toroid generator

[jimcreator]

dosn't this devise seem like a refinement on the Jacobs devise?

His was a coil contraption that built up a "residual charge" that could be used to light a bulb.

It looks to me like the coils store a high freqency charge and the secondaries are a conventional transformer tap.

I suspect the magnet fires the system up like a homopolar motor.

Jacobs needed a small battery in his system to kick start it and to keep the flow going.

I will bet that there is a battery in the toroid somewhere.

Jacobs used a modified dc electric motor to provide the "spark gap" for the high frequency circuit.

just my 2cts

Can you post a link to this jacob's device?

I don't recall reading about it anywhere.

I have looked and looked.
I remember it was 20 years ago or more.
the guy tried for a patent several times and went through a lot of hassle.
finally dropped out of sight.
I will keep looking.
the first time i remember seeing his machine it was a big slow rotating armeture in a 55 gallon drum.
he was on Jonny Carson and took an electric car on tour for a while that was powered by the machine.

Similar basis as David Hamel drum device. Hamel adds 2 more rotator layers to add harmonics. 3 layers.

Are you thinking of Joeseph Newman? He was on the Carson Show with an OU devise.
