Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Wavez,
do you think you can  pump 300 amp pulses
through this pretty thin wire ?
Okay, if you just make them very short maybe...

Better use bigger diameter wire.
Any video or pictures yet available from Uncle Fester and Dr.T ?
Would like to see your selfrunning devices.
Maybe you can go to your neighbour and ask
him to loan his handyphone with integrated camera and
make at least a few pics, if you own camera broke.

You could do this when it is not running,
so you might not fry your neighbours mobile phone....

Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Lol! I have a new camera coming by Thursday and will have video and images.

Hello DrSimon.  Thank you for attempting to scope R's device for beta.  That is unfortunate you were unable to replicate what R tried. Maybe there is something that was done differently.

Perhaps it will be more fruitful to try a nice voltage/discharge into a magnetically biased carbon rod, and see if that produces beta?  We need discharge voltages 48V-1000V+ (not 12V ), with amps somewhat depending on voltage. This was the original setup as discovered, both by JL Naudin, Juan, Unclefester, and others. Remember it is not just one person who has produced beta, JLN has as well and I have posted an experimental photograph below.  Hopefully I will be able to do this myself by the experiment by the of the week.  I am waiting to do this right so I do not court uncessesary frustration and some of my parts are still on the way.

Keep on rocking in the free world!

@allcanadian
Thank you for your thoughts and for the Moray quote. One trick may be to experiment with 'rise time' in an experimental setup which is generating beta.   Another trick may be to use different methods of discharge in order to cause the most rapid current saturation possible without too much heating.

I'm never staying up until 4AM for anything.


EVER.

Unless it's a lunar eclipse or a once in a lifetime astronomical event.

I was using small gauge wire, about the same gauge as the wires in a ribbon cable.

Stranded wire.

basically ten or fifteen strands of 30-ish gauge wire in a bundle in some insulation.

I soldered my hookups, and apparently there was one strand.

ONE MOTHER F)(KING G()D D_MNED STRAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shorted intermittently to the frigging aluminum shield.

Results a fluke.

forcnig the short, i found .88 volts across the diode.

.88V

I'm about as pissed as all get out.

Called Fester at 5 to report results.

Posted here and wasted everyone's time and resources.

WTF.

I'm going out to the forge to beat the shit out of something hard and metallic. I may wind up with a new toroid core, or I might just wind up with some high carbon steel foil.

Either way, I won't be so pissed afterwards.

Cheers.

To eliminate the possibility of a current transformer effect - think of AC clamp meters - put the clamp around a wire, and measure voltage/current... its a toroid with a hinge... just like what we've got...


Run your carbon rod through the toroid, but bring your ground and power leads out the same face of the toroid. Like in my setup with the resistor mounted vertically... the power and ground leads are anti-parallel, so that any induced field in the toroid (which I did not have on the setup with the shielding in place in the photo) resulting from one lead would be canceled by the opposing lead.

Someone who has beta results, please replicate this setup so that there is no chance of skewing the results. What we need now are accurate numbers.

Actually, that's what I need. I'm moving back to theoretician.

If someone gets good results, please post a schematic and parts list, and I will simply follow those reccomendations. This is obviously not a low voltage effect.

At least, I've partially verified my own *fing* calculations regarding the threshold voltage being between 100 and 300V. 37V pulses seem to do it, but scads better results at 100V.

Well, as long as you've got shielding it's better...lol.

Annnyhow... I really feel like a complete dumbass right now, so again, headed out to the forge unless something super awesome comes up.

Also, thanks for the replication. Even though I'm a dumbass, at least it didn't cost too much to toss a diode in there.

Frick.

yes -- very good suggestion. (he says kicking himself for not making it) In fact it would be good to get outputs from all experimenters with through and canceling current loop configurations.
