Infinity Coil

[z.monkey]

Howdy Y'all,

OK, another test bites the dust.  Using inferior surplus parts apparently isn't going to get the job done.  The Infinity Coil is producing some serious Back EMF.  How much I don't know yet.  It is clearly over 1000 Volts because I was using 1N4007 reverse protection diodes which are rated at 1000 Volts reverse bias.  So I am going to spec some new parts.  I am probably going to remove the resistors that are in series with the Back EMF suppressor diodes.  Also I think that these diodes are going to need to be rated at a much higher current rating.  I hate to waste the Back EMF but I need to protect the silicon drivers.  This means I need to use some really hardcore transistors, like power MOSFETs or power IGBTs.  This means more expense, something I didn't want to do.  The plan is to make the Infinity Transformer as cost effective as possible.

Now there has to be another answer.  When Alfred Hubbard made this transformer there were no silicon parts at all.  So the question is how did he modulate the transformer?  Well, nobody knows.  I am trying to figure that out.  One answer maybe a modulated relay which mechanically switches the current back and forth between the sides of the primary coil.  Or there might be a motorized commutator which switches the current between the primary coil sides.  I am going to meditate about it for a while.  Maybe it will come to me in a pipe dream.  Who knows, right now I am damn tired and kind of pissed off that every piece of silicon on my new board is blown...

I would like to start off saying nice work on the device.  I would like to ask a few questions.


1) Inductors can temporarily store electricity correct? Looking at what you have built is one big inductor that transfer the electricity in a circle creating a vortex.   My thoughts are, that the electricity you put in "sorta" jump starts the device and it keeps going pulling energy from somewhere else unknown. Am i correct?

2) Or its just simply a Over Unity transformer. Even so that would be a big step.


let me know if I'm sorta on the right track here.

Howdy Electrodiode,

Yeah, inductors do temporarily store energy in a magnetic field.  However as soon as you remove the charging force they will discharge.  Capacitors are the antithesis of inductors, so if you put an inductor and a capacitor in parallel, then apply an alternating voltage they will oscillate like in a tank (radio) circuit.  My original hypothesis that the Infinity Coil was a self sustaining inductor device proved to be false.  A system is needed.  You need a storage battery, a way to modulate the transformer, and a way to rectify and filter the output current to recharge the storage battery.  The basic idea was correct, but the original impetus was incorrect.  The refined ideas are getting closer, but there is still a lot of development to be done.  Like Edison said, "Invention is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration" was completely correct.  Research is the 1% where you come up with an idea.  Development is the other 99% where you turn the idea into a reality.  Development is a arduous process.  If you can make it through development the you have earned the rewards that should follow.

You are right about there needs to be electricity to perpetuate electricity.  You only need a spark to start, but with the right device it should perpetuate itself forever.  The trouble is building the right device.  An inductor, even a superinductor will not do it by itself.  It requires an efficient system which can correctly utilize feedback from the output and simplicity is key to reduce resistive losses.  This system requires the original impetus (the battery), a modulator, a super efficient inductor system, and a rectified filtered feedback system.  It is not just a simple thing.  It requires advanced physics and some help from things that we don't completely understand yet.  I believe that the unknowns conform to Soft Particle Physics, but then again I have yet to prove that.

At least I have seen some promising results today, even if it only lasted one second before all my semiconductors got vaporized.  The next test will go better...

so the plot get thicker lol. well keep up the good work.

A lot of people were blowing up their inverters with that circuit.. I think you just need a better inverter.
