Hi MeltDown,

Could you show a color picture of a Home Depot magnet behaving like that? I mean not the sparks but how the magnet looks like.

Is it normal Neo with known cover layer like nickel etc? Or maybe Samarium-Cobalt type?

If there is no any other magnet type to behave like that then the only logical deduction would be the cover material of the earlier Home Depot magnet which did the trick?

Thanks,  Gyula

I still have two of the magnets and played with them not long ago and they still do that home depot effect. Here is info on the magnets:

They are ceramic NOT neo.

They measure 7/8"   X   3/8" X  1 7/8"

I always assumed a superconductor is really a super insulator since you can't pin a magnet to it but you can above it outside the field. I also assumed that what makes a superconductor work is that it allows protons to flow on that insulation barrier. Protons don't flow through a solid but do a gas or liquid.

This also lends credibility to my action at a distance requirement for a magnet. That a magnet or a magnetic field is a showering of particles smaller than an electron and can only be captured by another magnetic field.

It would only make sense that if we are moving part of a particle down a wire say an electron, then the proton it was once associated with has an attraction to it and so we have resistance. However, it the electrons and protons are both allowed to move along that insulating barrier, then resistance goes away.

I feel that there is a third way to eliminate resistance and that is with superluminal speed. My problem is how do I measure that? I think I can create it various ways but measuring it is the difficult part. My superluminal meter is back in time. :-)

Actually I think I know how build a probe that could measure it but am not going to disclose that until built and tested.

OK MELTDOWN!  creamic then     i got tonnes....   i hear you need hi voltage to cavatate a ceramic magnet...   with a spark ... 

you guys want some advanced SH!T!

lol

neos it is .....   lol

i am building a NEO core....  for my coils      TESLA STATES you can add 10 magnets in a stack after ten it fights aginst its self thus encouring losses ....  or lessing the effect....  of course there were no neos back then .of course there were no neos back then .. so this may be diffrent with neos...   not so sure yet

i bought square neos yesterday ....   20 of em ....   they are thin  1 " x  1" x 3/16 there bouts...

the coils will be biased to the core     pos and neg bifillar ....

i have designed many things wit neos tooooooooo!!!!!!!!   lol    you just aint seen them yet lol 

ist 

@IST: perhaps you could claim credit for a neo circuit,
if only you would post clear shcematics and details on that...
But since you never really do that, you only drop a few
words and we're supposed to magically form a clear picture
based on those extremely vague remarks of yours,
I think you're taking it a bit far to claim you've somehow
"discovered" a magnet spark increase effect.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't believe you've
done such experiments. I'm just saying that in order to
claim that you were the guy who "discovered" such an effect,
it would seem that you'd need to at least have explained and
described those experiments in detail. And I don't really
see that.

And what magnets was Tesla talking about?
I bet it wasn't neodymium ones... they didn't have those yet in his day.
That also seems to void any interpretation of Tesla's "no more than
10 magnets in a stack" in the context of using neodymium magnets.

The neo experiments I mentioned used nickel coated neos, the spark
jumped directly from the one nickel coated neo to the other.
If you have not used conductive magnets in your experiments yet,
you clearly have not performed exactly the same experiment.
What was yours then?
Did you stick two electrodes on two ceramic magnets and have them
spark?

What do you mean by your statement "the coils will be biased to the
core pos and neg bifilar"?
See, that's the type of vague statements I mean. Why don't you say
clearly]/i] and precisely what you mean? Can't be that difficult
to just spend a few more words to turn it into a coherent piece of text?

@Sparks: well actually the latest "cuprate" superconductor laminates
do not use direct electron exchange, but rather phonon coupling...
Or at least, that's what I've been reading about.

I have one of these magnets.  Did you just arc to it?  Voltage level?  AC, DC, or impulse?

Here is some history on that you are not going to read elsewhere:

I sent Perreault two magnets I got from home depot that increased a spark roughly 1000% when you spark a fence charger against the face of the magnet. I called it home depot effect. :-)

Subsequently, Perreault probably handed it off to this other guy who patented it as a superconductor and then Perreault posted the patent on his web site soon after. So I don't trust either one of them.

Home depot then changed magnet suppliers and I have never been able to find anymore that did this .

What it is or how it works nobody seems to know. I just know that it makes a 1/8" spark turn into an impressive 1" spark with a very loud bang.

These web sites are crawling with and often run by spooks.

how is the magnet polarized?  Through the large face or the side?
