Rodin Theory & Coils

Oh.,, Rosphere,, you can be a twisted unit bro,,lmao

Here are a couple videos that I just made.

I cut-off the bottom half of a water bottle and placed it in the center of the ring, (a good fit,) with several ounces of water.  I then taped a 3/8"^3 neo' magnet inside of a bottle cap, with its poles facing the O.D., (perpendicular to the axis of the cap,) sealed in the air with more tape, and placed some black tape on half of the circumference and half of one face for visibility.

The ring is being fed a sinusoidal wave ~5.4V at a frequency of 7.83Hz.  (The spinning effect occurs around the range of 6 to 11Hz.)

Enjoy. 

EDIT: I first placed the neo' mag' in the center without the cup.  It had a tendency to flip around the center for a short time before being sucked under the coils.

Then I put the mag' in the cup, (no water.)  It flitted about the cup randomly, favoring ~42Hz.  Sometimes it would stop moving if it landed dead-center in the cup.

Finally, I tried the cap and water to give it some stability.  Rotation does not happen at ~42Hz, only around 6 to 11Hz.

In this video I have removed all of the water from the cup and placed four 3/8"^3 neo'-mag's inside.  (I secured them together at a 45-degree difference between each other with tape for more "roll-ability."  They are all connected in attracting direction, just spun a bit on the axis.  The tape is there keep this orientation from slipping out of place during operation.  This step is not really necessary.  The assembly tumbles quite nicely just stuck together in a normal squarish fashion--I was just trying to see if I could get a bit more movement without those four flat sides to overcome.)

I am using a ten second loop of a sinusoidal frequency sweep from 440 to 1Hz.

try powering your coil with AC over an aluminum plate, a normal coil will float on and off as demonstrated by Ben Rich, ex-head of Lockheed Skunkworks. Worth seeing what your rodin coil does, 12v may be enough!

also please find below a picture of stonehenge posted by innovation station on the GK Heterodyning thread... as noted by armagdn03 some interesting geometry is evident...

I tried that--no levitation,... no bunnies. 

The thickest aluminum plate that I have was peeled off of a roll from the kitchen, if you know what I mean.  What is the minimum thickness required for this levitation effect?

Also, I am not equipped to push 12V AC into my coil.  The maximum that I can deliver is nearly half that; almost 6V.  I suppose that I could use my 12V battery charger, but that would limit me 60Hz with an inverted negative polarity.

Because I routed the signal through my boom-box, I was able to use the volume control to lower the power to my previous maximum.  At this lower level I was unable to see some of the posted results that occurred at the highest volume, (voltage.)  I imagine that other thresholds of performance may exist at higher power levels.

If you would like to send me thicker aluminum and stronger equipment then I will more than happy to try it again. 

Or, I may even sell my coil on eBay.  (I purchased my wire and foam ring from retail stores, instead of buying on-line, so my cost in parts alone was nearly $45 dollars.  Plus, I have several hours tied-up in construction.  So, I might start the bidding at $60?)

If anyone here has better equipment than me, and would like to purchase my coil for tests, then send me a PM and make me an offer.  I think that I have done all that I can do with what I have available to me.  The most that I have seen with this has already been posted in my videos and... I am starting to lose interest.
