Observing the magnetic field in the empty space of the toroid.

Will filling a coke bottle with a mix of glycerine, water and very small iron filings allow this field to be seen in motion  when the bottle is placed in the center of the toroid ?

Ferrofluid should do nicely.......

Yes, That should work ok, I would use something a bit bigger, containerwise. Perhaps a small glass measuring bowl, so you could view it from above.

there are magnetic chemical stirring deals used quite commonely.

Hi Everyone,

I've been closely following this thread on and though I haven?t been posting, I have been actively working on understanding the device as well as testing some of the principles Steve and others have discussed. At the moment, I have acquired a nice digital oscilloscope, a 400W DC power supply and a function generator that goes into the MHz. Right now I'm making a homemade amplifier circuit to run square and sine waves through a bunch of different coils that I found and made myself to see how they respond.

I am also going to be testing the effect of permanent magnets on these coils. There were many posts on the subject so I thought I would put in my two cents worth. I mentioned this to Lindsay in a private e-mail a while ago but I have been doing research into permanent magnets to find a way to make a running permanent magnet motor. I wrote an article called the "90 Degree Rule Theory" here:

http://www.fdp.nu/free_energy.asp?book=90

In the article, I experimentally show how magnets can produce 'kicks' that are up to 100 times as powerful as the magnet itself when the field is quickly compressed and allowed to 'snap' back at 90 degrees to the pole
face.

I began thinking of how this principle may be employed in the Mark device and then it occurred to me that when he placed the magnet(s) in the device, they seemed to be at 90 degrees to the coils (particularly in his first device). Perhaps the kicks that the coil produce buck against the permanent magnet's field at 90 degrees which causes the magnet to 'kick' back only much much stronger! Keep in mind that this can only work if
the magnet is at 90 degrees to the coil. If it is placed directly on the end of the coil, it won't work. Now, I am still hypothesizing about this. I plan to do some simple experiments to see if this is in fact true but I thought I'd run the idea past you all to see
what you think.

God Bless,

The static kick comes when the high voltage potential is first applied across a wire (inductance) i.e. either before or as the magnetic field is starting to build. As the magnetic field builds around the wire, the effective resistance decreases and the current flow increases.

I have no idea whether the presence of the magnetic field would hinder the initial expansion of the magnetic field, and thus the current, and thus allow a more powerful static kick to materialise. It certainly sounds realistic and very worth testing out. I've made particular note to try out the 90 degree placement of the magnet. I had assumed an inline placement of the magnet. All good stuff.

I've been looking for a java applet which would allow multiple waves to be superpositioned. Ideally allowing square waves with multiple sin waves of any phase. No luck yet. If anyone else can find something like this, please post!

The nearest I've got so far is this, which allows 4 sine waves.
