The Gabriel Device, possible COP=8

[Mavendex]

Found another link you might be interested in that also mentions permalloy sheet:

I tried simulating the original Gabriel device in Ansys Maxwell, but it appears that too much input power is required to get the outer shell saturated in case of pure iron.
The example shells are simply too thick to work out a practical implementation.
Iron sheet would help out as well probably and is a bit cheaper than any permalloy material I guess.

Like I said in previous posts Iron won't work. Something easier to charge would be nice, like permalloy or supermalloy, The current shells at 120 volts and 1.8 amps is as low as I could get it and still get no reflection. Now if we can do that with plain old cold rolled steel I would think those more exotic materials that are used as transformer materials in some cases would be a benefit, I don't expect anyone else to try it, and of course it will be costly but that's science

Juggling a few replications this end, while getting the Modular rig Systems out the door also, but hey good to be busy!!

Well decided a couple weeks ago after speaking with Mavendex to have a go at this, so got some cores in and also some bloody thick wire, which is a bitch to wind LOL
Got some 417 and some higher permability 117's

Some photos attached.

First full Layer is on that using 16awg wire,this took approx 350 turns and  going for 2000 winds which works out about 760 feet.

Will finish off winding it between other stuff.

Cheers

Nice to see you on this Sean, I hope this will give the concept a boost to encourage others to explore it. May I ask what you're going to use for the primary core?

Hi Broli

For the primary, the same steel doughnut shell as Mavendex used, wrapped with 9awg.

Cheers

Can anyone say how hard it is to cut Permalloy?  I've got a metal saw that does well getting through 1/4" thick pure Titanium.  Would Permalloy likely be harder than Titanium to cut?  I don't see anything in it that looks like it is real hard by itself other than Molybdenum.
