Also, the output of the Clemente Figuera device was just under 400v from all known accurate accounts

Hi Smoky
May i ask why is so important to saturate the iron core? What saturation offers? I have seen it a lot in similar OU devices. I remember a guy from here stating that as we go to the saturation point inductances go less and less and so the opposition between prims and secs consequently is also decreasing. But this by itself doesn't look as a reason for extra energy. Is it the heat that triggers any kind of atomic or other reactions?

Thanks is advance

Regarding Figuera device the input was interrupted DC from a battery bank about 100 volts and 1amp dc input.. through a resistance coil circuit the voltage was increased..high voltage magnetic fields were used in permanent magnet cores..

My observation was that iron becomes a permanent magnet when subjected to DC and dies not appear to lose magnetism in interuppted DC in high current low voltage experiments..

In pulsed DC and AC it is an electromagnet that loses magnetism or retained very small magnetic field when we stop current.

I was unable to do Figuera device for I didn't feel it prudent to experiment with high voltage magnetic fields. The space available was limited.

Otherwise the patent application is accurate for application by interuppted DC..Car components should work fine but we could not find the carbon brushes that will withstand the sparks.. possibly low voltage DC would reduce the sparks.. This is something that someone can try.

We can get output voltage as desired which is limited only by our funding constraints. 

If we use AC the circuit will be slightly different but the principles are same.
Again one of space and funding constraints. This is something that is possible to do.

Doesnt have to be iron, you can use air core


you could probably experiment with the effect without ever reaching full saturation
though one would question why

[sm0ky2]

Ceramic ferrite cores can switch faster than the low frequency used here
A hard iron, and even some soft iron may hold residual magnetism or not switch before the next pulse


Such is trivial, as a residual field will decrease inductance in one polarity and increase it in the other
Making it essentially balance out because our coil is 1/2 reversed.


For maximum efficiency, i think you would want a core that can keep up with the frequency of the device, but that's my engineering mind talking, when it comes to FE, the logical is not always the right answer.


Theres still a lot of chaos in my city, but as things calm down i will gather a few basic components for a demo test device, that should shed more light on this issue.
What i am aiming for is the simplest form to demonstrate the effect
Then we can build it larger to achieve the results we desire
