Does anyone have a setup running like Steorn's with dual magnets, one above the other? If the top magnet polarity is opposite of the bottom magnet, then that's a whole lot more cogging, but maybe that's why Steorn is using relays for the toroid current.

I agree that this could be a very important factor in any OU effect.
If you think of the field through the core as it approaches the center of the core, then it should only require about half the power to achieve the desired effect.

Yes it could and that opens another door!!!!!

  Thanks for taking the time to answer me it helps to know I'm not too far off from understanding this. It dose seem very exciting, could you clarify how that opens up "another door"?
   Any further explanation would be a great help to me.
   Thanks Pete

I was just reading on the Steorn Forum. Someone said that you could do a different experiment to see the addition of momentum. Put a magnet on a pendulum and put the toroid coil at the bottom (TDC) and see if the momentum is greater. Interesting? No?

Yup, we do now!   I built mine so I can easily change all the parameters to test.  Here's some pics of it so far.  It's not tuned, but so far there is no vibration and running very smooth.  Except of course that it's not hooked up right yet, lol...  I'll get to that tomorrow night after work I hope!

Great, now all we need is to test the machine for any excess energy so we'll know when a change is good or bad. 

BTW, lets say that a particular build is not cop>1, and a certain change increased it form say 40% to 80% efficiency. That is not necessarily a good thing! That might be increasing the efficiency, but it might also be decreasing the excess energy effect. So my only point is that it's good to explore various methods.

BTW, my 1st best guesstimate is that the dual magnets in the eOrobo design are opposite polarity.

Very good CP, very good.
