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

[Sam6]

I am new to this forum and have read the posts dated prior to October 2014. You people have really put forth some good stuff. So far, I have not seen a simple, low power circuit that provides 90 degree out of phase excitations for the Figuera 1908 patent. Therefore, I present the following for your consideration. I hope you find it useful.

Attached is a drawing of a circuit whose inputs connect to the count pulse outputs of the CD4017 circuit provided by Patrick Kelly. Each output pulse simultaneously drives the bases of two NPN 2N222 transistors. Each base draws 2.4 ma. The counter outputs are rated for 10 ma, so they are not overloaded. There are sixteen transistors in all. The transistors sequentially ground connecting points in two different strings of series resistors in the adjustment circuits of two LM317T adjustable voltage regulators to provide two quasi-sinusoidal outputs that are ninety degrees out of phase.

Each output is capable of supplying 1.7 Amps. The LM317Ts can handle up to 37 volts DC. If greater current is required, the outputs can be used to provide input signals to emitter followers or other high power devices such as DC drives - assuming the acceleration circuits can be adjusted to permit the rapid response required for this circuit.

The resistors are selected to simulate the equivalent of a 90 degree segment of a sine wave. The values progress from small to large in both strings. The sequence of grounding in one string progresses from small to large, and the grounding sequence in the other string progresses from large to small, thus producing outputs that are 90 degrees out of phase.

If you check the application notes of the LM317T, you will find that they suggest a different circuit for digital output selection. I chose not to use it because the required watt ratings of the small resistors were larger then those of the circuit I used. This is shown in the attached spreadsheet.

I have not yet built the complete circuit. I have built half of the circuit powered by 12 VDC to verify that the LM317T can respond fast enough. It does. However, I do not yet have a completely satisfactory working circuit. The attached oscilloscope picture of one of the waveforms shows that there is a problem in one of the counter circuits that causes some of the segments not to appear. I have not yet fixed this, but suspect that a couple of diodes are malfunctioning as I have seen similar problems while getting this device working.

I would appreciate any suggestions for improvements to this circuit.

  And Figueras device is "every AC System" RIGHT. i have my own opinion and you have yours. i am done explaining, researching, expressing,  the bottom line is the Figueras Device is solved in general and all one needs to do is build it. all the little particulars can be argued for months but i will not indulge in that.
95% of my idea's were mine but i did have some guidance from someone that has had a working device for over a year now and i thank him VERY MUCH for dropping hints here and there.
in my design i widened the outer caps so to bolt down, used 1/2 inch thick center supports and added a clear Acrylic top for support and protection. i also added temperature controlled fans to the ends for thermal control. i also designed the self powering system and circuits but other than that all i need to do is wait for the rest of the money to build it. as i build i will post on youtube for other to see.
I can say it was a good journey over the last year and a half and i enjoyed it thoroughly.

Well  Sam6 it seams that you have not put out any effort because if you did you would of read ALL the post. see if you would of read ALL the post you would be up to date on everything and realize people Have posted low power circuits over a year ago and months ago. my circuit is 5 volt, is that low enough for you.
Besides their are to many ways to electronically drive the Figueras device, what you should be doing is concentrating on it's operation (what makes it tick) in which you know nothing because you did not read the post.  how in the world do you expect to solve ANY problem without ALL the information available . that's like butting in on a conversation offering a solution that you know nothing about.
Welcome to the forum by the way.
all information posted in the last month will give one enough knowledge to build a working Figueras device...... some just can't see it.

Here is everything one needs to get a working Figueras Device.
