With respect to your posted Reply #3630,

Very well put.  Take it easy and return to experimentation work after your island vacation.

One down... three to go.

I just finally finished the primary to my newest NS coil.
It has no shorts.
It has 5.5 ohm on the copper wire and
9 ohm on the iron wire.

The voltage before any water was 0.24v and after spray-wetting was
0.72v.

The compass moves very powerfully when it is within 4 inches of the core but I am not seeing much of a swing when I pulse the outer iron to inner copper wires.

Step 2 is to get a rotor that will work.
I took a cd player apart and mounted some magnets on a cd.
I think it is not slippery enough.
The local computer fixer told me he might have a HD rotor he could let me have. He wanted to empty the data, he said??
Oh yeah, I forgot, there are people who would take that stuff and do bad things with it!!


Step 3 will be to get the reed switch in the right position.

At least this hard part is over.
Now, fir the frustrating part.

I found a way to hold my compass steady and I am getting a 5 degree swing.
It is slow but repeatable.

Good stuff Jeanna! What type of core and number of winds did you use?

Thanks,

I used the exact core that lasersaber used... um sargent welch soft iron bar?
and the 24 gauge wire from wires uk
And the steel is 19 awg from the hardware store.
Without any covering, it is just a tad fatter than the copper with cotton.

As for number of turns, I just cannot count.  so I think there are 8 rows and
the final row has 65 iron and of course 65 copper turns.

I used a matched pair of wooden discs from a closet rod hanger package. It is hardwood and something from the hardware store.
I drilled a hole in the end and epoxied the bar in place, then drilled 4 small holes for the wires. I did not drill a hole for the reed switch. I need to do that, I think.
I also bought the exact reed switch that lasersaber used.

I used 'flour sack' cotton cloth because it is less thick than T-shirt cloth and not stretchy.

All the info is in his videos that show how-to.
(I want to be sure HE gets the credit for all that good research.)

I will take some credit when I get this one working! 

So, thank you,

jeanna

Maybe it is too wet.
I just watched one of lasersaber's early NS demos and he shows a lot of EM effect, but 10mv of voltage
I had 25mv from just the air moisture. Oh well it is too late now. I will let it dry out and watch what happens.
Meantime, I will try to get a rotor that is smooth and fast.

Jeanna,

may be you still have the ordering info for the reed switches at hand.

Please post the manufacturer, part number (name or code) and where you ordered it. Good reed switches are hard to get. The switching frequency and durability are not so good as one might think.

Greetings, Conrad
