Hubbard coil

[Bennyboy]

It always makes me wonder when someone does a complicated mathmatical breakdown of a project showing theory and dimensions....and never actually BUILDING the thing!

Why?  Surely if you'd done all the theory you'd want to know if it actually worked or not?  Seeing as G D Much produced this analysis 8 years ago and no news of a working Hubbard Coil has surfaced you'd have to hesitate to follow his directions...?

Howdy,

@MDMiller thanks for the info.

@BennyBoy, well, you know some people are designers other people are fabricators.

I have always been a "lets build it now, and we'll do the documentation after its working" kind of dude.  At the moment I am trying to decide if I want to deconstruct the current coil, or if I want to start from scratch.  I am leaning to putting my current prototype in storage and starting anew.

Well check it out!

We have documentation out the wazoo from 100 yrs ago. We got demos written about. We got flakes. We got prestidigitator tots! And we got all that in this last 3 decades also.

But we have only 4 real thingys going on in front of our eyes and that is the Bedini motor, the Muller motor, the Steven Mark coils and Tesla coils. These things work, are documented, open source and free for the taking.

Why do I say this? I don't know! There is definately something strange comin' outa the wood pile, eh?

Has anybody found the 2003 GM video of the vehicle that is a platform with a replacable body shell and a laterally changable steering console? It was white, the rear view mirror was a video monitor, you could look down between your feet and see the road, Why? No pedals. The platform was the power drive. I saw no gas or battery array.
You want to see something that will really piss you off? Then find that!

But press on.

Howdy Y'all,

So what are you saying here GiantKiller?  Do you not think that a Hubbard Coil is feasible?  Or are you saying the Hubbard Coil is similar to a TPU and is something worth pursuing?  Hubbard lived back in the heyday of Tesla and Moray.  I think that back then there was a more fundamental understanding of electricity.  Electronics did not exist then and everything was a lot simpler.  Now everything is overcomplicated.  There are electronics in everything.  I know greenhorn engineers that just can not function without a computer.  There are quite a few people on this site that use their sound card for a signal source rather than designing a circuit to generate a signal.  Other people here don't even know what an oscilloscope is.  When they find out they download a piece of software that uses the microphone circuit on the sound card as their input to the oscilloscope software.  Blech!

To master fundamental problems in electricity you need to work with real electricity, design actual circuits and not simulate something on the GD computer...

I would not put Hubbard on the level where Tesla and Moray are.  It seems that he was given the design for his generator through some divine source and did not pursue it to its ultimate ends.  Tesla and Moray were life long electrical experimenters.  They are the authority on electrical phenomena.  However I think the Hubbard Coil is worth pursuing.  Not just because of its alleged divine source, but also because it makes sense to me.  Also because I have been pursuing it for a long time and am determined to get it to work.  I actually did have a little success but did not know it at the time.  When I had the primary coils of the Soft Particle Reactor connected in series the device made this interesting little wave form which was down in the noise.  If I had my scope connected to the coil when the driver circuit was off it made this wave form that had seven peaks.  There are seven primary coils in the Soft Particle Reactor.  I didn't think to connect the coils in a loop.  I wasn't getting the amplitude that I was expecting and was obsessing on that .  I would up reconfiguring the primaries in parallel and trying a different approach with my drive circuit.  But, now, after encountering this thread, the PMH, and TPU theory, I may have been very close to getting the thing to self oscillate.

Think of each primary as a 90 degree phase in a sine wave.  There are eight primary coils, so we have two cycles running about the periphery of the center coil.  These two cycles of a sinewave are twisting around the center coil forming a magnetic vortex.  In a normal solenoid the flux is passing through the core material in straight lines at a right angle to the electron flow in the wires.  What does a vortex do?  It accelerates flow.  By forming a magnetic vortex around a solenoid you are accelerating the flow of flux through the core material.  This is where the free energy is coming from.  The magnetic vortex is supercharging the center coil.  Wow, that was some epiphany!  I am going to wind up a new coil as soon as possible...

Hi Z.monkey,

Your message hase 2 parts.
The aligning the masters and their products with your assessment and next attaching experiences to the formulation. I could not have said that if I didn't know what I was talking about. It is one of the core thinking process of creativity.

You have stated the similarities and yes coils are it. Nothing new here. But also not complicated. Add Hendershot too.

Treat the tuned coils as tuning forks. Hook them in series, parallel, transformer combinations, circular. You got the where with all by your posts. If you think you were close before then kick youself now and get it over with. Press on. I used square waves to preclude using sine waves of higher voltages. When I first achieved the ringing between the pulses I leaned back and knew that I had the start of the reflective ringing.

I posted exactly what to do in my steps. There are other ways to get there. But at least get over the first hurdle. My efforts, for me, have been way cool. But one should not operate in a vaccuum.

--giantkiller. Think back about what you did. Strange scope shots are the key.
