Re-Inventing The Wheel-Part1-Clemente_Figuera-THE INFINITE ENERGY MACHINE

[core]

Interesting theory. Certainly within the realm of possibility. I would remind you that after the worlds fair in the early 1900's it was decided by all the major bankers and leaders that the world would be a society based on industry not agriculture. Soon after the war of the currents started. Tesla may have partnered with those who sought to exploit the electrification of the nations in order to secure his funding and his place in history. Plus he was really pissed at Edison over one of the projects Edison said he pay Tesla XX amount of money if he could find a way to do something which I do not remember what that was exactly. Then Edison told him he was not serious and that Tesla did not understand American sarcasm after Tesla did the work.
  Nice looking build by the way.
Another thing to consider they all learned from the same information sources when they were younger.

Doug,

Whats interesting is that many people worked for Edison, including Tesla. Edison patented many devices, some of these devices most likely Edison had no creative input. Tesla redesigned his dynamo, I am sure, because Tesla worked for Edison, that Edison patented the redesigned dynamo device under his name and not Tesla.
So its possible that the device I am referencing had no creative input from Edison but was designed by a very creative employee of his. Edison most likely saw it function, as designed, and had the business sense to patent it.

Who knows...... regardless it has given me an avenue of experimentation.


Build update:
Started working on the electronics. I have about another 30 hours of work before I can start tuning the device.

Hello everyone,

I have not followed this forum to much as i have been very busy with life so i have been reading prior post to catch up.

thanks for the pic Hannon very informative.

i was thinking the other day on how to switch Figueras device electronically with out using resistors and this is what i came up with.......Tell me what you think?

Marathonman,


I hope you are fine. I am glad to see you here again, This is a good sign.


You proposal is fine, at least under my limited knowledge. With a small DC signal you may control the big AC signal fed into one serie of electromagnets throgh a magnetic amplifier.


So far it is fine. The problem is that you need  two unphased signals, one for each serie of electromagnets (N and S). The problem is again how to get both unphased signals and tune them in the proper way . I already thought about Mag Amp for this subject but I could not solve properldy how to get the second signal. After many hours I gave up and I thought that maybe it was better the mechanical system even if it has many losses in the resistors. This is like a no-end road because I had not enough skills to build th mechanical conmmutator so I got stucked in this point


Core,


Your device looks great. I hope you the best, even if it is not pure Figuera´s design. You proposal of switching sequence and shorted coils were not part of any Figuera´s patent. You quote from Thomas Edison patent No.  US 434586 is curious, although I think that that does not means a selfpowering device. It is like many generators where some internal field electrmagnets are powered by part of the electrical output after the start-up. But these are not self-powering generators, because they rely on an external source to move the rotor

  You dont need the bridge rectifier use center tap coils as magnetic diodes. Ref Tesla pat title Dc currents from AC and work the principal into your design. If your dc input is equal to the winding output if run as a secondary then the battery will match half the ac cycle and cancel out half the cycle enabling it to be split. If the battery runs low the cancelled half will feed forward charge into the battery to keep it charged. The sequence of turning on the inverter will be tricky because when you force voltage into the output side it will fry if you have no isolation between the dc input to mag amp and AC output of the inverter. If you short out the dc input of the mag amp and add a capacitor + a dump load like light bulb to tell you when the dc is present you might be able to work it out. It seems a bit Rube Goulburg"ish to me but maybe it will work. There is also a residual charge left in the inverter even when turned off I have no idea what effect it will have when the unit is turned off and on repeatedly. You might want to add a switch between the AC output of the inverter and everything ells.

Roughly like this.
