Yeah so I paused and cant see anything.

However my motivation has been increased.

It is only a cutaway of the toroid which is what I was curious about. Unfortunately the video quality is poor. If your unable to see it then I'm not sure what the problem is.

The version in that video is using normal ceramic ferrite rings
Found inside a power supply, or etc.
You can order them on eBay or amazon or cannabalize something
They are coiled in a "bucking" configuration.
2 coils per toroid
So the magnetic poles oppose each other n-n/s-s
With a gap between them about 1/6th of the circumference
very sloppily I might add....


The large ring is a stack of speaker rings (plastic?)
to hold the receiver coils in place.
Cap 1 is between the primaries
Cap 2 between the secondaries
The other ends are crossed 1-2
and 1 to a coil
2 to another coil
and the big coil uses a cap as the "virtual ground"
you can replace his reed switch with any other switch
to turn it off and on.
It's just like Stiffler/Tesla it just is arranged differently
Pancake coils might work better/easier
His cylindrical coils require proper spacing between them
notice how large the gap is when they cut into it
Like the "string can intercom", works best at distance intervals



The outer coils are wound in the same direction
So they cooperate
The inner coils buck against each other, and the difference
in timing between them (because it's not well built) causes the
physical vibration (losses).




Tune the big coil to your favorite FM station
and screw up their advertising budget while you harvest
power from their station.


Tune it to 60 Hz, and get rid of your wall outlets....


Or.... tune it to 7.81~??

There's square/rectangular stacked metal plate transformers
That have bucking coils on each side.
These can replace his toroids.
And probably way more efficient


The round shape of the antenna is not important
We can make a square one, or any shape as long as
the geometry and spacing allows the 2 smaller coils
to pick up the field from the big one, and feed it into
both of the bucking transformers.


To describe that magnetically, it's like the reactive inductance
large motors can put on a load meter.
Or the "virtual current" a large generator puts out just before
it kicks on.


The pickup coils catch the signal from the larger receiver coil
from the top and from the bottom.
(which is amplified by the capacitor)
each one feeds half of a bucking coil
This in turn charges the other half across the cap
because the whole toroid develops a field not just the half
The "virtual energy" is added back into the circuit the 2nd
half of the cycle.


The toroid coils aren't important for it to work.
Of course the better they are wound, the more efficient the
energy conversion.
But the whole of the functionality lies in the receiver coils.
They must operate constructively with the input frequency.
Not destructively.
That is the key.

There no difference between ferrite and alloy wire. Alloy wire will allow for longer wavelength.

I'll have to shop for materials and decide on a variety of designs.
