ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

[Leely]

There's a video I've seen,

what video

Well, Dave, I've realized that due to the changes Tito makes in his posts, you may not know the actual video that suites his device, but what I know is that a bifilar coil acts as a capacitor.

[d3x0r]

So many threads; someone insisted to read tesla's colorado spring notes.


Having absorbed most of them; skipped sept and skimmed oct; but basically....


The extra coil system is similar to dollard's LMD analog simulation; in theory developing very large capacity.
Apparently integrals of the speed of light are of use; not just having coils proportionate to each other...


I experimented with this; in theory one node imparts a slightly higher charge to the next... but in reality it's still a tightly coupled system, and the the whole network floats together in the same wave.


I made a sim with a AC source and a transformer with extra coils and capacitances, and tuned the frequency to get the best resonance in the extra coil chain; it was continuously increasing; allowing that the input source had unlimited amp.
I then modified the royer sim (easier to say; other than having to say it was easier to say) to have extra coils instead, and was really not able to get any more power represented in any part than the sum of the power input;

but; maybe the noting of integral units of wavelengths of light is somehow important?  so that really the frequency is limited to a certain scale...

The capacitance of the wire is always parallel to the inductance; so adding capacitors in series with each winding will not be effective other than to further limit the operating frequency of the coil... you can't remove it with series capacitance... you can just make it that much harder to charge the capacitance of the next winding by putting a capacitor in the way and so forth.

Like the diode-capacitor ladder charging circuit; the best operating mode is when all capacitors are the same... but each pull on each series capacitor is at 1/N of that capacitor so it's effecitve (the range it operates in) capacitance is much smaller.   you can actually diminish the capacitors along the chain... but to no greater effect, because that also limits the full capacitance that can be 'pulled' on the drive side.

So in the LMD; it does work as a distributed capacitance; such that the total  is really a parallel... and multiple parallel tanks are quite happy to be driven at the same frequency to a high level of power content... but they only get a very very small impulse in power; which limits the ability to pull from it to feed back that small pulse....

no matter how you slice it; the secondary's current flow is started, and is at a maximum, and then it is stopped.  It is slightly imparted a negative current; but mostly the forward emf of the secondary will still have been mostly forward... shotening the tail of the falling current diminishes the negative polarization of the secondary.

Tesla noted different colors of sparks, and sparks that didn't come from the lightning arresters (pointy cathode points) ... and I really wonder if he hadn't just flipped a polarity such that he ended up with a excessive negative potential on the terminals, which would not want to go from the round ball to the lightning arrestor... whereas if he drove the coil in the opposite polarity, it will be a excessive positive charge, which will draw from lightining arrestors.

Origin and early career [ Edit ]

John von Neumann was born into a Jewish banking family.  His father, the Royal Hungarian Government Max Neumann, was established on 1  July 1913 raised to the Hungarian nobility.  Even as a child showed John Neumann those above average intelligence, the later Nobel laureate himself - for example Eugene Paul Wigner - brought to marvel.  As a six year old he could divide eight-digit numbers in his head at high speed.  He had an extraordinary memory, for example, allowed him out precisely reproduce the contents page of a book after a quick glance.  Later he was able to memorize entire books and so shine like Goethe's Faust, for example, through detailed historical knowledge.  He visited Budapest in the humanistic German-speaking Lutheran high school , as well as simultaneously Eugene Paul Wigner .  Even as a schoolboy he was conspicuous by his mathematical achievements and 17 years old published his first mathematical paper.  However, the wishes of his parents following, he studied from 1921 to 1923 chemical engineering in Berlin and then until his diploma at the ETH Zurich .  His real interest, however, was always in mathematics, he devoted himself to a certain extent as a "hobby".  He attended since he was initially not allowed in Budapest (quota for Jews), mathematics courses of Hermann Weyl and George Pólya at ETH and made ​​soon attracted attention.  Von Neumann was from 1926 to 1929 (most recent) Associate Professor of the University of Berlin and 1929/1930 at the University of Hamburg.  In between, he worked 1926/1927 in Göttingen with David Hilbert together.

