I agree the next stage is to try and capture some energy and will start what G say's
OK so let's build a 6 inch coil.
Now G you are saying a central conductor with 24volts dc running through it at a few mA, how long is this conductor and how thin, that seems like a lot of voltage with little current to push through i single conductor, so we are talking many turns of this conductor?
You then say wind the bifilar around this equally distanced away from the conductor, i need to think how to do this it's not so easy to keep the distance equal within say 1mm, i need some sort of foam frame around the central conductor to do this.
The central conductor needs to 2 things it needs to be biased but also act as a load, so could i maybe place a bulb in series so this lights with the 24vdc applied and watch it's brightness as the kicks are started up.
You mention a compass, i have just ordered 5 of these.
Diagrams and sketches are welcome any ideas on construction of the outer bifilar are also welcome.
One stout loop for the core. You must maintain a circular magnetic field around the core with this configuration. The static magnetic field must be perpendicular to the radial force from the kick and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the radial force (wether just propagating or rotating) and perpendicular to the conductor being induced. Lay all this on a paper and you will see that you have a couple of different ways you can go depending on how you place the static field and collector. For a quick test, you can stick two wires into the coil - right into the side of it so the ends are inside the coil - one toward the top and one toward the bottom (stacked but separated), add a static mag field (with a magnet) - place it under the coil - and see what you can measure with a high impedance meter or probe. Don't expect anything spectacular, just an indication. a moving divergence (charge), bound or not (dielectric or conductor), produces a magnetic field - hence the compass - this is a current as long as it is moving and has to be perpendicular to the collector and the static mag field to cause particle precession in the collector (conduction current) you can try using LEDS placed around and into the coil space as well or small bulbs (never tried it - just thought of it)
