I didn't call Bufon a hypnotist, I suggested the possibility. And the possibility of people suffering a rapid onset disease that affects cognitive function is real.

Here is all I see about the "demonstration" to the patent examiner. It certainly doesn't seem so simple as him saying that he observed the device "in operation" and producing more output than input energy.

Unfortunately I am unable to locate the English translations of the patents number 47406 and Patent number 47706. So if anyone could link those I will read them.

There are several possibilities.

1) The Engineer-Industrial Property Agent status of the examiner may not have qualified him to properly analyze the device.

2) He was paid.

3) The device outputs more power than input but not more energy.

4) The device shows more current output than current input but not more energy.

5) The device actually does output more energy than is input to the device by the operator and we will all soon have free energy for ever.

..

Anyway the proof is in the pudding and old patents will not power household appliances. To do that we need a real device.

Now if we look at the control setup with the commutator and resistor array, and plot a phase diagram we ought to be able to determine what the phase relationship between the south and north magnetization of the inducer coils is, then we ought to be able to emulate that and with the same type of inducer induced coil arrangement we should get the promised result.

Hi Farmhand:

Thanks for your detailed analysis.. I agree that people can suddenly lose their cognitive functions but that does not happen until the age 78 or so as I could recall. At age 68 for a working person suddenly losing cognitive functions is very difficult to happen. Neurodegenerative diseases do not show up very late. It is only now these subjects are still being researched. I have written patent applications for vaccines for many such diseases.

The modified figuera  device as described and built by me outputs more voltage and amperage than input amperage and voltage. That is all I have determined.  I would neither claim overunity nor claim it as free energy. And I believe that devices can be made to self sustain themselves. Most hydroelectric turbines use a small input power to generate a large output because the rotor is driven by the water force. This small exciting current can be and is taken from the output to run the turbine.

In a similar way a solar powered agricultural water pump can produce electricity by using micro water turbines which are then driving Low RPM alternators to produce a lot of power. That power can be used to charge batteries and provide lighting if we use a large battery bank to store that energy. If power from the alternator is given to this device the output power is going to be greater than the one originally supplied and more batteries can be charged which can then be inverted to useful power.

If you are talking about free energy, I would understand that nothing is free. If you want to stay healthy do a bit of walking, exercise, eat at proper times proper food and have proper sleep. So even to stay normally healthy we need to follow these practices. By that way these experiments have cost me a lot of money and time and it is certainly not free of investment and effort. The learning curve was not free. So nothing comes free without effort. By that view, the solar cells that produce electricity are not free to buy and install but are only converting energy that was being wasted in to useable power.  So essentially Free energy is energy that was hithertobefore wasted and now converted to useable energy. Regarding overunity, if you look at my posts I'm not really not competent to say any thing on the subject.

All I can share and have done is to share the results of my experiments. My experiments strongly indicate that so far the devices that have been built have not used the forces of magnetic attraction but forces of magnetic repulsion. When both these forces are used together to create useful output power, then what we can get as output voltage and amperage is greater than the input voltage and amperage.

Other assumptions are not scientific statements but mere assumptions on your part.  100 years back corruption was negligible not even heard of in most places of the world. The racial practices of the society were different. If you are from US, until very recently blacks were not even given the right to vote I believe. So do not assume things. People did not take bribes that easily in olden days..Society and its values were different. Figuera had a reputation to protect. Buforn as a Patent Attorney has maintained the patent at his own expense for several years. After that we do not know if he sold it out for a fee.  Unless there is something worthwhile, a Lawyer would not spend his own money.

But the strange thing about the Figuera device is this.. It uses both the forces of magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion again and again and again in the core to build more output power than the initial input. That modular approach combined with using both the forces of magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion again and again is what strikes me as highly innovative. And it avoids mechanical force totally.

Just name any other generator that does this today..To my limited knowledge there does not appear to be any such generator that uses both the forces of magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion. 

I believe for these reasons and for the reasons of my results that there is very significant potential in this concept and device. I just assisted the community with the results of my experiments so people can take it forward and keep it in the public domain.

I would appreciate if rather than theorizing any one would try to replicate the experiments very simple ones at that now that I have shared that I did with you all and verify if what I found was true or false..

Simply this is an amplifying transformer. Two step down transformers  acting as primary electromagnets set up in such a way that the opposite poles of the two are facing each other and in that place you place another secondary of many turns to step up the voltage. Then what you get is both amperage and voltage increase. In the step down transformers, amperage is increased and in the secondary between the two step down transformers voltage is increased. When all three secondaries are connected in series you get both a voltage and amperage increase. This is as simple as that.

NRamaswami,

I tried to figure things up from your view , from  many of your posts,
but your above statement were amazing/wonderfull/magic/..../.....   etc,   
I think, "That is not as simple as that".

can you post a "simple  drawing"?, at least with paint application.

NRamaswami


Can you look at picture and correct it ? Sorry, I used Paint to do that  We also need to know is that is one one single core (composed of iron rods) or there are 3 cores inside with gaps (as suggested by original patent) , and again the wire sizes, all information about construction repeated, sorry. It's very hard to guess from the word description.

OK,
is this your version of Figuera ?
