Complete information on working SM style device.

@ Spherics, all

I am in the process of constructing electronics to drive the 4-coil version shown on the first page, but am a bit concerned about the coils themselves.  How large should they be?  Is there a preferred length/diameter ratio?

If I wind a coil that is 2" long by 1/2" diameter and has 1000 turns on it, that coil should have an inductance of only 2.8mH.  Pumping a 300V square wave through such a coil, even at a high frequency such as 320KHz, is going to dissipate over 10W of power in the top coil alone.

On a more interesting note, the NMR frequency of iron is 323MHz.  Divide that frequency by 90 and you get 3.58MHz (a subharmonic of the iron NMR frequency).  3.58MHz is the frequency of the chrominance signal in an NTSC color TV.  It is interesting to note that the chrominance signal is delayed with a wire or piezo delay line to stay in sync with the B/W portion of the signal.  Seems like SM embedded clues all over the place, but you have to know what he is referring to in order to understand them!

Divide 3.58MHz by 100 and you get 35KHz.  Divide by 15 and you get 240KHz.  Sound familiar?

I wonder if the two frequencies given were the resonant frequencies of the kick coil and the iron delay coil respectively?

Just some thoughts.

@ Bruce,

Yes, Thor may indeed rise from the ashes.  Perhaps it should be renamed Phoenix?  

I have a piezo delay line from an old color TV--the delay is 63 microseconds.  I might want to try that instead of the iron coil...

Which begs these questions:

1. Is iron needed in the design, or just a delay of xx us?
2. If iron is not needed nor used anywhere in the design (but a delay is), then why is the NMR frequency of iron being used?

I have the same questions!

Since Spherics seems to have abandoned us, at least for now (last logon date was several days ago), I am going to halt construction of the test device until he provides some more information.  I have several other projects that need my attention right now!

I did have a chance to test more of the iron-wire-delay version, and the only kicks I can see are of the normal inductive variety.

Spherics, are you coming back?

From spherics's first post:

"Iron is magnetic because of the geometry and spacing of its atoms (stationary waves remember) which interact with the ether flow in a resonant fashion despite what you may already believe! The NMR is directly linked to this geometric spacing and hence to the resonant frequency of the ether."

If I interpret what spherics said with your slant on that paragraph, is this what he is saying?

The NMR frequency of iron also happens to be the resonant frequency of the aether, and therein lies the reason we use the NMR frequency of iron, whether iron is used as a delay coil or not.
