Thane, have you guys ever tried automotive ignition coils for your experiments? High voltage and high current coils on a common core and extremely compact. Seems to be ideal.

This is an example for a great and constructive feedback (PB and OUman, please take notice)..

...DO LIKE I DO JUST DON'T READ HIS/HER SHIT.
UNLESS OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD JOKE OUT OF IT...

How do you know whether you can make a joke of it if you don't read it? Hmm, that's almost like getting more energy out than you put in...

In the setup I am currently building, I am using a 12V DC motor as a prime mover. The torque characteristics are more linear and no load power consumtion is less than 25W. If the setup works, I am expecting a drop in input current for the some output speed once the high voltage coils are connected. The other thing I would like to try is to connect the high voltage coils to a spark gap. If there is anything about the theory that the high voltage coils act like a capacitor, than a spark discharge (or a neon tube as per Newman) could be beneficial in selftuning the charge/discharge cylcle sweetspot.

Great that there's going to be another pair of hands on this!  Hoptoad's work was with DC motors, so his webpages may be a good resource if necessary.

Best of luck with your setup.

Hi, newbie here. I can't keep up with you geniuses but this is fascinating me ever since I heard about it. I'm an Ottawa resident. A demonstration for a layman like me would be kind of pointless, it's nice to know there's some brains in town. Makes me want to like, learn science and stuff.

Anyways, a few things...

One: it just took me two days just to skim through this thread, and I skipped pages 35-45. Ugh. You people are nuts.

Two. OUMan is acting shady. He posted up above here on "reply #1848" with questions. Fine, but then, judging by the dates of the posts, after Thane responded to 1. and 2., he editted his post ("« Last Edit: April 29, 2008, 11:39:50 AM by OUman »") which now mysteriously contains the section:

"3. I think if you contact Dr Habash you will find that he is not involved in any of these experiments and does not want to make any comment on them. If you doubt me, please go ahead and call him to verify this."

It seems interesting that nobody who answered his point 1. and 2. responded to this, so I just assume that he added it later. So, apply salt liberally when listening to him. Also, don't trust me. Because ratting out a spook is a classic way of gaining trust. It's not what I'm doing, but I damn well could be.

Three, the reason I wanted to post:
(EDIT: Please disregard the rest except as curiosity, I read further and it seems you've had success with the effect that negates my idea completely, it was based simply on your original youtube video mostly)

I'm not sure if you've identified what is causing the acceleration in the device yet, and I wanted to throw something out there. I've read about experiments where large discs spinning at high speeds managed to negate the effects of gravity in small amounts. Is there any possibility that the effect of the magnetic coupling, or aether stream or whatever is happening, is somehow magnifying some kind of effect that changes the mass or at least "effective mass" of the shaft or whats connected to it? Would a reduction of weight or mass connected to the shaft, with no change in input power cause this mysterious acceleration of the motor? I'm not sure if vince's earlier torque measurements would have discounted this.

Feel free to flame away at me if you think I'm here for some malign purpose. If I'm completely off base, that would make sense because I don't actually know what I'm talking about. But we are after all talking about an effect that isn't explained by the *known* laws of physics as we have found so far, so maybe mass/inertia is somehow being diddled by this strange electromagnetic contraption.

Cheers,
