A Kapanadze generator replication - Febuary 2013

[tika]

Hi,

I am now starting a machine based on the Kapanadze devices.

I have started this topic because the main Kapanadze topic, is just huge.  I feel its main focus is on theory, and while it is very interesting to read, it is not very practical for the builder, the information is too spread out. 

Basically this thread is a journal of my build.  Hopefully, it will work out OK.  There can of course be some theory discussion, but it should be limited to what is known or well understood in Febuary 2013.  The goal here is for the experimenter to have all the info he needs, to build a state of the art machine as of this date.  New threads like this one could be created in the future as the technology gets better understood, and better machines designed.

The stated goal of the Lithuania crew, and others, is to experiment and share their experience to make cheap, unlimited electrical power available to the greater number.  Their experiments are of great value, and they have done a tremendous job.  Now is the time to make use of their work and start building.

Now, a bit about me, my project, and why I want to harness this technology, by building this unit. 

I am an electronics technician,  and designer, although I have to admit most of the designs I've done in the last 25 years are in the digital domain, my training (yes, it was in the military) was in lamp-based electronics.  I live in France now, but am of Haïtian descent, and plan to move permanently there this summer, which bring us to my project.

The place I will be moving to is a small, isolated, fishing village called les Abricots, in the southernmost end of Haïti.  It is quite an isolated place, and  yes, very poor.  The energy situation there is quite bleak.  In the village itself, there is a 20kW diesel generator, which provides electricity to about 100 homes for 2 hours a day.  That's it.  But the rest of the island is not better off.  There is also 2 hours of electricity per day in the capital, Port au Prince.  Nightfall there is between 5:30 and 6:30 pm, depending on the season. 

My goal is twofold: 

A - Open a free energy hacker space. There are several technologies that can be of use there.
B - Give free workshops on FE technology This is the best way to spread the tech.  And a third world country is definitely the best place to do that.  Spreading of this technology in first world countries is bound to be slow, because there is already plentiful energy from the grid, existing equipment requirements, and an unfortunate general mistrust towards over-unity devices.

This is not a commercial endeavour, and I have support for this project from two local foundations.  As well as a great network in the haitian community in Canada and the US to help funding.

I do not have video equipment, but a friend will help me document the build.  In creole, french and english.

Any help and advice is appreciated, as, even if this is my build, this thread is meant to help others build working generators too.

This ends this introduction post.  The next few posts will expose the basics needed before construction begins, like,  documentation, videos and schemas, design considerations and decisions, parts lists, costs estimates (I will give pointers for sourcing, but no advertising).

The world is changing, one project at a time.

Basics.

This documentation is of course available elsewhere.  The purpose of this post is to establish doc for this build.

Let's limit this to 4 similar devices.  With 4 different coils.  This list is not exhaustive either, I may have missed other designs.  But to start designing I must limit my choice now. I chose these 4 because, apart from the coils, the electronics is basically the same, apart from the modulating component present in the SR193 device, but it looks likely that can be incorporated with any other coil.


Must see, even if you don't speak russian, as everything is there, and after seeing them two to three times, you'll get the hang on the experimenters' theories.  Anyways, the plans are there.  This is the best documented project, thanks to the work of the Lithuania team.

The SR193 2 transformers experiment, demonstrating the effect of injecting cold electricity to a load.  While this seems like a much easier coil to build, and the SR193 probably does work.  He did not want to share the entirety of his research, and said so, so there is something missing in his plans, hopefully not in the coil itself, but if it is there, it may be that the primary is a caduceus coil, which would make it similar to Fabrice André's device.

The Naudin coil, which did not work for Naudin, but some replications do seem to work.  This coil is an air coil, which makes it cheaper to build and makes parts procurement somewhat easier in a third world country.  It also seems very easy to build.

This device, presented by Fabrice Andre.  Now, FA says this coil is based on a 20+ year old Kapanadze patent.  That's great!  That would make the device marketable without commercial lawyers breathing down my neck (note: must to investigate).  Unfortunately, it calls for a tube of oxygen poor copper (< 5ppm).  I do not even know if I will be able to find and afford one in France, have to investigate.

Today I received 45mm ferrites ordered on eBay.  They are beautiful!  Well at least the ones that got here intact through the mail...

Crappy packaging.  It will take at least 2 weeks to clear this up.  I just hope I will not have to ship broken donuts half-way around the globe.  Minor setback.  Well, I guess that means I will not start with the SR193 coil.

I had found the very same ones SR193 used on his coil sold by an eBay seller in bulgaria they are 45x28x8mm M2000.  M2000 is the material name, unfortunately, they had only 16 in store (they are still there today).  I have also spent an entire day exchanging emails with a nice guy at a store in Moscow, they have a good stock of thicker ones, at a very nice price, but when time came to check-out, he realized they did not ship to France.

As I said before, no advertising in this thread, but if someone needs to get a hold of these sellers, just PM me.

So anyway, here is what I got for 50 euros.  Bummer

Cool, the Chinese seller will ship me 6 new ones, no problem.  I think they will be more careful packing them this time.

OK, before going forward with this, I will post a legal statement.

1 - This particular device has _very_ dangerous voltages present, which can definitely kill.  So don't try building it if you don't have a solid experience handling hazadous voltages.

2- If you are a minor, do not ever attempt working with electricity without the supervision of a competent adult.

3- You agree that me nor this website shall NOT be held responsible if anything happens to you while attempting to reproduce any of the experiments and constructions described in this thread.
