Source of energy, Testatika

[Shanti]

I believe Baumann died a year ago, so unless he passed the secret on we may never know how the testatika worked.

Yes. And I also think, if what the different visitors said is true, then there's now probably no one anymore who knows details about the machine.


But if anyone is ever able to replicate it, and I have no doubt that this will be done (maybe in the distant future... ), then we will know how it worked. But until then...

There is another possibility that Baumann discovered something similar to Louis Rota (wikirota.org/en). Rota claimed to have discovered an energy in the earth similar to earth currents which he called "universal currents". They are similar to electric current except they will decompose metals. There over 361 of these different currents and groups of them flow in the earth's crust.
According to Rota each metal consists of a group of universal currents locked together, so for example copper consists of four universal currents locked together and iron seven or eight different currents.
If any metal is put in contact with one its component currents by for example burying it in an area in which the current exist, the metal will slowly dissolve yielding all its component currents as a group. These released currents can be in high or low potential depending on the metal but can yield enormous energy.
I was involved i digging up a Rota block in France many years ago and a lot of what was found is on the wikirota site.
To some up, there appears to be another way in which metals can be disintegrated yielding energy.
High voltages appear to be the way of starting the process of dissolving metal into universal current rather than the nuclear form we are used to.

Looking at this picture http://rimstar.org/sdenergy/testa/misc/testabig.jpg I wonder if the grilles are
a) wire meshes
b) perforated metal sheets

Maybe it's relevant which one of these are used. It actually looks quite hard to determine, if they are of type (a) or (b), despite the large picture. In my opinion it looks like b), what do you think?

If it b) I wonder which shops (in Europe) sell metal sheets with such small quadratic holes. Most of the shops I found have a smallest hole size of 4mm...

I had an enlightening idea lately. I bet most of you know the electrostatic disc motor powered by the laws of attraction / repulsion. The self-running small Testatika also is based on that, if I recall correctly.

Now you can discharge voltage against each others pole and transform this impulse to a little bit more amperage with a default transformer. Now, instead of transforming the impulses downwards - what if one would transform the voltage UPWARDS? Wouldn't this create even higher potential than before?

Now let's continue the thought experiment and recall that the Testatika disc has no direct brush contacts, but is still able to pick up energy. 2 brushes are for "picking up the energy" and 2-4 other brushes most likely to drive the disc.

After the first rotation the picked up potential will be too less for anything, even after transforming up the voltage, but a couple of rotations could reach that goal. This would also explain, why the small Testatika needs to be rotated by hand a couple of times: simply to build up enough potential difference to get the disc started. Once a certain potential is reached it would continue rotating by itself. Certainly the device would lose some of it's potential because of the environment, but by using the transformer to put the voltage up it can produce enough to keep the required potential difference for spinning the disc, including some excess potential. The transformed potential difference is always higher than the one on the disc - which results in the disc rotating faster and faster. This also matches with Baumann's statement that it would rotate faster and faster.

The rectifier diode on top of the machine can be a simple arrangement which simply discharges 2 poles against each other at a certain distance if a potential high enough is reached, nothing else (and can be ignored for the experiment).

So far the theory, what do you think about it?

(This would not explain the wattage it produces, but maybe how it entirely self-runs)

I met Stefan Marinov several times in the early nineties and got to know him quite well. As you know he was certain that overunity exists and did several experiments to try to prove it.
He told me that when he visited Methernita and was allowed to play with the small testatika he could start it by spinning the disk and the disk offered a slight resistance to a finger before finally stalling. Marinov said to Baumann and Bossard that they had discovered a free energy perpetual motion machine, to which Baumann replied "but perpetual motion is impossible" or words to that effect.
Marinov knew his physics, he was, at one time, an assistant professor of physics in the universtiy of Graz (?).
Marinov's final experiment on the "Ampere Bridge" a version of which he thought was overunity was proven by his friend Prof. Pappas not to be overunity, that is,  the electromagnetic field is conserved. This sees to have been a major contribution  to Marinov's suicide.
