Hello guys and gals if present,
I actually got to talk to Mr Rodin yesterday. Nice conversation we had and I think I might have surprised him in a sense.
I just wanted to get you guys to think about what could be hosting such a huge magnetic field detected around the coils. DO NOT IGNORE THEM. They are very real. Let me explain.
What in your mind will channel a magnetic field?
I think everyone would agree that Ferric materials do a pretty good with higher permeability materials, which of course are kinda out of reach cost wise.
What if I told you there was a totally unlimited supply of the cheapest and best and I mean BEST magnetic material around. The cost you ask?
FREE. Well essentially free.
Plasma is all around you. Literally all through you. It is the very thing Tesla used in his magnifying Transmitter. Plasma. It is the super fluid at room temperature. It is highly attracted to higher voltage sources and once you maintain it.. Well it becomes a super magnet. A super magnet that can be shaped and rotated just by the voltage and Frequency of impulses that the plasma reacts to.. Impulses attract plasma more evenly and more strongly then any other method but your method still shows well.
Nice to see a real interest in the Rodin coil and Marko could not find a better person to ferret out his design. If I can help with things Let me know. I can't really replicate the coil but I might be able to help you tweak the design to perform better. I look forward to trying to help with that. Nice work guys!
Russ, Your the MAN! I like the hat... Oh by the way you need better caps. How about some of those new easy to make graphene caps?
Oh my bad. To get impulses just follow this system:
http://www.tfcbooks.com/images/lectures/1892-02-03/005.gif Remember start small with impulses and ramp it up slowly both in period and pressure.
If you want to know how it is supposed to work then ask away. I might be able to help. We are floating in a sea of plasma and you have made the first plasma drive element. Given better materials and maybe thick copper pipes we could make a massive drive system that could be heavily shielded around the sides. Hey the shielding could actually be the energy scoops. Hmmmm.... you could take power off them like letting the air out of a bike tube that had no end to the pressure. The scoops would be reflecting pannels and then open to furnish power for a short period letting the magnetic field bounce back and scoop some more off the next period. Hmm the possibilities are endless. Oh and self cooling when the plasma enters the coil system.... Nice side effect...
Ok remember the voltage determines the stiffness of the plasma field. It could go from no effect to full lock on and spin the magnetic field so fast with the higher pressure of the voltage determining the lock on ability to the inner plasma core.
And one more thing. The impulses come from the spark gap being filtered by the magnetic stream running across the gap fed by the cap. What you put the impulses into should convert the impulses into real energy. Like a coil rebounds from being pinged. So the transformer on either side of the impulse generator does not necessarily need to be there. Again have fun and start slowly.
