Help with Ed Leedskalnin Riddle , any idea .

[rcsquared]

All good info, thanks.

IotaYodi, I've not completed my own experiments with this idea as I'm in the process of another rebuild, but the field emanating from the top of the magnets at 90 deg to the ends of the magnets could be redirected towards a hidden pickup coil. One perhaps the length of the block of wood? One, say, the length of the long loosely wound coil on the wall?

My theory is that the long coil wound round the white paper(?) went into a hole cut through the entire block of wood. This might account for the wires attached at the points of swivel, no? And the metal(?) atop the ornamental iron arms(?) redirected the field emanating at 90 deg from the ends of the magnets to this coil.

Still, that box perplexes me. Was it's sole purpose to hold the chain?

In looking at the colorized image a few posts back, it appears that it is a small trafo or maybe just a core to pick up the flux... the chain is attached to it, and it is held down by a horizontal stick with wire wrapped to the tie down posts.  I remember seeing a similar shaped core on his wall of components...

Cheers,

please check out my latest video, is shows the nature of the energy Ed was using...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC2NKeGO0W8   my devices are based loosely on Eds design....david

hi rc,   do you energize your "generator" like a PMH?     also you might try the vermiculite to see if it creates this same effect.....can you tell me more about your build that magnetized the chain....i am very curious....david

Twinbeard, forgive my ignorance, I'm no electrician, but by "trafo" do you mean a transformer? What would the circuit look like? I can't see any visible signs of a connection. If that's a stack of steel I can see it contacting the bolt head, but that itself, looks insulated from the machine. Unless the chain itself was part of the overall circuit, but that seems an awfully dangerous place to be if all that chain is charged up. I know I am missing your point. Please clarify?

Also, which "core" are you referring to?

I know the color image gives the impression the chain is on top, but in one of my negative images, the chain seems to be held by a long rod that goes horizontally through one of the links and doesn't seem to be on top at all.

I've watched many of your videos, David and look forward to your latest. Your enthusiasm is quite refreshing and has re-energized me several times when I'd thought of giving up and many of your ideas have come in handy in my own experiments. Keep up the good work!

I've tried several means of energizing the wheel. The only one that gave me any results(and again I stress, the results were weak, but repeatable) was wrapping two legs of one pole together with 3 wraps of 144 winds each of some very small gauge wire. The numbers are chosen arbitrarily based loosely on some of the info at code144. This wrap magnetized a chain hanging over it just above the spinning handle. It did not magnetize the chain hanging in front unattached to anything nor any of the links even when the chain was in circuit with the one hanging overhead based on what I'd built. This was a direct connection to the bolt head with the speculation the iron bolt was collecting and redirecting the magnets into the chain. I've since abandoned that theory.

My next build is to test a new winding based on the last few entries in his Magnetic Current book. Most of the difficulty I have is in scale. I'll post pics of it disassembled if you are interested.
