The Gabriel Device, possible COP=8

@all
Because this was a cross section drawing, I'll assume the "iron core" is a toroid?  Did Tesla ever use toroids or is it actually a toroid?

Yup, its a toroid.

Hi folks, well I've been winding my small test setup.
It's a 2" diameter steel toroid.
Using 24 gauge magnet wire for inner secondary, one layer, then electrical tape layer.
Then two layers of 22 gauge steel enameled craft wire for primary ferromagnetic shell, then layer of electrical tape.
Now have to wind primary 24 gauge layer on primary shell.

Tyson, Where are you getting the steel wire from? I cant find it anywhere.

Hi Skywatcher123

Is that blue wire the going to be acting as your shell?
Correct me if im wrong, but I think the intent is for that "shielding" layer to conduct magnetism around the primary(up until the point of magnetic saturation).
If I were to guess, I would think that using another coil for that purpose will not work very well.

Even in Tesla's patent he is fairly clear about that:
"Upon this core is wound the secondary circuit or coil BB. This latter is then covered with a layer or layers of anealed and insullated iron wires CC, wound in direction at right angles to the said secondary core."
If all you have available for the shell/shield is that wire, I would think you might be better off winding it as Tesla suggests: around the ring rather then threading it.

Just my 2 cents,
You guys have me at the edge of my seat.  Cant wait to see how your experiments progress.

Very cool Skywatcher.  ;]

Just like teslas pat.    But ,  and im not sure it will make a difference, it looks like teslas drawing shows the iron wire for the shield as going around the toroid rather than looping through and around. But if it works, then we have little obstacles in the way of design, which is good. =]
Considering that as we have read here that if the shell were to be open a bit at the seam, we encounter regular transformer issues, well you wont have that horizontal seam , maybe some vertical ones that wont affect things.  ;]
