Help with Ed Leedskalnin Riddle , any idea .

[david lambright]

Hey David. If I were you, I would try to develope it into something practical.
Many people may see "something" but to make something of it is something else....not trying to dis you or anything.

of course!..i wanted to let you know that matt [magnetic universe] has had one of my devices to examine for a while and both him and his son clearly observed the field radiated from my device. also TPU bruce had that same device and he, his wife and daughter clearly saw the exact same radiation. these devices with zero movement still radiate a visible field. many replicators have seen and FELT this energy field that i describe. it is NOT only an optical disruption, but an inertial change, kind of like a different axis? i am currently working on a prototype optical lens, without glass, using the optical distortion from a device as the lens. if you want, you could examine the device after jetijs, harvey and glen have a chance to test it. but you have a REAL Ed generator you dont really need to see mine, but the offer still stands. thank you for your interest, david

@ David, I've never gotten a 'locking' effect from any wiring wrap I've done. Has yours actually locked together? It should be easily testable by connecting the 'charge' wires to a small light or volt meter (neither of which I have at this time, although, I confess my interest is more in the engineering than in it's effects at this time).

My lack of results regarding a magnetic current locking things together, along with the necessity for the bolts and concrete have led me to consider that maybe it's not meant to be a pmh, but rather is a device that concentrates, separates, then gives off it's individual magnets.

Still, your wheel and what it's possibly doing is intriguing.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a few pics of my machine almost ready for reassembly. I hope any of you will feel free to tell me if I've missed something. Dimensions I can play with, but I am still having troubles identifying a few key components so I would greatly appreciate input from anyone who's been there. This is still a labor of love, but without these key components my theories wont come together. Thanks in advance!

Matt is pretty much an expert on the pmh. What he has related to me from his observations is the Amps are magnified but the voltage seems to stay the same. The resounding grunt when the keeper is removed with just an aa battery to charge it seems to verify it. With his 2 coil Ac like pmh he says there is a definite tingle to it. With the wheel setup having alternating polarity's as it turns that would be like ac just like a magneto. The wheel setup could be just that to produce high voltage pulses. That might mean a coil or transformer was interfaced with it to increase voltage. As a kid we had a tractor that used a magneto that was hand cranked to start it.

I see it as an input to a pmh type circuit setup.

I'm intrigued... If you don't mind my asking, how so? What part do you think is the pmh? The chain perhaps?

I realize the tedium a constant flow of freshmen must be to you who've been working this problem for years, and, lest I forget, I thank you all very much for the most valuable information you've shared in this post and others already. Many of your insights have helped to formulate my ideas.

I've read most of what I could find on Ed on this forum and many others, I've read his books and done and verified his experiments, and I believe I may have some ideas that seem a little different from the norm. So, my hope is that someone out there with a full size model that might be struggling with things like wiring would be willing to do a full size test, depending on my results.

One theory I've considered, but not tried yet(mostly due to scale as always) and the reason I've replicated the crankshaft and case, is an idea that I got from what appears to be a large amount of iron filings on the crank nodes which are normally quite shiny. If enough magnets were stored in the hardened iron crankshaft nodes, then perhaps they might set up four vertically moving magnetic fields in the cast iron crank case and perhaps the long paper(?) with the steel wire wrapped around it is an inductance coil that is inserted into a vertical hole at the back of the crankcase in the coral to capture that moving field? Just a theory... again I think you can easily spot my lack of knowledge.

All I have to go on is the pictures and videos I've seen on the internet and all of your ideas. I've not answered much so far, but I've only recently joined in this little mystery. I've read his books, done his experiments and verified what he described. I guess I am still an idiot because I still don't quite know what that wheel is capable of. I do wish my brain worked like a mathematician's, or even an engineer's, but I am just a tinkerer. I've got to put my hands on it, build it, to know it. Each failure has been a success.

What part do you think is the pmh? The chain perhaps?

The chain could be the first part of the circuit or the "block" if its iron,then to the chain then to a coil or transformer. He had coils hanging around the place. A coil in the loop could have already been "energized" by a car battery and these batteries have hundreds of amps. If the chain were 99.99% Iron its electrical conductivity is less than 16% compared to copper which is 100%. "Soft" iron which is a low carbon content steel, has a good collapsing magnetic field which induces voltage and amps into a coil. If you pulsed dc current with one polarity or direction the iron becomes permanently magnetized. After a while it would prevent any magnetic collapse that induces V/A into the coil. Alternating the polaritys keeps the collapse going and stops permanent magnetization. The wheel itself is alternating polaritys. I dont believe the wheel stayed rotating but only put charge in a circuit comprised of coils or transformers. Batteries may have even been in the loop. Im still thinking there are 2 coils and possibly a transformer in this circuit and possibly 2 batterys. One coil to externally energize from a battery and the other to keep the flow of "magnetic current" alternating which in turn would keep the magnetic field collapsing giving voltage and amps. A second battery may have been the "keeper" like in a Pmh to keep it going. I would think this second battery would be hooked to a coil or transformer. Just like in any circuit the design has to be thought out and things put in ^sequence with experimentation in order for it to work. He used basic conducting materiel's. If he didnt use a battery to initially charge it then a coil or transformer would be needed with the wheel. I think a major point is what he used as the "keeper" to keep the flow of energy going.
Just my thoughts on it.