Von Neumann in the course catalogs of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin .  The first three excerpts are from the summer term of 1928, the fourth Section of the winter term of 1928 / 29th [1]

Early in his career as a mathematician engaged in von Neumann, among others, with the development of axiomatic set theory , for which he still took a new approach as a student (PhD in Budapest in 1926 when Leopold Fejér ), [2] and with the Hilbert's proof theory .  These themes were then the current research topic of the group to Hilbert in Göttingen, at that time one of the world centers of mathematics.  His definition of the ordinals is now a standard: A new ordinal number is defined by the amount of data already imported.  The period of his employment with mathematical logic ended with the announcement of by Gödel's incompleteness theorem , the Hilbert's program dealt a heavy blow.  Godel was later a close friend and colleague of von Neumann and Einstein in Princeton.
Work on quantum mechanics [ Edit ]

Von Neumann was also author of the first mathematically thoughtful book on quantum mechanics , in which he also the measurement process and the thermodynamics ( entropy definition density matrix treated) of quantum mechanics.  The then "hot" topic of the rapidly developing quantum mechanics was also the main reason why he chose the functional analysis turned and the theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces developed, more precisely that of unrestricted self-adjoint operators. [3] The mathematicians in Göttingen turned against the new quantum mechanics one that with the previously studied linear operators, the canonical commutation could not be met.  Von Neumann explained the same time and delivered numerous other contributions to this field.  When you however later Werner Heisenberg asked whether he was not grateful von Neumann therefore, he only the counter-question, where is the difference between restricted and unrestricted lie. [4] Von Neumann's book on quantum mechanics enjoyed such a reputation that even his " proof "of the impossibility of hidden variable theories, which was correct, but proceeded from false premises, has long been unquestioned.  The physicists preferred however to von Neumann's chagrin almost simultaneously published Principles of Quantum mechanics by Paul Dirac in which the mentioned mathematical problem by introducing distributions was bypassed, which were frowned upon by the mathematicians, first, before they even there in the late 1940s their triumph competed ( Laurent Schwartz ).

With Eugene Wigner published by Neumann 1928/29, a number of papers on the application of group theory in the atomic spectra.  Again, the enthusiasm of the physicist was subdued, there was even talk of "Gruppenpest" who tried wide shut in quantum mechanics on the part of mathematicians.

The Stone-von Neumann theorem expresses the uniqueness of the canonical commutators, for example, position and momentum operators in quantum mechanics, showing the equivalence of the two basic formulations of Schrödinger (wave function) and Heisenberg (matrices).

His work on quantum mechanics established his reputation in America - and not least in view of a change to better-paying positions in the U.S., he has been working so intensely with her.  In the autumn of 1929 he was appointed by Oswald Veblen invited to come to Princeton University in New Jersey and to give lectures about it, and he joined in the following years between Princeton and Germany.  From 1933 he worked at the newly established elite Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton as professor of mathematics.  Some of his colleagues were there Albert Einstein and Hermann Weyl .  As this also immigrated von Neumann after Hitler came to power permanently in the United States.
America, game theory and other [ Edit ]

John von Neumann provided in many areas of mathematics outstanding contributions.  As early as 1928 an essay by the mathematician had him Émile Borel via minimax properties to ideas that amounted later on one of his most original designs, the game theory .  1928 Von Neumann proved the min-max theorem for the existence of an optimal strategy in " zero sum ​​games ".  With the economist Oskar Morgenstern , he wrote in 1944 the book has become a classic, The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (3rd edition 1953), where the key to the economy generalization to n-person games is treated.  He thus became the founder of game theory, which he, however, less applies to classic games, as to everyday conflict and decision-making situations with imperfect knowledge of the intentions of the opponent (as in poker) [5] .  In economics, a seminar presentation in 1936 for the mathematical modeling of expanding economies is often cited. [6] In the second edition of The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (1947) Morgenstern presented and von Neumann the Von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility and made thus significant contributions to utility theory .

In the 1930s, von Neumann developed in a series of works by Francis Murray a theory of algebras of bounded operators in Hilbert spaces, the Jacques Dixmier later von Neumann algebras called.  These are now an active field of research (for example, Alain Connes , Vaughan FR Jones ), also - as von Neumann foresaw - has applications in physics, but less in quantum mechanics than in the quantum field theory and quantum statistics .  Von Neumann and Murray proved a Klassifikationstheorem for operator algebras as a direct sum of "factors" (with trivial center) of type I, II, III, each with subdivisions.

Operator algebras were part of his search for a generalization of the quantum mechanical formalism, because he said in a letter to Birkhoff in 1935, he would no longer believe in Hilbert spaces.  Further experiments in this direction were the investigation of the "lattice theory" ( theory of associations ), first as algebra of projection operators in Hilbert space (which was also Birkhoff was involved), and later as an extension of logic to " quantum logic interpreted ", and continuous geometries, but proved to be no progress towards operator algebras at the end.

