That's great Thane!

Are you feeling closer to having something where your work can be seen in an application of some sort?  I think that's really going to be key in getting to any next significant stage.

Is Luc still working with you? He's been rather quiet!

MAGAZINE ARTICLES ARE FUN AND BRING GOOD EXPOSURE ( GQ MAGAZINE IS ALSO COMING OUT WITH AN ARTICLE SOON AS WELL ) BUT THE REAL GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS CURRENTLY CANVASING "CANADIAN UNIVERSITY ENERGY PHD'S" TO HEAD UP A GOVERNMENT RESEARCH GRANT PROPOSAL DUE TO THE LATEST PROMISING TEST DATA ETC.

THIS (HOPEFULLY) WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO "REAL EXPOSURE" WITH CONCRETE OBJECTIVES AND LEGITIMATE VERIFICATION WHICH TRANSCENDS THE INTERNET HOOPLA.

MY GOAL IS STILL TO BUILD A GENERATOR FOR THE DUNE BUGGY BUT I AM ONCE AGAIN A ONE MAN SHOW AS LUC HAS RETURNED TO HIS OWN RESEARCH.

CHEERS

I think the issue you'll need to address if you want to apply Dixon's work to this is the question of frequency.

DEAR ASTROTURFERman,

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN APPLYING ANYONE'S WORK. THE EFFECTS PRODUCED BY THE HV COILS INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF:

INCREASED FREQUENCY
WIRE GUAGE REDUCTION - INCREASED IMPEDANCE - AND EDDY CURRENTS
TURNS RATIO - PROXIMITY EFFECTS

AND HOW ALL OF THESE CONTRIBUTE TO A SUPRESSION OR DELAY OF THE MAGNETIC FIELDS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE LENZ EFFECTS AND HOW THEY MIGHT BE RETARDED JUST ENOUGH TO CREATE LEMON AID.

Oh, OK, sorry. I'd assumed that as you'd cited Dixon as a reference and quoted chunks of his text and diagrams in your paper that you felt his work was relevant to what you're doing. In any case, I do think that your frequencies are way too low for the skin effect to come into play. That's just my opinion although I do think it's supported by Dixon's math.

SO ANYWAY THIS IS MY FIRST REAL STAB AT EXPLAINING WHY HV COILS CAN DECELERATE THE SYSTEM AT 999 RPM AND THEN ACCELERATE IT AT 1000 RPM. I DON'T FEEL THAT IT HAS TO BE 100% CORRECT.

It's a good thing you don't feel that the explanation is 100% correct, since the explanation seems to assume there is an innate difference between a low impedance coil and a high impedance one other than the impedance itself.
The explanation does little to show why a high impedance coil will give an acceleration effect and a low impedance coil will not (according to Thane), especially when it has already been shown that a low impedance coil can give exactly the same acceleration as a high impedance coil.
E.G Nali2001's low impedance coil causing acceleration when under partial load due to powering a globe.

LOW IMPEDANCE COILS DO NOT CAUSE ACCELERATION WHEN LAMINATED CORES ARE USED - PERIOD.

THE SUPPORTING DIXON ARTICLE DEALT WITH EDDY CURRENTS AND HOW A WIRE WITH HIGH EDDY CURRENTS BLOCKS CURRENT FROM THE CONDUCTOR CORE.

MY EXPLINATION ( 1st DRAFT ) DEALT WITH HOW EDDY CURRENTS CAN DISTORT THE CURRENT FLOW IN A HV COIL - AND EDDY CURRENTS CAN BE PRODUCED IN MORE THAN ONE MANNER.

IF YOU EMPLOY THE WATER ANALOGY AND GRADUALLY DECREASE THE "FLOW AREA" YOU MIGHT SEE AN INCREASE IN EDDY CURRENTS ON THE SIDES OF THE CHANNEL. - IF THIS OCCURS AS WELL IN AN ELECTRIC CONDUCTOR YOU MAY SEE A REDUCTION IN COIL INDUCED MAGNETIC FIELDS AND A REDUCTION IN THE COIL'S ABILITY TO PRODUCE A MAGNETIC FIELD AS PER LENZ'S LAW.
