Ramaswami,


You prototype is related to the 1902 patent (patent no. 30378) which uses just ONE signal (pulsed DC or alternating). In your case you have used AC as exciting current


 But the 1908 patent is different: it uses TWO signals generated in the commutator. The 1908 commutator generates TWO signals in opposition. Ac is just one signal. The commutator is the great difference between both patents. You should make an effort to understand the real function of the commutator . If not, you should, at least, stop saying that it is not needed. I encourage you to study the commutator in deep. Please look for technical advice . the commutator does not produce AC current. For simplifying: the commutator produce two AC-type signals at the same time, one in each side of the resistor array. The commutator is a key component of the 1908 patent, therefore Figuera explained it clearly and in detail and not just to cheat replicators. The 1908 needs two excitatory signals.


In summary: the principles explained in the 1902 patent and the 1908 patent are different. You can not mix both patents.

Hanon:

Then Probably I'm wrong but ended up with a different AC devices that produces good results. Let us leave that aside.

We built a commutator that is exactly as specified in the 1908 patent using a student. It creates sparks and so we needed to make it touch 3 contacts If it touches 2 cntacts at any time it ends up touching 3 contacts part of the time or just one contact part of the time when sparking comes. I have a person experienced in DC motors and he says DC motor armature has a commutator that is diffferent but it has a long life.

From what you and Doug 1 tell me I had not understood the patent properly but ended up building a device that is totally different..

Now can you and Dough1 confirm the following thoughts in my mind..

1. A battery powered the initial input or a bank of batteries.

2. The current drawn was wasted or reduced in the resistor array which then send it to the N magnets and S magnets. This is where my confusion starts.

For example the connection shows as follows. If N1 is strong S1 is weak but at the same time N2 is weak and S2 is strong. I think this is what that circuit shows. But I'm not clear about it. I'm very weak in understanding circuits.  But what I felt is that this is not needed and so I went with AC as I focussed on the principle of operation and not on the exact replication of the device.

While I can probably get an ordinary commuattor getting a special commutator with a long life customized tor several years of operation is not easy. I tried the patent exactly as shown and the commutor broke again and again. I have also determined that the straight pole method is the best one and it is the last patent shown by BuForn.

My apologies if my comments that Figuera tried to misdirect the competitors has hurt any one. This is normally employed in patent drafting. This can be done by a Patent Attorney only after he gets a lot of experience and so I went with my own thoughts.

The one strong point about me that I take action. I simply do not speak or argue. My understanding is that the resistors are only coils of 1 sq mm wires wound on air core tubes. Nothing more. But the input for the N magnets is at the top or bottom and the S magnets at the reverse end. This project has moving parts. I do not have the money to invest here this time. It remained a secret for more than 107 years. Let me take some more time and then try to solve the mystery.

Regarding the COP>8 device or higher COP device it will have to be replicated by others first and then mistakes rectified and then we will give my prototype to the Hight Voltage laboratory. it is not easy to build coils of this type and it takes man hours and it costs money to me.

Let me see how I can redo it. I do not like the 21 module device. I would rather prefer the 11 module device because it is smaller and easier to construct and it has 5 secondaries. But not immediately. No funds.

Dear All:

I'm receiving some private criticism that I have become some what aggressive. I apologize if that impression is conveyed and I'm actually very frustrated. One member here said that the COP>8 device if true can change the world. I do not know if it would.

Ramaswami,
Answering your queations: I do not know if Figuera used a battery or and array of batteries to power his device. The only data we know is that in one Buforn patent he stated that used 100 volts and 1 ampere as input to the machine. In the 1908 patent is true that sending current to the resistors is wasteful, But it seems required to do it in order to get the commutator output signals required. Figuera did not figure out another way in his days to get those two opposite signals. And last, in the 1908 patent while N1 to N2 are strong, S1 to S7 are weak. Later, when N1 to N7 are weak, S1 to S7 are strong. This is also clerly explained in the patent text. You have severe misunderstandings of that patent. I would encourage you to ask for technical advice for new eyes into the patent. You are already biased and see electromagnets sequences not included in the patent, as well as your view of the commutator which is either right

Hanon,
What is your interpretation of the 1902 patent 30378...

The reason I ask... the shape of the figure at the bottom of the page is the shape that Patrick has put on the website in the Figuera section...no explanation, no other diagram exists to explain it... and the diagram above the shape isn't included or described...

Anybody...? chime in.

