This experiment was inspired by MJH’s helpful recollection that the BAR was near or attached to the solenoids, not the horseshoe magnet. If the magnetic LOOP, created by the bar and solenoids is a “make-and-break” magnetic generator, that would be one way to create power using the horseshoe magnet. It would also create an oscillating magnetic field for the coil-capacitors to respond to due to mutual induction.

    Macgyver might duct tape those things to the jaws of a vice to see the results of exponential increases and decreases in the magnetic fields.

    my grandpa is awesome

  • morpher44 says:

    not a concern because what we are after is changing flux; weak to strong to weak, etc.

  • fgleich says:

    There is leakage flux to contend with, you could test for it with a compass with the keeper in place on the magnet. Even with the keeper in place, there is some leakage flux, so the field can never be NULL.

  • morpher44 says:

    yes. So this explains the Hendershot “tuning”. However, there could be more to it. If the bar is instead attached to the horseshoe magnet, its field is NULL. If the solenoids can pull it away from the magnet, its field would re-appear. By creating a flux like this, the Q goes way up in the tank circuits due to the induced alternating flux. The frequency response curve goes lower.

  • fgleich says:

    moving the magnet back and forth changes the inductance of the entire circuit. One direction of the magnet reinforces the field, increasing inductance, and when you flip it around, it opposes the field, decreasing inductance

    The technology of tomorrow is built from the technology of today.
    I’m not sure why you would find that disgusting … given you are using a one-sided computer to add your comment to this video. :-)

    ppl, an expert person educated based on mislead textbook, will not be able to understand how Ed Leedskalnin Flywheel work. Unless, he indulged and let the nature’s way, teach him/her. Drop those one sided instrument, it is disgusting when you are studying the work of Ed.

  • morpher44 says:

    actually breaking the magnetic loop can probably happen WELL after the pulses is no longer asserted to the solenoids since the Leedskalnin trick holds the magnetic loop indefinitely. The other horseshoe magnet is needed to PULL it off as the polarization disappears when the pulse subsides.

  • morpher44 says:

    With MJH’s memory of how the BAR was near the solenoids, this might be a clue that the Hendershot Fuelless Generator was exploiting the make-and-break phenomenon that Leedskalnin also used. This is interesting to me because this phenomenon is not a steady-state phenomenon — and hence not a simple physics problem.

  • codygillespie says:

    Hi,
    Yes this is very much like the leedskalnin device, and i love that you are trying to actually put the phenomena to a practical use. Go find yourself a u bolt at a hardware store to really get the colapsing part going on. Iron would be better than steel, but actually you probally need at least silicon transformer steal or better if your going to pulse it at that frequency. Good luck

  • morpher44 says:

    yes — actually breaking the magnetic loop before it fades from the pulse induces current.

  • BodkinsEnergy says:

    that what i was saying sorting the magnetic field
    keep going!

  • m3sca1 says:

    interesting the flipping of the horseshoe magnet and the voltage response!
    nice experiment
