Hi there Thane,
I'm watching this with interest!
Why the low power? Have you tried something like 25 > 50 watts yet?
Good work.

Regards,
Steven

IT'S A BITCH STEVEN - GETTING THE TURNS RIGHT, THE LOAD RIGHT, THE PRIMARY AIR GAP RIGHT (THERE IS AN ADJUSTABLE 1/8 " AIR GAP INSIDE THE PRIMARY COIL TO VARY RELUCTANCE) AND I AM USING 30 GAUGE WIRE FOR THE SECONDARY - MY PRIMARY CURRENT IS TOO HIGH - BUT IF I ADD TURNS MY OUTPUT GOES DOWN BECAUSE MY PRIMARY WIRE IS TOO SMALL AT 20 GAUGE (I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED IT 3 TIMES).

I WOUND, UNWOUND AND REWOUND THIS THING BY HAND OVER THE PAST 3 DAYS AND HAVE NOW (I THINK) I FOUND A BETTER WAY TO MAKE IT  SO I WILL START OVER WHEN I GET SOME MORE TOROIDS IN.

WHEN I GET SOMETHING THAT SHOWS PROMISE - I TRY TO BE SATISFIED FOR AT LEAST 1 DAY - SO THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

IT IS NOT NEAR PERFECT AND I THINK IT CAN BE MUCH BETTER STILL.
AND LAST OF ALL I DON'T TRUST THAT METER - BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE AT THE MOMENT.

MAYBE I'LL REWIND THE PRIMARY TOMORROW?
THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION.

Thane

Hi all,

Thane sent me an article a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't get small enough for the limit.  The article is now online:

http://www.canadianbusiness.com/innovation/article.jsp?content=20080611_72329_72329

At the top of the webpage...

"The next great Canadian idea: Peripiteia generator

From the July 21, 2008 issue of Canadian Business magazine"

OMG 75 pages and ....19.5 hours later, i have finally read the thread all the way thru! Very impressive  and informative.

Congrats to Thane for a great invention with much potential.... And you certainly get my vote for "Most Entertaining Inventor in a Mini-Series"  

The free energy world, like politics, has WAY too little humor in it

...And great work done by all the skilled replicators!

Something i was reading just the other day from Ed Leedskalnin's book "Magnetic Current" (http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_coralcastle2.htm) that struck me when i saw the new coaxial design of your coils:

Quote"To get more magnet out of a coil put the coil in steel or iron tube, then the tube outside the coil will be a magnet the same as the coil's core, but the magnet poles will be opposite. it means at the same coil end if the core end is North Pole the tube end will be South Pole. In this way you will get almost again as much magnet out of the coil and in the core and tube. You can do better yet, join one end of the coil's core end with the same metal, joining core with tube. make two holes in end of metal for the coil wire ends to go out, fasten a ring on top, now you have the most efficient electric magnet for lifting purposes. It wastes no magnets that come from your battery or dynamo."

Enjoyed the thread and wish i lived closer to O. U. (the university, not the naysayer   )

THANKS THERE JIBBGUY!

SOME PEOPLE PREFER A CENSORED THREAD (AMERICAN MEDIA/COVERT COMMUNIST STYLE) BUT I LIKE IT "RAW AND UNCUT" - JUST SEEMS MORE REAL TO ME - SO THANKS - GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME STEALING YOUR COAXIAL COIL OBSERVATION - I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY!

PEACE
Thane

CHECK PLEASE!!!

HERE IS THE DATA FOR OUR LATEST BI-TOROID PROTOTYPE
(It is the same design as previously employed but with a more efficient primary to secondary delivery.)

INPUT

10.34 volts
0.74 amps
Power Factor = 0.13
Power = 0.995 watts

OUTPUT ACROSS 100 ohm LOAD

14.14 volts
Power = 2.0 watts

Efficiency = 200.9%

I will be posting some photos once I return from Toronto.

Cheers
Thane

How aboot using two or three of these coils on the same wheel?
Anyway, Thane, unlike some other researchers on this forum I admire your tenacity, openness, and consistency in doing this.
And I sincerely hope you have found what it looks to be from these measurements. Too bad there's so much room for error still.
