Electricity Amplification by Neo Magnet

Hi gotoluc:

Thank you for this thread. It is most appreciated. Is there a way for you to check the magnets before and after, maybe even during. I am curious if their strength changes.

Thanks again. Take care,

Hi gotoluc:

Sorry; another request. I am wondering if you have any different results if you flip your magnet stack and coin assembly upside down and strike the coin at the top with the magnets on the bottom.

Thanks again.

Hey Luc,
Have you tried differing the number of magnets; 1 magnet, 2 magnets, 3, ...? If you have only 3 and want to try more, I have a bunch here you could borrow. I suggest always using the same one for striking against in case it is a chemical effect.

Hello folks,
A quick stab at it if I may, just some observations from the video and experiment. Nice work by the way, very clear and concise demonstration and question. My first observation is the comparison of the rest, unenergized, circuit with and without the magnet stack. Without the magnets the start voltage is 0.30 VDC and climbs at a certain rate with each break of the contact with the nickle. Notice the voltmeter right after the capacitor is discharged and before the magnets are brought into the circuit via the nickle, 0.30 VDC. What happens after the magnets are put into place? Evidence of coupling for sure. Voltage on the cap is now over 1.00 VDC before the first arc is drawn. Increased magnetic flux density in that coupling and then current flow, bang, higher delta-flux/delta-time and higher charge rate. It has been my experience that magnets in Alternating fields tend to loose their residual magnetic charge. Would definitely be good to know how long the mags last. Just a qwick guess. Nice job. Hope someone gets a scope in there for a peek..........Loki

Hi Luc,
many thanks for sharing.
Very interesting experiment and it reminds me
to my last Newman coil experiment I did.
I also wired parallel to the coil a bridge rectifier
the same way as you did and pulsed the coils the same
way as you did   just with
a wire and the BackEMF charged up quite a big 10.000 uF cap
very fast.

I guess the fact that , when you use the magnets
to draw the sparks you are breaking the circuit much faster
as the current is then much faster shut off in the coil and
thus you get a much higher BackEMF voltage which also
also charges up your cap much faster !

It is probably not related to the nickel coin,
but it is also related to the surface materials of your wire
and your magnets surface material.

So what kind of wire do you use there ?
Just a pure copper wire or is it soldered with solder-lead ?
What is the neodym magnet?s surface ?
Is it the standard nickel plating ?
2 far away dissimular metals work for probably the best.
So please try graphite on the magnet.
(Just take a graphite pencil as the electrode you brush the magnet with..)
So it depends how fast the spark is shut off.
Mr. Newman used in one og his motors
8 commutators is series to get the current shut off much faster, so he
could get much higher BackEMF voltages and thus more power output.

Also it will help, if you use much faster diodes, as this is RF frequencies.

And please be cuatious with your hands as 150 Volts on a 200 uF
cap can already kill you easily, especially, if your hands are wet..

Well done.
Regards, Stefan.
