First electrical power output from a Pyramid

[daityan]

hi nitinnun

have u made the guts of the pyramid? i started making mine out of cardboard on a steel frame, one feet high. let me know if you have started on the core of the pyramid. if yes then tel me which design ur using.

also is it essential for gypsum to be a part of the pyramid, if yes then i shud prolly give a coat of white lime on the cardboard.

gypsum is a compromise.
a compromise for a pyramid shaped pile of sand. which is what would work best.


i don't know of any easy way to get a pyramid shaped pile of sand to have a cavity in the middle and side, without falling a part.
so i chose the gypsum sideboard method.

You could build "double" walls with the gypsum board and then fill the cavity with sand.  I built a set of speakers this way once when in college and the dense sand allowed for a very full range of bass.  Filled, they weighed a ton but when moving time came, I just emptied the sand.

Just a thought.

i'm going to try this copper core.

i can do far better than this. but this should be in agreement with the "energy effects".


it is:

1 big copper loop.
1 smaller copper loop.

4 plastic bottle tops, to hold the copper loops apart.

1 CW coil (8 turns), wrapped around the big loop.
1 CCW coil (21 turns), wrapped around the big loop.
(both coils ONLY electrically touch graphite/small-loop)

1 graphite stick, bound by copper wire, to the small loop.
(graphite does NOT electrically touch big loop. only touches small loop)

1 wire, connecting the CW coil, to the graphite rod.

1  glass pan ($7), to hold the sand and saltwater.
(glass is made of sand. and sand is immune to saltwater corrosion)
(sand/saltwater, will touch loops and graphite)



the big copper loop, will be connected to the steel frame, by a wire.

the CCW coil, will be connected to the capacitor/multimeter/fan.

ohh k! luks neat dude! for starters this sounds great! any results, let me also start on the core. Let me know if you had any luck ?
