The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[dean_mcgowan]

Another more natural way of creating the switching may be simply inducing a feedback loop in the circuit that has a natural phase cancellation thus opening and closing the loop allowing for the natural capacitance and voltage multiplication to self regulate. I thought this made sense when considering the system based on longitudinal waveforms. This diagram is crude but let me know what you think?

I have 2 small ring magnets wound seperately using a single steel wire and an iron core wound with copper wire.

The mass of the 2 seperate circuits is the same and I have brought into contact a small neodymium magnet to the copper wound iron core. Results .. inconclusive, too small a scale to make any validatable observations, though It did seem to be totally ineffective when the device was not in the upright position.

This is my interpretation of the system however I have deviated from the Steven Marks device as I considered that the copper winding is around the outside of the circuit, however this may only be an issue of semantics.

I put this forward as I am of the opinion that efforts may be being made on non essential components as often included/excluded in demonstrations and patents for such devices. I also accept this may be an over simplification of the device.

Awesome! welcome aboard Dean. BTW 130 is a bit above average 140 is borderline genius and Einstein is thought to have been somewhere in the 160s.

It seems to me that although ambitous, and perhaps oversimplified, you have attempted to start running before you have started walking. Our first goal is to find kicks and the correct frequencies. Using a spark gap before the coils is probably sufficient in your current set up to get a good rise time in your iron windings to be able to measure kicks. This should also create an elongated induction time in your secondaries as the relax times of the iron windings will be slow.

Once you see kicks, the small(time) but large(power) spikes that occur we have a start. This would be crawling.

As far as what is critical and what is not, the only part of the control circuitry that is critical is the switching. Everything else is, I'm assuming for pulsing the coils. The coil arrangement is critical, and we are relatively sure we have a grip on that. Tao and I have posted some information related to the arrangement of the coils, if you haven't already seen it. I can send you our information that led us to that conclusion if mannix doesn't mind, if you are seriously interested in participating. Although we had a bumpy start, this is productive.

We won't win the boston marathon any time soon, but unfortunately, we don't have the full body of information to work with.

We CAN learn something however. Something we can use toward the final product.

Understand Dean, that we fully realize that we may never get there. However, we are willing to give it a shot, and follow these leads as they may take us to unexpected places, and these concepts DO have merit.

I'm new to this forum but much read on Bedini devices.

The Bedini / Wagner type energisers in self oscillation mode when matched to their collection coils (Trifilar wound air coil) can drive various loads with an AC or rectified  to DC output. I have recently driven a UK 240v / 60W light bulb on a fully charged 12V pack of high quality / high capacity NICAD batteries for a considerable time in excess of the longest Steven Mark demo which was about 15mins. To be honest, I did not get the bulb to full brightness but this is because I just need to find the right coil configuration which is where I think a good deal of experimentation is required. Its basically a very simple minimum component inverter where the frequency can be altered to tune the system to lowest current and highest lamp brightness.

Its interesting to note that I found that a frequency of around 6KHz gave best power transfer on my simple test coil and of course is above audio range, so the device runs very quiet. I estimate that current draw for full brightness will be well under 10 Amps which can be delivered for the demo period from a small set of batteries that could be hidden within the toroid air coil. My energiser did get very hot on its rather small heatsink, so I'm not surprised that Steven kept checking his device during the demo.

I am not trying to discredit Stevens device, just point out that I think from my simple experiment that contrary to what comes across in the video, it is quite possible to run a 120V light bulb from a small set of quality batteries of the right type.

When choosing high voltage capacitors, you'll want capacitors that will take the stress of very high voltage rise times.

Check out Polypropylene capacitors. The bright yellow packaging is typical of HV polypropylene capacitors.
These can also be seen in one of the videos of the larger TPU.

I still have the concern here, to draw an analogy, that capacitors resistor etc.. are digital technoloy compared to analog, in the sense that you may view a capacitor as a means to quantify the effect in a time scale that is observable and hence measurable in the four dimension of space time. ie simply varying the juncture in my simplified diagram of the two circuits would both balance the mass and frequency of the circuit and hence afford tuning of the circuit. Applying the spark gap has merrit though it also is very hard to maintain a specific qualatitive amount of energy across the gap and could be more disruptive than productive in this paradigm.