All the Best

PS there is a red inked line on the bottom of 30376

Hanon:

I must apologize that at the moment I have no funds to replicate the Figuera device. My technical expertise as is known is limited. I have spent a lot of money already and actually I'm struggling to complete the two different designs I have built. I will do this 1908 Figuera design when I have funds. I have big difficulty understanding circuits as I openly admit. I was also under the impression that N1 to N7 progressively gets stronger and S7 to S1 progressively gets weaker or vice versa. But the circuits are confusing. And as you yourself say if the input was 100 volts and 1 amp the resistor array would waste current and that is what made me feel that the resistor array and commutator are diversionary tactics which is normal in patent drafting to misdirect competitors. I have no bias and I apologize for that impression conveyed. This device requires about 200 kgms of Iron for using AC and would need 800 kgms to 1000 kgms if we pulsed DC to avoid saturation. Possibly that the reason why the 21 cores are shown. But it is both difficult to get soft iron and very expensive even here to get soft iron.

Let me complete what I have here and then let me replicate this device if funds permit. I thank you very much for at least agreeing in part that the AC device uses the principles of the 30378 device. Frankly I do not think so and the device design is based on misinterpretation of the 1908 patent but uses the design of the 1908 patent. So I have kind of taken things from here and put it there and it kind of worked and I have to check how to ensure that all voltages from five different secondaries merge when on variable load and not on a fixed load. To me it seems that the best way is to use phase correction capacitors and then convert to DC and charge a bank of batteries a fixed load and then invert from DC to AC. All this requires significant expenses at my end. Let me first complete it and then come back. For a 12000 watts unit this requires a lot of batteries and custom built inverter etc etc and it is not clear if all this would when combined work as anticipated.  And it is another question assuming that they all do whether they can keep running the device in a self sustaining way. At the moment We stand at where we stood in 2013. Build the device, replicate it and understand the principle, and then give it to earth.  R&D is not easy and especially if one were to use his own funds and borrow and return to friends to do R&D..This is all I can demonstrate to the High voltage lab also and they have other facilities to test and see fixed load variable load and conversion to DC and charging of batteries and then inverting. IIT Madras estimates that the losses involved in conversion of AC to DC and then again DC to AC and then losses at the consuming AC unit to be 50% of the originally generated AC output. So after all these losses whether the Unit can self run is another question. Ultimately they may declare that it is not a cop>8 design but after all these losses are taken to account it may well be around COP>2 only. Any way some contribution from a person without technical background and dedication and commitment to spend own money and demonstrate a working device and put it up in public domain for all people throughout the world to use.

Today Figuers Patent would be refused if you apply for it. Both EPO and USPTO and other patent offices refuse to grant patent to any device that claims more output than input. Only some exceptions can be shown to this general attitude. This is one more reason why I put the device in to the public domain.

Let me focus on work rather than posting here..

Sorry I was not able to get back right away. Tending an injured horse that needed round the clock monitoring. Trading off with family members so we could also work and get a couple hours of sleep. Any way the resisters are set up so the current has a better or poorer path.There is always a path. when in combination with two paths the total always equals the full current that one coil can use before ohms law limits it. It's just directing where the quantity goes very rapid.  Im really tired and have to grab an hour of sleep before I hurl. I dont need sympathy I need sleep.

I was intrigued enough with Kelley's report of NRamaswami's generator to join the forum.  :) 

I have read the available information from time to time over the years, and always backing off because of lack of good info.  No useful theory, incomplete info, or
trivial results(Bedini motor) convinced me I would be wasting my time.  Perfect case in point is Figuera's device. Many excellent minds, 158 posts
and no  working device that resembles the patent...Except NRamaswami's device.

 WERE YOU PAYING ATTENTION AS TO HOW THAT CAME ABOUT?   


Anyway here I am. I am thinking I can scrape together a smaller scale replication.

I have broused through this forum a little more and find much of what I proposed needs modifying. Kelley's document is far from complete. I may collect all of RN's  suggestoins in a document... While a smaller device may be possible, it will require
careful thought. I think I can use the magnet wire, but will not be able to wind it tightly. If the device is dependent on capacitive effects, the dielectric of the insulation may be important. The thin enamel may give too high a capacitance.


At one point, I had an enormous pile of scrap security bars. It would have been enough to make the full core. I gave them to a step son-in-law.  :P
 I do have some...
At any rate I have a nearly full 10 lb spool of 14 ga magnet wire(~2 mm^2 area) which is about 800 ft./240 Meters.   I am considering buying regular 14/2 house wire and
strip the insulation to get sufficient additional.(Wrong! just leave it!) I plan to space the bare wire with paper(I know tedious) and Urethane each layer  as it will take a long time to order more wire where I live. (I think I may be able to layer tape or plastic between layers and space the windings enabling me to still use the magnet wire.) (After do some calc, I find I need at least 180 M additional wire. That's far too big a project to strip and insulate)  Unless I can come up with a test device that utilizes much closer to 240 M, I will have to wait.  >:(  Can 14 gauge be used in such a way as to produce sufficient field strength???

