hey aking
yeah, im not 'saying' f6flt is wrong. but, as we should all know, electrons have a neg charge vs pos, crt knowledge should solidify that. and a pos charge is brought about by atoms missing electrons. doesnt sound so far fetched. now comes the tough part. why does a magnetic field come about when electrons flow through a conductor?
see, i have a 'theory' that ive only presented a couple times in the last 10years or so. the theory is based on why, depending on pole polarity of magnetic flux and the direction that flux crosses or cuts a conductor, does that determine the influence of currents in that wire, one direction or the other? how does that process work exactly. so this is what i have come up with....
im thinking that electrons are where that mag field derives from. also im thinking that electrons have a pos and neg side to them, with the mag field circling around the pos and neg axis of the electron. sounds crazy, i know. but hang with me here...
when we apply current to a wire, we are told that electrons enter the wire from the neg of the source, through the wire towards the pos of the source. so lets just say as the current is low, fewer electrons flow and higher current, more electrons flow, in 1 direction. why do we have less mag field with low current, and stronger field with high current? ah, we say well possibly my theory that electrons, each one, and say just ones that are loose from their atoms, has its own field and when there is more current thus more electrons. but how do the electrons know to align their individual fields with the fields of other flowing electrons? this is where the pos and neg sides of the electrons theory becomes a possibilty. we apply the source to the wire and electrons are flowing because of charge difference from one side of the wire to the other. if the electrons have a pos and neg side to them and they align themselves, while flowing in the wire, with the pos and neg input, then the mag fields of each will also be in alignment with each other. thus more current flow, more loose electrons, more magnetice field strength. all this being said, the electrons pos and neg alignment properties with the polarity of the input must be greater than the mag fields of the electrons, as the individual mag fields between aligned electrons would oppose oneanother, as in repell. like 2 magnets being brought together, side by side, they would repell.
not saying i am correct. just a theory that has stuck with me for a while. its my way of thinking why does current flow this direction or that direction depending on the direction the flux cuts the wire 'prependicularly' thats the puzzle my brain is trying to solve. so if the idea of electrons having a pos and neg side electrical field and the mag field, b field, circling the pos and neg axis, then inducing current direction with flux cutting works similarly where the flux aligns the electrons in a polarity pos side this direction, neg side that direction. this would imply that the electron is also the source of electric field. drag the magnet across the wire, electrons align pos and neg in the wire, only to move if there is a load on the induced wire.
if i am totally wrong, then i dont get where the b field around the wire comes from exactly. it remains a big mystery the functions of this polarity, that polarity. this direction and that direction. all whether we are inducing the wire or running current through it. also if im wrong, then i have to think of the electron as just a neg particle that is just mysteriously manipulated as we seem to maybe know, as if we know some of how it works together in very basic form, but we dont know why it all works as it does. yet.
i have a small neon drive circuit from an older copy scanner machine. high freq, about 1kv. so in the case of a cap with an av plug(2 diodes) and we connect the plug to just 1 wire of the neon trafo output, we are able to charge that cap. was not in the belief that with the neon driver operating, no load, that the charges on one end of the trafo ouput winding, are only electrical fields on their own. i was in the belief the electrons in that output winding, mind you, high volt, very fine wire and many turns, are being compressed from one end of the wire to the other, back and forth. so when there is an excess of electrons at the av plug, they can release a bit of pressure into 1 plate of the cap through 1 diode, and also suck electrons out of the other plate of the cap, through the other diode when the pumping of electrons in the winding goes the other direction. thus allowing the cap to charge via 1 wire. but if my theory is correct, then it could be just pos e fields at one end of the hv winding and neg e field at the other end, could be that electrons are just aligned in the unloaded winding and the source of the e field is all those electrons with pos and neg sides are aligned + - + -. but again, if i am wrong, then i revert back to electrons being pumped from one end of the winding to thebother and back again, in order to legitemise the electrical charges at each end of the winding.
as for the device you have, i suppose you would need a lab grade current meter to see if the currents you have going to the battery through the tiny cap are actually coming from the wall. tiny caps like that only allow small amounts of ac currents through. like audio analog crossover networks where the caps reduce low freq currents getting to tweeters for example, or used to absorb high freq to gnd after a series inductor to keep high freq away from the woofer.
you might get better results by making an lc that is tuned to your house line freq and just tickling it with 1 wire from the hot lead in the wall. cant say that the house line meter would register that if you got high enough currents from the lc.
