The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[lancaIV]

Yes,it seems that there is a similance between
the Molina-Martinez device and the Meyer-Mace concept,
one is open and the other closed !
But this is a part of the MEG-study,Pasichinikyj included !

There is the choice to use e-magnets and or pm-magnets,
to introduce pulsed DC or AC.

Tesla's radiant energy is based on "disruptive discharge" and was based on disrupting the discharge of a spark across a gap.  He was extinguishing the spark.  The whole center was the spark.

Tesla used a spark gap because he didn't have nothing better to switch high voltages!
Not correct. There are a number of tesla patents that deal with achieving faster and faster switch rates e.g. opposite rotating contact wheels.
The main advantage of using a spark is the extremely FAST RISE-TIME of applying the voltage to the line.
One of THE essential requirement of achieving the desired radiant energy.
The second being that shorter and shorter impulse duration created different effects.
Hence the need to use different techniques to blow out the spark. Both magnets and hot air were used by Tesla.


He wrote about exploding or vaporizing wires when he discharged his capacitors into
thin pieces of wire. At the same time he noted a "tingling" effect resulting from the
experiment. He described that as tiny particles going out of the wires at right angles.

All the talk about stopping the spark was just to get shorter sparks.
Tesla wanted a higher repetition rate for the power discharge to study the effect.
So he needed to stop the spark quickly just to generate a new one. Nothing magic here!

NO. It is not just about generating new sparks.It is
a. Creating very fast rise time of applied voltage to the wire.
b. Creating very fast fall time as the voltage is removed from the wire.
c. Creating very short impulse times.
d. Ensuing no backrush of energy. (In modern terms - the reverse voltage breakdown level of the rectifier/diode was extremely high.)
e. Repetition of the impulses at regular intervals.

The 'magic' is that tesla realised a simple spark would meet ALL of these requirements.
Something that is still hard to beat with modern semiconductors.


He used thicker wire and higher power levels. The wire didn't explode anymore, but
that tingling sensation remained as Tesla previewed. And he noted about lamps turning
on when conected to the short piece of metal at the other side of the spark gap!

What you fail to mention is that from the spark gap to the primary was a large copper bus bar.
The lamp was connected across this copper bus bar, with the bus bar shorting the lamp.
The lamp still however lit.

On his Tesla coils he used just two turns of thick wire for the primary.
He wanted to KICK the wire to the very limit of explosion, but without exploding the wire!
That is the way he got his radiant energy generation! That energy was collected at the
secondary of his coils and amplified by resonance (standing waves).

So, have you ever seen a magnetizer in operation?
Remember those Mannix battery jumper cables?

They produce the same effect, high power suddenly running into the wires without exploding
them. The same happens in the tube filament Steven told us. Too much power and it burns.

I guess the magic is exactly this high power discharge (KICKS) into pieces of wire.
Edwin Gray collected that same energy released in the process.

What kind of energy is that?

Ed Grays Power Conversion Tube

According to Bedini, Ed Gray used copper mesh grids to collect radiant energy from the spark gap.

Important Experimental Results

A 1000V capacitor (CapA) is discharge across an **iron wire**. Making the connection causes sparks so I guess this counts as a spark gap.

I tried winding many collector air coils made of copper with different diameters. Only one end of the collector coil is connected to the +ve of a DIFFERENT 1000V capacitor (CapB) previously charged to 500V via a 500V charging circuit rigged from a camara flash unit.

With this set up:
1. I mesaured the voltage on CapB.
2. I would charge CapA and discharge across the iron wire.
3. I would repeat step 2, 10-20 times.
4. I then remeasure the voltage on CapB again.

This process was repeated for different diameters/ lengths of collector coil.
The collector coil being placed in many different positions - Iron wire placed inside the collector coil or collector coil placed in different positions around the iron wire.
Permanent magnets placed in different positions.

No change in voltage was noted in CapB with any of the coils. If anything a slight reduction in voltage.

I finally tried a spiral collector coil as per tesla secondary in his magnifying transmitter.
This had a definate affect on the voltage of the capacitor.
Sometimes it would be 1 volt higher, sometimes 1 volt lower. I sometimes get a string of reductions of say 0.5 volt each. And other times a string of increases of 0.5 volts.

There seems to be no consistency. I've tried placing magnets at different positions to try and get consistent increase or consistent decrease.

As yet no consistency. But a definate effect.

Conclusion

A flat spiral coil is known to be a good broadband receiver. Early radio enthusiansts (1940's) used flat spiral coils on the end of long radio receiving aerials to increase the receiving frequency bandwidth.

Either the spiral coil is being inducted with energy in the standard induction principle or it is a small manifestation of the kick. I am encouraged that non of my other non spiral coils had this affect.

If it is radiant energy I believe the spiral worked because of the changing diameter of the copper wire. It requires a certain circumference to grab the radiant energy is my guess which is why non of my other coils worked. (Unfortunately this same principle could be true, I think, for standard electromagnetic radiation).

Obviously the time taken to do each pulse limits getting the parameters correct and to eliminate affects caused by constant measuring of the voltage. Once I get the pulsing circuit going I'll be able to have an oscilloscope constantly attached and hopefully will be able to make further deductions.

Now need to get a capacitor based pulsing circuit going. And by good luck Penguin Hood has earlier said he'll be posting such a circuit....

By the way a pulsing automotive coil has too much ringing to be any good as a HV pulsing supply. Also you can't get the pulsing frequency up very high as the primary doesn't have chance to reach full voltage (Magnetic field has not fully expanded in primary coil). Nor can you control the pulse width.
