I'll look at the pots when the weather warms a bit, back down to 42F in the house and completely the opposite to your weather Brad

Took it apart a year or so back and resoldered a couple of loose pot connections at that time. I think whoever had it pressed the rotary controls with a heavy handed action, rather than gently turned them. Sort of grabbed things, like they would a heater control in a truck !

Thanks Steve. Yes, am delighted to have seen it doing something, anything lol

Btw, here's the non working wound coil for the Top Secret.
Idea was to increase Base resistance with the pot because of the low ohms on the 30AWG.
The low volume warbles have been very informative, for what is going on with magnet interactions.

Good stuff, Mark.

I went over to OU, sure enough some old threads on somewhat related tries -- BUT without the push-coil/pick-up coil such as we're using!

This is great news! I consider Finsrud has been confirmed! It seems that this George Delk from the US has confirmed Reidar Finsrud with the perpetual motion of a pendulum managed with magnets. I will try to replicate this thing to make sure that this is no make-belief. It is inspiring because I always thought that free energy is time energy. Now we have a kind of pendulum clock thing that really runs on time energy and not on batteries, a lifted weight or a wound spring! At present I am at IPMM version 12 where I try to use a clocklike mechanism to run my cakra disc. As yet I have failed with the IPMM to find PM, but this pendulum might do the trick. Looks real enough to me. The question is, if the pendulum works as shown, can it do work then like running a rotor? Is this the replicable PM version we were looking for? We will see...

Group: Professor Hero Member Posts: 3030	Quote from: Slider2732 on 2015-01-28, 17:05:23 Steve - On looking at your formula yesterday, I wondered what the example 2 seconds total time would mean for string length. Found a bobbin of cotton and then superglued a ceramic magnet to the cotton end. By timing with the seconds ticking on a clock, it was found that the length would need to be 26". Hmmm... should be 1 meter = 39" for a Period P of 2 seconds... One has to be careful here, because the period changes slowly with length L, that is, as the square root of L. Quote Note that the period of the motion T is simply: P = 2pisqrt{L/g} plugging in 9.81m/sec^2 for g, we find to a good approximation: P = 2sqrt(L) in SI units. So if L=1m, then the period is P = 2 seconds, since sqrt(1) is just 1. If L=25cm = 1/4 m, then P = 2sqrt(1/4) = 1 second. So for 26", I get 26"/39" = 0.67 m , P = 2*sqrt (0.67) = 1.63seconds. To get accuracy at this level, one has to count a number of cycles of the pendulum swing, say 30 cycles. In this video, the students count 30 complete swings of the pendulum, and get the period as the time for 30 swings divided by 30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-CUDWndI74 Sure enough, for a 100cm = 1m string length, they find 60seconds/30 = 2 seconds for the period (as noted above). IOW, 2 seconds for one complete out-and-back swing means a string length of 1 meter = 39 inches (actually 39.37" = 1m).

Dear Steve.

I concur. My 250 year old Grandfather clock has a 1 Metre pendulum bob. Accuracy < 15 seconds per week !!

Not quite Quartz but good enough !

Group: Moderator Hero Member Posts: 1399 ... .-.. .. -.. . .-.	Oh I stood there like a fool for about half an hour trying out different cotton lengths. The impression was that a longer length of string was needed than originally thought, having seen pendulums here and there. Measuring was inexact, approximating the 26" with the 4ft ruler and then thinking that a system would likely need to be much larger than thought. Also, i'm old skool English and work in feet and inches. If of newer thinking i'd have probably gone for 1 meter by default haha Fave bet at the moment is with the EZ Spin and remote rotors. This other method though has the attraction of gravity (as it were) and natural null points. Hmmm...I wonder about a sideways EZ Spin. A vertical wheel motor could use both concepts and yet not be a regular pulse motor. If a couple of these little pieces of sapphire can be held correctly then that would be a good idea. Have just wound a 1000 + 1000 turn coil of 40AWG around a steel bolt. It was quite the shock to see how thin the resulting coil is ! But, i'll try it, see what happens with the Top Secret and if it does something then try it on the pendulum. That's a water bottle cap on the right, for scale. They make good end pieces and I left 1 of them intact, to put the transistor and connections inside neatly. ------------------------ Dolphins Rock ! 102_0179.JPG (126.97 kB, 640x480 - viewed 616 times.) --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Group: Professor Hero Member Posts: 3030	Amazingly small coil for 1000+1000 turns! that must have been a very tedious wind, my friend. I'm still very curious about the Top Secret -- how does the coil inside give a "kick" to cause the top to spin? Push and pull, like with a pendulum I can understand -- but spinning a top? And now I'm curious how much current is drawn from the battery also...

