Stefan,

It's milliwatts. To be more precise, it's 1009mV * 0.27A = 272mW. The meter on the right is in the 10A setting.

Looking for a little advice - I've wound three cores, and I'm not getting the desired effect.  To test the cores I'm using a 14V supply that provides ~3.5A of current.

The cores are:

1" Ferrite Toroid     
Permeability = 2500,  B(sat) = 500 mT
NOS Arnold Engineering
OD: 1" (25mm)   ID: 0.64" (16mm)   Height: 0.32"  (8mm)
Material: ASTM P7070 ( TSF7070 ) power ferrite

I am using enamel coated magnet wire, 30awg.  Each time I fail, I wind another with more wire, the last wind, I used approximately 200 feet of wire (wound 25 feet x 8 strands and wired them in series afterward).

To test them I put a variety of neo magnets to the core, and pulse it from the supply - no dice so far.

Do you think its the cores, the winding strategy, the wire thickness or the supply voltage/current that is causing failure?  My first toroid was with two strands, then four, last one with eight strands.  I'm afraid I'm going to develop CWA (coil winders arthritis)!

When I connect the strands, I do them in the following fashion (assuming four strands, A being the start, B being the end)

1A - Input
1B - 2A
2B - 3A
3B - 4A
4B - Output

So the current is always flowing in the correct direction around the coil.

Any advice appreciated!

Are you allowing a gap between the coil and the magnet in your test? Everyone I see demonstrating how a magnet falls away from the coil is using something, a piece of wood or lucite to establish a gap

Paul,   

What was the outcome in his device.   Did he admit it was fake?

Bill

Actually, as far as I also am aware of, he did not admit anything 'obvious/clear' about this device.
To me, the psychology of this named 'Nikola Tesla's anagram guy remains mysterious.

He seems to be very proud of his intellect and lacking of any modesty (IMHO).

Anyway, thanks you guys for all your experiments, ideas, vids, pictures, etc...
This thread is just gorgeous.

No I am not - I hadnt thought that would be required - I'll give that a shot.
