Magtap: harvesting electricity from a magnet!

[Hel]

Lasersaber, I read your topic and I tried to replicate your experiment but
without success. See the PMH I built and used in the attached photo.
The core used is plain iron ø10mm. Unfortunately I had no more material
for the keeper so I simply used an iron horseshoe I previously made, but I
don't think it could make any difference, since both pieces adhere perfectly
and stay stuck well once energized. The µAmmeter I used is even more
sensible than yours since mine is 0-100 µA range. I also tried with the DMM
and the scope, sliding carefully to find a hot spot but I couldn't obtain the
even weakest deflection. I'm almost giving out.

Since I want believe you're not cheating us and you're actually reporting
a very interesting effect, I would strongly suggest you to investigate further
to understand the cause. Unfortunately I heard no more updates from you
or from any other people who could replicate the effect - just off topic posts.
The first thing I would do is reversing the coil polarity and check if the hot
spot keeps the original polarity or not. Then I would try substituting your
keeper with a flat one. Then removing it. May be you would be able to
measure something even with just the core without energy, coils and
keepers ? If it's real or rather some side effect, it has to be understood.
Hope to hear updates from you soon

Hi Hel,

My uAmmeter is actually a 0-500.  I have built many more of these and need to post an updated video.  I have been able to increase the effect by about double of what you saw in my last Magtap video.  Even at that I do not think you would see it on a 100 uA meter.  I know others have replicated the effect, it's just the amount of current is so low it's very easy to miss.

Yes I saw you ammeter is 0-500µA. But since mine has a shorter range, 0-100µA,
it IS more sensible. One ranging 0-1µA would even be ways moooore sensible.
Why you say the opposite ?

However, I again suggest you to follow a strong scientific approach. Please make
the tests I suggested ! Try to isolate the actual cause of that even little current.

Sorry, I guess it was too early in the morning for me.  Of coarse you are right.  I do not know what I was thinking.

I will continue to test the effect and share what I learn.  John Bedini has also tested the effect and seen the same thing.  He has some pretty good ideas as to what is causing it.

Ok. However I think it wouldn't be a so bad idea to at least measure the hot
spot with no magnetic field and no keeper to see if the current is still there or not.
I will stay tuned of course.
