Hello David ....I've just started hearing, reading about  this Leedskalnin guy,...as I'm fairly new to this site....I watched potheads video's...steps #1 through #5 or #4 I'm not sure .....the ones with the pieces of galv pipe cut , then squeezed into egg shapes,..then connected around some,..HDPE(whatever that is)?....he only attaches 4 pieces,...90degs. apart....but I noticed in the video that one of the pieces has a little coil around it....I think its' mentioned that he charges it ....once charged it retains a magnetic field??.....sorry I'm pretty far behind....shylo

Better late than never I suppose. 
Thanks for the kind words Sm0key.
Before I begin, here is a link to ALL Ed's writings.
I had a falling out with Leedskalnin.com, but the notes are there so print them out from there as they are photocopied from the originals.

BTW. I don't agree with anything on that site!!

@Sm0key, You found the asnwer (No1) to the "looking East"
It is a positional thing.
All Ed's experiments are written in real time as if you are actually doing everything as you read. Therefore you are standing in the South West and you are looking East. North is on your left as well as a wooden box and copper wire. The battery's neg terminal is in front of you and you will be tapping that terminal quite often.
You will also push a coil from West to East from the position you are in now, and the U magnets N pole is on the N side...on your left.
You see...all in real time!

Someone wrote about the moon coming down earlier......
Ans No2 "Those people who have been wondering why the moon does not come down all they have to do is to give the moon one- half of a turn so that the North end would be in South side, and South end in the North side, and then the moon would come down." Ed. L

MK1, here is some notes for you. Ans No3.
"Get a small paper box to
go in between the prongs of the U shape magnet, put iron filings in it. Wrap six-inch long soft iron wire with paper. put the wire in box in iron filings, now put the box between the U shape magnet prongs. Raise the wire up, then you will see filing strands clinging to the insulated iron wire. Raise the wire up slowly, then the filing strands will sag and fail, take the box out. put the wire in the filings again, raise up and you will see that the wire is no magnet. but during the time it was between the U shape magnet prongs it was a magnet. This shows that during the time the coil moves through the U shape magnet the coil becomes a magnet, but its function is double. Some individual North and South Pole magnets run through the coil's wire crosswise, and some run through the coil's wire lengthwise.

Maybe you think that it is not fair to use iron wire to demonstrate how magnetic currents are made, but I can tell you that if I do not use iron core in the coil I can make more of the magnetic currents with soft iron wire coil than I can with copper wire coil, so you see it is perfectly good to use iron wire to demonstrate how magnetic currents are made.You can do the same thing with the copper wire in using iron filings but only on a smaller scale."  Ed.

I have to break up my posts because when I get so far everything goes nuts???
Everytime I type a letter my cursor goes back to the start??? Then I have to scroll dow to type the next letter and I can't bold anything? If I make a shorter post everything is fine. 

Ans 4. Each pole is weaker in one hemisphere on Earth.
So if you drop 2 objects of the same mass in the Northern hemisphere and one of the masses is a magnet then the magnet will fall faster and its North pole will hit the ground first.
In the Southern hemisphere the North pole magnets can push up more, and the the South pole magnets cal pull up more than they can in the Northern hemisphere.

Mk1 here is Ans 5. "Now I will tell you what magnetic current is. Magnetic current is the same as electric current is a wrong expression. Really it is not one current, they are two currents, one current is composed of North Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams and the other is composed of South Pole individual magnets in concentrated streams, and they are running one stream against the other stream in whirling, screwlike fashion, and with high speed. One current alone if it be North Pole magnet current or South Pole magnet current it cannot run alone. To run one current will have to run against the other." Ed. L

Well my screen has gone nuts so this is the end?

@scotty 1

Welcome to this tread , i had my self problems in the tread , had to reinstall everything , now it seems to work ok .

I did read EDs book , agree with him , but not always on the interpretation ...

This tread is far from over ...

Glad you joined !

You see.
Electric current is a wrong expression.
It is not one current...THEY ARE 2 CURRENTS.
Those currents are magnetic currents.

The metal is not the real magnet....the real magnet is the substance that is circulating in the metal.
"Each particle in the substance is an individual magnet, and both North and South pole magnets." Ed. L

They are magnets to the observer, but only a "kind" to themselves.
They emit nothing.
They are the cosmic forces.

" We have North and South pole magnets, positive and negative electricity, protons, and electrons, positrons and mesons and alpha, beta and gamma rays. Now why such a confusion? Does nature really need so many things in the perpetual transformation of things, on building up the matter and again taking it into parts? I think all that nature needs is three things, the North and South pole magnets and the neutral particles.  Each kind of those three things can act differently with different speed and different combinations, and so they can accomplish different results. I believe the prospective physicists first should learn what magnets and electricity are, then they will have a sound base for their experiments and their calculations." Ed. L

"Every period of material life goes through two periods, construction and destruction period, but the life itself is indestructible, life has no beginning and no end. For instance when zinc in a battery is taken in parts by acid, the North and South pole magnets that held the zinc together, they leave the zinc and if right connections are made they will come out of the battery, then they can be used for other purposes........Now you can see when the zinc went dead those North and South pole magnets that held the zinc together they did not die but escaped and went some where else." Ed. L

The neutral particle is like a dead "thing" or "Body" or "carrier" different from the magnets themselves. The NP is like a particle of iron in its association with the magnets.....more or less? I can't actually see them....

The soft iron throws out the magnets, but they dam up in the hard steel.

During the time the coil is in the middle of the U magnet, the magnets themselves are POINTING across the wire and not running along it lengthways.

Each particle in the substance is an individual, and each individual can "POINT"
This raises a question. What do they look like?
We know they are individuals and they can point in a direction.
To change direction they must physically turn around, to angularly displace.
That is why Tesla could never get a perfect spark gap.
