Testatika small machine testbed

@ Steve - the 608 is the No# on the bearing you can get these in a double roller and then use only 1 bearing in each hub .The thrust bearing is from a Dewalt drill (battry tourq control type )  thanks for the correction I should have thanked Pete so Thanks PETE   oh by the way do you have all the Albert hauser diagrams ?

oh by the way do you have all the Albert hauser diagrams ?

I think I do. Are you looking for them or one in particular? If it's just one then I can upload here. If more, then send me private email and I'll send you what I've got as an attachment. You can get my email address from my profile or at the bottom of any of my webpages.

@ Steve D - on your web site in the links to Watson"s-  Albert Huser is discribeing the Testanika 3kw machine and it says to see diagrams - I only see the parts list of the diagram. The other thing I have been looking into is the Layten jar capisators , on the Joerge R. link I noticed something interesting ( when Baumman opend the jayten capisator he had to retune it after he put the coil back on , this took a while )  In Joerge R.  did you notice the large coil in the first photo and the rest have small flat coils under looks like PVC caps. " the coil is more like a selonoid coil- quote from the link A.H. " this might mean the spring wound wire in the center is connected to a plunger in the center of the coil , so as to ossilate when tension is given from the spark gap ( the plunger will only move when tension is present and Q is reached then it releases due to the magpulse of the coil this happens in millieseconds ), this ossilation is giveing the freq. ossilation and acts like a pump in the jar to induce ion flow at the same time. something to ponder on.  in effect the perforated aluminim and copper sleves in the jar are the primary and the coil is the secondarie but instead of ( like in a flyback tranformer the gap is used backwards to the secondaie ) . I'll look around for a flyback and induse static voltage to the secondarie and see what happens , this can be done useing a auto coil or a good HV sourse with low amprage (ma's) so I don't burn it out.

See that attached, hauser.zip.

I remember reading this a year or so ago and have been wanting to find the reference again. Where did you read about Baumann openning the pot (Baumann's term for the two big cans) and retuning it?

In Joerge R.  did you notice the large coil in the first photo and the rest have small flat coils under looks like PVC caps. " the coil is more like a selonoid coil- quote from the link A.H.

I've always wondered if Hauser was speculating about the 3kW machine's pot's contents or if Baumann told or showed it to him. I wonder because Baumann said that "In the large capacitors there are 20 layers of perforated sheet". This is from the visit by 30 engineers.

Thank you Steve that was what i was looking for. I was meeting a collige last nite and met some folks form Finland and Norway they are in the finance biz , what was interesting ,I asked them about ever going the Methernika , Swiss and they said yes and knew about the testanika machine but didn't know anything about it but had the occasion to see it run. he also said that he would inquire for me and rely the info to my collieg. It seams that he does biz with the group and was very nice in being open about the subject. I also explained my position on the machine that I was only interested in building one and was not in it to make money or give the information out , I strongly feel that this is their property and will not infrindge on thir kindness.
