I just stumbled across Jeri Ellsworth's youtube channel.  She is a self taught IC chip designer that has a lab that I would say is 'exactly' the same as Russ' lol.  Lots of scrapped out electronics around.  She has reverse engineered the commodore 64 for a toy company, and had a Time magazine article about her.  Very interesting life.  Maybe we can get her to finish Stan's dream of putting the WFC circuits on a chip.:D  

Here is a video of her home made transistor:

Here is another one.  We need this for Russ' live shows!

Something's not right here.
She's making her own chips/transistors and she's HOT.
She has to be from outer space :D
Nice find, thanks for sharing :)

That she is. :)
In her home made TSA body scanner video she claims she's not an alien.  I'll find the vid when I get to a pc.

Oh and she builds race cars. ;)

She's awesome :D.

Came across this one about Phase Lock Loops.  lol I didn't finish watching it, a lot of it is going over my head.:s

I wonder how relevant this is to our VIC Coils?

She is awesome Nate. She said it to be complicated but it's really not. The ability for magnetic fluxes to open and close gates from pulses of dc or an ac voltage to have or not have an output of such, is really amazing. By the size of the rectangular box she showed with all of the small transformers in it you can see why computers were so large back then and why transistors took over. But this old tech, I think you to be correct, that it does have much to do with Stan's Vic coils, as she used diodes in some of the outputs of her circuit. Sure wish she would join us in his research, this would truly give us a push ahead. :cool::D:P

Yes, that would be awesome.:D  I was thinking last night this type of memory would be useful for  simple output relay state backup.  One could have a relay that changed state by on or off pulses.  Then say if the power goes out, then back on, it could remember that the relay was on or off before the power went out.  Then it could resume as if no power was lost.  Lots of similarities to Ed Leedskalnin's PMH. :cool:

Yes, there are so many possibilities with this. I've invited Jeri to join this forum, hope she accepts. :D

try a 2 core coupled configuration.
the way i would like to see the magnetic flux saturation, and reversal.

a static charge i call a particle. lots of them make up the charge.

flux may use this kinetic component. including it may be beneficial.
if we think of flux as saturation, and reversal in ferrite core.

i think it is the same as including a static particle.

 they bunch up real hard, and fast. if negative ions, aid this source, including positive ions.

we may be able to directly increase the named flux. describing how it works in reality.
see nutty professor.

:sleepy: magnetic domains they are called. dipole.

8:19-8:41 - Boy that sure sounds, and looks, like Stan's pulses to me.
10:13-11:18 - This looks like a circular version of Stan's "pickup coil" in order to "sense" what's going on.

So, when the core is saturated and then hits that cliff... you get your pulse.

Just some speculation... ... ... would this be applied to the EPG as well?

Reminds me of working on a PDP11 computer with 8K core memory board.

Russ - Does it look like something you have? How about that u-shaped bar with the keeper? (PMH? I think it was being called).

not that i know of. learned some interesting stuff from this one tho. hope she joins. would be grate! :)

Here's Jeri's latest project:

Looks pretty cool, and I haven't played video games much since I was a kid. lol

That is so sweet.
I hope they come out with treadmill kinda games which you play using such goggles while actually moving around.
That be cool :cool:

Here is more on what she is covering and may help better explain.

But I agree she is fantastic. :D

There is a whole set of videos like these brought by PublicResourceOrg

Jeri and Team are broadcasting live 24 hours a day for their CastAR Augmented / Virtual Reality glasses.  Interesting stuff, watching Jeri solder SMD parts to new boards right now..

I'm thinking STL viewer, but gamers will have their day first. :P:D
