The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

[raburgeson]

I am trying to find a 1920s book on inductors and transformer design. I believe what you are trying to find by intuitive thought has been purposely left out of modern day education. All the old school were taught inductor basics way differently than we are. Look how Maxwell and Tesla used inductors in a way we would never use them with our education. Steven said there is a kick when you first pwer the wire. I had trouble with line transients once, it never occurred to me they could be useful, they damage equipement quickly and I worked so hard overtime to get rid of them. We don't know were this kick comes from, relax and let's get it running so we can study it. I had one up just long enough (as long as the function gen lasted) to find that around the top the compass did piont North all the way around. It didn't run long enough to tip it on it's side to see if the bottom was South.

Everyone says, oh it works with the priciples of this device or that one. Well if it works like any device built before it, it's this one. I don't even think Steven is aware of the existence of this. It collects power from the Earth has a high frequecy, high voltage DC output and is 2 inductors. It's not practical like the TPU, it requires 1/4 mile of land in the right direction. Steven wants us to learn so let's go with him and see were he takes us.

Hi Raburgeson
     I'm currently browsing a book written in 1914 "Magnetism and Electricity"
"A Manual For Students In Advanced Classes". There are many interesting experiments in this book not found in todays textbooks. I read this book maybe 20 years ago, but need to look at it again in this context. Is there anything in particular I could look up as I have many old books such as this. I recommend  all to visit their local library, there are some gems that get donated. The internet does not go that deeply into older electrical art.

@Raburgeson
interesting patent, thanks for posting.

I'll have to study it in detail, but the main idea seems to be:

1)  Resonate a transmission line (1/2 mile in length) formed by one wire a few inches above the ground.

2)  Have a second shorter transmission line, close to the long one,  and pick up its resonant fields as usable energy.

My Insight on the TPU:

The TPUs have one thing in common,  they are stacked rings.   What if one causes resonance, and the other picks it up.  Something to think about.

I finished the first part of the rotating field. Here is a little movie that shows the rotation.

Sounds like SM's device works on the same principle
