My totally Baked IDEA

[bigfatpothead]

Maybe I could use an AC inverter and convert that to DC and charge a large capacitor then use the cars spark plug wire to trigger the huge capacitor to fire the electromagnet? it would require a seperate large capacitor for each cylinder.

I am fairly certain this will work I just need to find out more about winding magnets...
anyone got any good links for winding magnets and determining the size of the magnetic field in an electromagnet?
Is there software for this? Electromagnet software,,, I guess I should search google for that.

Hi BigFatPotHead,

About your "totally baked idea": sounds creative, IMHO.

A bit off topic: about Dave Lawton's circuit

Thanks for your vids (on http://www.bigfatpothead.com/) and also for sharing. Obviously, your (Meyer)/Lawton's circuit is doing very well.
My own Lawton's circuit is more nice-looking than the one on the video, unfortunately it does not work as expected! I just got very little bubbles...: So, I (temporarily) gave up.

Now, thanks to (the sound of) your vids and an AM radio, I will be able to test it again more seriously and precisely.

Few questions please:
How many amps your circuit is drawing from the bat?

Are you using the first d14.pdf file (10th June 2006) or the updated one (2nd June 2007, with 2 additional coils (100 turns 22 swg on 3/8"" ferrite rod.))?

Hi, 

There some useful discussion on electromagnets here: http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,3799.0.html

Hi Gyulasun,

May I suggest you this very book:
"Solenoids Electro-Magnets and Electro-Magnetic Windings" by Charles Underhill . 1914... Reprinted by Lindsay Publications Inc.

http://www.amazon.com/Solenoids-Electro-Magnets-Electro-Magnetic-Windings-Underhill/dp/155918096X (for example). About $16.

I ordered (and received) this book a couple of month ago. It is full of nice formulas, abacus, diagrams, pictures, tables etc.. As I'm not a scientist, I must confess that I have not fully read this book.

My lawton circuit is drawing less than 5 amps.

I used the original dave circuit ,

I was able to boost my car from 28 mpg to 45 mpg.

I was able to listen to the circuit and hear the pulses getting faster, the bubbles take a few seconds to catch up to the sound so go slow.
