Thank you Hanon for this info it is greatly appreciated. you are a big asset to this community.  i have been busy ordering parts and supplies and will begin testing shortly. Boards will be here Tuesday evening so i will begin assembly on timing circuits. got a really good deal at Bay Area Circuits on a student board price of 30 Bucks each!
happy Figuering

Question is : did Figuera changed point of view completely or just improved device with rotating coils to become motionless without changing underlying principle ? For me the second is true.

I also believe the second is true. he emulated the Motional Induction Law in a motionless device
what is the deal with the adds? are the owner of this web site getting that greedy ...good god i have an ex wife i'll introduce you to.

Some very enlightening videos:

Lenz´s Law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x46bAPO24I   Why is there induction and no lenz effect in the last case?


Lorentz´s Force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kckxzBUxTHg   ... Some food for thought ...

How to optimize induction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Enr6_d3yU

After watching this last video I wonder if Figuera maybe placed the induced coil in between two groups of electromagnets oriented themselved in opposite way. Maybe this way each electromagnets induce just half wires of the coil, and both effects will add each other. Induction taking place as consecuence of flux cutting the wires of the coil (motional induction due to moving fields). 

Note that there are two opposite inducer fields, and just one induced field: therefore one inducer field should be free from them the Lenz effect. Am I right?

Hi,

This is what I meant: Using two parallel resistors in a simetrical way will get two complete simetrical waves.

With just one resistor the shape of one wave is conditioned to the remaining resistance in the resistor and, therefore, both waves won´t be never simetrical.

I think that maybe Figuera used two resistors for achieving a constant overall current all the time. Maybe for that reason he wrote in the patent that the resistor system was sketched is a simple way just to make easier its understanding.

Hanon:

I tried the two separate resistors you thought of with the following very encouraging results.

I know my secondary voltages are extremely low, but the improvement of using two resistors wired with eight even ohm pickups resulted in quite an improvement of performance. I believe my problem is mainly using mild steel instead of iron.
Time will tell!

Voltage across the secondary with one resistor = 1.6VAC.
Voltage across the secondary with two separate resistors = 2.4 VAC

My single resistor had a total of 42 ohms.
When I separated the two coils of resistance I found out that the last (PICTURE2) coil had a lot more resistance than the first coil. So I measured the same resistance numbers from the first coil and placed the pickups on the second coil to match the first. The company "Radio Shack" is getting rich from my purchases of jumper wires! I used about 2.7 ohms per pickup for a total of about 17 ohms per coil.

Also, when I tried the single resistor wired with eight even ohm pickups I believe the secondary voltage was only 1.4VAC.
I got 1.6VAC on the secondary when I wired the resistor with eight pickups following ohms taken off a drawing of a pure sign wave.

Percentage wise this is a large improvement.

Good luck to all,
