don't forget with the current running arou your ver tically wound control coils, you also have a magnetic field running at 90 degrees to this which will be picked up by the collector loop, and converted to current.

you guys seem to be overlooking the most obvious & most plausable explanation about the exploding TV set......


LIGHTNING !


a direct hit on an outdoor antenna with a million volts & many thousands of amps COULD produce the same result .

I think you need to read the whole story. You'll realize that lightning had nothing to do with it.

So in many ways we have early RCA color TV engineers to thank for my discovery of the power generator. I am sure they are all dead now but they did contribute.
Perhaps a story which had impact on me at that time was told to me by my boss way back in 1970 I believe it was.
He told me that around 1965 or 66 there was an explosion in an apartment in Chicago. the authorities had concluded that for some unknown reason, a General Electric color television receiver had been the source of an explosion that killed a young black child in the apartment. My boss went on to relate that he was involved in the investigation because he was in Chicago at the time and he was  invaluably experienced with television circuits and etc.
He told us that what they found was, the TV had exploded with some quick furry. The explosion did in fact kill the poor child who was sitting directly in front but sparred his mother who was some distance away in the kitchen.
The explosion was strange because of the absence of expected chemicals necessary to create the explosion. It appeared that the TV was the exact center of the explosion, however no one could find a reason for the explosion occurring. Also consider that there is not really much inside a TV to explode with enough force to kill people and destroy the living room a large apartment. Yes a CRT can explode and kill someone, however this was not the kind of explosion we are talking about. The most interesting part of the story is that according to our boss, metallic objects especially those containing large amounts of iron were dramatically displaced. He mentioned that some nails were actually removed from the walls and pulled toward the TV set. When they found them they were bent and shaped like cork screws! Everything in the room appeared to have moved or was moving toward the TV as it exploded, or imploded as the case may be. The child was apparently killed by way of these metallic objects traveling through his body on their way toward the center of the TV set.
As far as  my boss knew,  there was never a good explanation for the occurrence. We found out that this was not the only unexplained explosion of TV sets worldwide. However, the fact that all the sets exploded while in operation may bear some light. Also most of the TV sets were made by the GE company or were TV sets made using GE circuits and of similar design.
However, this man who had been my mentor for so many years had his own theory which he never told anyone as far as i know, except me. His theory was that the TV while in operation, somehow managed to become a receiver of more then just television waves and so for a millisecond in time became a receiver and the discharger of a huge amount of electrical and magnetic energy. This discharge of magnetic energy is vary similar to the discharge of magnetic energy during an atomic explosion. . . Now that is something I have thought about a great deal.

Hi Dave,

But I noticed the build up would not rise and rise, it would stop at 40mV, so I assumed this to be mutual self induction.  But if we look back at the Hendershot device, if this small signal is then fed else where to larger coils which also do the same, perhaps a build up loop can start, or perhaps even have two symetrical halves and the signal can swing back and forth between the two.

For it to rise, it would have to be a resonant LC circuit, and you only had coils. And you had no feedback either, so it couldn't go anywhere from there.

Anyway, I think I need to have a look at the Hendershot device...

Regards,

Jacob

dave,

i don't think this will violate any laws, certainly not the 90 degree law.  i think by having two different diameters of looped wire you will only have different frequencies.  which means, maybe different vector potentials.  but both will hit the collector loop and generate a current.  maybe even create a power surge,"KICK", if tuned properly to resonate.

watch out for those 5's and 6's

dave,

for the gyyro to work you have to have a large mass spinning in the center.  i think we all have that with the large collector coil in the center.  all that is needed is to get a current flowing in that large mass and you have a magnetic current flowing with it to make the gyroscopic effect practical.
