STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

Looks like Steorn put out a new learning module that is very close to the working concept!

Lumen, below is what the time variant magnetic material may be based on.

The Wiegand effect is a macroscopic extension of the Barkhausen effect as the special treatment of the Wiegand wire causes the wire to act macroscopically as a single large magnetic domain.  The small high-coercivity domains in the Wiegand wire outer shell switch in an avalanche, generating the Wiegand effect's rapid magnetic field change.

Because the voltage induced by a changing magnetic field is proportional to the rate of change of the field, a Wiegand-wire core can increase the output voltage by several orders of magnitude as compared to a similar coil with a non-Wiegand core. Once the Wiegand wire has flipped magnetization, it will retain that magnetization until flipped in the other direction.  It will not flip until an opposite polarity in the magnetic field reaches a certain threshold.

I've posted this information in various threads before this, but it's always ignored.  You're going to need more than just a toroid core.  You will need a Wiegand-wire core.

Great, now someone should build this. Although I would not recommend saturating the core.

I've seen several people who've had similar cop>1 designs based on the same method, but I don't recall their names and don't have the url's. Maybe someone knows.

I looked at about 1/2 of the module and it contains just basic Electronics 101 stuff about magnetism.  I'm underwhelmed.

My eyes are glazing over.

MileHigh is now added to the iggy bin for trolling

Anyone who doesn't think COP>1 is possible, is a troll on this forum.  "Zero Stars", below his name.  Go join the Physics Forum, they will welcome you with open arms.

Welcome aboard to the MH ignore list. Soon he'll be talking to himself, lol.

Hey, not to get off topic to the Steorn replication, but the Thane Heins "Bi-Toroid Transformer" seems to use the same effect, except in a solid-state design. I'm still trying to find the other inventors using the same effect. I vaguely recall his accent, perhaps Russian.

Here's an example of the Thane Heins "Bi-Toroid Transformer",
