@ Jenna
You said-
"I probably shouldn't be saying this (at my level of engineering experience  Cheesy ) but it makes sense to me. It is why I kept getting confused with Joe's comments. I see pulsed DC or AC in this bifilar wind.
As I see this 'coil body' (4) is setting up a moving charge in the copper wire which causes a magnetic field in the surrounding space which magnetizes the iron wire (read the compass at the very end of either iron wire) which in turn continues to stimulate the electric field in the copper wire and so on. The heavier iron stake maintains the magnetic something and is there as a repository for this induced magnetism. I think it kicks itself."


Here is the view i have when describing this in regard to your questions

1)" -I see pulsed DC or AC in this bifilar wind."  --I have strait dc normal in excess of .8 volts 800mv not pulsed . i have no leads from either copper or iron wire connected to each other so just two wires sitting there.. i take one end of the copper and put my + meter lead on it and i take one end of the steel and put my -  meter lead on it . There was no voltage present without the water .
So i dont understand how you see pulsed dc or ac in this bifilar wind please explain further where you are comming from. This is coil body 4 im refering to.  if i short the opposite two ends together then the meter reads nothing.

2)  The output comes from the secondary . there is no output when the leads of coil body 4 , Wires 5 and 6 are just sitting there open or if two of them are soldered together tested.

3)  when i take wires 5 and 6 and touch them to each other and pull apart quickly over and over.. on off on off  i get ac power readings voltage and amperage on the secondary coil .. so when you take wires 5 and 6 and make and break them you create a synchronous (the speed at which i made a broke the connection primary) disturbance in the secondary. Hence the freq of the ac output of the secondary coil.

Now you see why we need a timing mechanism to make and break wires 5 and 6 so as to be able to control the ac output. 


Ive tested and confirmed all the above results

Hopefully this helps.

Please think about editing your above post so folks dont get confused.

Water is a strong dielectric as far as i have read and it is due to its inherent dipole movement of the water molocule.  Check it out i googled and found most of those answers. and yes the Its some form of coumpound cell were getting there.. we just keep finding out more about stuff as we go along.

@ All
This will make my case a little more clear
Dielectric Material
A dielectric material is a substance that is a poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. If the flow of current between opposite electric charge poles is kept to a minimum while the electrostatic lines of flux are not impeded or interrupted, an electrostatic field can store energy. This property is useful in capacitors, especially at radio frequencies. Dielectric materials are also used in the construction of radio-frequency transmission lines.

I think that radio frequencie ranges of switching our primary coils on and off is where we will find the  SWEET SPOT for power output

In practice, most dielectric materials are solid. Examples include porcelain (ceramic), mica, glass, plastics, and the oxides of various metals. Some liquids and gases can serve as good dielectric materials. Dry air is an excellent dielectric, and is used in variable capacitors and some types of transmission lines. Distilled water is a fair dielectric. A vacuum is an exceptionally efficient dielectric.
Once again distilled water

This came from one of my Google searches

@ Sid..

So your saying you agree with me now that water is a good/fair dielectric.. before you stated it wasn't and thats wrong. I would like it if you removed that from the above post.  And yes distilled even better dielectric.. heres the governments answer kind of

@ All
From Wikipedia,
Radio frequency (RF) is a frequency or rate of oscillation within the range of about 3 Hz to 300 GHz. (60 Hz is standard in the US.)This range corresponds to frequency of alternating current electrical signals used to produce and detect radio waves. Since most of this range is beyond the vibration rate that most mechanical systems can respond to, RF usually refers to oscillations in electrical circuits or electromagnetic radiation.

Please everyone I'm not poofooing anyone's ideas about how to switch, if we switch mechanically we need to turn a small wheel with, ? 6 contact strips, at exactly 600 RPM to hit 60 Hz. AC mains type power. This puts us toward the lower end of the range.
Also remember that Tesla did a lot of his work at very high frequencies.
Hope I'm not going off the deep end. It's just that it take very little power to run a electrical oscillator.
