@electricme:

I'm sorry. I will go back and check for the message.  If, for some reason, I can't find it, feel free to send it again.  I look forward to seeing the program.  Thanks.

@ Joe:

Thanks for re-explaining your experiments.  I think I followed you the first time but, now it is more clear. (I need all the help I can get)  I agree about the secondaries.  They "should" produce nothing unless pulsed. (make/break)  I am going to read up more on pulsed dc as well as bifilar coils and transformers.  Do you think there is a better core material than iron?  I was thinking of trying ferrite.  Do you think a larger core would play a bigger role here?  There are so many variables I just don't know which way to go.

Hello joe,
Thankyou for admitting about your ADHD, it takes guts to front up and say so.

Yep having ADHD is a blessing, or curse, it just depends on how we cope with it.
I know all about ADHD, someone can talk to you about a topic and in 10seconds flatt have forgotten it.
I also have ADHD, was the dunce in the class, repeated grade 1 and grade 5 in primary school, didn't do any better in high school either.
If someone tells me their name, 10 seconds later it's as though I have never been told it.

For my final exam in HS I decided it wasn't all worth the effort, so I asked the teacherr for a A4 sheet and drew up a cutaway profile of  a terbo prop jet engine instead. The teacher just nooded at me, but several times he came back to me to see how I was doing.

Yep, I know exactly where folks are with ADHD, I was diagnosed when I was 50.
I don't mind folks know this, its as though I have a leg or hand missing, and I just take it in my stride.

I believe Tesla and Einsteign had this also, so we are in good company.

One thing about ADHD, is, the person suffering from it will excell in the profession they have taken up, they will be very very good at it, some people won't be able to work logically how they think or do things, but things get done their way.

For instance, I see no problems in having a diet of biscuits or lollies, we swap the topic at the slightest instant, we can have several projects going at any one time, nothing seems to get completed, but thats just us.

At my house, there is chaos big time, books piled  up in piles everywhere (another symptom) nothing is logical.
Both my cros are doing their thing in the kitchen, the wife is being looked after in another town as she is crook, the kids are all grown up and have their own lives, so I got the rain of the house, ha ha.

I take medication for this the morning, by now, well hmmmmm ha ha.

OK Joe, I betta hop off and get to town.
So there you have it, some times we go overboard but usually it takes a lot for a reaction.

So those who are reading this, have a ADHD search on the web and you will begin to know why we react the way we do.

This is way off 1st base so I'll better go while the going is good.
Got a 50klm trip to buy some milk and tukker.

@electricme:

I searched and did not find any message from you.  This may easily be my fault.  Please resend it and I will be happy to reply.  I agree with your post about the adhd.  Everyone has something they have to deal with.  I too have something that helps me to be very creative, but does not help me to fit into society easily.  I have suffered from anxiety attacks for almost 18 years.  The good news is that people with this that have the hardest time are very creative (which I would not trade for anything) the bad news is that it sucks.  I agree with the statement you made about coming out with it in the open.  As I said, we all have something and this is life so we have to deal with it.  I am not complaining.  Just sharing.  You all are good people and I like that about this site.

Bill

Thanks, unkle jim
I must say that I probably won't be buying a pc to run your program. I am sure others will use it.

You are such a hero for making it.

If I could find an older laptop for the price of that hand held o-scope (200) I might buy one but 595 at wallyworld is the cheapest and I just don't want to do it.

thank you,
jeanna

Jeanna the whole point of this invention is a solenoid coil that is self generating with a primary consisting of a bifilar coil arrangement. 

yes, I realize that

QuoteHow would the steaks and timing mechanism produce the same results?

They wouldn't I was just seeing that it could have been a precursor idea.

Quoteor the embodiment of the invention to be either or the battery or transmitter.

I don't understand what this means

QuoteThat statement i made is only applicable when using a meter set to amperage reading ,   The way it reads amperage is the current flow through the meter  so by touching that lead on and off i was making and breaking a circuit as well as reading amperage.  If i had done this on voltage it would have been useless as the voltage measurement function does not complete the circuit

.

I get zero when I do that. I have tried it with every coil I have made. Over time I have also tried every possible combination of wires to try this with in case I misunderstood you.

I get zero. no make and break. It sounds good, but I haven't been able to see it with my coils.
I am pretty sure I get the theory. --pretty sure.

thank you,
