Hubbard coil

[quarktoo]

A recent find for those interested in replicating.

I went to home depot and bought some 3/8 X 6" galvanized pipe nipples to use for cores on a replication and after lathing off the zinc and creating a thinner wall to reduce eddy currents and drilling out the centers I had a super nice coil form and core.

Here is the part that matters:
1. The pipe has zero permanence like hard steel does. I.e., it retains no magnetic charge.

2. It is attracted to a magnet better than flat sheet iron used in appliances even though the round surface only comes into a tiny bit of contact with the magnet.

Using the law of inverse squares between the wire and core, that little space that a plastic spool produces matters a bunch and the importance of the distance between the wire/cores core to core is noted in the notes.

As far as the resonance comment, that is BS. This is a rotating magnetic field concept and anyone that has bothered to look at the notes can see that. The outer 8 coils are wired in series parallel so they can only come up one at a time. I think Tesla may have used nine to produce a more 3D rotating space I.e., 3 coils moving through 3 stations.

The unexplained Faraday disk puzzle located near the bottom of this page:

may hold more of the answer to the puzzle than anything I have heard so far.

If you have a circuit with any combination of L, R or C and it is driven by an
oscillating driving voltage, then you will have a resonance issue.

This thread seems to have frozen itself about six months ago. Anyway, I've been lurking and following it through. My opinion is that too much speculation about the Hubbard design has gone one with nearly no reference to Joseph Cater's detailed description of a similar unit in his books (The Awesome Life Force is what I have). What I think is really important about Cater's comments is the distance between the coil turns, which he packs with iron powder, and the distance between layers of the secondary coil. He has goo arguments for this. I am going to try to replicate one of these in a few months and see where it leads. Cater, of course, never built one but he says if his instructions are followed carefully you should have success. He cites one or two apparent sloppy replications that were allegedly OU. I may have trouble finding thin iron sheet here in Indonesia (where everything rusts so quickly), but will try to do gold plating using brushed-on plating after the iron layer is in place, rather than trying to plate one side and mask the other in a plating tank. I'm trying to reason out what else might be plated on the iron to keep it from oxidation (assuming zinc galvanizing is not recommended). Nickel? Silver? Copper? What is wrong with zinc?

It is still on my watch list.

Hello all,
Is anyone still working on this project (or something similar)? I've ordered some materials to build a Hubbard 'type' device.
My thoughts on the Hubbard Coil: It was a SIMPLE divice with NO radioactive elements, just metal, wire and some plastic.
With that being said; If you wind wire around a piece of iron and then cut the iron into equal lengths without cutting the wire, you can see how a big long coil can be turned into many short coils where the wrappings alternate up and down each 'rod' AND keep the current moving (increasing) in the same direction (so that the magnetic fields combine). I visualize a sort of pumping effect here; two corkscrews twisting into each other comes to mind as well... Imagine four figure-eights so that the start of the coils tie to the end of the coils (in a moebius loop). This gives you an infinite (induction) loop. If you wrap it bifiliar and connect opposite ends you have two 'loops' AND you can also 'pinch' the current as well as 'push' it!! One wrapping not only inducts from the other wires on the same core, it also does so from the adjacent cores (more combining magnetic fields!) and (probably) a little from the ones at 90 degrees to those (which is at least half of them!). I think the 'push' (i.e. magnetic field coupling/current increase) would be more than the 'pinch' (i.e. loss/reduction of same)
It makes sense to me that the central winding is charged with INDUCTED power from the outer 8 coils (no/minimal power loss!).  The central core (and consequently the coil itself) has to be a little bigger (I think) because it needs a stronger magnetic field to keep the 'stray' potentials from 'leaving' the outer coils altogether. It seems to me that an added outer winding could give output as well. If an outer winding is used (needed?) then the inner and outer windings should be 1/4, 1/2, or full (wave) lengths of each other (Smith) to make oscillation easier (guessing here...?).
Shape relationships I believe are important. Those figure eights have sinusoidal waveforms built into them!
The trick is 'trapping' that 'flow' in those eight coils indefinitely. Leedskalnin's PMH anyone?!? Seems logical (to me) that the central core mass keeps the process together (speculation...). What to use for a core material? Crushed neos?? Anyways,  I'm looking forward to getting started and building something! Will post more when I have more to post.
Love the forum, keep up the research!!
