Electricity Amplification by Neo Magnet

[aether22]

The magnetic field more swiftly blowing out the spark makes sense of course, Harti is right of course.

But video 2 where for some reason alternating north/south amplifies the already amplified effect further is very interesting, that is just weird.

The best 'artifact' I can think of is that you are pulling the wire from the magnet in a different direction when trying the alternating setup, so try this.

Do a test where the arc and the magnetic field lines are paralle, in other words move the wire straight off the magnet facel. (single or alternating poll)
And then do a test off to the side where it is largely cutting across the lines.


Other ideas: have the arc off of a different conductive metal which is on the magnet such as using some aluminium foil over the magnet.

Try pulsing the other polarity instead, I forget which side you are currently doing.

Try without a magnet but see if you can quench the spark gap in some other way, doubt blowing will work but you never know.

I have observed only with attention the 2 video, from the minute 4 and 39 seconds I have read, through the function of stop of the player, the data from the multimeter and I have the data to drawing the curve. The rest is only exercise of simulation on a possible electric model.
Through the methods of the following approximations I have found how much energy produced the system... however don't seem me a lot of, sincerely.

I replicated your experiment and I think that the original effect is real. Even though it is very subjective the whole process, one can still perform it and see it and feel it.

It does definitely increase the voltage faster and to a higher level with more powerfull magnets. One needs a good chunck of current too. In my case I need above 2amps to achieve any sparks and higher increase of voltage above 80v.

The north/south pole also worked even better in my replication. Interesting stuff indeed.

Hi Fausto,
please try with 2 pencil graphite spark plugs in series,
so you have 2 arcs running in series.

Once I did it with my old Newman coil I registered just negative
current input.
The more sparkplugs one has in series, the lower will be the input current and
sometimes it also goes purely negative !
It seems the sparks somehow introduce more negative
currents into the circuit and free electrons from the sparking and
electrode burnup come into the circuit as new free electron conductors.

Hey guys

I tried this tonight with two big caps, a couple big neos, some 1N4007s and a microwave transformer. It looked promising till I tried charging one cap using this method, and using the other cap to power it. The most energy I could recover was about 1/4 of what was in the intial cap.

About the only interesting thing I got out of it was that both the 400V 220uF cap that I used earlier and the 8200uf 50V caps that I used to try to charge one with the other both charged to about 2 or 3V after a good short circuiting when they were charged using this method. Let me know if thats interesting, but I think I recall hearing somewhere that that is normal of electrolytics.
