The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[mikestocks2006]

Some observations and thoughts so far may also be useful starting points.
From the video around minute 43-49

Some info to design by:
He measures: OD 6?  ID 4? Height 2?

He mentions a gyroscopic effect. Does that mean a rotating magnetic field effect?

It appears that the larger unit is already activated inside 43-49 minute portion of the video.

Around minute 46
He picks up the unit. NOTE moves the unit 90 deg off the horizontal plane and still works without noticeable loss of power on the light bulb (light glow appears steady for that orientation)
At around minute 46:25 he mentions no moving parts just a resonant coil.
He also places the unit with the same side down as he picked it up. I followed his thumb finger as a reference while the unit was always in his left hand.

The smaller one needs a single magnet placed towards the bottom apparently at a specific area?
He flips the smaller upside down to shut it down? at the end of that part of the demonstration

Up until minute 49:30 I could not see if he turned the larger one upside down.

What might be the significance of unit orientation? And how does that relate to DCV out?
Is the collector toroid open or closed? By collector toroid I mean the one that captures and resonates the ambient energy field what ever that field might be.

What happens if the collector toroid is rectified. ?( through a diode in series or external magnet use so the filed is only allowed to spin one way?) Then when the next wve comes it gets an extra ?push? and that may also explain the reving up/down sensation?

Assuming (maybe a big assumption) that the load coil(s) are only magnetically coupled to the collector toroid and the collector toroid is rectified, would that account for the DCV out on the load coils?

Regarding frequency, he definitely mentions 7.3 Hz and also mentions again the flipping upside down effect in this video. Only 4 mins long.

mrd10, thx for the mechanical parallels on tuning forks. I?m also thinking along the same lines.
ctglabs nice work on the site.

@Jacob,

Are you refering to the vector potential?  Sounds more plausible than coupling with perpendicular coils...

Dave,

My understanding is that the higher frequencies are simply used to rotate the magnetic field at just the right frequency so that the length of the collector coil(s) scanned by the rotating flux during a one second interval is a specific fractional wavelength of 7.X hz, at which point the collector somehow becomes resonant with the magnetic wave we desire to tap. And when this happens, the collector starts to do what its name implies: collecting (extra energy).

God bless,

Jacob

@Jacob,

If we look at a torroidal transformer, no magnetic field exists outside the core.  There is no magnetic field (B) in the region of the secondary coil.  Only the Vector A potential exists outside the core and this interacts with the secondary coil.  But if you  have a secondary at 90 degrees inside the zero B field region, it still won't couple.  It seems to obey the same law?



Dave.

Dave,

The collector must not be seen as a secondary winding. In this case, I think you have to look at it more in the context of this comment by Bill Beaty:

"Here's the interesting part. If we wish to receive power rather than signals, a critical issue arises.

Driving a tiny antenna with a large signal will create large currents and heat the antenna. Small antennas are inefficient when compared to half-wave dipoles. If we wish to maximize the virtual aperature of a really tiny antenna (e.g. make our 10KHz pie-plate coil act 10KM across,) we'll quickly be frustrated by wire heating. All the extra received energy will go into warming the copper. Possible solutions: use superconductor loops, or at low frequencies use the nearest equivalent to an AC-driven superconductor: a rotating permanent magnet or rotating capacitor plates. "

As for the field outside of the core, don't forget that this is air core. So by driving the control coils like in your video, there will be field lines in the center region of the toroid.

God bless,

Jacob

Ok,  I see what you are saying.

There is no direct coupling...   It just creates a condition which allows the collector to collect energy from outside the system, but more than that, suck it in, like the imploding TV set!

Dave.

Bingo!