Another field of work of the 1930s in Princeton was the famous Ergodenproblem in which it comes to the mathematical foundations of statistical mechanics in classical systems (equal distribution of orbits in phase space ).  Von Neumann these questions had already been treated by quantum mechanical side in Germany.  After Bernard Koopman had brought the problem in operator form, picked it up and gave von Neumann involuntarily a "duel" with the famous American mathematician George David Birkhoff .  As he later said he would have preferred a collaboration.

Von Neumann was both appreciated because he generously passed on his ideas and colleagues helped (with visits to Los Alamos, he was often surrounded by a cluster of scientists, the quick advice wanted), on the other hand, feared that he took up ideas quickly and own with breathtaking speed theories developed from it.
Manhattan Project and government advisors [ Edit ]

Von Neumann worked from 1943 at the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos.  He had been in previous years in the Army and Navy in demand as a consultant (Ballistikfragen of all kinds, shaped charges, operations research, fight against German magnetic mines, optimizing the effect of bombs with "oblique shock waves," etc.).  One of his main areas of work was because the theory of shock waves for supersonic flight was currently in the 50s and he used among other things for the development of explosive lenses for Implosionsmechanismus the plutonium bomb.  In this context, includes his development of the first numerical method for solving hyperbolic partial differential equations , the Monte Carlo method with Stanislaw Ulam , the von Neumann stability analysis as well as his pioneering work in computer architecture .  Incidentally, he optimized his expertise in the theory of shock waves during the Second World War and English air mines over Germany.  Even in the development of the U.S. nuclear bomb program up to the hydrogen bomb was involved from Neumann.

In addition to his mathematical achievements was von Neumann as a government adviser and politically influential.  Before the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan, he was a member of the Target Committee , which co-determined the exact targets of the bombs.  With the name of John von Neumann, the idea is supposed to be connected, the East-West confrontation by the explosion of a hydrogen bomb to end on an uninhabited Soviet territory, the Soviet Union keep them from developing their own bomb and permanently intimidate. [7] Whether U.S. President Eisenhower , however, was actually urged by von Neumann to such a step, is controversial.  But he was instrumental in helping to bring the military missile program of the U.S. on the way.
Work on the computer [ Edit ]

Von Neumann is considered one of the fathers of computer science.  According to him, was Von Neumann architecture named (also Von Neumann computer), a computer in which data and program binary coding in the same memory are.  The program itself can thus be changed during computation and be derogated from by conditional jump commands from the specified sequence of stored instructions.  It defines in loose analogy to the human brain (as he writes in the report) is a computer architecture from the control unit and arithmetic unit and a storage unit.  The commands are executed serially.  He described this principle in 1945 in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC .  The report was a discussion report with the ENIAC thought group and remained unpublished at first, but quickly circulated in scientific circles.  Virtually all modern computers are based on von Neumann's idea.

Von Neumann's role as the sole inventor of the eponymous modern computer architecture has been disputed and has long been the subject of controversy.  Today, the name stored-program computer (stored program computer) therefore is preferably used instead of von Neumann computer. [8] In particular, concerns the claims of the actual builder of the first tube computer ENIAC and its successor model EDVAC, John Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly of the Moore School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, with which von Neumann and Herman Goldstine worked together initially narrow. [9] Von Neumann came through a chance meeting on a train platform with the previously known him mathematician Goldstine in August 1944 to the computer developers of the Moore School where Goldstine liaison officer of the U.S. Army was. [10] As Goldstine reported, ended the run of his own free rapid spread of the EDVAC reports the close relationship between him and von Neumann to Eckert and Mauchly, [11] their contribution in the (not really for the general public) EDVAC report unappreciated saw and argued for significant parts of the Von Neumann computer priority claims made.  In Eckert and Mauchly patent considerations were at the forefront, which meant that they already 1946, the Moore School left to found his own company, and that led to a decade-long dispute in court later (they switched in 1945, patent lawyers are).  Von Neumann, however, initially saw a need for further research and development and entered for an open discussion and wide dissemination of the results a. [12] were parts of the concept independently from other computer pioneers - including Konrad Zuse in Germany - developed, including the idea of separation of memory and processor that still was purely mechanical Z1 in 1938 already in Zuse.  Zuse's early computers, which were designed for special tasks, but lacked the essential concept of conditional branch, although it was known to him and he in his Plankalkül used. [13] [14] Von Neumann sat down at the time vehemently for the further development of computing machines one.  The merits of von Neumann based in particular on the mathematization and scientific nature of computing machines.