Group: Moderator Hero Member Posts: 1399 ... .-.. .. -.. . .-.	It reads as 49ohms for the inner 1000, 98ohms for the outer. Nothing happened with it either when tried out haha, ah well. If I combine the 2 windings together and wind a 3rd winding of 1000 as the new second coil, then it will approximate the 157ohms (or so) that Brad measured on his dolphin coil. Both would then be ballpark for running at the correct ohmage. Tedious indeed and the wish was to avoid that...so i'll try the 2 'dancing' coils next and probably get back to the winding afterward. The kick is given by the magnet being axial. It's N at one horizontal side, S on the other, rather than top and bottom. With the nub being in the middle of the concave surface that it sits on, the top can spin next to the coil, but never goes right over it. Such that, any interaction with the coil will cause the spin. It relates to the merry-go-round thought yesterday, in that to spin up one of those playground rides a person pushes the side framing in the direction of travel. Will take a measurement of the factory coil running the Top Secret and report back . . It uses zero until the magnet comes close to the nub raised area in the middle and then uses up to 9mA while kicking it back out again with extra speed. The usage depends on the rotation speed, with 9mA being the peak recorded after several minutes of running. Meter used was a UNI-T 136B. I wonder, that seems very similar to the pendulum results, but far different to Brads reading for the dolphin. However, it would be in line if his gear records an average (?). « Last Edit: 2015-01-30, 22:42:46 by Slider2732 » --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Lidmotor has posted a fascinating video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=85114404&x-yt-ts=1422579428&v=RvMpe23owQs Within which he shows the 1970's Patent, his own EZ Spin developments and the rejigging of a Top Secret to be a pulse motor. Also found out that he's been following along here It would seem that I may have an easier time of building a decent coil for the pendulum than thought. My Top Secret has 6 wires, Lidmotor's has 3. Could it really be that mine is simply double stranded for the coils ? That would go a long way to finding out why I had trouble replicating a while back, was over thinking it. --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Cool Joule (Patrick) has weighed in with a great demonstration of his pendulum circuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTtgVKRSxnM Within which he discusses his different type of pendulum, though it has the same exact circuit again. He runs a pulse motor with the coil and takes some measurements of current used and ability to charge a cap from various points on the circuit. Interestingly, his pulse motor draws in the uA range when running at 6V ! --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Group: Moderator Hero Member Posts: 1399 ... .-.. .. -.. . .-.	I don't think Patrick ever said what happened there, but the funny thing is, we in the groups know the Cool Joule as TinMans circuit. So, in essence, Patrick is an Australian circuit..is that the idea ? lol smh (posted that acronym for Grumage, from his thread) A pic is attached Chet, of the setup I was talking about on the phone. An initially silly idea, but very much being considered now. What it is, is the hyper efficient Top Secret coil, spinning the larger EZ Spin type setup, which charges the 0.1F capacitor. Removing the coil then allows the motor to spin along on what went into the cap. With Patrick showing 4uA or some unreasonably similar excellent current usage on his same circuit for his pendulum, we may just be able to link everything up ! I believe the current figure may well be correct, the meter is subtracting the returning coil energy and what it sees is a net draw of those low microamps. Relates to TinMan's own readings...my readings must be a few decimal places short of a full toolbox. So - here's the plan. The Top Secret coil powers a rotor, which has pickup coils around it. That generates and passes charge to a much smaller cap. That cap charges up and converted via a blocking oscillator type circuit (or one of Gyula's chips) to the run voltage and goes back into the battery. The run voltage may be 6V, 9V, whatever hits a sweet spot of RPM/input/harvested output. Additionally, remote rotors run from the magnetic fields otherwise wasted as the rotor spins and their pickup coils also feed into the feedback system Nothing has an electrical dependency on any other section. ------------------------ Dolphins Rock ! 102_0181.JPG (124.49 kB, 640x480 - viewed 623 times.) --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Yes,the DMM will be averaging current draw,so it is showing the I/in - I/out. Now I'm starting to see why a 9 volt may indeed run this for years on end.