Basically, there are twenty windings. 12 at average diameter of 8.2 cm which gives approx 280 M(2 multifilar primaries)
                                                            8 at average diameter of 6.3 cm  making                   140 M( 8 layers of center winding) (wildly innacurate)

I am thinking of using pvc  pipe only as a form to bring the windings closer to the core(Cast the core, tape, and wind directly on it). I'll pack iron bars and wire( to fill spaces), immobilised with red primer(I believe  that "roaring" is a "bug, not a feature")  I calculate 11-12 Kg of Iron??  (~1500 cc) Seems low...did I miss something?(Now I see, I need to leave space for air circulation...I might still immobilise and reduce the roaring losses)

Half the wire area should handle half the current. For a similar B density, I believe I  would need 7 cm tube and 5 cm(locally available is  3" and 2"...will have to recalc) for the center instead of 4"/10 cm and 2.5"/6.3 cm.   90 turns should take up about 15 cm so the whole device will be about 50 cm long?? ( Now I'm thinking keep the core  diameter and make shorter coils.)

If I can get the square root of RN's current and 3 kw, it would be a roaring success. Actually, was thinking (I/2)2/I2

Any obvious errors?

However, what can I do with only 240 M?

TruthHunter:

The concept is so simple and you do not need to follow me every step to replicate.

If you have a 12 volt 16 amps transformer about three to five layers of that on P1 and p2 can act as primary.

The secondary must have 7 layers under S1, seven layers in S2, 2 layers in S3, 2 layers in S4 and 7 layers in S5.

connect like this. S1-S3-S5-S2-S4 and that will simplify the connections and use either single wire if possible. Wire should be insulated wire and we have stressed that or you need to put space between enamalled magnet wire and mild plastic sheet between layers..Do not understand where you got that idea of removing insulation..Just plain wrong.

If you do not have adequate wires use only S1-S5-S2 in that case use 9 layers on S1 and 9 layers on S2 and 7 layers on S5. As far as possible use thicker wires in secondary than in primary.

The problem with this approach is that Iron can get heated unless you have big mass of iron. We use both big mass and multifilar coils to increase the magnetic waves and reduce the primary input. Multiple magnetic waves going one after another is like sending high frequency current. Small small chunks but lot of them that creates a lot of waves that support each other. I made two small cores for a table top design I promised but I have a big problem. Lost a major case and have to prepare the appeal and so I will not be answering or posting here for some time. I have to make a living. And losing a case is a bad thing. Please use the opposite poles of the primary magnets and place the middle coil to be lenz free. I believe with just a single transformer and by using a 6 inch dia plastic tubes as Primaries and 2 inch dia tube as central secondary by winding on all three you should be able to see COP>1 easily.

Actually that is a very efficient design but unfortunately it has five secondaries and four of them suffer from Lenz law effect. The two secondaries one below the primary and one above reduce the backemf but Lenz law effect is there.  While you can see the central coil functioning properly I do not know if the voltages of all five coils would join..(for me some times they do and some times they don't and I don't understand why they would not join. If you want to create a COP>1 design I would recommend that you look at Buforn last patent and use the central cores alone and replicate that. The straight pole as we have seen is the most efficient one. Many such small poles would be needed. Secondary wire must be thicker, longer, have more turns than the primary wire. Please do not forget that and do not assume wrong things like removing insulation with great effort.

You must use insulated wire and do not remove the insulation. Read the patent and the pdf again please before you waste your time and money.

Wish you all success.

Hello All,
As I look at all the patents collectively... I get the feeling that in Spain or maybe just Figuera and Bujorn were patenting their ideas plus their drawings and of course their apparatuses. I would also imagine that Spain and its offices of patents or however they did things back then... the people involved held Professor Figuera in high esteem... Also I am sure there was pressure on Figuera and His economical partner Bujorn to produce a apparatus that coincided with their paper work... I also understand that Professor Figuera was known in other European Countries and doing work for them as such...so His reputation in His own backyard must have carried a lot weight... meaning when He died they afford Bujorn as much liberty as Figuera's reputation could carry..................

The main point from my point of view is the patent 30378...it clearly shows a dead on look into the main " figuera transformer " the transformers in the patent 44267 show how to effectively deal with the lenz law... the power house in patent 30378 is where the extra power is coming from...12 transformers powering just one " Figuera Transformer " and if you draw ( make it ) like the drawing on Kelly"s web site you have enough energy for the whole block... the red wire is on the patent 30376 and to include it where ever it produces the most electricity ( current )..........BUT... if you draw it exactly like the 30376 and 44267 combined you would have 4 y middle transformers instead of just one...