Von Neumann finally ushered in 1949 at the Institute for Advanced Study is a private computer project, the IAS computer, in which he could realize his ideas, including many programming concepts.  Go to him subroutines with parameter passing by reference to a memory location, various methods for generating random numbers (including the mid-square method and the rejection method ) and the mergesort back.  He contributed significantly to the use of binary codes in the computer systems and advocated the use of flowcharts , where he is also a kind of assertions foresaw that as a precursor to loop invariants in Hoare-calculus can be viewed.  A close associate was Goldstine, whom he took over from the ENIAC group.  The reports from Princeton in 1949 he left to circulate freely, and soon computers have sprung up everywhere in the U.S. and England to these models.  Was used in the IAS computer and converted by von Neumann's ideas ENIAC especially for military calculations (ballistics).  Von Neumann to Princeton computer used but also for pioneering work in numerical weather prediction, as the first computer-based 24-hour weather forecast.

In 1953, he developed the theory of self-reproducing automata (Burks 1966 published as Theory of self Reproducing automata), for which he gave a complicated example (now much simpler result from the theory of cellular automata , for example, John Horton Conway's Game of Life ) .  Ideas for he is also playing with a building block game ( Tinkertoy ) have tried. [15] Science fiction writers, the colonization of our galaxy with such an automaton introduced and coined the name for this Von Neumann probes .
Findings and end [ Edit ]

About von Neumann circulated numerous anecdotes (some Halmos has collected in the references cited in the literature article).  For example, someone tried to test it with the following riddle: The endpoints of a segment s move with velocity v toward each other, a runner flits between the two endpoints with a speed w> v back and forth. What distance it travels? There is a simple and a more complicated solution method (summation of the sections).  Von Neumann, the response was fast and explained to demand to have summed the series -. Therefore he had chosen the difficult way, which meant no more time-consuming, however, for him [16]

Because of its ability to communicate complex issues quickly to dissect into simple questions and often supply from the state of a solution, as well as its strictly factual, any unnecessary dispute avoidant attitude was von Neumann like to get involved as a technical advisor (as of IBM , Standard Oil , RAND Corporation , among others ), so his name is a term used in numerous application areas.  For example, he published in 1952 the Von Neumann law that the temporal change in the size of cells two-dimensional foam describes.  For Standard Oil, he helped to develop methods to better exploit oil deposits.  His death averted a planned greater cooperation with IBM. [17] For the RAND Corporation, he turned to game theory to strategic thinking games, as well as at the same time other mathematicians such as John Nash and John Milnor .  In an unpublished work, 1953, he laid the principles of semiconductor laser dar. [18]

John von Neumann was a fun-loving and sociable person (nicknamed "Good Time Harry"), he was married twice (Mariette Kovesi and Klara Dan) and had a daughter (Marina).  His house in Princeton was the center of academic circles on the legendary Princeton parties.  Von Neumann also loved fast cars (Cadillac, Studebaker), his driving style but was feared because he quickly grew bored with calm traffic and then fell in absence of mind. [19] Even in the middle of a party he could say goodbye suddenly to a mathematical problem to think through.  His alcohol consumption was partially faked, as the child of a guest found even surprised.  Another aspect of the "entertainer" von Neumann was his inexhaustible reservoir often slippery jokes and his penchant for limericks .

Von Neumann died after an agonizing battle with cancer, which was possibly caused by his participation in nuclear tests in the Washington Walter Reed Army Medical Center .  A soldier kept guard outside the room, so that he (attacked the cancer in the end his brain at) delirious state secrets passed on.  Even on his deathbed he wrote to his book "The Abacus and the brain", in which he went about the specifics of the "Computers" in the human head.  He is considered one of the most brilliant and versatile mathematician of the 20th  Century.

Quote [ Edit ]

Von Neumann in a discussion with Jacob Bronowski 1943 in the study of bomb craters on aerial photos: [20]

"No, no, you see that not right.  Your visualisierender mind can not really see that.  You have to think abstractly.  What happens is that the first derivative vanishes identically and therefore that which is visible, is the trace of the second differential quotient. "

Bronowski says that he, the problem discussed rethought and confirmed late on the night of Neumann's view was on this advice, - when he told him the next morning, but asked him to von Neumann just ask him the next time as one for only to disturb von Neumann early hour, if he would be wrong, and not if he was right.
