Motor consumes no charge ?

[Gothic]

Finished reading the Steinmetz lectures v1, admittedly skimming through most 
of the math... from what I gather is pretty much what tesla has already
wrote about and that is the switching on a circuit when high tension is
present or switching off a circuit at highest peak... essentially the 
speed of make or break is what causes higher than source voltage in a
transformer or field windings, the lectures were concerned about this
because of the potential breakdown of wire insulators...

Refer to pictures,  The line discharger is a possible remedy to extract
this induced voltage but stop any current "Voltage is cheap"

Steinmetz aey ?  Where did you find the pdf ?

When I was 10 or 12 years old, I used to walk around the neighborhood
with a solenoid strapped to my back, 2 D  cells in a card board tube in series
and one wire down each of my sleeves.  The solenoid was scrapped from
a washing machine (door lock)  Some times I 'd get as many as 6
or 8 kids to hold hands in a circle and shock us all.  I asked my uncle who
was a t.v. repairman why it worked with just 1 coil, and he said it was a fly back
coil. wow ! 

Any ways, one of the things I noticed was, that sometimes the device sparked
a lot stronger than at other times. A second observation was, that you got the shock
when contact was broken. A quick clean break gave the best shock. 

A more rapidly collapsing magnetic field = a higher voltage spike ?  But I'm still some
what puzzled as to how the speed of contact break can vary so much as it does when
manally strokeing two wires together. 

Any ways again, what kinds of exploration / areas are you interested in primarrily ?

Hello again floor,  i,m replying as a courtesy, (i,ve been up for almost two days , caffeine helps )

so if this post seems rude it,s unintentional.
.
well to start off i find things like this fascinating  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOsmEjx6MnA (there is a wire)

The goal is portability, scalability...  or being able to "bug out" on a whim and not be forced into a survival situation
but live within the bounds of nature that only understanding of it can provide as this quote from tom beardon
"nature will allow you to do anything you are clever enough to figure out, nature has been most kind"  That,s not
an exact quote but close...

in other words a home based power system to run things like, a refrigerator, an electric water pump, hydroponic greenhouse,
anything that can be done with labor saving devices. in a E.L.E saving calories is critical.

Or perhaps I just want a breath of fresh air, away from it all.  Here is an example from personal experience, Long story short
I used to be an an avid listener to "Alternative news" years when the patriot movement was legitimate, It has morphed into
a pile of false prophets swimming in cesspools... (enough of that crap)  since then I quit listening to radio, radio news, television
news etc... and I feel better for it... and if there was a legitimate way to create electricity, I would not be online...

I would like to do this before I,m to damn old to care...

plus i would show neighbors how it is done if they were interested...

I,ve got to go, the lamp oil is just about gone...

I 100% agree Gothic.  Lets see if we can find a way to go offline together.

This little electro-mechanical device has my interest at the moment.  Supposedly
it shuttles charge back-n-forth through the step-down transformer without depleting
the initial charge connected to the rotating shaft with capacitor plates.

I'll try to do some testing with a prototype and let you know what I discover.

I just happen to have some adjustable caps that will work,
I.ll try it out myself, will be gone for a few days so i,ll be
back in a few days,  awesome concept...

p.s. still groggy can,t write very well......
