. Whereas,
the output in a direction perpendicular to the polar axis of the electron
is quadrature phased, which is manifested in practiced electromagnetic
field transmission.
In regard to experimental references, an
article entitled "Magnetic Resonance at high Pressure" in the "Scientific
American" by George B. Benedek, page 105 illustrates a precessing nucleus,
and indicates the direction of the electromagnetic field radiation by the
precessing nucleus. The same technique is also used in the medical
apparatus "Nuclear magnetic resonance" now used in numerous hospitals for
imaging ailing tissues (see "High Technology" Nov. Dec. 1982. Refer also
to the technique of detecting Electron Spin Resonance, in which electrons
(called "free radicals") are precessed by the application of external
magnetic field to the tissue matter. In all of these practices, the
electromagnetic field detecting coils are directed perpendicular to the
polar axes of the precessing electrons or the nuclei.
In regard to
the production of light by a precessing electron, in a direction parallel
to the polar axis of the precessing electron, see an experimental
reference entitled "Free electrons make powerful new laser" published in
"high Technology" February 1983 page 69.
In regard to the aspect
of producing and storing the electrons in a vacuum chamber, it is a known
fact by practice that the electrons are entrapped within the central field
of a cylindrical permanent magnet, and they will remain entrapped as long
as the magnet remains in position.
With regard to the performance
of obtaining precessional resonance of the electron, the simple example of
a wobbling top is sufficient, as proof of operability.
Having
described the preferred embodiments of the invention, and in view of the
suggestions of numerous possibilities of modifications, adaptations,
adjustments and substitutions of parts, it should be obvious to the
skilled in related arts that other possibilities are within the spirit and
scope of the present invention.
