The Brnbrade Coil/Overunity?

[Earl]

Hi,

the sad truth is that it should be done both ways.
Sigh !  Isn't research into the unknown a bear?

@Earl

If this new build winds up being a dud, don't worry, I'll take it apart and redo another one. But do you have any basis for isolating the alu foil turns? Everything goes at this stage and there are many variables to consider but you have to start somewhere.

Has anyone tried windings different directions from one coil to another?

I've run into a slurr of terminology before where something meant one thing in the past and completely different now.

Example: Like handedness of coils on one form would be the same direction - likehandedness between two coil forms would mean they work together as in rotating opposite directions for least friction when touching, parallel and geared together. So the second coil would be wound the opposite direction.

That isn't what it means today.

On the cap charging - my suggestion for a reason is not the only reason. Hopefully yours are charging for the right reason!

Thanks.

When you try the unshorted foil I suggest you alternate the position of the aluminum gaps by 180 degrees and don't allow them to short to each other. That works in oscillators anyway 

If the Aluminum is acting as I suspect, thickness will be a factor that must be determined. You should probably try different cap values to find best action. The Cook coils would have had a fair amount of capacitance but probably far less than the caps we have on our benches.

What also could be tried is:

to cut the alufoil in the center of the layer , so you have
a real capacitor for this alulayer ( 2 foils beneath each other don?t touching)

Then you can also connect each foil layer part to thecircuit.

This is to a recent posting posting by EMdevices (in the TPU ENd Game- Thank you thread)
as it shows, that the coil will induce positive and negative charges in the alufoil,
but this way they are seperated and there could flow no current in the alulayer,
if there us a cut in the center...
