Hi Steve,
Thanks for showing the interesting video and although I understand as you wrote that it was an old demo device and it is already the past for you, I have made a drawing of the setup shown in the video, maybe some members here find it useful when attempting a test on it.
Please comment if there is any mistake in the drawing, and will redraw it. I also upload a snapshot from your video and have labeled a few things, to make the drawing visually more understandable, mainly to show the inducing magnets are positioned in the drawing at the top of the coils, above the dots.
Like most your actions are motivated by the best of intentions. The drawings are a distraction to the subject under discussion, I didn't want to post the video, I did because we were challenged, I responded to the challenge. If folks are interested in the machine, I highly recommend that they discuss it in an area dedicated to such a discussion, without drawings and snap shots taken from the video. Images, schematics and the like become the subject instead of instruments used for guiding a discussion, I want no parts of them. I realize that this may come over harsh, and I do ask forgiveness for that, in my own defense, I have seen many good discussions go to shit as folks argued back and forth over an out of focus photo, or a mistake in a schematic. You don't need a schematic, you don't need a photo, just an open mind and the means for assembling a test rig.
I would like to ask whether you considered the effect of the mutual inductance between the two coils (their axis and cores are in a parallel position with each other and close enough to cause mutual induction in each other) if there is any significant interaction at all? Unfortunately the changing of the distance between the two coils involves using another rotor disc to fit the magnets distance again to the cores distance and I understand this needs patience and machine work again and again.
I have considered the mutual inductance, more important than mutual inductance however is what I refer to as vector addition, the junction between two coils of like polarity form the opposite polarity vector wise. From this we see two fields in opposition appearing (from the perspective of the vectors) as if they are aiding. I see more than I care to discuss, those things I saw inspired a different more specific geometry. I am not classically trained, what I say has meaning to me and the time needed to translate this in to mainstream speak....no one has that kind of time.
I think that from the drawing the answers to your points raised in your Reply #352 above can be seen, namely the low inductance comes from two bucking coils connected in series, this explains the low inductance too, it also explains the low RPM acceleration (low coils inductance involves lower frequency), while the low circuit resistance comes from the parallel connected 6 windings.
The windings of the coils are low inductance, they were placed in "ANTI-Series" so as to: raise the total inductance to that of two windings in series, and maintain that value with all pairs in parallel. In addition to this, anti-series between two coils wound in the same direction results in bucking fields between the two coils, there is method in the madness. The acceleration effect cannot be accounted for and or explained by the present understanding of the phenomena. Technically it should not happen owing to the low inductance and frequency. An interesting thing to note is the magnets are inducing directly into the cores and we have the interaction between the field induced in the iron and the field of the magnet, the resulting interaction is dubbed attraction. The induced in the coil augments one and reduces the strength of the other....please look carefully into this, don't take anything for granted, nor judge me for not crossing a T or dotting an I.
What would be a further help from you is to discuss briefly why acceleration happens in your setup? I would be interested to learn about it for sure, what is your take on that, preferably on this forum if you agree.
Thanks,
Gyula
My job is to demonstrate that the impossible is possible. I am to do this to the best of my ability, ignoring all laws and acceptable measuring practices while doing so. I speculate, this makes me unqualified to explain anything. My theory of operation is my theory of operation, my speculation is strong deluded drink, I don't recommend it, you won't be the same afterwards, and will find it difficult to convert it into mainstream. I recommend you build the machine if what you have witnessed left an impression on you. With your build which would not be considered as a replication, you can come to your own conclusions, I am positive you would be a leader in this area, being familiar with the laws has its perks. If it be your will, I would be more than happy to build and test a model for you. This way, you are guaranteed to experience what I demonstrated immediately. You would be supporting my research, something I always welcome, research that all can benefit from.
