@Bob,
where is the iron wire in your schematics in kicksv1.gif ?
Do you really think you can use copper Litz wire for this effect ?

@tao,
how would you generate your kicks and feedback them positively back ?

No iron wire at present. My understanding is that the effect occurs when a current first tries to flow in a wire. Using enamelled litz wire is an easy way of applying a current to many wires at once. I think there is going to have to be a fair amount of experimentation to get the kick unit right. I've got a car ignition coil set up to give me a high voltage pulse. Time is my only issue at the moment. Litz wire might prove to be too thin, could just burn up. I'm hoping the large bundle of parallel litz wire will prevent this. Otherwise I'll be moving to a higher gauge wire, and no doubt will try iron wire.

To start with I'm going to try and nail down an effective design for one kick unit and will use a spark plug with a magnet to blow out the spark as fast as possible. The spark plug being used as a diode. Once I have a measureable and consistent effect I'll move on to trying to eliminatie the spark plug. I'm hoping a fast enough pulse train will eliminate the need for diodes. (My schematic is based on this assumption. As Steven Mark doesn't seem to have used diodes in his earlier designs).

Bob - You're on the right track with the ignition coil and spark plug... and the disruptive discharge.

If I might interject here... what the disruptive discharge does is release plasma.  That's not going to run in wire - but you might catch it on a plate.

I don't think the Iron Wire had much to do with the effect, it was just convenient material at the time. Perhaps I'm wrong though, Iron would have the effect of retaining some of it's magnetic properties when charge was absent during pulses. This, in most applications would be undesirable. But in perhaps the "worst case scenario" applies to this as well. As Bob said we can try it both ways in the experiments. However, if it is beneficial, I doubt we'll see any benefits of it, until we've got some coils wound.

@ bob: Looks to me like your test setup is a modified tank circuit, nice use of the light bulb. I assume you plan on tuning your coil there, if so, how do you plan on getting your coil tuned to the same freq as your ingnition? Or does the coil symbol there represent your ignition coil?

In the aerial generator patent that I uploaded, iron wire was used around the magnets.  I believe it's purpose was to 'set up the frequency' between the on board magnets and with the magnetic field of the earth.  I gathered the idea that the device would not produce power unless iron wire was used in that part of the circuit...  Perhaps a small winding of iron wire around the magnets was being used in the TPU?
