Help with Ed Leedskalnin Riddle , any idea .

[T-1000]

     I don't know if this post belongs here but I will offer my lifelong experience with electric motors to help explain Ed's machine.

In order to understand what Ed was doing with generator, there is much simpler answer.

You need to combine few effects into one. Ed's same pole magnets tied together for sharp magnetic field in junction only and almost no field around http://www.alexpetty.com/2011/06/01/flux-flow-analysis-of-the-edward-leedskalnin-flywheel/ + PMH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvi5yBZfeFk with high voltage iron windings in generator mode what cause this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9k-iMjjsE (explained in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czXmazZ4obs ) + core around coil not coil around core www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB0UMhpOHXk (and in Ed's photo I showed earler)  + spark gap for shorting generator coil to load on peaks only (explained in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv7C7YOetDY#t=0h30m00s )

And question still remains: why conventional generators are still tied to 50/60Hz and have current generating coils not high voltage generating coils..? It is wrong from day one...

   The insulation systems inside high voltage alternators limit the amount of voltage they can produce.  This voltage is then transformed into high voltage for transmission.  High frequency ac has tremendous power losses in transmission due to the capacity of the lines.  Even at 60hz the lines selfinduction losses are considerable.  As you noted we need the voltage and not the current.  Tesla designed a distribution system while Westinghouse and Edison were waging the war of currents.  This entailed a spark gap, two transmission lines, motors and a local capacitor (if needed)  The whole transmission network represented a tuned resonant circuit.  When the spark gap fired, voltage from the scource flows unimpeded to the capcitor.  Meanwhile the motor generators comprising the inductance needed in a resonant circuit impede any current flow from the gap.  The transmission line whether it is a thousand miles long or a mile long is carrying no electronic current.  The capacitor is being step charged with DC high voltage impulses.  O to 20,000 volts per spark gap fire.  In the beginning his system had a return wire to the line capacitor.  After that he got rid of that wire and took the other side of the system capacitor and tied it to ground.  This left a one wire transmission line transmitting pure voltage to charge a capacitor thousands of miles away.  The inductive elements were shown as motors.  The motors then drove conventional alternators or generators or later took on the form of motionless dc generators and alternators.  Lighting was directly tied to the high voltage. Gas filled bulbs?  Capacitors were real expensive.  Miles of copper wire in a distribution system was a significant amount of capacitance.  If this wasnt in the local network then he needed a capacitor to store thousands of horsepower.  He made one and it is his bifilar wound pancake coil.  This is a capacitor rated at millions of volts and farads only limited by the mass of the coil.  No one bought into it.  They were busy making the present day grid.
The other side of his capacitor tied to ground because it represents a significant scource of charge. He once rated it in mfd and stated that the entire globe acted like a solid copper ball the size of a golf ball in as much as how much electrical capacity it had.  Not it's potential to transfer charge just the amount of charge you would need to fill it up to full capacity.

Hey Sparks  ;]

You seem so well read in Tesla. I have a question.

What do you believe is the most important discovery Tesla had found, in the book Colorado Springs Notes.

Thanks for that post ;]

N. Tesla knew about problems with long transmission lines so he designed wireless one. But we still not use that today.

And self running generators are always on high frequency and based on Lenz force redirection to do rotor push for second cycle in useful way. This is opposed to what engineers are fighting when designing generators and motors for hundred years...

How is this power scheme any different than 60hz mains that would help him cut coral blocks and levitate them?
Im still seeing the standard  magnetic field cutting a coil.
The box is held down which I assume is to keep it from jumping {high voltage?}. Also the chain seems to be held by a bolt connected to the box. If a Pmh is inside the box then its smaller than the one he shows to build and that means smaller coils also.  The size of the magnetic field covers the entire area of the box. If it is a Pmh coil  producing voltage/amps to the chain and to the Pmh that  may sit on top of the tripod, then the Pmh/coil on top of the tripod may have a larger voltage coil. Seeing how there is no visible return on the chain it may be connected to one coil of the Pmh on the tripod , with the other going out to another chain being the output. If so is this chain a monopole? I know bombarding a magnet with an extremely high voltage magnetic field will cause it to explode. Thats a lot of pressure.  An iron chain could store a lot more pressure than a mere small magnet.
Fwiw!
