Where does the extra energy come from?
Improvement in Induction Coils. Patent #119825 Daniel McFarland Cook
“… leaving a sufficient surplus terminal to overcome the resistance of the primary wire and charge the bar A to a degree necessary to reproduce itself in an opposite secondary coil.”
System for Generation of Electric Currents. Patent #14311 Carlos Benitez
“… when the circuit is broken by the interrupter, condenser 14 is charged and immediately afterwards discharges … The direct current that is produced when the discharge of said condenser 14 is finished, passing through pole 18 and entering the primary 15 through pole 16, produces a new charge … “
These two patents clearly indicate these inventors believed additional emf is produced by the discharge of induction transformer secondaries. Since this discharge is produced in induction coils, it stands to reason the terminal emf is induced during the collapse of the core’s magnetic field. Notice in the Cook patent the words “charge the bar A to a degree necessary to reproduce itself”. Cook is clearly stating a magnetic field of sufficient strength must be recreated in bar A by it’s coil to produce another terminal secondary current so the cycle can repeat.
Supposedly everyone knows the energy of a solenoid coil is stored in the magnetic field of the core. Right?
I don’t think so, not in a direct way. Most of us are familiar with Leedskalin’s “perpetual motion holder”. Think about that for a moment. As long as a keeper is stuck across the end of the bar the magnetic force or field is maintained in the bar, as evidenced by the emf that will be produced in a coil wound around the bar when the keeper is removed. That emf is produced by the collapse of the magnetic field of the bar, which has maintained itself, for years in some cases, without additional electric input from a solenoid coil on the bar.
In a non-magnetized iron core, small areas of iron are naturally magnetically aligned. These individual areas have magnetic fields with vectors pointing every which way from each other, resulting in a non-coherent over all magnetic field.
In my opinion this is the sequence that takes place when DC electricity is applied to a solenoid coil. The electricity in the coil creates a magnetic field around the wires which in turn forces some of the core iron to align along the vector of the coil magnetic field. That is where some of the electrical energy of the coil is expended, not stored, establishing it’s own fields and forcing core iron into magnetic alignment. Normally, some of that electrical energy being expended during the coil on period goes to heat radiation and the vast majority of it to destroying the potential difference in the source.
Next, at a later time, a new emf is induced in the coil by the collapse of the iron core magnetic field.
Two events have been presented so far.
1. The emf expended establishing a magnetic field in the core.
2. A new emf generated when the core’s magnetic field collapses.
Two events that can be separated by time. This supports the statements made in the Cook and Benitez patents regarding additional electricity.
An experiment was performed using a straight core transformer with the secondary configured with a diode in order to receive only the inductive collapse. This transformer is far from being optimized. Each coil is in series with a cap so each outputs into it’s own 3000uF 400V electrolytic cap.
Results with a 1 ms pulse from 17.4VDC source through a diode. Both caps initially zeroed.
Primary cap. 12.4V .003 × 12.4 = 0.0372 Coulomb
Secondary cap. 5.7V .003 × 5.7 = 0.0171 Coulomb
0.0543 Coulomb total, or 1.6 times the primary.
About 47% additional in cap 2, which is pretty good considering that is the inductive collapse only, minus the diode loss.
I am not claiming OU, only showing a source for additional energy. The iron and it’s magnetic field.
