Self-Runner NS Coil Pulse Motor Live Video Stream. It's been going for months!

I wound a new large coil with 0.56mm

Thats about awg 23. You have around 20 ohms of resistance at 1000ft. An awg of #16 is about 4 ohms and #14 is close to 2.5 ohms. The Ampacity of awg 23 is less than one amp. Larger wire is a must if you plan on having any kind of amps. Apparently the amount of milliamps you have is not enough to produce a strong enough electromagnet field in the core or wire.
 

I don't think that there's any remanence in Laser's number

As long as there is an alternating opposing field there wont be much even with higher carbon steel wire. What you lose with high carbon steel wire though is the intensity of the field collapse.

Hi Lasersaber...... let me first say I find your exp. facinating ...I tried your exp. and found the magnetic effect to be very weak....perhaps its because I'm using sub level materials (no cotton covered wire).......the best magnetic effect I could get was from about 4" away ....I thought if I could increase the v/a,... the magnetic effect would increase.........also the iron, or steel core ,affects the movement of the compass....I use a mag suspendid from a fine thread.....but a ceramic mag will cause deflection from as far as 16" away...there's something here , definately...Magnetic Drive is where the answer lies.........I'll keep looking ...as I hope everybody else will...........thanxs for your work....shylo

Hi Shylo.  Still having HUGE difficulties here. 

Hi Rose....and to all I was a bit premature earlier ....I just made .5v .5ma with 20 inches of galv wire ,20 inches of stranded uninsulated wire,....no coils, just straight wires twisted around each other with cotton seperating them....wetted with salt water.....wire was ~20guage

Still with you at this point.  Here's how I understand it.  You've got one length of 20 inches of galvanised iron wire.  Then you've got another length of 20 inches of stranded uninsulated copper? wire.

I made 10 of these 2" long each

Shylow?  What did you make 2" long?  Do you mean 20 inches? 

5 in series,5 in parallel

Is this 5 of only copper in series or 5 of copper and 5 of iron mix in series and in parallel.  And if you have those open junctions at the end of each wire then when you put them in parallel they're also in series.  Surely?  Effectively they're both in series AND in parallel?  Am I missing something?  Or do you join the copper to the copper and the iron to the iron?  Then join those junctions copper to copper and iron to iron to parallel them?  Or do you join iron to copper?

tried with thicker wire #'s were way low....tried with enameled wire #'s were higher than thick,but still low,.....laser .56mm ,what guage is this?....1 set of 2" length of galv&bare stranded gives .75v & 8000micro amps ....the amps seem to add but the volts only add in series alone....tried multiple arrangements.seems galv core ,layer of cotton,layer of copper ,but only single wire of galv as core............ sorry I'm not very good at descibing things ...shylo

More of the same.  2 inches?  Did you mean this?  Or do you mean 20 inches?  And you're only using a single wire of galvanised wire for the core?  Effectively you're wrapping everything around wires?  Not sure of their length. 

Shylo - when I see the range of your tests I get it that you're looking to answer a whole lot of questions.  And I'm absolutely with you.  They're really good questions.  But the problem is that I'm not following your solutions and I really would LOVE to.  Please see if you can, perhaps, just draw what you mean - if it's a bore to write it.  Sorry to impose on you like this.  I'm entirely satisfied that I'm the only one who doesn't understand you and that's simply because I'm stupid.  But I keep wrestling here and am dying to get into your tests better.  The more so as I am very aware of your experimental talents.

Kindest regards,
Rosemary

In my experience distilled water works just fine.

How interesting is THAT? !!!     Laser, if this works with distilled water then IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT A BATTERY.  That's HUGE.  Does it perhaps not work as well?  Don tried it and found negligible results.  But I see your point.  The voltage measures have little to do with the magnetic properties of the coil.  And this is what 'turns' the rotor?  Of course. 

Good news indeed.  Now I'm 'refired' - if that's a word.  LOL.     DELIGHTED to see that your rig is still rumbling on.  I'm looking forward to finding out how long it needs to run before it's considered anomalous.  I never realised you had it on permanent display.  Can you give us a link when you get it up again?

GREAT STUFF.

Lasersaber:

Glad to see you posting.  Very intriguing tip about the alcohol.  When you get a chance, can you elaborate on your findings using this?  I am very interested.