Group: Moderator Hero Member Posts: 1399 ... .-.. .. -.. . .-.	Here we have the EZ Dancer. A continuation of thoughts, about integrating several different ideas, in the simplest way. It would also seem that this thread has taken over from the original EZ based thread. The concept, is to use 'dancing' coils, EZ Spin arrangement of rotor, reed switch, but powered externally. The EZ Spin does its generating from the other 7 of 8 coils, which are series connected. Linked to the rotor are remote rotors, each generating in the same way. Effectively, perhaps 4x EZ Spin setups, with just 1 being powered. The Top Secret/dolphin coil may result in the most power efficient method to run the device. Here, though, an original 'dancing' circuit is used, powered by the CFL table light. Output from the remote rotor is way down, because it has only 2 magnets and is spinning at approx 100RPM, because it is too far from the powered rotor. However, the output is a very healthy ~355mV and 40uA. It can be imagined that with a much faster speed developed on the remote rotor(s) that a good increase can be expected. A simple diode and run storage cap complete the looping picture.

Group: Moderator Hero Member Posts: 1399 ... .-.. .. -.. . .-.	The Patent is on the previous page Steve, though was wrapped in a long-ish post. Here's the direct link: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3783550.pdf 1. Yep, the same configuration of circuit is used in both the dolphin pendulum and the Top Secret. 2. About 1/4 of the turns is the point at which the coil is tapped. The transistor is connected backwards to many popular circuits, in that the Emitter is driving the coil with pulses. The Collector is connected to the Negative of the power supply. The rest of the winding is picking up through induction and supplying the Base of the transistor. What we have, is a system which only needs the induction to occur, for the transistor to switch on and the coil to energize. The speed of the magnetic interaction governs the speed of transistor switching. With such high ohm coils, there is no need for a resistor in the circuit. 3. When the transistor fires it energizes the section of coil connected to the Emitter of the transistor and battery Positive. After firing, that section of coil collapses and the returning energy is sent through the transistor back to the battery. Not 100% on this, but I believe it can do so by using the inbuilt Emitter/Base diode. 4. The EZ Spin can run on mV, the Top Secret or dolphins use 9V generally but will run with lower voltages. Horses for courses really...both are excellent power misers. There will be less charging ability within the EZ Spin setup, yet it needs less to run. If at the end of the day we are looking at rotor speed, then the EZ Spin needs less generated power. Fig11 - What we seem to have there is a circuit for a N/S/N/S rotor, that can drive another motor or other connected device. In the wiring of the coils, the lower ends are connected together, reversing the coil polarity. Such that, a North and a South magnet can both be used on the rotor. --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

Group: Renaissance Man Hero Member Posts: 2782	Dear all. Just a couple of penneth, might the trigger coil be wound in the other direction to that of the drive coil ? This would then stop the main coil from being continuously active by virtue of the magnetic field generated by it. As I see it the passing magnet just provides enough base bias to switch the transistor on and off as a single pulse. But if the polarity were changed then once the main coil was energised it would keep on oscillating. Have I made that understandable ?? I know what I wanted to say !!

It switched on and then the spinning top (Top Secret device) simply slowed fast and stuck to the plastic lid. Moving the top, it kept wanting to stick in the middle of the lid...it was fully switched on all the time. If one is oppositely wound it would still induct, but not present that trouble of a permanent switch on, if i read you right ? --------------------------- ʎɐqǝ from pɹɐoqʎǝʞ a ʎnq ɹǝʌǝu

For example, last night saw the destruction of a 4.3Gb hard drive for the magnets and a rotor for a CD to go on. That will be used to test wind coils to Grumages idea. Hopefully the motor spins and then a pendulum works and the Top Secret spinning device works with the same coil. 22400 turns If my wife ever intends to read War and Peace out loud to me sometime then i'll wind that coil.
