The MAGTROL  brakes are not HYSTERISIS activated. I'm surprised they claim that.   

Hysterisis comes about by cycling the operating point of a ferromagntic material back and forth along the H-B  curve.   This requires AC, and these brakes use DC (just follow the flux path, they even say it's dc, the small poles all have the same polarity, so it's not like an alternator rotor with alternating N S poles).

The principle of operation here is eddy currents, which get induced due to motion through a magnetic field, which in the case of these brakes exists radialy in the airgap through which the rotor (cup) passes.   Just because the rotor shaft is magnetic does not negate the effect and somehow make it hysterisis activated, it's still eddy current induction and the steel amplifyes the magnetic field of the eddy currents and the Dc flux in the gap.

That's how I see it, but that's not realy related to what this Heins guy is doing.

DMBoss and Steven are right, that the core losses have to be researched and I agree, that the videos were done not very professionally from a measurement standpoint.
But if you look again at video 4 where he shows the coils inside the toroidal core, it would only take to measure the output power when the coils are shortrd out not directly but across a load and then compare versus the input power.
Also I think these videos might be a bit older as he now claims to have an overunity transformer having 0.2 Watts input and 14 Watts output.

So maybe Luc, who knows him can ring him up and get the latest infos from Mr. Heins ?
Many thanks.

Does anyone have an email address for Heins. Maybe he would be willing to show up here or on the Steorn forum to discuss what he has.

Look at this simple video:

Just repeated the experiment with my oral B electric tooth brush.  The frequency (or the sound from the vibrating brush system) changed with the approaching of a strong magnet.

So there is nothing revolutionary with the Thane Heins discovery???

hahaha

Lawrence, you're showing your ignorance again! Your knowledge of Physics is elementary at best and your knowledge of magnetics and electronics is at the grade school level.

The moral of the story is don't believe everything you see and certainly don't jump the gun in announcing a great find to try impress others you're on the 'leading edge' in understanding these great OU findings, including such home made flying saucer experiments from your commie friends.

Haven't you been laughed at long enough and by more people you can even count? I would have thought you would have learnt by now about not teaching your nonsense on this and other forums, eh?

cheers