I think the confusion is looking at the 30378 from a draftsman's perspective instead... if you draw the lines down to the last shape it fits inside the dead on look shape above it...

Lastly... I don't see or read anything bifilar of the Tesla nature coinciding with Figuera... it would state that or it would show that... I just don't see mingling both of them... sorry Rams... that's just how I see it.... I think Figuera stumbled ( maybe not the right word ) on to a unigue way of running a motor to run a dynamo and then the super dynamo to kick in and whatever you want to run.......IMHO

All the Best
PS its correct on the Kelly website... its just not drawn in perspective like the Last set of interpretations

Update... I meant 12 transformers
Its either 1 transformer of 4 or 1 transformer of 12........... either way.... its seems to me a lot of extra power IMHO

Randy:

I agree that there is no mention of what type of coiling arrangement Figuera used. He has said simply Properly to describe how the coils are wound. That was very confusing. And Hanon has insisted to me that the input was 100 volts and 1 amps and output was 20000 watts. So I tried to reduce the input and what are the methods possible for doing that and accidentally stumbled across that multifilar method.

How did you get to the Number 24 when the patent says that it shows only 8 electromagnets..Please see..

be granted final patent of invention for this generator
whose form and arrangement are shown in the attached drawings, warning that,
in them, and for clarity are sketched only eight electromagnets, or two sets of
four excitatory electromagnets in each,
and the induced circuit is marked by a
thick line of reddish ink, being this way the general arrangement of the
appliance, but meaning that you can put more or less electromagnets and in
another form or grouping


I'm afraid that your understanding of the patents may not be accurate. But how do I know either? It is a guess really in so far as these devices are concerned. It is not clear why the resistor array is there and what it is doing if the amp is just 1 amp and the voltage is 100 volts for the primary. Why send two signals in opposite directions. That is not clear to me. Circuit is also confusing to me to this very day.

The 376 patent is the one where the coils rotated within fixed magnetic cores and that was the machine which made Figuera very famous. It was the machine that ran on its own and converted static electricity from air in to useable electricity as reported in papers. I have studied it and it is not rectangle in shape.  I have even planned to have it built and then avoided it for funding constraints. If some mechanical engineer with facilities were to try it can be built. May not cost much really. The same idea was stated by Tesla in 1889 in his Dynamo Electric Machine Homopolar generator patent. But Tesla being Tesla, avoided the part of self sustaining and indicated it in only one line of the patent text. Both the 376 and the Tesla patent are employing the same principles but in different designs.

There appears to have been two groups of academics one emphasising using Lenz law obeying equipments alone so that the repeated demand and orders will keep coming and one providing a complete one step solution for a long time and no repeat order and make power anywhere in the world. Figuera appear to belong to the later group and I find that there is not even a mention of the exception to the Lenz law rules. I find that every thing is based on Lenz law which is the electrical equivalent of for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Naturally commercial sense won. So we do not not know about this part of the science. Not knowing any thing I want to study that part first.

Nothing to be sorry here.. We all share and split our hair here. In view of my experiments I can say with confidence only one thing. That Properly word in the patent is the key to understand and replicate his patent and who knows it?

I updated the last post...
Here's a picture of a Dynamo around that time period...

Alliance Dynamo

Not that Figuera's turned but I think this picture comes to mind when I see the picture that Figuera produced...

Rams,
If you look at the Alliance dead on it would seem to be just one... but when drawn on its side the perspective changes a lot.

Also...there's 8 rows ( for lack of a better word ) and if each row had eight  N Y S configurations on it times 5 on the Alliance ( 7 times on the Figuera )... One pulse of 100 volts at 1 amp IMHO would achieve a lot of emf s when it finally reached its final destination.

Hence... the 100 volts 1 amp = 12 volts 8.33333333333333333333333333333333 amps  :-) is well with in the possibilities of the BDX53 along with a few Led s to amaze the onlookers....

Lastly... I think the Clemente & Bujorn team knew the problems Tesla had with Macaroni using His patents and hid or confused their patents abit...


All the Best

In 1857 Englishman Fredrick Hale Holmes modified the Nollet dynamo design and used it in the South Foreland lighthouse near Dover, England. The machine weighed two tons and had 120 coils arranged in five rings of twenty-four. The rotor had thirty-six compound permanent magnets arranged on six discs. The output for the light was DC. Ten years later he built another for the Souter Point lighthouse that had 96 coils and eight discs that produced alternating current.
