I disagree with the global warming argument, however the destabilization is somewhat of a concern although not a bigger concern than things staying the way they are.

And there is the flip side, transforming the world (however awkward or straightforward the transformation is) into a space faring clean green Utopia where no one need be sick (Orgone or life force energy is a straight-forward application of aetheric engineering) sure sounds worth losing a few jobs or disrupting/collapsing the economy to me.

That's the fear-invoking excuse the people in control use all the time to justify the status quo.  They don't like surprises...

I say, BS!  Like Thomas Jefferson said, a little revolution every now and then is necessary!  I think the world is long overdue for a good destabilization!  Sure, it generates some turmoil in the short term, but that will all settle out and we'll be much better off long term.  Think I'll have a beer when I get home and toast "a little bit-o destabe"...
Cheers!

I'd keep it under wraps if I were you. The most serious concern would certainly be the destabilization of the world, especially with the overnight collapse of the oil industry. And as far as misuse of the technology, the biggest danger would be a dramatic increase in global warming if a large number of people start using those big heat-generating coils all at once. And don't let anyone know your address - oh, oops, you already have...

There's no reason for this.  What pleasure does it give you to be a straight up jerk? Your assumption that your thought processes are superior to those of others we have seen on this forum and in the larger FE community is as unproven as anything else.  I've been enormously lucky in that experience has taught me that people who do/think/process much differenty than me are better at some things than I am, including accurate perception of things that escape me entirely.  You don't consider for one moment that it in this particular endeavour it might be you who is poorly equipped.

Regardless, people have worked hard and don't deserve this kind of gratuitous meanness.

Here are a few thoughts for anyone replicating...

Go the MOT route if you can. (I use 18 pole NNN SSS NNN SSS neo rotor)
note: If Thane could explain how to cut and mount them the 'easy' way that would be great. (I seemed to go through 1 grinder disk per transformer and to not damage the HV coil I cut most of the way then bent back and forth the remaining bit of steel on each lamination attaching the sides of the E until they broke, all up it's about 20 minutes to do the I bars (just zip along the weld and hammer if needed) and um the best part of a day to remove the sides of the E.   (if you don't have the transformer secured by a vice it will flip and fly on to the floor damaging the secondary coil when the grinder catches)

Get a decent Tach, with a multimeter I can resolve down to 60 rpm, with the tach I can resolve to 1 rpm and less.  You wouldn't call 1 hz increase per minute success on a multimeter but you may 1 RPM increase every second on a tach.

Make sure there is a closed magnetic circuit for the stators if you can, it really boosts the effect, also hugely important is getting the rotor stator gap down. (it's what made mine work)

I need about 1000 rpm+ currently for the HV coils to start really kicking in. (at 600+ I may have a slight effect but it's not very impressive)


Thane, you were going to release a photo essay weren't you? Or was that already posted by JM?

No progress to report yet today, still getting it working right after the incident yesterday but think I've got it pretty good.

BTW Ron, I'd still love to see that current measurement of your shorted HV coils.

They are put on last right? (closer to the rotor magnets than the HC coils)

er - i think you guys'll find this is sarcasm - but OUman couldn't find an icon for it in the 'smiley' list

...used to have a problem with being sarcastic myself (before i became older - and hopefully wiser) 

all the best

PS looking forward to hearing about developments on the Thane-mobile and the Aether-net
