Yes..that is Matt....we share a web site together...
Here is my latest addition to it

Hope you like it     You will need to turn up your volume...sorry about that.
Scotty!

Scotty,

Very interesting stuff on your website. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of descriptions however, especially about the video clips of your experiments.

Was there a magnet on the ruler in the clip showing intermittent lighting of the LED? What was the setup?

Do you have a schematic of your PMH, and of the induction experiment? Why was there an iron wire winding on the coil as well?

Regards,

Hi Scotty,

Thanks for the very interesting postings indeed. Got questions too:

1) Does the U shaped core of your PMH become perpetually magnetized after doing some tests with it? Would you check it? (I mean the U shape core may become kinda horseshoe magnet if the core is able to keep magnetism.)
2) This U shaped core is a normal soft iron rod?
3) The coils on the U shaped core are wound with normal enamelled copper wire, right? No iron wire on it?
4) Regarding your PMH: you close the U shaped core with the laminated keeper, then switch on the electric current with polarities shown in your picture, then you switch off the current and the keeper remains at the ends of the U shaped core, what is more the keeper needs outside mechanical energy to be separated from the U core?  Is that all correct I understand?

Maybe too many questions, sorry for that.

Regards
Gyula

Ok...with the Led on the ruler...the ruler was sitting on my PMH as it was running my motor....so no keeper..just an electromagnet pulsing alternately, but only slowly, maybe 3htz....
The schematic of the PMH is on our site....
My U bar is mild steel so it does retain magnetism, but it goes away if i leave it for a week or so.
Coils are 1500 turns of 16g copper enameled wire...
Once the keeper is locked on, yes, it needs much mechanical force to pull it off..if you pull it straight off...if you twist it, it takes less force of course.
When the magnets go in the PMH from the battery, then they start to orbit, and so long as the orbit is not broken, they will never stop. When the keeper is pulled off, those magnets which came out of the battery will come out of the coils and can be used for other purposes.....even after one year.....
The induction test is a trick i learn't......I've put up a drawing with the clip now!!!
you must remember that the magnets come out of a wire both above and below...if you have a conductor there.....magnets run better in iron than copper...
You see in that test i got 14v, but with a smaller coil arrangement i get less. This would mean with a bigger setup i could get more....
Whatever polarity of magnets you send out..the other kind is coming back to you.
It is similar to Tesla's transmitter....he said he could send a single polarity to the stepup  coil via the primary...When those few primary windings are pulsed then the magnets come out of each side of the wire and effectivley divide the secondary into 2 polarities...1/2 going to ground the other in the air...when divided in this way the magnets need a path for closure of the loop, and will gain pulling power as the opposite magnets come towards them...because the winding in your car coil is thin, the magnets cannot pass through with force, so they use speed to run in the wire....In the case of Tesla, the magnets must go around the Earth for closure, and did so with great speed.
470,000 kilometers per second......faster than light

Hi Scotty,

Thanks for your replies, especially for the drawing.

I have some more questions because I find your tests interesting:

1) Have you tried loading the 14V output DC voltage with a small incandescent torch lamp or any similar load? I am affraid of you are getting microampere currents only...  I mean loading the 14V both with the 9V supply + wave gen on and then off.  The best would be if you would pull out the 9V supply completely from the mains and then check for the loadability of the 14V.  I have often been tricked by the mains + earth leakage somehow...

2) Regarding the U bar, you say it retains magnetism and goes away only in a week or so: Doesn't it mean that you "simply" made a temporary horseshoe magnet from the mild steel U bar by switching on the current into the 2 x 1500 turns of copper wire and this explains why a mechanical force is needed for the locked keeper to separate? What is the "extra catch" here?

Many thanks again for sharing your findings.
