Maybe it's time for a lesson in basic electronics The only problem
with Meyer's technology is that nobody has a clue as to what he was
doing in his circuit, so let's walk through it. In the circuit below
we have a pulsed DC current input to a toroidal core transformer, the
secondaries of this transformer form a resonant series circuit. The
resonant series "working circuit" consisting of the secondary
transformer windings, blocking diode, a resonant charging choke,water
cell capacitor and variable inductor. When people look at this circuit
they see what they want to see, that is what there textbooks have told
them they should see, but that is not all there is. So let's see what
really happens based on facts I have learned from actually building
the circuit.
First a DC pulse charges the toroidal transformer primary inducing a
higher potential voltage in the transformer secondaries. Since the
primary current is pulsed DC the secondary current is also pulsed DC,
the secondary windings produce a current flow through the blocking
diode then when the primary current is abruptly stopped an inductive
discharge (flyback current) is discharged through the blocking diode
from the secondaries. Many people consider the inductive discharge and
other reactive components as having no power in them but this is only
because they lack the understanding of how these reactive components
should be utilized. The inductive discharge would normally fly right
through this circuit with little effect if it not for one component ---
the resonant charging choke. I wonder why it is named resonant
"charging" choke? this would imply it is charged by something and it
is charged by the inductive discharge from the transformer
secondaries. The resonant charging choke is Tesla patent 512340 "coil
for electromagnets" and is a bifiliar wound coil. This coil does one
thing-----it stores the high voltage inductive discharge from the
transformer secondaries as capacitance between the conductor windings
and this capacitance also cancels the inductance of the coil. This is
one point many people cannot seem to understand, If the capacitance of
this coil constitutes energy stored in the form of an electrostatic
field then this capacitance must discharge when the circuit potential
drops but the capacitance is not polarized externally ----so where
does it discharge to?. The blocking diode ensures the resonant
charging choke current discharges in the same direction as the current
that charged it in the first place. So here we have a situation where
the induced current in the secondaries charges the resonant charging
choke and the water cell capacitor, next the resonant charging choke
discharges with an equal current in the same direction through the
water cell capacitor. The resonant charging choke bifiliar would coil
is an integral part of what Tesla refered to as a "magnifying effect"
whereby the potential of the circuit does as much "work" as the
current. Next we have a variable inductor after the water cell, this
variable inductance is designed to tune the circuit. A variable
inductor stores energy in the form of a magnetic field, this
inductance can act just like a flywheel. That is the inductance will
oppose a rising current by producing a magnetic field and it will
oppose a falling current by raising its voltage to maintain current----
just like a flywheel uses momentum to resist change. That is the
purpose of the variable inductance---to maintain current flow in one
direction through the circuit which includes the water cell capacitor.
I hope you are starting to see what is happening in this circuit,
there is no overunity---that is impossible, there is no magical zero
point energy appearing out of nowhere, there are no fairies sprinkling
magical pixie dust to power the circuit. There are know and proven
facts, action and reaction, in this case the facts are that the
inductive discharge current from the transformer secondaries has never
been utilized in an efficient manner. Each DC input pulse will raise
both circuit potential and current simultaneously, as such the energy
or "work" performed in the working circuit will always be greater than
the input energy.
It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results. So why do you do
the same things over and over, building your circuits in exactly the
same way, it should be obvious you will never achieve different nor
better results.
