Re-Inventing The Wheel-Part1-Clemente_Figuera-THE INFINITE ENERGY MACHINE

About the patent with the moving coil (patent No. 30376):

As you know I think that a wire placed between TWO POLES may create amplification. And it could be the principle used in that patent.

If not, look into the speaker diagram that I attach below.

A speaker is a kind of motor (a current is used to create motion in the cone). But perhaps you may also configure it as a generator: modulating the two magnetic fields in order to create a much amplified current in the center coil. This could be the principle used in the static patent.

Just some food for thought

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. Sorry the video was such poor quality.

I wanted to point out some things that make the Figuera gen. different from normal devices. most of this I realized after playing with a variable resistor.
First of all, the commutator acts as a current splitter. No matter what position it's in, the DC current consumed by the entire device is always the same. Secondly, even though the coils are arranged to oppose each other, according to Lenz's law, when one is decreasing, and the other is increasing, they both produce a current that moves in the same direction, in a mutually coupled inductor. Thirdly, if a constant DC current is applied to the commutator, but the commutator isn't moving, no output is created. This means, for 100% input power, we have 0% output power. According to Faraday's laws of induction, if I spin the commutator at 1 RPM, an output current is produced according to the rate of change. Therefore, if I spin the commutator at 100 RPM, the output current will be 100 times more powerful than at 1 RPM for the same amount of power in.

Now, this is just food for thought until I or someone else makes a complete replication, but the main difference between this and an AC transformer is that, no matter the rate of change, that is the commutator switching, the voltage and current are always in phase. What that means- Faraday's law doesn't apply to AC through a transformer. Say that I have a transformer of a certain value, designed to operate at 60HZ. Being properly designed, I can have an output power near 100%. Okay, so, according to Faraday, if I double the frequency to 120HZ, I can have twice the power out, right? But no. The "resistance" of the inductor increases with frequency. Doubling the frequency will drop the output to 50% power. This happens because an AC voltage across an inductor will always cause the current to lag.

The question is, can this produce more power out than in. If anyone's interested, I'd like to share something I've been working on. The picture I included is a general rectifier circuit. We know that when the capacitor is fully charged, it will draw little current from the AC source to maintain it's charge. With a load attached, the capacitor will charge and discharge at a certain rate, determined by the capacitor size, load resistance, and voltage and current of the AC supply.

In the second image, Lenz's law states that an increasing and decreasing current in an inductor will produce a voltage that opposes the change. So, in place the load resistor, I added the primary of a transformer. As a warning in case anyone wants to try this, remember that a DC voltage only sees the resistance of the inductor- THERE IS NO AC IMPEDANCE TO LIMIT CURRENT. So, applying 120V DC to a 120V transformer will probably light it on fire. I did the experiment with line voltage, and a 40W bulb in series with the transformer to limit current.

The transformer output is very low, because it's determined by the charge and discharge rate of the capacitor. Now the interesting thing is that Faraday's law DOES apply. If you carry out this experiment, with a full wave rectifier like the image, you'll see a voltage output on the transformer. However, if you switch the rectifier with a single diode, you'll see twice the output voltage on the transformer. but you're decreasing the power input by half. This is because cutting the power by half increases the rate of current change through the inductor. Using a MOT transformer, a single diode, a MOT cap. rated at .0f mfd., and a 40W bulb acting as a ballast resistor, I had enough output power to light a 12in. fluorescent bulb, and it only increased the line current by 1 watt. If anyone's interested I can draw out a schematic, or take photos or video of the setup, but for now I'm going to try increasing the power out.

I have found more information related to the Ferranti-Thomson alternator unbelievable efficiency! However, I have not been able to locate the Thomson and Ferranti's patents related to this device.

I am attaching a color photo of this device. The air gap for this device was made adjustable.

Thanks,

Hey guys, made some new videos.
This first one just shows how much power is wasted when a magnetic field has to be created in a transformer. http://youtu.be/iauWEdb5LFc
The second actually shows the operation of the included schematic. http://youtu.be/BFUHg3NTR0c Sorry that I can be so long-winded.  Thanks.

@ Bajac, that's an amazing device. I wonder... because it has no steel rotor, I wonder how much electrical watts can actually come out of 1 horsepower...

Hi all,

Madddann posted on the 25th of March a schematic to generate the two signals. I think it is useful to post it again to refresh our memories.

Basically it was based on created two opposite AC signals with a center-tapped transformer and adding to those signals a DC bias (by rectifying AC with a diode bridge)

Thanks Madddann for your circuit!!
