Curlitron

[PaulLowrance]

Philip Hardcastle has a very interesting "free energy" machine that could very well work. I've proposed a simple experiment that would cost maybe $2 in parts to test his theory -->

Philip welcomes everyone to work on the Curlitron. I've told Philip that I will open-source my design, but first I need to verify his claim by doing my $2 experiment. Philip claims that a low cost Curlitron device could produce massive amounts of power.

keep us posted with your experiments. thanks for sharing open sourced.

Thanks. It's Philip Hardcastle's baby, and I might do a simple experiment is all, but I'll post any update on it here.

On ur animation the electron comes back to the wire, why would it do so? I think it will just escape and reduce the charge on the wire so the amps will go down. Voltage my increase simultaneously but only the electron's velocity vector that is parallel to the wire will count in favor (red on the picure). If electron leaves in the direction opposite to the current flow we will have a loss.

Anyhow very interesting experiment. U have some good tools to measure it (me not really  :|).

Hi,

It takes a lot more energy for the electron to fully escape the metal surface. Some of the electrons will escape the metal surface, and will travel through the vacuum and eventually hit the vacuum wall, where a charge will build up and flow back to the original metal. Most electrons do not escape because as the electron ejects from the surface it leaves a hole, positive charge, and that positive charge draws the electron back. All the magnetic field is doing is redirecting the electrons kinetic energy (from ambient thermal energy) toward the left in the animation. So the end result after the electron comes back to the material is increased kinetic energy toward to left.
