Stefan, here is some slow video of the scope and generator.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxeiCIIwcagto my understanding he had the lights connected to the outer coil. as the magnet passes the coil it lights up the lights. as it appears in that video. however there was other configurations with the generating coil on the out side as seen in the fallowing quote.
however it is also noted that the current spike is extremely sharp... so this could indicate that its not from induction, BUT, if the power is cut, when the magnet is more in the 90 degree angle then the current COULD look like that. however i have no real way to say whats what...
that current spike could even be the re connection of the commutator, because the spark can be seen in that "burst" in a totally different time than this large current spike. its all a bit unclear.
Its worded in the patent that the magnetic field produced by the drive coil will cancel out magnet induction from the magnet in the second generator coil IF things are set up correctly. here is some test from pages 28 and 30 from the patent. There is more in there one should read but here is a few bits.
This effect is additionally more fully understood by
stating the following results obtained from experimentation
by the applicant in the process of this invention.
a) When the system is initially attached to a 1.5 volt
size N Battery 201 or 301 and the magnet 200 or 300 and
related rotation entities are placed close to or in the
center of coil 205 or 305, the following results are
observed:
25
If the electric current produced in coil 206 (306) is
then fed back into coil 205 (305) in accordance with proper
polarity, the rotation speed of magnet 200 or 300 will then
accelerate. If fed back into coil 205 (305) in wrong
polarity, the rotation speed of magnet 200 (300) will slow
down,
The
coil 206 (306) can be taken out of the system, or its
electrical current fed away from the system, and the
rotational speed of the magnet 200 (300) will not observably
25 change. However, the rotational speed of magnet 200 (300)
will noticeably change when the electric current from coil
206 (306) is fed back into coil 205 (305)!
b) When the electric current from battery 201 (301)
becomes weaker to the point that the magnetic field coming
from coil 205 (305) has weakened and shrunk allowing the
magnetic field of the rotating magnet 200 (300) to expand
5 and then noticeably induce electric current into coil 206
(306) and into coil 205 (305), then reverse results are
observed. When the magnetic field from the coil 205 (305) is
large, then the magnetic field from magnet 200 (300) is
retained!
70
If coil 206 (306) is then short circuited, the rotation
of magnet 200 (300) will noticeably slow down.
If electric current from coil 206 (306) is fed back
15 into coil 205 (305) in wrong polarity, the rotation of the
magnet 200 (300) will stop. If fed back into coil 205 (305)
in correct polarity, the rotation of the magnet 200 (300)
will slow down. At that point, the rotation of the magnet
200 (300) will not accelerate, no matter how connected!
20
These results show that, at this time, the magnetic
field from magnet 200 (300) noticeably induces a current in
coils 206 (306) and 205 (305) which opposes the rotation of
the magnet 200 (300). This effect has already been mechan-
25 ically explained, and it has been shown that Lenz1 Law was
simply an observation of that mechanical explanation.
so as you can see there was Manny different configurations he was experimenting with on his big unit.
Not just not main coil. but also a smaller coil on the out side of the main coil. With smaller Gage.
I have also tested this with my coil and there was not much change in the results trying to "shield" the magnet field. There for my magnet has to much interaction between the magnet and the coil to obtain the same results as he describes.
also note that he was feeding the outer coil in to the main coil in different polarities. I'm not sure even how he was doing that with a simple commutator. unless the connections were more complex then he shows in most of his other work.
The florescence's on the side of the unit flash when the magnet comes out of the unit. indicating that the florescent is connected to the motor winding. and flashing to suppress the spark. you can see this spark on the scope shot as well. when it has a burst / the trace "explodes"
also there is this consent rise in the trace on the scope shot. I'm not 100% sure where there measuring this ether. or what the time base it. its hard to tell.
If i make the time base small i can get a similar scope reading with very large current spikes. but nothing in the 10's of amps range that is shown on some scope shots in the other reports.
its also important to note that the inductive reactance in his big coil seems to play a big roll in his results. as he only has around 13 ohms in his big coil. however the coil I'm working with is 50K ohms. i'm guessing this dramatically changes the out come.
500V @ 13 ohms even for the large inductance of 100 ( his big coil was less than that from my understanding) is a lot more current. so the induction like I'm exploring could be canceling out the input current along with the inductive reactance.
Just some thoughts...
more to do...
