The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[gn0stik]

It's been a "interesting thread
I just can't believe  you people allow yourselves to be suckered into wasting your time by this person(s).

This seems to be a great source of personal entertainment for him/them. I do have to give him credit for a great imagination. No doubt, if these talents are properly applied, He will become a good ficton writer some day.

You didn't see nothing...  Take a look at this:

Now that's a great source of personal entertainment!

Hey thanks for the link, there's some good info in there. Regardless of the spirit in which you posted it.

@Stefan: hey man, our threads are getting derailed quite frequently by these guys who would prefer to be derisive than contribute. Are you ok with that? (not you Kosh).

@Automan: What do you care if we're wasting our time? It's our time to waste. Go bother someone who's wasting OTHER people's time. Like politicians or something. What did you think? That you would just come here and disseminate your immense amount of conventional wisdom and we would all just snap out of it?
That you would personally come and save us from being deluded by hucksters? How self-important is that?
Ah forget it, I just need to ignore you and be done with it. Now YOUR wasting my time.

I agree, this thread has been derailed enough by that Automan, everything was going nicely until he wasted almost a day of our time and filled many pages of this thread with pointless 'arguements'.

Lets get back to the issues guys.

Onward to the goal gn0stik!!!

Alright then, After having read and re-read Beatty's pages, and diagrams etc., I have a pretty good idea how to build one of these things. However I have NO equipment with which to tune a coil, and to be frank, I'm a bit scared of this thing. I don't generally mess around with electronics that have a big "bite" to them, without significant safety assurances.. And this thing could chew my damn leg off if I'm not careful. Nevertheless I'm thinking that if we get some figures down for diameter, width, and number of turns, etc., that can help us build coils without tuning equipment, I will end up buying some wire, and going tongue in cheek with this thing, as long as I rig up a deadman switch that I can operate from a distance. I am, again, re-reading the amasci.com stuff, to solidify this stuff in my mind. I'm also checking out the papers he used a references, as those serve well as coroborative materials. (not that a UW professor has no credibility of his own)

Any way, here is the the C.F. Bohren Paper.

Bearden's web site had it for free, everywhere else, I had to log in, or buy it.

I've commented a couple. the white stuff next to the "heat sink" looks like simple peeled back material from the covering that covers the base of the device.

That is nothing interesting, peeled back material from the covering that covers the base of the device. To confirm this, look at the spot underneath the commented pic with the two large caps in it. There is some material cut away there as well. Now, the pic that you posted above of the two round things on top of the heatsink are interesting. The now look like they could be inductors. In previous pictures they just looked like notched disks, now the notches appear to be windings.

Yes, according to one of Steven's videos, he said on his first device with bailing wire, that the magnets "set up the frequency" of the device.
